Van Hanoi se bedrywige strate tot die mistige berge van Sa Pa, deur magiese grotte, ikoniese baaie en die energieke strate van Ho Chi Minh-stad dis waarna kykers kan uitsien wanneer Elders: Viëtnam op Sondag 19 Julie om 20:00 op kykNET (DStv-kanaal 144) begin uitsaai. Stapper en skrywer Erns Grundling neem kykers op 'n noord na suid reis deur een van Suidoos-Asië se mees fassinerende lande, 'n Veertig-dae-projek wat weens Viëtnam se komplekse burokrasie en verskeie tifone een van die mees uitdagende nog was. Met 'n SAFTA-bekroonde nalatenskap agter die rug, beloof hierdie agste seisoen om kykers te betower en ja, Erns se snor maak eers in die laaste episode sy verskyning.
