Holiday in Vietnam

[Left For Dead]

Looked at Cambodia but a bit too exotic.

Many been - Hanoi area is where we are looking. Worth it or better off elsewhere in Asia.

Cambodia exotic? It’s great but where I went wasn’t exotic

Only been to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam but I loved it.

 

[Yankee Mackem]

Was going to go to Hanoi but then I thought Phuket.

Hanoi is great
HCM is great
Hoi An is great

Wasn't a big fan. I liked Thailand much better. Saigon is mental. If you go, please look up how to cross the road or you'll get splatted (I'm serious)

Thinking of it in January. Not been before but someone recommended
Fly into Hanoi - 3 days
Fly to Da Nang - 9 days
Fly to HCMC - 3 days
Fly home from HCMC
Will watch this thread with interest though as quite open to other suggestions

That reminds me, whatever happened to @RtMbM or whatever he was called.

9 days in Da Nang? Make it 9 hours

Unless by Da Nang you mean Hoi An. Still too long

 

[jubblies]

Take about 27,000,000 Dong

Cambodia is perfect for Europeans. Siem Reap is built for tourism and the lazy crossroads that is pub street is the most relaxing 'city' break anywhere. The Wats are fantastic and between that and a week on the beach you'll have a superb time.

Vietnam isn't bad either mind. Getting lost in Da Lat is a pleasure.

 

[RossTheNinja]

Oh and watch out for dodgey taxis where the meter goes triple speed

 

[Arkle]

Only been to HCMC and that's been for work. Cracking place and amazingly good food.

Do NOT under any circumstances spend 9 days in Da Nang. It is f***ing grim.

9 minutes is too long!

Hanoi is great
HCM is great
Hoi An is great

HCM not a shit hole? Where is best for a jungle trek?

Aye Siem Reap itself is nowt special but the temples are unbelievable. Loved Phnom Penh.
