Recently, Ut and Phuc travelled together on a cruise that included stops in Ha Long Bay, Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City. Following the visit, Phuc and her husband left for Poland to participate in a discussion on ways to aid Ukrainian refugees, while Ut flew from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap, Cambodia.
