Hi, I'm Joanna, the author of The Blond Travels. In the worlds of Thailand and Portugal, I feel like a fish in water - and it's no coincidence! I've been exploring Thailand for over a decade, and I've settled in Portugal for 6 years now. My mission is to support Dreamers - just like you - in discovering these fascinating countries and helping those in love with them find their own place on Earth, preferably for good! Let's uncover these unique corners of the world together.

Saigon is a city where cool and hip come to play. Here you will find quirky cafés, designer shops and restaurants serving the best food in the country. If you wander a little further away from the main streets, you will find some hidden gems, where locals like to hang out. One such place is the 3A Station – a place created by artists, designers and photographers to show off their work and skills.

The cool kids of Ho Chi Minh City love to hang out at 3A Station

3A Station, formerly 3 warehouses built during French colonization, is a space filled with small boutique shops, cafés and art workshops. Here the cool kids of Ho Chi Minh City come to hang out, take photos and cool off in air conditioned rooms while sipping on iced cappuccinos and fruit tea.

Chris really liked the street art at 3A Station

The narrow alleyways of 3A Station are decorated with amazing grafitti, which makes the area even more interesting and colourful. The street art creates ideal background for photoshoots and attracts wanna-be models and photographers.

3A Station is also a good spot for shopping. If you’re tired with seeing the same old clothes at South East Asia’s shops, then visit this place for some more original items.
