Vietnam Insider

After years of construction, Vietnam’s largest airport project is entering its final stretch. Long Thanh International Airport, designed to become one of Southeast Asia’s major aviation hubs, is expected to begin commercial operations in December following a series of trial runs starting in September.

For travelers flying to Vietnam in the coming years, Long Thanh could become the country’s new front door.

Located about 40 kilometers east of Ho Chi Minh City, the airport is being built to ease pressure on the increasingly congested Tan Son Nhat International Airport, which currently serves as southern Vietnam’s primary aviation gateway.

Project developer Airports Corporation of Vietnam announced that testing of airport systems and equipment will take place in three phases between September and November, with commercial operations expected to begin in December if the schedule remains on track.

Entering the Final Phase

According to project officials, the airport has now reached nearly 76 percent completion, with several critical components already finished.

The first runway and aircraft apron have been completed, while fuel infrastructure, terminal aprons, and transport connections are all approaching the finish line. Construction teams are now focused on the airport’s passenger terminal, where interior finishing work and equipment installation are underway.

The project is entering what officials describe as its most demanding stage, where success depends less on heavy construction and more on coordinating thousands of systems, safety checks, and operational testing.

To keep the project on schedule, contractors plan to expand the workforce to more than 9,000 workers and continue round the clock construction operations.

Why Long Thanh Matters

Long Thanh is far more than another airport expansion project.

The development is widely viewed as one of Vietnam’s most important infrastructure investments, reflecting the country’s ambitions to become a major transportation and logistics hub in Southeast Asia.

Passenger traffic in Vietnam has grown rapidly over the past decade, fueled by tourism, foreign investment, and the emergence of the country as a manufacturing powerhouse. Existing airports, particularly Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City, have struggled to keep pace with demand.

Once operational, Long Thanh is expected to play a central role in supporting future growth while improving international connectivity for both business and leisure travelers.

A New Gateway for Southern Vietnam

For international visitors, the airport could eventually transform how they arrive in Vietnam.

Rather than relying solely on Tan Son Nhat’s heavily congested facilities, travelers heading to Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam’s southern economic region will have access to a modern airport designed with significantly greater long term capacity.

The first phase will mark only the beginning of a much larger vision. When fully completed in the coming decades, Long Thanh is expected to rank among the largest airport developments in Asia, reinforcing Vietnam’s position as one of the region’s fastest growing aviation markets.

Countdown to Takeoff

The next few months will be crucial.

September’s trial operations will test everything from airport systems and equipment to operational readiness. If those exercises proceed as planned, Vietnam could welcome its first passengers through Long Thanh before the end of the year.

For a project that has been discussed for more than a decade, that moment would represent more than the opening of a new airport. It would mark the arrival of a new era for Vietnamese aviation.

No longer a budget destination lagging behind Thailand or Bali, Vietnam is attracting Australians thanks to its blend of mid-range quality services and the vibrant cultural identity of its younger generation.

Georgia Quinn visited Vietnam 15 years ago. At the time, she observed that Vietnam was not as popular a destination as Thailand or Bali.

Currently, many of Quinn’s friends and relatives say they have traveled to Vietnam or are planning to visit. Last month, Quinn returned to Vietnam, visiting Da Nang. She compared Da Nang to Gold Coast – a modern and attractive coastal city located in Queensland, eastern Australia.

Quinn said she met many fellow Vietnamese during her two-week vacation in Vietnam. “It’s no surprise that people realize this is a wonderful place,” Quinn said.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that 10 years ago, Vietnam was the 5th most popular destination in Southeast Asia for Australians. By 2024, Vietnam is projected to become the third most visited country in the region, surpassing Singapore and Malaysia. The number of Australians returning from short trips to Vietnam is expected to increase from 246,000 in 2016 to 528,000 in 2026.

The number of passengers flying to Vietnam via Jetstar increased by more than 30% compared to 2023, and the number of flights operated by the airline also increased by 15%. The Expedia platform recorded continuous growth in searches for accommodation in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Phu Quoc during the 2025-2026 period.

“I’m seeing more and more Australians coming to Vietnam,” said Dr. Truc Le, a lecturer in marketing and tourism at Griffith University. She believes this trend stems from the compatibility between the needs of Australian tourists and Vietnam’s tourism products.

Amidst rising living costs, travelers tend to choose nearby destinations rather than long journeys to Paris (France) or Venice (Italy). Australian tourists are interested in the price-to-quality ratio. In Vietnam, travelers can access high-end services at mid-range prices.

Mandy Lan, 25, an event coordinator, said she chose Vietnam because of its reasonable cost. For a two-week trip at the end of 2025, Lan spent $1,500 (excluding airfare) on services including meals at Michelin-starred restaurants and a $250 custom-made outfit. For a full-package vacation with her boyfriend, Lan budgeted $6,000.

Dr. Truc Le, a lecturer at Griffith University, said that Australian tourists tend to seek authentic experiences, destinations that aren’t too crowded, and affordable options.

For Quinn, Ho Chi Minh City is a vibrant metropolis, making it easy for tourists to immerse themselves in the atmosphere. When visiting Vietnam, she often goes to fashion boutiques of local designers with a Y2K style (a cultural and fashion trend from the late 1990s and early 2000s).

Dang Duong, co-founder of Old Compass Travel, believes the Y2K trend stems from Vietnam’s young population, with an average age of 33. According to Dr. Truc Le, the younger generation is changing the way Vietnamese cultural identity is expressed through a blend of tradition and regional diversity.

The two co-founders of Urbanist Travel, Chau Nguyen and Brian Letwin, point out that there is currently an influx of Millennials (1981-1996) and Gen Z (1997-2012) returning to Vietnam to establish their own businesses. They are applying the knowledge they learned abroad to create new things in the tourism service industry.

Linh Phan, founder of Hidden Saigon Travel, said that many second-generation Vietnamese who studied abroad have returned to Vietnam to take over and change the way their family restaurants are run. This trend has created a breakthrough in the culinary, fashion, and music sectors at the destination.

According to Letwin, the cultural shift is attracting tourists. Linh Phan never thought she would see foreigners in local cafes, but now these destinations are “always packed with international visitors.”

Dr. Truc Le noted that Australians are interested in the dynamism of Vietnam’s indigenous culture. Vietnam can learn from the tourism overload in Bali (Indonesia) to better manage and develop its tourism industry. However, Linh Phan believes that popular tourist destinations in her homeland always know who their real customers are.

“Tourists come and go, but the locals are the long-term customers,” Linh Phan said.

Vietnamese Americans have the highest poverty rate among minority groups in Orange County, with incomes less than half that of white Americans, according to new research.

Statistics released in late May by the Association for Asian American Justice in Southern California (AJSOCAL) show that there are currently 815,000 people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent living in Orange County, California, accounting for 26% of the county’s population.

The Asian population in Orange County increased by 33% between 2010 and 2020, with Vietnamese Americans being the largest group, numbering over 241,000.

However, the income of Vietnamese Americans is among the lowest, only higher than that of Cambodian and Latino Americans. The average annual income of a Vietnamese American in Orange County is $32,000, less than half that of a white American.

Vietnamese Americans also have the highest poverty rate among minority ethnic groups in Orange County, at 14%, according to Dr. June Lim, who directs the new Demographic Research Project. This research is part of the Community of Contrasts, an AJSOCAL data project that analyzes demographic, economic, and social trends and needs within the Asian American community.

The next highest poverty rates in Orange County are Chinese Americans at 13%, Korean Americans at 12%, and Cambodian Americans at 12%.

In California, the federal poverty line for 2026, as announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is $15,960 per year for a single person and $33,000 for a four-person household. However, this figure does not fully reflect the cost of living in Orange County.

According to fiscal year 2026 data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Santa Ana, Anaheim, Irvine, CA HUD Metro FMR Area, which is the HUD area for Orange County, has a median household income of $138,600.

Here, a person earning $39,100 a year still falls into the “extremely low income” category, $65,150 into the “very low income” category, and $104,200 into the “low income” category when HUD considers housing assistance. For a four-person household, the corresponding thresholds are $55,850, $93,050, and $148,850.

Economic pressure on the poor in Orange County has increased significantly as rental prices have risen sharply in recent years. Rent across the county has increased by 19%, while rents in Orange County cities like Westminster and Irvine have risen by 20-25%.

Regarding language, the survey revealed that approximately 33% of Asian Americans in Orange County have limited English proficiency. The need for language support therefore varies across communities, ranging from around 30% for Chinese and Cambodian Americans to nearly 50% for Vietnamese and Korean Americans.

According to Dr. Lim, language barriers affect many areas, from elections and political participation to healthcare, and force many people to rely on friends and relatives to translate necessary procedures.

In Orange County, the Vietnamese community is concentrated in the Little Saigon area, which is associated with the cities of Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Fountain Valley.

This is the largest Vietnamese community outside of Vietnam, with a network of commercial establishments, services, markets, and restaurants. However, data on poverty rates and income published by AJSOCAL shows that the development of this area is accompanied by significant economic pressures on people of Vietnamese origin.

For the first time, Vietnam’s top leader opened Asia’s most influential security forum. Analysts say the moment reflects a broader shift: Vietnam is no longer just adapting to regional dynamics. It increasingly wants to help shape them.

When leaders, defense ministers, and security experts gathered in Singapore for the 2026 Shangri-La Dialogue, one detail stood out.

The opening address was delivered by Vietnamese leader To Lam, marking the first time Vietnam’s highest ranking leader has opened Asia’s premier security forum. The event brought together around 500 delegates from more than 40 countries, making it one of the region’s most important annual gatherings on defense and strategic affairs.

For many observers, the speech was about more than diplomacy. It was a sign of Vietnam’s growing confidence on the international stage.

A More Confident Vietnam

According to regional analysts, Vietnam is increasingly positioning itself as a country that can contribute ideas, build consensus, and help shape discussions about regional security rather than simply respond to them.

Hunter Marston of Australia’s Lowy Institute described the speech as evidence of Vietnam’s ambition to act as a proactive middle power with a clearer vision for the region’s future.

The timing is significant.

The Indo Pacific is facing growing strategic competition between the United States and China, while countries across Southeast Asia are trying to maintain economic growth, political stability, and foreign policy independence in an increasingly uncertain world.

Against that backdrop, Vietnam’s message was straightforward: smaller and medium sized countries should not be forced to choose sides, and regional stability depends on cooperation rather than confrontation.

Security Starts With Development

One of the most notable themes of the speech was Vietnam’s argument that security and economic development cannot be separated.

Rather than focusing exclusively on military competition, Vietnam warned that many of today’s challenges stem from interconnected crises involving the international order, economic development models, and declining strategic trust between nations.

That perspective reflects a long standing Vietnamese priority.

For Hanoi, sustained economic growth and improving living standards are not simply development goals. They are viewed as essential foundations of national security and social stability.

The message is likely to resonate across Southeast Asia, where many governments remain more focused on development and economic resilience than on joining geopolitical rivalries.

Avoiding a New Cold War in Southeast Asia

Another key theme was Vietnam’s support for a regional order that remains open, inclusive, and centered on Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Vietnam reiterated that Southeast Asia should not become an arena for great power competition. Instead, it called for what officials described as responsible engagement from major powers while preserving the region’s strategic autonomy.

Analysts note that this reflects Vietnam’s broader foreign policy approach.

Vietnam has developed strong relationships with both Washington and Beijing while carefully avoiding alignment with either side. Maintaining that balance has become increasingly important as tensions between the world’s two largest powers continue to shape the regional landscape.

The Most Interesting Idea: “Diplomatic Exit Ramps”

Perhaps the most distinctive proposal from Vietnam was its call for stronger preventive diplomacy.

Rather than waiting for disputes to escalate into crises, Vietnam advocated creating more channels for dialogue among governments, defense institutions, maritime agencies, businesses, and academic communities. The goal is to establish mechanisms that help countries manage tensions before they become conflicts.

Marston described the idea of creating diplomatic “exit ramps” as one of the speech’s most innovative concepts, arguing that it reflects a more creative approach to conflict prevention and regional resilience.

The proposal also aligns with Vietnam’s efforts to build a reputation as a trusted diplomatic intermediary. Analysts pointed to Hanoi’s role in hosting the 2019 summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un as an example of the country’s growing ability to facilitate dialogue between competing parties.

More Than a Speech

The significance of Vietnam’s appearance at Shangri-La may ultimately have less to do with any single policy proposal and more to do with what it signals about the country’s evolving role in Asia.

As geopolitical tensions rise and regional powers search for ways to avoid being caught between competing blocs, Vietnam increasingly sees itself not only as a participant in regional affairs but as a country capable of helping shape the conversation.

For a nation that spent decades focused primarily on integration and development, that represents a notable shift in both ambition and international standing.

Found growing wild in gardens, rice fields, and roadside patches across Vietnam, gotu kola is one of the country’s most popular herbal drinks. Long valued in traditional medicine, the humble leaf is now attracting scientific interest for its potential benefits for skin health, sleep quality, and inflammation.

On a hot afternoon in Vietnam, there’s a good chance you’ll spot someone sipping a glass of rau má, or gotu kola juice.

The bright green drink is a summer staple, prized for its cooling taste and reputation as a natural remedy for everything from heat exhaustion to skin problems. While many Vietnamese grow the plant at home or gather it from gardens and fields, interest in gotu kola has expanded far beyond Southeast Asia in recent years as researchers continue to study its bioactive compounds.

Can Gotu Kola Really Protect Your Skin?

One reason gotu kola has become a popular ingredient in skincare products is its rich concentration of compounds known as triterpenoids, including asiaticoside and madecassoside.

Research suggests these compounds may help support collagen production and assist the skin’s natural repair processes. The plant also contains antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress, one of the factors associated with skin aging.

Some studies have found that these antioxidants may help reduce cellular damage caused by UV exposure. However, experts stress that drinking gotu kola juice is not a substitute for sunscreen. At best, it may offer supportive benefits as part of a broader skincare routine.

A Traditional Remedy for Stress and Sleep

Beyond skincare, gotu kola has long been used in traditional Asian medicine as a calming herb.

Some evidence suggests that compounds in the plant may help support relaxation and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. In Vietnam, it is often consumed in the afternoon or evening by people looking for a natural way to unwind after a long day.

While researchers are still studying its effects, gotu kola’s reputation as a gentle, calming herbal remedy remains one of the reasons for its enduring popularity.

Potential Benefits for Joints and Recovery

Gotu kola also contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, along with naturally occurring anti inflammatory compounds.

These properties have led researchers to investigate its role in supporting connective tissue health and recovery. Although it should not be viewed as a treatment for joint conditions, some studies suggest it may help support overall musculoskeletal health when combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

More Than Just a Summer Drink

For many Vietnamese, the appeal of gotu kola extends beyond any single health claim.

The herb has traditionally been associated with cooling the body during hot weather, supporting circulation, and helping the skin recover from minor irritation. Modern research is still catching up with many of these traditional uses, but its popularity has remained remarkably consistent.

Don’t Overdo It

Like many herbal products, more is not always better.

Health experts generally recommend consuming gotu kola in moderation. Excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort in some people, while individuals with certain medical conditions, including liver disease, or those taking medication should consult a healthcare professional before using it regularly. Pregnant women should also seek medical advice before adding it to their routine.

In a country filled with trendy wellness products and imported superfoods, gotu kola remains refreshingly simple. It is inexpensive, widely available, and deeply rooted in everyday Vietnamese life. Whether enjoyed for its potential health benefits or simply as a refreshing drink on a humid afternoon, it continues to hold a special place in Vietnam’s food culture.

A packed riverfront, a surprise Vietnamese soundtrack from the Chinese team, and one of the most ambitious stage productions the city has ever attempted. Da Nang’s International Fireworks Festival is back, and it opened in style.

More than 10,000 people filled the grandstands along the Han River on Friday night as the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2026 officially got underway, kicking off six weeks of competition, entertainment, and summer tourism in one of Vietnam’s most popular coastal destinations.

For many visitors, the opening night offered a glimpse of how far the event has evolved. What began nearly two decades ago as a local fireworks competition has grown into one of Vietnam’s signature summer attractions, drawing both domestic and international travelers to the central coast.

This year’s festival theme, “Connected Horizons,” reflects Da Nang’s efforts to position itself as a city where tourism, culture, and international exchange meet. The 2026 edition will run until July 11, with six competition nights featuring teams from around the world.

The Home Team Brings the Emotion

The first team to take the stage was Da Nang.

Rather than relying solely on technical effects, the host team built its performance around a story of nature, environmental protection, and Vietnam’s changing relationship with the natural world. Waves of color swept across the skyline before giving way to quieter, more reflective moments, creating a display that many spectators described as one of the city’s strongest performances in recent years.

Against the backdrop of the Han River, the show felt distinctly Vietnamese, blending spectacle with a message about sustainability and the future.

China Steals the Spotlight With a Surprise Tribute

If Da Nang won over the crowd emotionally, defending champion China impressed with precision.

Its performance, titled Flower of the Orient, turned the night sky into a carefully choreographed display of light and music. Known for its technical expertise, the Chinese team delivered a series of synchronized effects that showcased why it remains one of the most respected competitors in the festival.

But the biggest surprise came when the Vietnamese song Vietnam Tinh Hoa echoed across the river during the performance.

The choice instantly connected with the audience, drawing cheers from thousands of spectators and becoming one of the most talked about moments of the evening.

More Than Just Fireworks

What increasingly sets DIFF apart from other fireworks festivals is that the pyrotechnics are only part of the experience.

This year, organizers unveiled the largest stage production in the festival’s history, featuring a giant mechanical dome, large scale laser systems, 3D visual effects, and multi layer LED displays. Throughout the evening, leading Vietnamese performers including Ho Ngoc Ha, Ha Nhi, Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, and Hoang Hai kept the energy high between the competing fireworks shows.

Visitors can also experiment with new AI-powered features through the Sun Paradise Land app, which allows users to turn their festival photos into personalized digital postcards and vintage-style keepsakes.

A Festival That Keeps Growing

The packed grandstands and crowded riverfront were a reminder that DIFF has become much more than a fireworks competition. For Da Nang, it has evolved into a showcase of the city’s tourism ambitions and a key event on Vietnam’s summer calendar.

If the opening night is any indication, visitors arriving in the coming weeks can expect more than fireworks. They can expect one of the country’s biggest outdoor celebrations, set against the backdrop of a city increasingly determined to make its mark on the international tourism map.

On May 30, 2026, the Thai-language website skytimeonline.com published an article titled “Leaked Documents Claim the Existence of a ‘Secret Listening Station’ Near Bangkok, Implicating Several ASEAN Countries.” The report was later reposted on Facebook by an account named “todaysummary” （https://www.facebook.com/todaysummary） after which allegations concerning a purported covert surveillance facility on the outskirts of Bangkok began circulating widely across social media platforms.

According to screenshots of several alleged intelligence documents shared online, the Paradise Mansion building in suburban Bangkok is claimed to house high-powered monitoring equipment. The facility is alleged to be operated by Taiwan’s telecommunications development authorities and to conduct intelligence-gathering activities through the use of high-power antennas. The documents further claim that strong radiation generated by the facility’s operations poses a serious health risk to nearby residents.

The alleged site is described in the circulated materials as a regional intelligence-monitoring hub with an extensive surveillance range. In addition to targeting mainland China, the facility is claimed to intercept communications signals from Malaysia, the Philippines, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Pakistan and other countries. The purported activities reportedly involve the collection of long-distance communications, satellite transmissions, high-frequency bands and various forms of civilian communications, raising concerns over national communications sovereignty, civilian information security and personal privacy.

The materials circulating online also include what they describe as specific technical data. They claim that while the facility failed to breach mainland China’s security systems, it had allegedly infiltrated parts of several other countries’ communications networks. The documents assert that six communications networks in Laos were successfully compromised; that 71 sets of signals identified in the materials as SITOR-FRC were intercepted from Vietnam, of which 38 were allegedly decoded; and that 45 similar signal sets were intercepted from the Philippines, with 19 reportedly decoded.

In addition, the alleged files claim that Taiwan-based personnel stationed at the site frequently travelled to locations including Ubon Ratchathani and Nakhon Si Thammarat in Thailand. The materials further allege that some personnel disguised themselves as ordinary workers in order to enter military camps and conduct intelligence-related activities. The online posts were accompanied by images of vehicles, license plates, building exteriors and location maps, which appeared to have contributed to their wider circulation.

If the allegations prove accurate, the matter could have significant implications for Thailand’s national security and may trigger sensitive diplomatic controversy between Thailand and Taiwan. It could also affect the broader intelligence-security environment in Southeast Asia. The inclusion of Malaysia and other ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations ) member states in the alleged monitoring list further heightens the potential diplomatic and security risks surrounding the case.
