When planning a trip to Vietnam, consider the presence of the rainy season, during which there are typhoons on the coast and floods in the center of the country. You need to go in the dry season:
- Hanoi - in May-June and September-October,
- Nha Trang - from June to October;
- Dalat - from December to March;
- Mui Ne, Fukuok, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) - from December to April.
From clothes take light light pants, shorts, T-shirts, headdress, sunglasses, open light shoes. Raincoats and umbrellas can be bought very inexpensively on the spot, if necessary. If you wear large sizes of clothes and shoes, do not expect to easily buy something for yourself in Vietnam, take it with you. In the cool season and when traveling to North Vietnam, take warm summer clothes.
In Dalat dressed in the costumes of American cowboys, the guides are numerous, intrusive and, according to the experience of tourists, are not professional.
Ho Chi Minh City - a city with high traffic intensity and the most dangerous in Vietnam in terms of small street thefts.
Not far from Mui Ne, there are red and white Vietnamese dunes. Moving along the dunes, try not to stand still. Do not take photo and video equipment with you, or try to wrap it as tightly as possible, otherwise you'll forever ruin it. Close your pockets. Secure things, hats, glasses. The reason for all precautions is the ubiquitous strong whirlwind that can blow your pockets out of your pockets, carry away your headgear and fill you with sand to the limit.
At Fukuoka outside the hotel areas is dirty and untidy. The locals are friendly, the attitude towards foreigners is uncool, there is as yet no practice of ubiquitous "fishing out" of money.
Nha Trang, Danang, Wail, Fukuok - diving resorts, the main in Vietnam and the most inexpensive in the world. It provides excellent equipment, instruction, immersions under the supervision of instructors, including night diving. If necessary, medical assistance is provided. Bathe, be more careful in the ocean surf, do not swim far from the coast.
