    VIETNAM

    9th - MAA – BKK

    9th – Bangkok to Hua Hin by Bus Organised for Wedding


    10th – Hua Hin (Wedding)
    11th – Hua Hin to Bangkok by Bus Organised for Wedding. Evening in Bangkok

    12th - BKK – HAN


    12th – Explore Hanoi

    Walk around Hoan Kiem Lake


    This lake is one of the most famous symbols of Hanoi, and its banks are considered
    sacred to Vietnamese people. A wander around here is lovely at any time of day, but
    head over as the sun is setting (and the temperature is dropping) to see people playing
    badminton, jogging and enjoying coffee on the street with friends.

    Try to navigate the alleys and lane ways of the Old Quarter
    Hanoi is famed for its alleyways. Outside of the Old Quarter these alleyways are where
    the majority of Hanoians live, inside of the Old Quarter they home markets, street food
    and shops. Wander and get lost, stop for a cafe sua da (iced vietnamese coffee) on a little
    plastic stool and continue on your way.

    Visit the Ho Chi Minh Complex


    The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is almost considered a pilgrimage to a lot of Vietnamese
    people. Queue to see the embalmed remains of the communist leader and then head next
    door to see his home in the grounds of the Presidential Palace. There is also a museum
    and One Stilt Pagoda on the site.

    13th – Hanoi + Ninh Binh Day Trip

    This beautiful part of the north is relatively un-trafficked by backpackers aiming to see
    the entire country in just a few weeks. And what a shame for them to miss it, but what a
    treat for those with the time to enjoy it! The area is known as Ha Long on land, due to its
    lime peaks, and is surrounded by picturesque rice paddies. Although Tam Coc is the
    more famous site to visit in Ninh Binh, we’d recommend heading for Trang An, which is
    an easy cycle away. The tour will take you through caves and stop off at tranquil
    pagodas.

    14th/15th - Hanoi - Sa Pa Overnight Trip (Private Car)

    The mountainous region of Sapa is breathtaking. The area is famed for it’s views across
    rice paddies, hiking and the minority tribe of the H’Mong people. An easy walk downhill
    to Cat Cat Village is the easiest option for exploring, and is rewarded with a beautiful
    waterfall (the walk back up is a little more painful for those that are perhaps not in
    awesome shape). For more challenging hikes, H’Mong ladies wander the town offering
    hiking and homestay trips. This will get you off the beaten path a little and give you a
    little insight into the rice wine loving culture of the people here. And give you a good bit
    of exercise, too.

    15th - Hanoi Evening

    Need to Plan
    15th - Hanoi – Halong Bay Overnight Trip (Cruise)

    Considered to be one of the “New” 7 Wonders of the World, Ha Long Bay is a mystical
    and beautiful place to visit and spend a night.

    Most visitors to Ha Long Bay take a tour from Hanoi. The company will pick you up
    from your hotel super early and take you by bus to the harbor. From here you’ll board
    your boat for the night and set out into the bay. Most trips include swimming, a beach
    stop, kayaking and a visit to Surprising Cave.

    16th - HAN – HUI

    16th – Hue

    For the next stop on your tour of Vietnam, hop on a plane to Hue, a fascinating city that
    was once the imperial capital and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Though it
    sadly lost many of its architectural gems during the war, there’s still plenty to see on a
    ramble through Hue’s sprawling ancient Citadel. Chief among the city’s other highlights
    are the peaceful Thien Mu Pagoda and the Tombs of the Emperors, the latter of which
    are atmospherically located on the banks of the Perfume River. Another place worth
    visiting in Hue is the Spiral Foundation, an organisation that sells eco-friendly crafts
    produced by deaf and mute artisans, who can guide you through the process of making
    your own souvenir.

    17th - Hue to Hoi An by Privage Car

    The journey from Hue to Hoi An will take you through the picturesque Vietnamese
    countryside as well as giving you some tremendous views of the coastline. When you get
    there, the best thing to do is simply wander the historic streets and see what you find in
    this exceptionally well-preserved former trading port town. That way, you’ll imbibe the
    atmosphere as well as being able to admire the traditional architecture that speaks of the
    town’s heyday. Don’t miss Hoi An’s famous Japanese Bridge.

    17th - DAD – DLI

    Dalat Full Day


    Dalat is an alternative Vietnam: the weather is spring-like instead of tropical hot, the
    town is dotted with elegant French-colonial villas rather than stark socialist architecture,
    and the surrounding farms cultivate strawberries, coffee and flowers in place of rice.
    The French came first, fleeing the heat of Saigon for average daily temperatures that
    hover between 15°C and 24°C. They left behind their holiday homes and a European
    resort vibe, which the Vietnamese have added to with their own unique, sometimes kitsch
    touches. Whether it’s the Eiffel Tower–shaped radio tower, the horse-drawn carriages or
    the colourful heart-shaped cut-outs at the Valley of Love, this is a town that takes
    romance seriously. Dalat is Vietnam's honeymoon capital and extremely popular with
    domestic tourists.For foreign visitors, the moderate climate has made Dalat the
    adventure-sports capital of southern Vietnam, with canyoning, mountain biking, white-
    water rafting and treks into the surrounding hills all available.

    18th - DLI – SGN

    18th – Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

    Kick off your trip to Vietnam by exploring Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City.
    Orientate yourself with a wander along Dong Khoi Street (previously known as Rue
    Catinat), the buildings of which tell the story of the city’s colonial past. A good place to
    gain an understanding of the country’s plight during the Vietnam War is the War
    Remnants Museum, but few experiences can give you a better idea of living conditions
    for the soldiers themselves than heading underground into the intriguing Cu Chi tunnel
    network, two sections of which are open to the public.

    19th – Ho Chi Min City (Saigon) + Mekong Delta Day Trip

    After the claustrophobic tunnels, head for the Mekong Delta to get out in the open air and
    sample fresh, locally grown produce from the floating markets that continue to be held
    here much as they have always done. Cruising the Delta, you’ll get a feel for the sights,
    sounds and smells of a traditional Vietnamese way of life, supported by the lush greenery
    and rich diversity of life that thrives at the mouth of the mighty Mekong.

    20th - SGN - BKK - MAA
