The jeep’s engine murmurs as you roll out from the Old Quarter, metal frame reflecting neon and early-morning steam from noodle stalls. Streets narrow and press close — scooters weave like schools of fish while vendors hawk herbs and sticky rice. For four hours the city reveals itself in short scenes: a century-old rail line threaded through coffee tables, colonial facades peering over lane-side markets, and wide lake surfaces that catch the city’s sky.
