Tom Divers is the founder and creator of Vietnam Coracle. In 2005 he moved from his native London to Vietnam, where he has been living, working and travelling ever since. He pays rent in Ho Chi Minh City but is more often on the road, riding his motorbike a quarter of a million kilometres across Vietnam to research guides to the farthest-flung corners of the nation. When he’s not in the saddle, you’ll find him on a beach with a margarita, in a tent on a mountainside or at a streetside noodle house: in other words, at the ‘office’.

Short Film of a Cajuput Forest ‘Floating’ in the Wetlands of the Mekong Delta
It’s been a while – years in fact – since I made any short films for Vietnam Coracle. I used to shoot little videos to accompany my guides and act as trailers for each one. However, it was simply too much time and work to do the research, writing and photography for each guide as well as shooting and editing videos for them. Ultimately, I stopped producing films. However, I recently invested time and money into restarting my video content and I hope that the following short film may be the first of many.
This film was shot in 4K (Ultra-High Definition, or UHD) and is designed to be viewed as such. Therefore, for the best possible viewing experience, please make sure you watch it in 4K quality.
