Thai A
Having spent three decades working for Heritage Magazine, Thai A shares his thoughts on some memorable journeys.
Founded soon after the establishment of Vietnam’s flag carrier, Heritage Magazine has accompanied passengers to countless familiar and strange lands. In The Tale of Kieu, a line states: “Mười lăm năm ấy biết bao nhiêu tình” (Those fifteen years were teeming with affection). In fifteen years multiplied by two, Heritage has brought countless joys to readers because each story and photo contains a wealth of new information.
Ayutthaya in Thailand
Through the magazine’s pages, Thailand became a familiar shopping and tourism destination, as stories introduced readers to the friendly smiles of Thai people and the serene spiritual life of the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya. Reader explored Thailand’s bustling capital Bangkok and the vibrant island of Phuket with its luxurious restaurants, lively bars, colorful street shows, and bustling night markets.
The Old Town of Zhouzhuang in China
Leaving Southeast Asia to explore China, Heritage has taken readers to Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan, Yunnan, and more. As well as presenting scenic views, we have profiled the diverse culinary experiences in China’s three regions, summed up by the saying: “East for sweetness, North for saltiness, and West for spiciness”.

Sometimes, a dash of adventure breathes more meaning into our journeys of discovery, and Heritage has served as a gateway to some truly unique destinations. One such place is Komodo Island in Indonesia, which offers vast white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and mystical tropical forests that are home to the Komodo dragon – a massive reptile believed to be descended from prehistoric dinosaurs. In this island nation, you will also encounter the unique beauty of Yogyakarta, where local artists express their creativity by painting an array of shapes and colors on the city’s walls and signs.
Shirakawago Village in Japan
Our in-flight magazine often profiles two Northeast Asian countries: Japan and South Korea. The nature and culture in these destinations are inexhaustible topics for Heritage’s writers. Tokyo alone can captivate readers with countless fascinating stories. As well as being a modern metropolis, Tokyo was also the capital of a long-standing feudal state, where relics have been carefully preserved. Prominent landmarks include ancient buildings, palaces, Buddhist pagodas, Shinto shrines, kabuki theaters, and sumo wrestling arenas. Everything in Tokyo seems stacked on top of something else in an incredibly skillful manner.
Marienplatz Square in Germany
Journeying further to Europe, Heritage has visited the world’s most beautiful ancient castles in Germany, including the palace of the former Bavarian monarchs in Munich, which blends Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo artistry. Beyond famous castles, Heritage has led readers on strolls through centuries-old green spaces in London in the United Kingdom. These Royal Parks not only preserve historical traces of British royal life but also serve as London’s green lungs.

If you’re seeking a friendly and outgoing culture, you should definitely join Heritage in visiting Australia and its bustling outdoor markets. The Land of Kangaroos boasts more than 300 registered markets each year. Art fairs host a variety of unique creative products made by local artists. Antique markets sell cute trinkets and rare vintage items. However, when it comes to choosing a must-visit destination in Queensland, Fraser Island tops the list. The largest sand island in the world, Fraser spans approximately 1,800 square kilometers.
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA
