The scenic nature, fascinating culture, and generosity of the Vietnamese, all join forces to make Southeast Asia an undeniably lovely destination to travel to. Stocking up on these travel tips could only add to the host of exciting things on offer in Vietnam and some delightful time away.
Nailing down the perfect time to travel to Vietnam is rather tricky, as the glaringly elongated nation stretches a whopping 1,600 kilometres from north to south, thus, experiencing distinctly different climates in different parts of the country at the same time of the year. Therefore, those keen on vacationing in the dazzling sunshine should look into the regional weather of your target destination or choose a region with supposably perfect weather that coincides with your window of travel. All in all, there's bound to be some region in Vietnam that allows you to bask in the soothing sun no matter the time of your travel, making the Southeast Asian nation somewhat of a year-round destination.
The golden rule of packing, that is keeping in mind not to pack your entire wardrobe when travelling, is no less true for the Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam. The country is pretty easy-going with clothing, hence 2 -3 pieces of any clothing you prefer — shirts, t-shirts, shorts, pants, skirts etc — should be fine as long as they are not overly revealing. Besides clothes, a pair of sunglasses, swimwear and carrying enough sunscreen and mosquito repellent could make or break your getaway.
Vietnam is no conservative country whatsoever. With its tropical nature all year round, lightweight, low-key yet decent clothing rules, with many locals choosing to reveal some skin and feel comfy in the Vietnam heat. As liberal as the country is when it comes to clothing, still, certain off-limits do exist that shouldn't be crossed. While you are, by all means, free to wander in flip-flops or shorts, bikinis and men going shirtless in public could be described as Vietnam's definition of crossing the line.
The Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam has scores of exciting activities in store for you, with a plethora of things to do in Quy Nhon and other parts of the country. Those who fancy a bit of sightseeing can find their slice of bliss at the country's most fascinating cultural sites, and for a fun-filled day, there are oodles of fun and thrills on the palm-fringed shores of Vietnam's picture-postcard beaches.
English is widely spoken in the capital city, Hanoi, and other metropolises the likes of Ho Chi Minh, but venturing towards smaller towns and outside hotels and resorts such as Avani Quy Nhon Resort, it is possible that you may find quite a many locals struggle to keep a conversation going. Therefore, familiarising yourself with at least a few Vietnamese words, phrases and greetings can really go a long way.
