Eight Moments that Make a Journey Feel Full

2026-06-03T11:50:00+07:00

We remember some trips as checklists of sights and experiences, while others remain as nebulous feelings of peace and an enduring calm.

On the shores of Bãi Trường, InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort has spent eight years cultivating these states of mind by foregrounding the location's warmth through its hospitality standards. Small and large actions have allowed the resort to become one of Phú Quốc’s most cherished resorts.

To mark its eighth anniversary, the resort has compiled eight defining moments that come together to make a complete day that exemplifies the rich, unhurried beauty of island living.

Graceful arrival

Every holiday beneath a bright island sky begins with a familiar “Xin Chào,” a cool welcome drink and an inviting arrival team. In the open lobby, where the sea takes almost immediate attention, the fatigue of travel evaporates. From this point forward, the day is a matter of accepting an invitation to settle in, breathe deeply, and let Phú Quốc work its charms.

Island calm

Against the sea's vast blue, InterContinental Phu Quoc feels immense and open. Soft coastal light and fresh air prance across the resort's tropical gardens, shaded pathways, and sandy beach.

Walking through the grounds triggers childhood wonder. Birds calling amongst the palm fronds and gardenias accented with morning dew suggest a different way to absorb one's surroundings. The resort allows for a more sincere relationship with the world if given time and space.

Effortless Renewal

Past a shaded pathway and down a few quiet steps, HARNN Heritage Spa serves as a sanctuary held within bamboo architecture. Treatment rooms poised above a lotus pond, Eastern healing traditions, and the harmony of the Five Elements culminate in an experience beyond indulgences.

After a long flight or days spent in motion, treatments allow one to reacquaint oneself with the soul's inner-tufting. The body and mind achieve greater balance as one reconnects with a sense of calm that had campered away unnoticed.

Communal warmth

InterContinental Phu Quoc provides obvious means of connection: a table set with sunrays and good food or the close susurrus of ocean waves while surrounded by loved ones.

By the pools, beneath tropical trees or under the bamboo canopy of Ombra restaurant, conversations drift between old stories and new ideas while children laugh. Such seemingly simple afternoons seem to return time and time again to guests after they depart the island.

Welcome discovery

Within the resort’s tropical gardens, the Botanical Walk invites guests to enjoy leisurely strolls that reward curious, attentive minds. Along stone paths shaded by greenery, birds sing in the canopy while plants unfurl without expectations of an audience.

There is no grand effort offered by the scene or required to enjoy it. The beauty of time here lies in simply noticing: a flower after rain, a branch stirred by the wind, a patch of light resting on the dirt, and the feeling of grace nuzzling against the afternoon's fabric.

Sunset glow

As daylight dissipates, guests gravitate toward INK 360 on the 19th floor, Phú Quốc’s highest rooftop bar and one of InterContinental Phu Quoc’s most evocative evening locations. Embracing a fantastic Kraken-inspired universe, logic and reason feel suspended here between sea, sky, and one's imagination.

The most stirring moment arrives when golden light coagulates over the water, and the sky slowly deepens in color. With a creative cocktail in hand, sweet at first and gently spiced at the finish, the experience doubles down on the phenomenal.

Evening romance

If INK 360's energy is one of nightfall, LAVA holds the evening’s flames. Set by the sand beneath sweeping bamboo arches, the resort’s signature restaurant is a stage for coastal dining. Firelight, sea breeze, and the soothing contours of the shore shape the mood before the first course arrives.

“Dinner with Chef Dung” is one of LAVA’s most memorable experiences. Incorporating local ingredients and a strong sense of place, each course brings a refined surprise that allows Phú Quốc’s flavours to insist upon their presence. They are the perfect pleasure to accompany a night spent close to the sea.

Deep rest

The day’s final generous gesture is a sea-facing room prepared for deep rest. Soft bedding, warm light, gentle music, and the distant sound of waves create a private sense of fulfillment after a day filled with movement, flavor, and feeling.

Nothing about the space is excessive, and every detail has been placed with care. The room is thus a pause before morning brings the first light through the window and island life begins again.

The beauty of eight years

Eight years is more than an anniversary. For InterContinental Phu Quoc, it marks the maturity of a style of hospitality developed through patience, consistency, and an instinct for care. This occasion is celebrated in small details, experiences made with grace, and refined moments that will stay with each guest.

For this special milestone, the resort invites guests to return to Bãi Trường through the “Eight Years of Sea Grace” package. It is an invitation to begin the day with the sea, to experience moments of calm, and to close the evening with sunset, dining, and meaningful connections. The experience celebrates eight years and the rare luxury of time well spent.

La Veranda Resort Phú Quốc – MGallery: A House Called Summer

2026-05-22T10:26:27+07:00

There is a mansion on the southwest shores of Phú Quốc where summer never really ends. La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc – MGallery — named Asia's Leading Boutique Resort at the 2025 World Travel Awards and among Vietnam's Top 10 Best Resorts by the 2025 DestinAsian Readers' Choice Awards — was fashioned by founder Madame Catherine as an ode to the graceful Indochine style of her youth. Though seventy-three rooms lie within, the property is more like a house than a hotel.

That distinction as a homey abode is clear from the moment you arrive, as your welcome drink is poured, and as you enter your room to find a handwritten letter credited to Madame Catherine resting on the four-post bed. The Ocean Suite, 73sqm of elegance, separate living and dining areas, private sea-view terrace, and a soaking bathtub that deserves your afternoon, begins at USD320++ per night.

Days at La Veranda feel curated rather than happenstance: morning yoga at the Yoga Shala, afternoon tea and bites at Le Bar, evening wine receptions on the terrace, and the weekly highlight - a cooking class with a chef at the beach's edge. Guests also enjoy Al fresco breakfasts at Le Jardin and candlelit dinners at The Peppertree, as attended to by taff who anticipate before being asked for attention. For those drawn to the garden, the Deluxe Garden begins from USD 195++ per night.

When one's mind and body yerns for inacivity, the Summer Hers & His at TĨNH Wellness Sanctuary, Vietnam's #1 Best Hotel Spa, according to Travel + Leisure 2025, offers a 3-day, 2-night Detox or Burnout Recovery retreat from USD 535++ per couple.

Come find summer where it begins, ends and is in a perpetual state of continuing, a veritable ouroboros of summer, at La Veranda at La Veranda Resort Summer Offers.

A Summer Escape Just Outside Saigon

2026-05-19T09:52:00+07:00

Summer often evokes images of journeys to distant locales far removed from familiar routines so as to rediscover the feeling of true rest. Yet amid peak travel seasons, rising transportation costs, and increasingly exhausting journeys, more families are embracing the idea of retreats closer to the city.

A getaway can still feel private, tranquil, and distinct enough to offer complete relaxation, especially when nature and a slower pace of life are only a short riverside journey from central Saigon.

During the 25-minute journey from central Saigon by speedboat or car, the atmosphere gradually transforms. The sounds of the city fade and make room for rustling leaves, cool breezes drifting across the water, and endless shades of green lining the riverbanks.

Gently placed along the Saigon River, the retreat feels like a secluded oasis with shaded pathways, tranquil waters, and open spaces designed to welcome sunlight and fresh air. Riverside villas, built with warm wood and natural stone, allow daylight to filter gently through expansive windows while river breezes move through every corner.

Private pool villas create an intimate and secluded retreat where the experience of slowing down begins within the comfort of one’s own space.

Mornings here begin with birdsong and the first light of day shimmering across the river. Families can wake together, and enjoy uninterrupted moments beside one another, free from the constant hammering of daily obligations

Summer at An Lâm is not beholden to packed itineraries or tireless schedules. Instead, each day is a matter of instinct and acceptance. Children can explore lush gardens, join hands-on craft activities, or tend herbs and vegetables in the organic garden. For adults, it may be an early morning yoga session by the river, a few quiet moments of meditation surrounded by trees, a leisurely afternoon tea, or a slow sunset cruise along the Saigon River.

It is often these simple moments that foster the most meaningful connections between family members.

Without elaborate plans or distant destinations, summer sometimes becomes simply about being closer to one another. Small moments take on new meaning while revealing just how distant the daily grind can make us.

As evening gently falls, the retreat transforms beneath warm golden light. The riverside setting grows even more peaceful; the most beautiful time of day for families to gather together.

At Sen Restaurant, dinner is as languid as the breeze. Familiar Vietnamese flavors are prepared using local ingredients and presented with refinement and understated elegance. Amid soft music and conversations flowing around the table, the setting is soft enough to appreciate each other’s presence.

Cruising along the river at sunset offers another quiet moment to embrace the beauty of life beside the Saigon River.

Beyond being a place to unwind, An Lâm Retreats Saigon River also offers opportunities to connect more deeply with the local culture and spirit of the surrounding region. Just a short journey from the retreat, guests may discover traditional ceramic villages, visit historical landmarks, or experience the less-encumbered riverside life. Vietnamese heritage is naturally woven into every experience, from the architecture and cuisine to the subtle connection with the land itself.

A summer at An Lâm Retreats Saigon River is not measured by how far one travels, but by the moments truly shared together. Just beyond Saigon, there remains a place where nature, stillness, and simple moments come together to create a summer worth remembering.

Summer often evokes images journeys to distant locales far removed from familiar routines so as to rediscover the feeling of true rest. Yet amid peak travel seasons, rising transportation costs, and increasingly exhausting journeys, more families are embracing the idea of retreats closer to the city.

Saigon Áo Dài Cocktail Festival 2026 Wraps Up in Style

2026-05-12T14:51:28+07:00

On May 10, silk, spirits, and sound filled Le Méridien Saigon on the occasion of the Saigon Áo Dài Cocktail Festival 2026, courtesy of Saigon bartenders, designers and musicians.

The event tapped into the elegance and visual language of the áo dài, placed amidst Saigon’s growing cocktail culture. The mood of the event, hosted by Saigon Outcast, evolved throughout the day, with masterclasses and runway shows, DJ sets curated by FTWR, and The Golden Shaker competition, wherein participating bars (Barson, The Enigma Mansion, Summer Experiment, Layla Eatery & Bar, STIR, Modern Classic Cocktails, Savor Cocktail Club, Hybrid Saigon, Raw + Atelier, Mami Cocktails and House of Barbaard) showcased their style and techniques. Hybrid ultimately took first place, with Barson in second and Barbaard in third. Beyond a friendly competition, where audience votes were tabulated via Noshbox, the results reflected the range of Saigon’s contemporary bar scene, where increasingly sophisticated customers seek out unique stories and atmospheres.

The festival also provided educational opportunities through a professionally-led masterclass program. Guests could move from whisky to gin and everything in between thanks to brand representatives from Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, Mathieu Teisseire, Jack Daniel’s, Hendrick’s Gin, Flor de Caña, Về Để Đi, The Studio Saigon, and Ly Gia Vien collaborations with Capfruit and Callebaut.

Fashion gave the festival its visual identity with runway shows placing the áo dài in conversation with contemporary Saigon nightlife, bringing together heritage and personal interpretation. Rather than presenting the áo dài as a remnant of tradition, designers at the event (Richie Fawcett, Chula, More Than Blue, Đinh Bách Đạt, SexyBack and My K.D.V) placed the garment within the city’s contemporary creative scene.

The music program tied the atmosphere together, with DJ sets, runway soundtracks, and live performances, building toward the evening’s Stargazing Records live show and closing sets. Saigon Áo Dài Cocktail Festival accomplished its grand ambition of interweaving drinks, fashion, and music organically.

Education is No Longer About Choosing a Program, but Architecting a Future Pathway

2026-05-11T17:01:02+07:00

For many years, choosing an international curriculum was widely seen as the “optimal answer” for families seeking a global future for their children. However, as university expectations continue to evolve — requiring not only strong academic knowledge, but also independent thinking, research capabilities, adaptability, and a clear sense of personal identity — the key question is no longer “Which Program should we choose?”, but “Which learning pathway is truly right for the student?”

In this context, integrated education models — combining the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge, and the curriculum of Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) — are gradually emerging as a strategic choice. Beyond helping students develop both a global mindset and a solid academic foundation, this model offers an even more important advantage: the flexibility to choose their future, instead of being confined to a single pathway.

When a Single Curriculum is No Longer Enough

For many years, the question “Which curriculum should we choose for our child?” was considered central to education planning. Today, however, that question is becoming increasingly outdated.

As the world changes faster than ever, what families truly need is no longer just a good program, but a learning pathway flexible enough for students to develop a global mindset while remaining deeply adaptable to local contexts. In reality, no single education system can fully meet both requirements.

From an academic perspective, the differences between international curricula are becoming increasingly clear. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is known for its educational philosophy that emphasizes critical thinking, independent research, and a global citizenship mindset. IB students are trained to ask questions, analyze issues from multiple perspectives, and connect knowledge with real-world, interdisciplinary challenges — qualities that are highly valued by leading universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and beyond.

The IB program, combined with Cambridge, helps students develop critical thinking while building a strong academic foundation in each subject. Cambridge, meanwhile, takes a different approach.

It focuses on subject-specific depth, builds a strong foundation of academic knowledge, and prepares students for standardized examinations — an important advantage for universities in the UK and many countries that follow similar education systems.

Rather than placing IB and Cambridge in opposition, education planning today requires a more balanced approach. The focus should not be on selecting a single curriculum, but on how a school designs a learning pathway with both depth and flexibility — one that supports students’ holistic development in both thinking and academic mastery.

In practice, the two systems complement rather than replace each other. A student following only the IB pathway may develop strong critical and interdisciplinary thinking, but may sometimes need further subject-specific sharpness. Conversely, a student following a purely Cambridge pathway may achieve strong academic results, but may need more time and space to develop independent research skills and interdisciplinary thinking. The real challenge, therefore, is not choosing one system over the other, but strategically combining the strengths of both.

At the same time, the role of the MOET curriculum should also be viewed from a broader perspective. For years, many parents considered the inclusion of MOET requirements as a “compromise” to comply with local regulations. This perception is changing. For many Vietnamese families, maintaining a connection with the national language, culture, and education system is not only a legal requirement, but also a long-term strategic choice — one that helps students preserve flexibility across future academic options.

Within this broader landscape, schools that pursue a full IB continuum while also strengthening academic depth, multi-context adaptability, and local connection from the early years through upper secondary education are increasingly becoming a preferred choice for many families. These models not only prepare students to step into the world; they also help them understand themselves and take ownership of the path ahead.

This is no longer a story about finding a “cost-effective” or “situationally flexible” option. It is an intentional decision that reflects how families are shaping their children’s future.

Two Priorities That Can No Longer Be Separated: Global Readiness and Local Flexibility

If the previous section raises a systemic issue — that no single curriculum is sufficient to prepare students for a changing world — this section looks at how that challenge can be addressed in practice.

The key does not lie in simply “adding” more programs. Rather, it lies in integrating them intelligently to optimize learning time and eliminate unnecessary overlap. When designed properly, students do not have to repeat the same knowledge across different systems. Instead, they can use that time to develop the core competencies required by modern education: research, critical thinking, and real-world experience.

With the full IB Continuum as the backbone, supported by Cambridge and the MOET curriculum, this model enables students to develop interdisciplinary thinking, strong subject-specific knowledge, and a grounded sense of national identity. Cambridge serves as a complementary academic benchmark, while IB remains the core that nurtures project-based thinking and student agency.

Core IB components such as TOK, the Extended Essay, and CAS help students strengthen their research mindset, critical thinking, and sense of agency.

At the heart of the full IB Continuum, three core components — the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) — form the foundation of its difference. These are not merely supplementary elements, but compulsory requirements that push students to operate like independent researchers while still in high school.

By completing a long-term research project, defending academic arguments, and engaging in social and personal development activities, students build interdisciplinary thinking and self-directed learning skills — both of which are essential for success at the university level. It is no coincidence that the IB is recognized by more than 5,000 universities worldwide, and multiple studies have shown that IB students often achieve stronger university retention outcomes compared with average student populations.

With the support of Cambridge IGCSE, students can enter the academically demanding IB Diploma Program with a stronger foundation. The IB Middle Years Program plays a key role in shaping students’ thinking, inquiry skills, and sense of agency, while Cambridge strengthens subject-specific knowledge. With this combination, students are better prepared for the transition into the IBDP — a Program that requires a higher level of synthesis, analysis, and research. The “Cambridge first, IBDP later” pathway has been adopted by many leading international schools in Asia as a more structured progression, rather than requiring students to suddenly adapt to the complex demands of IB at a later stage.

The third layer of support comes from the MOET curriculum, which brings identity and flexibility into the model. This is particularly important in a context where many parents worry that international education may cause their children to lose touch with the Vietnamese language and cultural roots. For international students, meanwhile, they may not study the MOET curriculum, but continue with the IB Program while maintaining their mother tongue or learning widely used international languages such as French or Spanish.

Through a full IB Continuum model supported by Cambridge and MOET, students are not only prepared for international opportunities, but also retain the flexibility to adapt to different future choices. More importantly, they do not have to choose between “going global” and “staying rooted at home” — they can be equipped to do both.

From “Learning to Know” to “Learning to Adapt”: The Long-Term Value of the Right Pathway

If traditional education once focused heavily on knowledge accumulation, modern education is shifting toward a different goal: adaptability. In this context, an integrated education model is not simply the sum of three curricula. It is an approach that creates a different quality of learner. This is not about studying more, but about learning through a structure that enables students to become a more complete version of themselves.

This difference becomes clearest when looking at two development dimensions that are often treated as opposing priorities: being well-rounded and being specialized. An IB pathway can help students develop broad thinking, reasoning ability, and the capacity to view issues from multiple perspectives. Cambridge, on the other hand, brings academic depth and clear subject mastery. In reality, leading universities around the world are not looking for only one of these qualities. They are looking for individuals who can demonstrate both.

The integrated education model aims to develop students who are both well-rounded in their thinking and equipped with strong academic depth.

A student educated through an integrated model can develop and defend complex arguments through IB’s TOK and Extended Essay, while also demonstrating subject-specific academic ability through Cambridge results. This type of academic profile reflects not only how a student thinks, but also the depth of knowledge they have mastered — an increasingly important standard in global university admissions.

From the perspective of academic credentials, the value of this model becomes even clearer. Students graduate not with a single qualification, but with a multi-layered academic profile: the IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSE results, and MOET transcripts. These credentials correspond to different university admission systems. The IB Diploma opens doors to universities in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and many other countries. Cambridge IGCSE aligns well with the UK system and Commonwealth countries. MOET records, meanwhile, preserve options for admission to leading universities in Vietnam. In an increasingly flexible education landscape, this is more than an advantage — it is a form of strategic insurance for students’ futures.

Another important factor, often less discussed but highly decisive, lies in the quality of the school ecosystem. Schools accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) are not assessed solely on curriculum, but on the entire way they operate — from teaching quality and multicultural experience to standards of wellbeing, child protection, and school governance. This is why many universities around the world value students from CIS-accredited schools: such accreditation provides a broader assurance of educational quality and the environment in which students are developed.

Overall, the integrated model introduces what can be described as the “privilege of maximizing opportunity.” No longer limited to a single pathway, students are empowered to make active choices — not only about their major or university, but also about the country and education system that best fit their future.

At a deeper level, the greatest value of this model does not lie in the number of qualifications a student holds, but in the adaptability they carry with them after leaving school. In a world where change is the only certainty, this may be the most sustainable advantage education can provide.

Established in 2015, Tesla Education is among the few elite institutions in Vietnam authorized to deliver the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school implements a synergistic academic model integrating IB, Cambridge, and the MOET curriculum, with a strategic focus on Science, Technology, Project-Based Learning, and the holistic development of student competencies.

To expand access to this advanced integrated educational model, Tesla Education is currently offering the Academic Excellence Scholarship for Grade 10 enrollment — with financial support of up to 90% of tuition fees, valued at a maximum of VND 500 million (approx. $19,000).

Sweet Valentien will handle hosting duties to ensure the evening is a perfectly blended dose of entertainment, education, and escapism.

Before the refined and rowdy mood consumes the event, two separate rooms will host complimentary masterclasses. The first room will include introductions to esteemed brands Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, Mathieu Teisseire, Jack Daniel's, and Hendrick's Gin. The second room, meanwhile, will tackle trending cocktail topics, including how to incorporate citron, finding balance in bitter, and how drinks can impart peace.

Tickets priced at 300k vnđ can be purchased in advance at megatix or via the vioapp or 350k at the door.

An Lâm Retreats Ninh Vân Bay Provides the Serenity Required for a Relaxing Summer

2026-04-29T04:52:05+07:00

For many families, summer is a time for seaside escapes that allow children to roam, explore, play, and immerse themselves in a world of water-based activities. Yet, finding a destination in nature that is equally ideal for young ones while allowing parents to truly unwind and enjoy moments of quiet is not always easy. This is why destinations such as Nha Trang and Đà Nẵng often come to mind as locales where favorable weather combines with a diverse range of hotels and resorts, thoughtfully designed to meet these expectations.

An Lâm Retreats Ninh Vân Bay takes just 15 minutes to reach by speedboat, yet the journey is enough to leave behind the familiar clamor of daily life and allow the immediacies of the present to become more intimate.

With a private pool and expansive views of the bay, each villa feels like a second home between sea and forest.

Amid vibrant nature, the two-bedroom villas offer a total sense of privacy. Each space is thoughtfully arranged to bring families close during slow mornings and unhurried moments together, yet private enough for quiet, personal pauses accompanied by the sound of the waves.

Days at the resort require little planning. Children are free to explore nature in their own way, from kayaking across calm waters and snorkeling above coral reefs, to following guided trails to the stream where they can learn about the local ecosystem, or simply playing in the open greenery. Abandoning fixed schedules allows each experience to invite curiosity and joy, allowing childhood to bluster ahead naturally in the embrace of nature.

Meanwhile, adults can take time for themselves, beginning the day with yoga by the sea or restoring balance through relaxing spa therapies in a tranquil setting. Thoughtfully designed wellness experiences allow both body and mind to renew, from yoga and meditation to treatments inspired by nature and local traditions.

Alongside the resort experiences, the culinary journey at An Lâm Retreats Ninh Vân Bay is thoughtfully designed with enough variety to give each day its own distinct character. For longer stays, discovering new settings and flavors becomes a natural part of the experience.

At Sen Restaurant, the menu relies on a balance of Vietnamese and Western cuisine, prepared with simplicity to showcase the essence of each ingredient. Overlooking the bay, the meals feel buoyant thanks to natural light and sea breeze. Guests should also not miss the seafood BBQ, a chance to savor the fresh flavours of the bay in an open-air setting.

With a private pool and expansive views of the bay, each villa feels like a second home sprung up between sea and forest.

Meanwhile, Beach Bar & Deck offers a more open, relaxed, and easy-going atmosphere. It is an ideal setting for light lunches or slow afternoons, with familiar favourites such as pizza and easy-to-enjoy options suited for both adults and children.

A summer at An Lâm Retreats Ninh Vân Bay is an opportunity to experience the exuberance of flexibility. Amid the secluded bay, the stress from living in a city’s frantic pace evaporates, and guests can truly be present for one another.

Tesla Education Achieves the Full IB Continuum After a 5-Year Journey: Expanding Hồ Chí Minh City's International Education Map

2026-04-28T12:29:36+07:00

Achieving the fully continuous International Baccalaureate(IB) framework has always been regarded as a rare milestone in the educational landscape. In April 2026, Tesla Education officially joined this elite group in Vietnam, after a relentless 5-year journey capped by a remarkable streak of four international accreditations within just 12 months. This landmark achievement not only affirms the institution's academic rigor but also fundamentally reshapes the international education map in Hồ Chí Minh City, unveiling a pioneering approach to long-term educational investment.

The Full IB Continuum: the culmination of a 5-year journey of rigorous standardization

In Hồ Chí Minh City's international education landscape, authorization to deliver the International Baccalaureate (IB) program has long been considered a hallmark of academic excellence. However, attaining the status of a Full IB Continuum School, which possesses the capacity to seamlessly implement all three core programs: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), represents an even higher echelon. More than merely a matter of adopting a curriculum, it presents a profound systemic challenge. From educational philosophy and faculty proficiency to operational infrastructure, every facet must be rigorously standardized against hundreds of independent evaluation criteria set by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).

In late April 2026, upon officially receiving authorization for the IB DP, Tesla Education emerged as the 5th full-continuum IB school in HCMC. This milestone significantly broadens the horizons for parents seeking a seamless, world-class learning journey right here at home.

Within a mere 12-month span, Tesla Education successfully secured four major international accreditations: CIS (June 2025), Cambridge (July 2025), IB MYP (November 2025), and ultimately, the IB DP (April 2026). Typically, each of these certifications demands an independent evaluation process spanning several years. Accomplishing all four within a single year is the direct yield of five years of meticulous, concurrent preparation. Behind this dense streak of accolades lies a 5-year process of compounding excellence, where each academic tier is meticulously engineered as a robust foundation for the next. From cultivating an exploratory mindset in the Primary Years, to advancing academic fortitude in the Middle Years, to perfecting independent research capabilities in the Diploma phase, the entire ecosystem is designed as a continuous axis of development rather than a patchwork of fragmented stages.

The school gathers to celebrate the momentous occasion of achieving the fully continuous IB framework.

The quintessential value of the IB Continuum resides precisely in this seamlessness. IBO research conducted across Southeast Asia reveals that students who traverse the full Continuum pathway consistently exhibit pronounced advantages in critical thinking, autonomous learning, and psychological stability (i.e., well-being). Conversely, students who merely "jump" into the IB framework at the final high school stage often encounter "methodological shock" due to stark differences in pedagogical and assessment approaches.

In this context, investing in a Full IB Continuum education transcends a simple curriculum choice and secures a profound, long-term strategy that ensures absolute consistency in a learner's cognitive evolution. For Tesla Education, the 5-year odyssey to achieve the IB Continuum is a powerful affirmation of an educational philosophy relentlessly dedicated to continuity, academic discipline, and uncompromising global standards from the very first foundational steps.

Multi-tiered assurance from world-leading educational frameworks

While the Full IB Continuum serves as the "academic backbone" of the learning pathway, the concurrent integration of the Cambridge curriculum and accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS) fosters a multi-tiered educational ecosystem—one that is both academically rigorous and operationally sustainable. Rather than adopting a singular, isolated model, Tesla Education pursues an integrated approach where global standards combine for a comprehensive launchpad for students on their global integration journey.

Within this architectural framework, the Cambridge program delivers a highly standardized, logical, and deeply cumulative knowledge base. This curriculum is particularly esteemed by the international parent community, especially expatriate professionals, for its disciplined structure and strict reliability in evaluating student competency. The presence of Cambridge, therefore, not only fortifies intellectual foundations but also establishes universal academic language, enabling students to seamlessly adapt to diverse international education systems.

The full IB Continuum pathway creates a learning environment where students are equipped with knowledge and develop intellectual confidence and adaptability.

Delving deeper, accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS) focuses on the foundational yet often unseen elements of a school: from institutional governance and faculty excellence to comprehensive standards for student safety and psychological well-being. With just over 700 schools certified globally, CIS is recognized as one of the most rigorous evaluation bodies in the world today. Achieving this credential signifies that the entire educational environment, including the curriculum, has been vetted and proven at a global standard, granting parents profound, long-term peace of mind.

The focal point where this entire ecosystem converges is the IB Diploma. Widely respected by leading universities around the world, the IB Diploma offers not only a competitive advantage in admissions but also clear academic and practical benefits. Top institutions such as Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, many Ivy League universities, and other prestigious institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom recognize the academic rigor, independent research skills, and critical thinking fostered by the IB programme. In addition, at many universities worldwide, including those in the University of California system, New York University, and numerous members of the Russell Group, students who achieve strong results in IB Higher Level subjects may be considered for advanced standing, course placement, or college credit, depending on each institution’s policies. In many cases, this can help shorten the time required to complete a degree and improve the overall return on investment for families pursuing overseas education.

Reflecting on this milestone, a representative of the Tesla Education Board of Management affirmed: "The IB Continuum is not our final destination; rather, it is the solid foundation for a profound, long-term commitment. We are architecting an educational environment where students are not merely equipped with knowledge, but are empowered to cultivate intellectual fortitude and agile adaptability — the quintessential attributes required to thrive as global citizens in a world of constant flux."

Solving the educational investment equation: the strategic advantage of western Saigon and a pioneering financial approach

The completion of the Full IB Continuum by Tesla Education directly shifts the school selection process for parents in Saigon. For years, IB Continuum schools have been heavily concentrated in the Eastern and Southern districts, leaving areas like former Tân Bình, Phú Nhuận, and Bình Tân without easy access to fully continuous international education. Therefore, the emergence of Tesla Education in Tân Bình is a strategic recalibration of the city's educational distribution.

The geographical factor, though frequently underestimated, profoundly dictates the long-term learning experience. Mitigating daily commute times, especially amidst the escalating pressures of urban traffic, not only saves students 1 to 2 hours daily but also safeguards their physical well-being, mental acuity, and capacity to engage in holistic extracurricular pursuits. For many families, this grueling commute is a burdensome hidden cost, which is now effectively eliminated by this optimal strategic location.

From “exclusive” to “accessible”: Tesla Education is expanding access to the International Baccalaureate pathway for Vietnamese families.

The impact of the new school is most acutely felt within the expatriate enclaves surrounding Tân Sơn Nhất Airport and its adjacent neighborhoods. Among the tens of thousands of Korean nationals and other expatriate communities, the demand for an internationally accredited, methodologically familiar education system is a constant imperative. The presence of a localized IB Continuum school drastically bridges the gap between this elite demand and accessibility, sparing families the daily cross-city logistics.

The accessibility of Tesla Education to families in former Tân Bình, Phú Nhuận, and Bình Tân constitutes an exciting development for the city.

Concurrently with its locational leverage, Tesla Education arrives mindful of families’ highly pragmatic financial lenses. Given that the majority of self-funded Vietnamese international students face an average annual expenditure of $30,000 to $40,000, investing in a world-class international pathway domestically is rapidly becoming the premier alternative. To commemorate the IB Continuum milestone, Tesla Education has officially launched the IB Diploma Programme (DP) Scholarship Fund, offering up to 90% tuition coverage for Grade 10 students demonstrating exceptional academic prowess.

With maximum financial support reaching 500 million VND, the actual cost of acquiring an elite IB education at Tesla is brought into a remarkably accessible threshold compared to the market average. This initiative not only democratizes opportunities for high-caliber students but also means international education is no longer an exclusive luxury, but a decision that can align with the long-term investment portfolios of modern Vietnamese families.

Ultimately, the combination of a prime location, a fully standardized global academic framework, and an agile financial policy positions Tesla Education as far greater than the sum of its parts. It is an institution where parents are not simply evaluating educational quality, but are holistically optimizing the entire investment journey for their children’s future.

Established in 2015 in Hồ Chí Minh City, Tesla Education is a fully authorized IB Continuum World School, delivering a seamless International Baccalaureate journey from Early Years through High School. The institution pioneers a dual-pathway model that beautifully synergizes the Vietnamese national curriculum (MOET) with the globally renowned IB framework, placing a strong emphasis on science, technology, project-based inquiry, and holistic skill development.

For the current academic year, Tesla is proud to launch the Academic Excellence Scholarship for incoming Grade 10 students. Offering up to 90% tuition coverage—equivalent to a maximum value of 500,000,000 VND—this initiative brings the actual tuition fee down to an incredibly accessible starting point of just 61.6 million VND per year.

When the Dragonfly Calls Summer Home at InterContinental Phu Quoc

2026-04-07T12:31:00+07:00

On Phú Quốc, summer is as much a feeling as it is a season. Long days, ocean salt in the air, and quiet mornings before the island have awoken carry the promise of carefree summer days ahead. And if you're really lucky, you will see dragonflies flirting between the gardens and the shoreline.

At InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort, those carefree summer days are obvious in the breeze that moves naturally through the resort's airy corridors and broad verandas that frame the horizon. Particularly in tropical climates, where the weather only changes so much, seasons are best measured by people: children playing in the surf, adults resting in the shade, couples sharing romantic moments beneath a mellifluous sky. Free of daily demands and distractions, summer allows people to focus on what they are feeling in the moment, be it joy or nostalgia or a desperate longing to live.

Every vacation has different aims, both tangible and existential, but whether one wants to connect with family members they don't see often, or they are seeking to heal some sense of self that's been battered to smithereens, they must eat. InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort has venues that carry and cater to different moods and tempos. Their particular aesthetics and moods can best be articulated via the five basic elements.

A day begins with Earth at Sora & Umi. Amidst morning light, guests can feel grounded thanks to familiar dishes prepared carefully with fresh ingredients. By noon, the day is flexible and languid; understood as Water. Charcoal-grilled seafood and chilled cocktails enjoyed while sitting barefoot beside the shore at Sea Shack provide the relaxing pace of ocean waves.

Ombra provides for casual, organically developed afternoons.

As the afternoon continues, Wood appears in the form of Ombra, a bright and charming Italian restaurant beside the pool. Then, as the sky begins to transform, Metal emerges at INK 360. Glass catches the last glow of the horizon and falls on the rooftop venue's steel tentacles while creative cocktails are served. When night finally settles, Fire takes place at LAVA, with open flames, volcanic inspiration, and the island’s finest ingredients coming together for bold and layered dishes.

While food is important for any summer vacation, there's far more to it than that. The season can be as splendid as it is brief, sometimes feeling as intransient as a dragonfly resting on a blade of grass. It's therefore important to ensure time is well spent. Thankfully, InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort has many activities for people of all ages.

Parents can have a break while kids have fun learning how to cook.

For children, summer energy gets spent at Planet Trekkers and the Kids Camp, where craft sessions, games, and Kids Can Cook embrace their confidence, curiosity, and delight. In the conical hat painting session, for example, brushstrokes turn the iconic Vietnamese symbol into a personal keepsake that will forever remind them of summer.

For adults, summer is not about spending energy, but restoring it. Opportunities for rejuvenation can be found in a slow stroll along the beach at dawn, or a quiet hour beside the pool, or a botanical walk when guests move beneath shaded canopies and through the resort’s lush gardens at an unhurried pace.

And for those seeking a deeper sense of rest, HARNN Heritage Spa serves as an oasis of serenity. Its treatment pavilions rest above the lagoon, while open spaces and bamboo louvres soften the boundary between indoors and out. Traditional Asian medicine and naturopathy unite here in rituals designed to restore balance between body and mind.

Harnn Heritage Spa is even calmer inside than out.

The cumulative effect of these activities, meals, and experiences is the allure of summer at InterContinental Phu Quoc. Every day has room for laughter, romance, solitude, and healing. Like the dragonfly drifting across gardens and shorelines, the season can be playful, reflective, intimate, and peaceful.

A H'Mông Village on the Hà Giang Loop Offers Unexpected Comfort and Perspective to Travelers

2026-03-23T10:29:00+07:00

A particular pleasure of cruising the Hà Giang Loop comes when the traffic thins out and you can take in an astonishing view that includes verdant mountains and towering limestone peaks above and beside small villages. In one of those villages, Sủng Trái, a new accommodation provides a new way to appreciate these surroundings.

Ha Giang Aya Lodge provides comfortable rooms, awe-inspiring views, and connection with the local community to ensure you have an unforgettable trip to the Loop.

Situated in the center of Sủng Trái, a H'Mông village in what is now Tuyên Quang Province, Ha Giang Aya Lodge is surrounded by everyday life. Local children play along the dirt paths between homes after school while farmers toil in the fields. A jovial atmosphere arrives during the weekly market when different ethnic groups gather from the nearby communities to buy, sell, and gossip. As opposed to locations where activities are staged for tourists, the goings-on reflect humble daily routines.

Such commonplace commotion is reminiscent of what visitors to the Hà Giang Loop would have encountered decades ago.

Comfort that Comes with a View

Ha Giang Aya Lodge’s aims are simple: allow guests to enjoy the authenticity of a real village without having to give up the comforts most travelers desire after a long day on the road. Rooms are designed to keep that balance.

The Loop often asks travelers to trade the nights’ comforts for the days’ views, but Ha Giang Aya Lodge requires no such compromise. Each room is warm in the winter and cool in summer, with proper beds and quiet spaces to rest. Stepping outside foregrounds the grandeur of nature: limestone mountains encircle the valley, sunlight pierces tufts of drifting clouds in the early morning, and clutches of color come attached to wildflowers.

You can best appreciate this view via the main terrace, which overlooks it all. Spending a few moments to place yourself in the immensity of the natural world is an ideal way to balance oneself before returning to a day on the road.

Built with a Connection to the Village

Tourism can descend into exploitation if not done carefully, and Ha Giang Aya Lodge strives to ensure it gives more to local communities than it takes away.

The lodge was developed by Local Vietnam, a travel company that has spent years focusing on lesser-known destinations across the country. The company’s Dutch co-founder, Marnick Schoonderwoerd, has lived in Vietnam for more than a decade and works with Nhung Phùng and Dương Phùng to build a platform centered around local experiences rather than mass tourism routes. The lodge is a natural extension of this mission and provides a physical version of what they’ve been doing online for years.

Most of Ha Giang Aya Lodge’s staff come from Sủng Trái and nearby villages, and tourism has the potential to significantly improve their lives. Because many are new to the industry, they receive on-site training, including English language. The lodge’s team is also involved in teaching at a local school nearby as part of the larger aims to ensure tourism provides long-term benefits.

Such community support and integration might not be directly visible during your stay, but the care is manifested across the warm atmosphere that touches every element of the lodge and its service. Visitors can rest a little better knowing their footprint is a positive one.

A quieter side of the Hà Giang Loop

For many travelers, the Hà Giang Loop is about miles logged and viewpoints achieved. If one isn’t careful, the entire trip becomes a matter of ticking off scenic spots and then rushing ahead. But such an approach means missing places like Sủng Trái and not recognizing the beauty tucked into the journey’s quiet stretches. Ha Giang Aya Lodge is most appreciated by people hoping to avoid the Loop’s busiest sections, as time there offers guests a different perspective which allows them to notice how the rugged landscape, the human communities, and the tourist experiences are all connected.

Whether it’s your first time on the Hà Giang Loop and you want to make sure you do it well, or you’ve already been and want to see it from different angles, Ha Giang Aya Lodge is a great stop to add to your itinerary.

The Year of the Horse Gallops into The Grand Ho Tram

2026-02-02T06:41:00+07:00

Inspired by the spirit of the horse, The Grand Ho Tram encourages you to have a year of success, confidence, and new horizons. Traditional Tết performances and activities alongside special feasts and opportunities for revelry will usher in a year of remarkable achievements and memorable moments.

Tết Traditions Await

Fabulous dancing lions leaping around the lobby, accompanied by jovial characters, is a centuries-old tradition that maintains its appeal today. With impassioned drumming, daring acrobats, and a vibrant atmosphere, the performance will captivate families eager to embrace heritage on a grand scale. Everyone is welcome on February 20th at 7:30 am in the main lobby entrance.

Another indelible, though quieter, Tết activity is calligraphy. At select times of the day from February 17 through the 20, a talented calligrapher will craft beautiful works for guests. Capturing aspirations for good fortune, prosperity, and happiness, the artist will take requests or provide suggestions while introducing people to this cherished art. The large posters are great for gifts or to keep oneself as a reminder of the auspiciousness that waits for us to claim it.

While the lion dance and caligraphy are the most lavish elements of The Grand Ho Tram's Tết celebrations, from the 18th through the 20th, countless activities and ways to celebrate will be available for guests of all ages. A apricot tree lucky draw, a matching game, archery game, can knockdown game, zigzag ball drop, ball toss game, watermelon eating contest, and more will not only fill the holiday hours, but leave participants with timeless memories. This is in addition to the incredible selection of games, and hobbies The Grand Ho Tram is known for.

Indulgent Feasts Fit for a Holiday

Food lies at the center of any holiday, a tradition that The Grand Ho Tram upholds with a variety of excellent meals during the Tết season. A delightful set meal boasting many traditional dishes from across Vietnam will be available from February 16th through the 22nd at Lemongrass, Ginger, and Sea Salt outlets. Symbolizing abundance, unity, and sweet years ahead, the meal offers the slow-cooked pleasures of the holiday with great ease and comfort, allowing guests to truly feel on holiday.

While Vietnam celebrates Tết, many other Asian cultures have their own traditions for celebrating the arrival of the new lunar year. Chinese traditions, particularly, center around special dishes which will be served at Ju Bao Xuan from the 16th through the 22nd. Kung Hei Fat Choi claypot, a flavorful, slow-cooked specialty, will be joined by Yee Sang, a raw fish salad tossed with vegetables and sauces. It's a great way to travel outside the nation for the holiday without needing to venture beyond the resort.

In addition to these particularly unique dining experiences, guests who visit The Grand Ho Tram during the holidays will also be treated with seasonal family hot pot buffets and a dinner buffet that rotates from local to foreign dishes. In addition to traditional Vietnamese Tết fare, roasted Australian Beef and local seafood salad will rest on plates like bountiful asterisks marking the meal as an event.

The Holidays Extend Long into the Night

While the meals may have ended and the traditional activities ceased for the day, that doesn't mean the energy is paused. Rather, The Grand Ho Tram's reputation for sizzling nightlife and exciting performances thrives during the holiday season. Live band performances will rock the Fuel Sports bar in the Holiday Inn Resort Tower, while Djs and dancers hit the stage at 9 pm at the Roxy Night Club in the Intercontinental Tower until 1 in the morning.

These uptempo affairs add adrenaline to any stay, allowing the festive vibes to reverberate. Such excitement thus warrants a visit to the spa. Nothing says new year like the fresh glow that accompanies indulgent treatments.

Much like the wide range of entertainment and culinary offerings that allow guests to celebrate Tết how it best fits their style and needs, The Grand Ho Tram has numerous accommodations for a variety of stays. The InterContinental Grand Ho Tram provides sophisticated experiences, and Holiday Inn Resort Ho Tram Beach is more comfortable and energetic, while Ixora Ho Tram by Fusion are ideal for couples, groups of friends, or families traveling that priortize peace and privacy close to nature. There truly is no wrong way to welcome the year of the horse by the sea.

The Quiet Architecture of Flavor: Bắc Kim Thang and the Art of Vietnamese Steam

2026-01-06T14:21:00+07:00

In a city where Vietnamese cuisine is often associated with noise, speed, and abundance, Bắc Kim Thang offers an alternative. This is a restaurant brand built on patience and the quiet power of steam. It reflects the belief that Vietnamese food, when treated with respect, can speak softly yet leave a lasting echo.

Bắc Kim Thang takes its name from the familiar folk rhyme that accompanied childhood games and communal laughter. That memory becomes a philosophical foundation for food as a shared ritual and cultural inheritance. Here, steaming is not merely a cooking method but a worldview. It preserves clarity, honors original flavors while reflecting an ancient Vietnamese understanding of balance between body, nature, and time.

At the heart of Bắc Kim Thang is a devotion to Vietnamese ingredients in their most honest form. Seafood, meats, vegetables, and herbs are gently lifted by heat and water, never drowned in oil or masked by excessive seasoning. The result is cuisine that feels light yet profound, refined yet deeply rooted. Diners encounter them, layer by layer.

Each Bắc Kim Thang restaurant is designed as a cultural narrative rather than a replicated template. Architectural elements, materials, and spatial flow shift from location to location, drawing inspiration from different layers of Vietnamese life, including river culture, village courtyards, traditional kitchens, and urban modernity. The result is a calm atmosphere where design frames the food instead of competing with it.

This philosophy reaches its most ambitious expression at Bắc Kim Thang Premium, the first Vietnamese premium steaming restaurant concept in the country, located at Saigon Marina IFC. Positioned within a global financial and lifestyle district, the restaurant presents Vietnamese cuisine not as nostalgia, but as contemporary confidence. The restrained space allows steam, aroma, and silence to become part of the dining language.

Innovation at Bắc Kim Thang never seeks to reinvent Vietnamese food for novelty’s sake. Instead, creativity lives in precision: rethinking temperature, timing, layering, and presentation while safeguarding original taste memories. A dish may arrive elegantly composed, but remains unmistakably Vietnamese. This balance between innovation and preservation is what defines the brand’s culinary identity.

Bắc Kim Thang invites guests to slow down, to listen, to feel. In doing so, it offers a rare proposition in modern dining: Vietnamese cuisine elevated by restraint and confidence in its own cultural depth. Through steam, space, and storytelling, Bắc Kim Thang opens a new chapter for Vietnamese food that is premium because it stands firmly within tradition

For international guests and local patrons alike, the journey at Bắc Kim Thang feels intimate, meditative, and quietly transformative, reminding them that true luxury in Vietnamese dining emerges when heritage is protected, creativity is disciplined, and flavor is allowed to breathe naturally.

Vietnamese Home Cooking Finds a New Voice at Viet Kitchen

2025-12-31T09:59:15+07:00

“A fine home-cooked dinner can light up even the worst day,” Chef Trung says casually, his hands busy stirring a pot of bần fermented soybean paste destined for a dish of Củ Chi young beef. It’s not a rehearsed line, but reflective of a belief formed over years spent cooking meals meant to comfort rather than impress.

Chef Trung.

Nearly a year into his role at Viet Kitchen, Chef Trung has been quietly reshaping the restaurant’s culinary direction. For more than 25 years, Viet Kitchen has been known primarily as an international buffet destination; a reliable, crowd-pleasing staple for hotel diners. Today, however, it’s entering its first phase of transformation, slowly repositioning itself as a place that celebrates Vietnamese flavors and local ingredients via a more thoughtful, contemporary lens.

Chef Trung’s culinary roots lie firmly in Northern Vietnamese cuisine, where restraint, balance, and depth of flavor take precedence over bold embellishment. With 13 years of experience in professional kitchens since 2012, he has developed a deep respect for traditional techniques while remaining curious about how modern methods can elevate them. His approach isn’t about reinvention for the sake of novelty, but about understanding each ingredient, where it comes from, how it behaves, and what it contributes to the final dish.

Chef Trung's philosophy is most evident in his signature creations. Dishes like bún ốc and eel wrapped in banana leaf with Hưng Yên fermented soybean sauce are built on careful study of classic Northern recipes. Each component is adjusted with intention in order to establish harmony. “The challenge,” he notes, “is keeping the soul of the dish intact while allowing it to evolve.”

Chef Trung's bánh mì (left) and Củ Chi young beef (right).

This sensitivity to ingredients and heritage recently earned Chef Trung recognition as the winner of Marriott International Vietnam’s Ngon Master Challenge. Centered on sustainability and the use of local produce, the competition highlighted his ability to elevate everyday Vietnamese meals into refined yet deeply familiar experiences. For him, the accolade was less about prestige and more about validation — proof that humble, home-style cooking still resonates.

Chef Trung's Củ Chi young beef is a great example of his aesthetic. Traditionally enjoyed as a casual drinking dish, Chef Trung reimagines it by pairing rich Bần fermented soybean paste (tương bần) with cape gooseberry (trái thù lù), using gentle acidity to balance sweetness and enhance depth. The result feels both nostalgic and surprising. Without distracting, it is a dish that invites conversation.

A refined take on familiar codfish.

Looking ahead, Chef Trung is currently developing a new menu for Viet Kitchen, with a clear vision in mind to transform the space into a gathering hub where people come to sip, savor, and connect over Vietnamese food that feels honest, thoughtful, and deeply rooted. In his kitchen, tradition is alive, adaptable, and always meant to be shared.

Festive Season Sprinkles Magic Throughout Hotel Indigo Saigon The City

2025-12-08T09:16:00+07:00

The festive season arrives in local style at Hotel Indigo Saigon The City.

From a quaint area reminiscent of Saigon's alleyway culture, where folks on plastic stools sipping coffee out of glasses with colorful polka dots, to rooms paying homage to wicker cabinets and ceramic tiling traditionally found in local residences and a restaurant that borrows design motifs from the nearby historic shipping yard, Hotel Indigo Saigon The City draws inspiration from the idiosyncrasies of its namesake location. A healthy dose of seasonal charm is being added this month, as evidenced by the Christmas tree standing beside the vintage luggage at the lobby.

A variety of food and dining, celebration, and inclusive promotions are now underway to prove that even in a tropical climate, there is room to feel festive. To make a big impression in its first year as a hotel, Hotel Indigo Saigon The City is providing reasons to visit for locals and tourists alike.

On the 24th and 25th, Saigon Jingling, a four-course meal, brings a special Saigon twist to seasonal favorites.

From One Restaurant to a Cultural Symbol: Danh Trần and the Evolution of Quán Bụi Group

2025-11-28T11:03:00+07:00

On the soft opening of Quán Bụi Group Complex on Võ Trường Toản Street, Thủ Đức City, founder Danh Trần sits down with Saigoneer to reflect on his journey from a single Vietnamese eatery to a multi-concept restaurant group. With nine Quán Bụi restaurants, two Laang Saigon venues, two Sticky Rice Thai eateries, and five Café’In coffee shops, he shares what it takes to stay authentic while evolving with Saigon’s ever-changing culinary landscape.

The newly launched Quán Bụi Complex in Võ Trường Toản Street, Thủ Đức City.

Saigoneer: Over the years, Quán Bụi has grown into something larger than a restaurant, a reflection of Saigon’s cultural soul. Did you envision it that way from the very beginning?

Danh Trần: To be honest, I never set out to build just a restaurant. I wanted to create something that could carry and preserve a part of our culture. Through Quán Bụi, I wanted to express my own image of Saigon, or perhaps Vietnam, a place where tradition, nostalgia, and hospitality come together. A restaurant can serve food, but a cultural space tells stories. That’s why from the very beginning, I tried to weave those stories into every detail, the décor, the food, and the people.

What kind of image of Vietnamese culture do you want to present to international diners who visit Quán Bụi?

When foreigners dine with us, I want them to feel they’re tasting more than just Vietnamese food. I want them to experience our sense of community, our warmth, and our way of sharing. That’s why I tell my team, we may not be able to do everything, but what we can do, we must do well. Our strength is in food, and through food, we can tell stories about Vietnamese culture.

We even created our own Quán Bụi Journal, an in-house magazine we produce entirely ourselves. It’s like a cultural diary of Quán Bụi, full of stories about our dishes, our people, and Vietnamese dining traditions. We’ve published eight issues so far, and the ninth is on the way. Guests often take it home with them, they flip through it later and remember that meal, that atmosphere. It’s our way of extending the dining experience beyond the table.

You’ve built an impressive portfolio: nine Quán Bụi restaurants, two Laang, two Sticky Rice, and five Café’In. Managing multiple brands can be complex. What’s your secret to maintaining consistency and quality across all of them?

It always comes down to people. I’ve been very lucky to have a loyal and dedicated core team; what I call my key people. Some have been with me since the very beginning. Even during the toughest times, like the pandemic, they stayed. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come from strict rules, it comes from shared belief and respect.

I lead with discipline, but also with empathy. I’m straightforward, but I also try to create a comfortable working environment. The key is balance, “lạt mềm buộc chặt,” soft power binds strongly. You build trust by giving space, but also by setting clear expectations.

What about customer loyalty? How do you maintain such strong relationships with your guests?

The customer always comes first. Whenever an issue arises, big or small, I tell my team, resolve it immediately, resolve it properly. Whether a review is positive or negative, we always respond. When a guest takes the time to share feedback, that’s already a gift. If you ignore it, that dissatisfaction can grow quietly until it’s too late.

We also have very strict quality control. Cleanliness, for example, is non-negotiable. Every night, I personally check that our kitchens and bars are deep-cleaned. I still do that, hands-on, because I believe a clean kitchen reflects respect for both the craft and the customer. If the kitchen isn’t right, the food can’t be right.

Sticky rice dishes.

Beyond the people and structure, what would you say is the soul of Quán Bụi?

It’s the emotion behind every dish. We don’t aim to make “wow” food, we aim to make food that feels right.

Take our crispy chicken with snakehead fish cake (gà giòn chả cá thác lác). It’s been with us since the early days. We use smoked chicken skin, spread it with a layer of fish paste, then top it with a tangy-spicy sauce inspired by Thai flavors, mixed with shallots and coriander. It’s comforting yet surprising, something you can enjoy with rice or over drinks.

It’s not fancy, but it’s ours. It captures exactly what Quán Bụi stands for: familiar flavors, elevated with care and creativity.

Café’In.

The restaurant scene in Vietnam is becoming increasingly competitive, with many international awards entering the market. How do you stay calm and focused amid this wave of recognition and competition?

It’s natural to feel the pressure when awards like Michelin arrive; everyone starts comparing and speculating. But I’ve learned to stay grounded. There are thousands of restaurants in Saigon, and only a few can ever make it into those lists. Competing on that level is already a challenge in itself.

That said, credible awards bring visibility and prestige, and that’s good for the industry. They push us to improve. But I also understand the system, Michelin, for example, tends to focus on two extremes: fine dining or street food. Quán Bụi sits somewhere in between, casual yet refined, which doesn’t easily fit into their framework.

So instead of chasing for validation, I focus even more on delivering the best product possible. Maybe the dish isn’t everyone’s taste, but it will always be clean, honest, and worth what the guest pays for. That’s our philosophy.
If one day we make it into an award list, great. If not, we’ll still keep doing what we do, serving good food that represents Vietnam with integrity, and always be ready to conquer any awards.

Quán Bụi aims to combine tradition, nostalgia, and hospitality.

Have you ever thought about franchising Quán Bụi overseas?

Yes, it’s something we’ve been exploring carefully. Many overseas Vietnamese communities, from Australia to the U.S., have reached out about bringing Quán Bụi abroad. But I’m cautious. Vietnamese food deserves to be represented with authenticity and consistency, not just replicated.

If we expand overseas, it must be done with the same heart and attention to detail we have here, from the ingredients and recipes to the atmosphere and hospitality. I don’t want to open restaurants for the sake of expansion; I want to bring a true Saigon dining experience to the world.

It will happen, but step by step, when we’re ready to do it right.

Running a restaurant is never simple. What advice would you give to young entrepreneurs who want to enter this field?

First, customers. You need to understand who you are serving before anything else: their habits, preferences, and what convenience means to them. Only when you know your customer can you design the right experience.

Second, location. You may have great food, but if the address doesn’t align with your target segment or their movement patterns, it will be an uphill battle. A strong concept needs to meet guests where they already are.

Third, people. I’m grateful to have a loyal core team, many of whom have stood by me through major challenges, including the pandemic. Managing people is the hardest part of this business. Skills can be trained, but loyalty must be earned through consistency, respect, and a shared vision.

That, to me, is the foundation of everything.

With Quán Bụi Group Complex was launched earlier this month, how would you see this next chapter for the brand?

This project is special because it brings all our concepts together for the first time: Vietnamese cuisine with Quán Bụi, Thai food with Sticky Rice, and coffee culture through Café’In. Each space tells a different story, but together they form one narrative, a modern Saigon experience rooted in tradition.

For me, the Complex is not just about growth, but about identity. It’s proof that a Vietnamese brand can evolve, diversify, and still stay true to its cultural roots.

At the end of the day, that’s what I want Quán Bụi to be remembered for, not just as a restaurant, but as a piece of Saigon’s living culture.

Magical Holidays by the Sea: A Season of Warmth at InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort

2025-11-25T09:16:00+07:00

There are no carols carried on the wind here, only the hush of waves and the perfume of saltwater.

December on Phú Quốc arrives without hurry, bathed in warmth and quiet light. The festive season unfolds beneath a sky brushed with gold, while InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort transforms celebration into something slower, more graceful, and deeply attuned to the rhythm of the tropics.

The first evening of the season feels almost cinematic. In the lobby, a Christmas tree shimmers in coral tones and oceanic gold, catching the light as children’s voices rise in song. Melodies from the children’s choir drift through the air, weaving into laughter, the delicate chime of crystals, and the quiet pulse of the sea beyond. For a moment, time seems to hold its breath and everyone with it.

Morning opens gently. At Sora & Umi, coffee mingles with the ocean breeze, and sunlight stretches lazily across the tables. Parents lean in comfortably, speaking softly; a child’s laughter cuts through the stillness like a note of joy. The sea lies still, shimmering with a kind of knowing calm, as if aware that beauty, too, needs silence to bloom.

By noon, warmth fills the resort like a living rhythm. From Mercado, the scent of cinnamon and ginger spills into the air, carrying a trace of nostalgia. Children run barefoot on the sand, leaving little trails that the waves tenderly erase. In the lobby, handwritten letters to Santa, messy yet hopeful and sincere, fill the letter box with dreams. Adults slow down, surrendering to the gentle pace of the island. Some rest by the pool, book in hand. Others seek refuge in HARNN Heritage Spa, where lemongrass and ginger breathe calm into the skin and stillness is a form of grace.

Then twilight, the hour when the island seems to exhale, arrives. Bonfires spark along the beach, dancers move with the rhythm of drums, and the sea glows as though lit from within. Guests gather, their faces illuminated by firelight. The night becomes a hymn of movement and warmth, a communion between flame and ocean, between strangers turned companions beneath the stars.

The most heartwarming and eagerly awaited moment of the holidays comes on December 24, when families gather by the Oasis Pool. Children with bright eyes and restless excitement hold tightly to their parents’ hands as anticipation fills the air. Then, as if stepping out of a dream, Mr and Mrs. Claus arrive across the sand in their familiar crimson suits, smiling with warmth and joy. They bend to greet each child, lifting them gently, arms filled with gifts for the island’s little dreamers. In that moment, magic feels utterly real.

At LAVA, dinner is art made edible. Candlelight ripples across coral-inspired walls, and each dish arrives like a delicate love letter to the sea. The chefs work quietly, almost reverently, creating flavors that speak of memory, salt, and flame. The world narrows to a table, a shared glance, a moment suspended.

On December 31, the garden transforms into a shimmering landscape of light, welcoming the Tropical Grandeur New Year’s Eve Gala. Beneath the open sky, a lavish buffet of seafood, flame-grilled meats, and exquisite desserts is laid out with care, surrounded by music, artful performances, and applause that rises like the tide. Glasses are refilled, laughter circles the tables, and the night glows with an easy warmth, as if the entire island were holding its breath in celebration.

When the festivities drift upward to INK 360, Phu Quoc’s highest rooftop bar, the rhythm continues between sea and stars. Then the first spark bursts open across the sky, followed by a cascade of colour. Fireworks bloom above the sea, brilliant and fleeting, reflecting in every gaze. In that luminous instant, as one year slips gently into the next, the world feels both magnificent and still. The entire experience is a beauty that glows, then lingers quietly in the heart.

As the colors fade and the night yields to a tender hush, the island becomes quiet. The waves reclaim their beat, carrying whispers of the celebration into the dark. Soon, dawn arrives softly, brushing the sea in strokes of gold. The beach stirs once more, calm and unhurried. Guests cycle leisurely along the resort’s winding paths, basking in the gentle warmth of sunlight as it glazes their skin like honey. Children chase kites into the wind, their laughter mingling with the hush of the tide. The joy lingers, but softer now, already tucked deep into memory.

Every festive season at InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort is a story of the heart written in salt and sunlight, held in the warmth of shared moments. The resort’s starfish silhouette is more than a symbol; it is a promise that whoever arrives here will leave with a part of the island still glowing within them, golden as the sea itself.
