Ever since he set foot in Hanoi during a short exchange program six years ago, Robin Marty, a French student majoring in marine science, has been captivated by the robust life brimming in every corner of the Vietnamese capital city.  “You always see bunches of young girls and boys driving around on their cheap electric bikes gagging and shouting. Most people smile first, then talk,” Marty wrote in a release note for his 2021 EP Tra Da (Iced Tea). “And it is not uncommon to see people randomly singing in the street, in a shop, on their balcony. “I feel like that’s something we have forgotten back home [in France].” Limebócx members perform at a music event at Hanoi Rock City in December 2022.

Circus artists Giang Quoc Nghiep, 38, and Giang Quoc Co, 34, successfully walked up 10 stairs to a height of two meters, then passed through a crossbar that is 0.4 meter wide and 10 meters long, and then walked down 10 stairs in their performance in Milan on Friday afternoon (local time). After receiving the invitation to perform at the Guinness World Record Show in Milan from the event’s organizer, Banijay S.p.A Company, the acrobatic duo had three weeks for their preparation. The Giang brothers said that they had failed several times during training before coming to a success to earn another place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

This image shows Vietnam’s Giang brothers successfully performing their head-to-head balancing walk at Milan, Italy on February 3, 2022, setting a new worl...

Captain Theerathon Bunmathan scored with a stunning 24th minute strike from distance to earn Thailand the spoils in front of their own fans at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani and deliver a record extending seventh regional crown. Thailand won the biennial title last year in Singapore, beating Indonesia over two legs in the final after the competition was delayed by 12 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the away goals rule in operation, Polking’s team went into the second leg with a narrow advantage after a 2-2 draw in Hanoi on Friday. Vietnam were hoping to give coach Park Hang-seo a winning send off with the South Korean announcing he would end his five-and-a-half year stint in charge at the end of the tournament. But the Golden Star Warriors struggled to make an impression in the opening exchanges against a well-drilled Thai side and it was fitting that Theerathon should put his team in front. The Buriram United midfielder has been one of Thailand’s stand-out performer...
