VIETNAM

GENERAL Vietnam is a captivating country in Southeast Asia known for its diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. Among its gems is Da Nang, a coastal city renowned for its stunning sandy beaches, such as My Khe Beach, and the iconic Dragon Bridge. Da Nang serves as a gateway to the ancient town of Hoi An and the imperial city of Hue, offering a blend of historical intrigue and modern attractions. With its warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, and picturesque scenery, Vietnam, and particularly Da Nang, promise a memorable experience.

WEATHER In March, Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang experience pleasant, warm weather, making it an ideal time for travel. The average temperature ranges between 22°C (72°F) and 27°C (81°F), providing comfortable conditions for exploring the city. March is part of the dry season, so rainfall is minimal, and you can expect mostly sunny days. Humidity remains relatively high at around 85%, but the gentle breezes help keep the atmosphere enjoyable

CURRENCY The local currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). It is recommended to bring a mix of Dong and US dollars. Cash can be easily exchanged at hotels, though exchange rates may vary. International credit cards are widely accepted in most hotels, shops, and restaurants. Always check the current exchange rate at the hotel front desk.

  • Good morning - Chào buổi sáng
  • Good evening - Chào buổi tối
  • Please - Xin vui lòng
  • Thank you - Cảm ơn
  • Yes - Có
  • No - Không
  • Do you speak English? - Bạn có nói tiếng Anh không?
