Asia From Above

With bright eyes, the travelers report from the land of the golden temples, lushy nature and multicultural mixture. Views of the ancient pagodas, a glance at the red robes of the monks, scenes of an emotional history and a scenic landscape fascinate the visitors of Myanmar.

The beautiful coast of Thailand is just a small snippet of the fascinating country. Buddhism and economic expansion, skyscrapers and hill tribes, urban rush and deep silence: this documentation undertakes an expedition in search of the essence of authentic Thai life, and shows us the country with flying cameras from the bird's view.

Over 30 years after the war, Vietnam presents itself as one of the most fascinating countries of Asia. The lush, jungle-covered emperor residencies are from the days of old. Today, the French, colonial-style living and picturebook landscapes transform former Indochina into a festival of color, haze and sound.

Laos enchants its visitors. With its slow daily routines and the lofty beauty of its landscapes, Laos is different from its aspiring neighbors Thailand and Vietnam. It's almost as if the speed of the modern world gives the sparsely-populated country a wide fair.

Deep in the jungle of Cambodia, there are leftovers of a powerful culture: the Khmer once ruled large sections of Southeast Asia. They created one of the biggest temple towns in the world, Angkor Wat. For centuries, the fairytale buildings captivated people. The jungle-ruins are as mysterious and fascinating as Cambodia itself.
