Smiles of Vietnam is a photo essay showcasing the lovely Vietnamese people in both posed and candid portraits. The following photos are from the Southern region of the country – specifically from the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Dalat, Mui Ne and Nha Trang. From my encounters with locals on the hectic streets of Saigon to the more backwater and chilled out sections of the Mekong Delta, one can catch a glimpse of what it is like to be in this most fascinating country.
