A good trip to Inle lake, one of the most beautiful destinations in Myanmar, with a boat trip to see some floating villages. There was also a cave, near by, to visit.

Famous for its famous waterfall, next to the city of Kanchanaburi, not that far from Myanmar.
The Halong Bay by land... 2 hours south of Hanoi. Really worth it. Even better than the famous Halong Bay to me, because way less touristic.
