thinski sinem shacolas Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 150 days ago, July 5th 2009 | Can you suggest a 3 week itinary for Vietnam in December. I hear the south has the best weather over this time. Is that right? We want to have a bit of beach life mixed in with some culture and great food. I dont know much about this country yet so any suggestions on where to visit and stay would be great. Thanks |  Rat on the Road Kris and Kate Post Count: 436 Msg: #2 149 days ago, July 6th 2009 | Hi | It's cold in the North in December. The North is more temperate than the South, so you will need a coat and you won't get any beach time up there. We arrived in North Vietnam in December and I lived in my fleece for months. In three weeks you could do Hanoi to Saigon or visa versa - stopping at places like Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Dalat on the way. A lot of people on travelblog have done this route. I suggest you start by looking through the Vietnam travel blogs. These will give you an illustrated picture of where you can go.

We have done a trip in Vietnam in 24 days in December 2008 and enjoy Christmas eve in Hoi An, that was great. You can travel from South to North of Vietnam. The floating market in Mekong delta is incredible. Snorkelling in Nha Trang is also great. We liked ha long bay very much as well. We also had short trek in Sapa. <snip> [Edited: 11:08 - Mell ] nguyencan nguyencan Post Count: 1 Msg: #4 139 days ago, July 16th 2009 | Hi Thinski, | I'm from VietNam, I've lived in both South and North. 3 weeks in Vietnam, it's a perfect time for travel.

However, it's really hard for you to enjoy Tet holiday since it start in middle of February due to Chinese calendar. | phamquocdat41191 Dat Quoc Pham Post Count: 4 Msg: #7 109 days ago, August 15th 2009 | Great, December is a great time to travel to Vietnam, except you can't swim. Hanoi, Hoi An, Hue, Sai Gon... all are great to go | Emx Emma Haskell Post Count: 3 Msg: #8 43 days ago, October 20th 2009 | Hey there, wow I'm so jealous as it's going to be a 2011 before I'm back in Vietnam, I hope you have a wonderful time. | I started and ended my trip in Ho Chi Minh City, we had about 2 weeks and didn't get any higher than Hoi An. there is just so much to do. I would start with Ho Chi Minh, fantastic place to get your bearings and get an idea of the place and of course day trips to the Mekong and Cu Chi Tunnels a must do. Da Lat would be a debatable as to whether I would recommend it for a short full country trip? <snip>. I always happy to recommend a wonderful country and I recently discovered that the hotel I found in HCMC is still there. wonderful especially if you are new to travelling or a little nervous. I also know a Cyclo/Honda Om driver in the city so if you want to avoid too much hassle and start off with someone you can trust give me a shout. :) [Edited: 11:14 - Rat on the Road - No contact details on forums please.]  Tinhlee Vietnam guide Post Count: 4 Msg: #9 36 days ago, October 27th 2009 | Hello Thinski, | if you have a plan to travel on this time, you should start with HCMC, a beautiful and active city in ASIAan.
