Vietnam has been challenging Thailand's leadership for several years. It is possible that according to the results of the upcoming season, the flow of tourists to the resorts of Vietnam will increase. Our correspondent Natalia Yakubova prepared for tourists short guide, which will guide them where to relax in Vietnam and which resort is better.
Phu Quoc
Vietnam is still divided into North with cool Hanoi and South with frivolous Saigon (modern Ho Chi Minh), however, now only by climatic, and not by political reasons... With its outlines, the country resembles a long rocker with baskets suspended from both ends. But the resorts on this rocker are different.
Phu Quoc Island in the Gulf of Thailand is one of the best resorts in the country, and at the same time the youngest. Long time it remained a disputed territory between Vietnam and Cambodia, which did not contribute to the development of tourism on it. Now hotels in Fukuoka are growing like mushrooms after rain, but 70% of its territory is still occupied by a national park with a virgin rainforest... Fukuoka still lacks a noisy nightlife, but it has lush nature and excellent conditions for ecotourism.
The best resorts Fukuoka are located on the west coast, where infrastructure is well developed, including international Airport... The busiest and longest beach in Fukuoka is Long Beach with fine yellow sand and hotels of various price categories, where it is best to relax with children. The second most popular beach is Ong Lang. There are also hotels here, but it is quieter, its infrastructure is worse, although the beach itself with transparent water, soft sand, a gentle sunset and palm trees overhead is unusually beautiful.
The tourist season in Fukuoka is longer than in other Vietnamese resorts. The best time on the island - from November to June. But, according to tourists, even in the rainy season from July to October, you can have a good rest here, although you cannot exclude the possibility of getting caught in lingering downpours.
Phan Thiet
Phan Thiet, located about 200 km from Ho Chi Minh City, is perhaps the most popular Vietnamese resort among our compatriots. Numerous signs in Russian, Russian films in local cafes, eloquently remind of this. big choice excursions on the "great and mighty" and sellers from the former Soviet Union in local stores. The resort stretches for about 20 km along the sea from the fishing village of Muine to the town of Phan Thiet. On both sides of the road going through it, there are large hotels and hotels, guesthouses and apartments close to each other. In some places, shops, restaurants and other catering establishments are squeezed into the dense hotel line. Prices in hotels and restaurants tend to rise from Muine towards Phan Thiet, in the vicinity of which the best hotels of the resort are located. However, there are many budget options accommodation, wide sandy beach, and so much seafood and at such a price you can hardly find anywhere else. The concepts " night life»On Phan Thiet does not exist. There are no discos and nightclubs, and after 11 pm everything in the resort freezes.
From November to April, the coast is dry, which means the tourist season. The wet season lasts from late April to October. But the rains are usually not long. Most often they are at night, early in the morning or in the evening. The exception is September, the wettest month in the region. The sea in Phan Thiet is often choppy with heavy surf, especially from January to March. Therefore, if you are going here with small children, you should consider a hotel with a swimming pool. According to tourists, the cleanliness of the beaches is quite satisfactory, although not everywhere and not always. Waves lift sand from the bottom, so the water along the coast cannot be called perfectly transparent.
Because of the strong winds, Phan Thiet has become an iconic destination for kitesurfers and windsurfers from all over the world. It was the kitesurfers who discovered Muine in the early 2000s and made a Vietnamese village. popular place recreation. At the resort great amount kite stations, windsurfing schools and many young people who come here to practice these sports.
The best attractions in the surrounding area are the Red Dunes near Muine, especially beautiful at sunset, and the reclining Buddha on Mount Taku 40 km from Phan Thiet. This is the largest Buddha statue in a state of nirvana in Vietnam with a length of 49 m.
Nha Trang
Nha Trang is the most famous resort in the country and a real exhibition of the achievements of the hotel and restaurant industry in Vietnam. But the main thing here is perhaps the best beaches. The bay of Nha Trang is covered with islands, and therefore there are no strong waves in the holiday season. On the islands of Hon Tam and Hon Che there are several luxury hotels with their own beaches - the best place for romantic couples. The main hotels are located on the mainland. The center of the resort life of Nha Trang is the European region, where many shops, massage parlors, cafes and restaurants are concentrated. South part the resort is quieter and more peaceful. Perhaps the best beaches in Vietnam are located north of Nha Trang, they are almost untouched by civilization, which makes them even more attractive. The resort's nightlife is in full swing. It is here that the most incendiary parties in Vietnam gather. Nightclubs are easy to find on the main streets, at hotels and right on the beach.
Among the main attractions of Nha Trang are the Po-Nagor Cham Towers (VIII-XI centuries) on the northern bank of the Cai River and the Bao Dai villas - five Vietnamese-French-style mansions built in the 1920s for members of the family of the last imperial dynasty.

The rainy season at the resort lasts from mid-October to mid-December; strong waves are not uncommon at this time. Storms hit the coast from November to mid-February. The dry season is between January and August. February is the coldest month in the region.
Da Nang
Da Nang, located in Central Vietnam, is a busy city. Best beach resort - magnificent China Beach, one of the cleanest in Vietnam. The main resort area is located south of the city. It is a fairly quiet place with no signs of nightlife. Among the undoubted competitive advantages of the resort are the international airport and proximity to attractions.

There is a well-developed tourist infrastructure around the bay. Every day, regardless of the season, a whole flotilla of ships stylized as old Chinese junks starts from the pier. Such tours can be one or two days, and the junks themselves, like hotels, are classified by star rating. Typically, these tours include a transfer from your hotel in Hanoi to the pier.
There are hotels on Catba Island, in Halong on the coast and on Tuan Chau Island with excellent beaches connected by a bridge to the mainland. From February to April there is cool weather with frequent rains and fogs, hot and humid in summer. The best time to travel is April-May and September-October.

With the onset of May, tourists have a huge selection of countries where you can soak up the beaches, swim in the warm sea and open or continue beach season... Someone is in a hurry to Europe, where the season is just beginning, and someone flies to Southeast Asia to have time to relax in those parts before the rainy season has begun. If you decide to take a risk and visit Vietnam, then you should know, where it is better to go on vacation in May for a vacation in Vietnam, which resort to choose so that the weather is good and the prices are reasonable. Let's try to understand this issue.
More and more tourists visit the country every year. And those who have been here on vacation once are happy to return again. And all because the country has a well-developed infrastructure, luxury hotels, unique nature and endless beaches with white sand. But coming here in May is not particularly recommended. After all, in this region of Asia, the rainy season begins, and you can get caught in the monsoons, sit all the rest in a hotel room. Although, as far as Vietnam is concerned, it does not rain everywhere in late spring. Where are they not? Read on.
Monsoons that envelop almost the entire east asia from late spring to autumn, prevent you from fully enjoying your beach vacation. But tourists mistakenly think that at this time it rains from the sky for days on end. It's not like that at all. Of course, there are prolonged rains, but mainly monsoons are short-term showers that winds bring with them, big waves at sea and floods. Between the rains the sun comes out, which heats very strongly and the air temperature instantly soars up to +40 degrees. The sun can shine for an hour or half a day, and then the wind will blow again and charge the strongest downpour. It is because of the unpredictability of the weather that tourists do not fly here. Few people want to be on the beach in the wild and feel the power of the wind, waves and others. natural phenomena... In Vietnam, the rainy season does not start throughout the country. At first, it covers some areas, and the closer to summer, the large territory conquer the monsoons.
Most recently, the rains come to the center of the country, to cities such as: Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue. Almost until July there are no heavy rainfalls here, and it rains 5-7 times a month, while the rains are weak and do not at all look like monsoons. Most of the tourists are observed here in May. And residents of other regions of Vietnam come to these cities, away from showers and closer to the beaches. Besides the fact that there is no rain in the center of the country, there is no heat here either. The average air temperature is about +31 degrees, evaporation is very low.
We have new reviews of tourists about vacations in Vietnam in different time of the year. Read them to help you choose the best resort in the country.
In the favorite resorts of Vietnam: Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Mui Ne and Con Dao Island, excellent weather is also observed. During the day, the air warms up no higher than +32 degrees, and the sea shows +28 heat. But here it is already not entirely safe to rest. The rains are coming closer and closer to the south of the country and the humidity increases greatly. Even if you are lucky and there will be no rain during your vacation at the resorts, it will still not be comfortable, since the air humidity is at least 82%. Such humidity is difficult to tolerate, and people with heart and blood pressure problems are generally better off not showing up on these days.
The north of the country is already completely at the mercy of the monsoons. It rains here 23-25 days a month. As we said above. It hardly rains all day. But they can be taken more than ten times a day. Therefore, the north of Vietnam is not at all suitable for a holiday in May.
Phu Quoc Island is also one of the favorite tourist destinations. They come here all year round, and this is no accident. According to statistics, the rainy season here lasts the least. And the air temperature is always kept at about the same level in the region of +32 degrees. But do not relax, as the weather is changeable, and 5-7 times a month and Phu Quoc rain drops.
Where to go for sure?
Unfortunately, predicting the weather in Vietnam in May is difficult. Local forecasters do not give forecasts in advance, as the wind changes and the direction of the monsoons changes. If you are going to Vietnam at the end of spring, then be prepared for the fact that you can spend the whole rest in hotels and watch the rains outside the window. The best option is to head to the south of the country. It rains the least here, and the interval between rains is greater.
What to do in Vietnam in May: beach, excursions.
Since the weather in the country in May can give an unpleasant surprise, you need to figure out in advance what to do in case of rain. There are a lot of excursions in the country. But in the rainy season, their diversity is sharply reduced. For example, there are almost no excursions to nature, mountains and plantations. Indeed, in the rain and strong wind it is very dangerous. Basically, from May to September, guides take tourists to sights and temples. You will learn the history of the country, in museums you will see with your own eyes what the war did to the inhabitants of Vietnam, how it changed their way of life and culture.
Those who take risks and go to the shores of Vietnam in May, in the form of a bonus in sunny days get almost empty beaches, and quiet rest... So you can take a chance, because the prices at this time of the year for holidays in the country are the lowest.
An experienced tourist who has traveled half the world sooner or later leaves the beaten path of travel. In search of new impressions, he discovers Asia, which is far from being as comfortable as patriarchal Europe, and rich in dashing entertainments, as usual with, but no less attractive for this.
Vietnam, being on a par with Thailand the pearl of the Indochina Peninsula, promises even a sophisticated traveler a lot of previously unknown impressions.
Vietnam or Thailand: where is it cheaper?
When is the decision to visit asian resort accepted, it's worth asking yourself a question - why Vietnam, but not, or, for example, their Indochina neighbors Laos and Cambodia? As for the last two, one can definitely answer - the level of development of such a sector of the economy as tourism in these states cannot be compared with the Vietnamese one.
And what about Thailand? After all, Thais opened their doors to travelers from all over the world much earlier. Yes, Thailand's economy is focused on foreign visitors, but the tense political environment does not allow the tourist to feel safe. In 2014, a military coup took place here, the echoes of which still destabilize the situation in the country. In addition, prices in Thai hotels and supermarkets is much higher than in Vietnamese.
By the way, about the prices. In Vietnam, the most expensive vacation will cost on the northern coast. The central and southern regions of the country practice a more lenient pricing policy in relation to their guests. Another plus of the rest in Vietnam is that prices here do not change depending on the season and remain low throughout the year.
It is interesting! According to legend, the Vietnamese are the fruit of the union of a dragon and a fairy-bird. That is why the dragon is the most revered mythical animal in Vietnam.
With children at sea: when to get ready for the trip?
Due to the length of Vietnam from north to south, the country's climate is very diverse and not always soft. The north will delight you with moderate heat from May to October. The rest of the time, the weather, although less favorable to the guests of the country, is still not distinguished by anomalies. These are subtropics - there is a lot of sun, a lot of rainfall and high humidity.

Another thing - capricious southern climate... The weather is warm all year round, but the rainy season begins in May in this part of the country. Tropical showers turn into typhoons, and those into extensive floods. But since October, a calm has been established in the south - there is no particular heat, but winds with rains do not spoil the impressions of the rest.
And even such wayward weather plays into the hands of a tourist - you can relax in Vietnam all year round: from May to October, sunbathe and swim in the north, in the autumn-spring season - in the south. The average annual temperature here varies from 22 to 25 ° C.
Contrary to popular belief, the main religion in Vietnam is not Buddhism, but traditional beliefs: locals worship spirits, mythical animals, mother goddess.
