Ha Dinh
I was born and grown in Thai Binh Province, a coastal place that is the hometown of many famous Vietnamese writers and scientists. It is also the motherland of water puppet theatres and music theatre Cheo. Since I was a child, I have always been interested in the culture and arts, and exploring cultural sites together with nature getaways is still my favorite travel style.
I have always been passionate about traveling. Discovering and trying something new is the most exciting part of my life. I have extensively traveled around Vietnam and other Indochina countries. In many respects, these countries have many similar things, but the beauty of each is still very different. My biggest dream is to travel the world and see the diversity of our planet. At this moment, I fulfill my dream by meeting and talking with people from around the world and helping them to make their dream of seeing the world come true.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in various activities in the Indochina region. I am happy to help clients with any trip idea they have. I love to spend time outdoors and explore cultural sites, so I can always arrange a trip, which will show the country from different sides to make it the most memorable experience for you. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"My career in travel started with working as a travel guide. I got this idea from my university groupmates. Every time we were going to the museum or just walked around the city, I told them the story of each place. And when it came to choosing the job, I decided to try. And I have never regretted this decision. I have met so many different people, and my days were filled with exciting emotions. After three years, I decided to try something different and try myself in travel consultancy. And I find it enjoyable. Now I can be with my clients for the entire trip, not only for one of a few days."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My most memorable trip was a few days trip to Pu Luong Nature Reserve. I had the biggest splash of my life there. After leaving busy Hanoi, I immersed myself in the endless mountains, fertile valleys, and pristine jungle. I could listen to the waterwheels and forest sounds, walk along the cultivated rice terraces, and snap pictures of the greenery and wildlife. For me, it is the most beautiful part of Vietnam.
The part I loved the most was joining the activities in the local craft workshop. Pu Luong is the home of Thai ethnic minorities, and they still preserve their timeless traditions. It is like stepping into a different world compared to modern and busy Hanoi. I so much enjoyed spending time there and learning more about the culture of the people of my country. I still use the basket I made there.
This experience was enormously valuable for me.

Vietnam is such an amazing country; it has so much to offer both in terms of nature, culture, and history. Halong Bay, Ham Rong Mountain in Sa Pa, Ninh Binh and Tam Coc are definite highlights, but equally powerful in different ways were the Cu Chi Tunnels, Hoi An, and Hue’s Imperial City.
We had the luck of having great guides, in particular Sau in Hoi An and Hue, and Vin in Ho Chi Minh City. And Ha was amazing throughout in ensuring all went well, including by adjusting our itinerary on... read more

The trip that was organised by Ha at Realistic Asia was phenomenal and planned out exceptionally. Ha and our guides were also accommodating when we requested a last minute adjustment to our plan when we were in Vietnam, just a day in advance! All that we needed to provide Ha with were our arrival and departure dates, the level of the accommodation that we would like to stay at, the places that we wished to visit and the activities that we were looking for, and she took care of everything,... read more

I hope that on my next trip (wherever in the world that might be), I have another guide like Chu and his team at Absolute Tours in Siem Reap. He was energetic (most sprightly!) and fun and absolutely made the city and Cambodia come alive for us while taking us on rarely traveled back-roads and single-track mountain bike trails. We were amazed by his knowledge and his passion for sharing and teaching. While many guides seem to tick the box, Chu was ready to take us beyond the well-worn tourist... read more
