    Why Hunt Street Murals in Southeast Asia?

    Ancient dance meets modern wallsAncient dance meets modern walls (Source: Internet)

    Street art has exploded across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand, turning forgotten walls into open-air galleries that tell powerful stories of culture, history, resilience and everyday life. From giant 3D illusions in Hanoi to poignant Khmer Rouge memories in Phnom Penh, playful elephants in Luang Prabang and psychedelic temples in Bangkok – these murals are unmissable for photographers, culture lovers and anyone seeking authentic local vibes.

    The best part? Most are completely free, hidden in quiet lanes, and perfect for our small-group Vietnam Tours, Cambodia Tours, Laos Tours and Thailand Tours that always include secret art stops the big buses miss.

    Top Must-See Street Murals by Country

    • Hanoi Old Quarter Murals (Phung Hung Street, Train Street area) – 19 giant murals celebrating Hanoi’s 1,010-year history

    • Ho Chi Minh City Hidden Alleys (District 1 & District 3) – pastel cafés, Vietnamese women in áo dài, and Saigon retro vibes

    • Hoi An “Memory Wall” – colourful fishing village scenes on ancient yellow walls

    • Da Nang Dragon Bridge surroundings – massive 3D murals you can walk inside

    Cambodia – Powerful & Emotional

    • Vientiane riverside – quiet, poetic murals of Lao daily life

    Thailand – Bold & Playful

    Cultural Etiquette When Photographing Street Art

    Apsara Statues in Angkor CompexlApsara Statues in Angkor Compexl (Source: Internet)
    • Always smile and greet locals – a quick “xin chào”, “sabaidee”, “sawasdee” opens every door

    • Ask permission before photographing people inside or near murals

    • Avoid touching or leaning on fresh paint (many artists repaint regularly)

    • Support the scene: buy a coffee at cafés with mural walls or tip local guides

    • Never add your own graffiti – respect the artists’ work
