VIETNAM


GENERAL INFORMATION

Vietnam geographically stretched along the coast from north to south. Therefore reach by road from the capital Hanoi to the southern "capital" of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is possible only for a few days. Distances between cities attract tourists, on average, about 200 km at a speed of movement on highway 60 km.ch. (Exception - on federal highways Away from the cities - there are traffic jams)) Climate, weather, nature, sights, culture, and many other options in the South and the North are very different. And in the northern part of Vietnam, even snow in the mountains is (once every two years, however, as they say, in Sapa and Mount Mau Son.) more cultural attractions in the north, the beaches - in the South.


Take into account these factors, and in particular the minimum distance of the journey.

Places that are going to see in Vietnam from North to South:

Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hue, Hoi An, Danang, Dalat Nyachang, Moein, Vung Tau, Mekong, Fukok (island), Ho Chi Minh City.


VISA TO VIETNAM

For Russian citizens visa to Vietnam for a period of 15 days or less is required. To pay anything to anybody not. Other charges at the airport either. You just put on the border stamp in the passport, which indicates the date when you have to leave the country.

If prior to the expiration of the 15 days you are traveling from Vietnam (eg, Cambodia, Laos, Thai, etc.) - the visa is closed, and you return to again put the die and 15 days start to flow again.

If you need a visa to Vietnam for a longer period of time - 16 days, 17 days and so on, multi-visa (multiple entry) You can either make it to the consulate or embassy of Vietnam (if there is one in your area), or via the Internet to make visa support and get a visa on arrival at the border.

 

CONNECTIONS IN VIETNAM

With transport links in Vietnam is no problem. Across the country, travel coaches of Open Tour, tickets can be bought at any local travel agency of "barn-tent."

Moreover, you can always take a taxi (half a dollar per kilometer) or transfer (price on request, at an average of 200 km. Roads will cost from 50 to 100 dollars, depending on where and which way you go. Machine in the surrounding area on a day usually costs about $ 50.

There is a rail link to take advantage of domestic flights, and in some places by ferry, boat, river missile boat. In place of such a service is distributed as carting on motorbike.

 

MONEY

Vietnamese Dong. The euro has not stuck. It is better to take dollars. With ATMs in some places can be a problem. And so have the cash.


WEATHER

Do you remember what the weather was in 2010 in different countries? Vietnam is not an exception. Do not guess.

See the weather forecast, archives, and reports.

The rainy season is from April to October, but in different places is different.

 

BEACH VACATIONS

 Sea

Vietnam Sea and the beach - not a "bounty." That's what is referred to as "yellow" is the South China Sea. Totally transparent water is rare, mainly in the calm, early morning in the summer. Think about what you want out of the country and beach holidays in it. If the blue waters and white sand - it is better to choose another one. If the interest is Vietnam - then welcome!

 

How to choose the resort in the South of Vietnam (beach vacation)?

The most popular among beach lovers and best utilized at the moment Vung Tau Nyachange and Kamran Muin (Fanthet) Fanrang. The choice between these two resorts on the forum in the same section, there are a lot of topics. Do not be lazy to watch them, doubts and questions, most vacationers general tips will help them and you determine the place of rest.


The main advantages and disadvantages of these places:

Vung Tau:

Can be reached in 1.5 hours from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) in the river rocket, that is close.

In the city hotel on the first line is not very much, you have just a few pieces. Other hotels are located across the street from the beach, but have their own beaches (just across the road from the hotel) with a swimming pool, sun loungers, bars.

At sea, the waves are often, but you can swim - good shallow water.

For lovers of secluded rural break in the direction of Long Hai Beach and Osaka hotels weight good level, where almost no one, except for Vietnamese holidays. Infrastructure, too, is not, that is outside the hotel - rice fields, Vietnamese steppes and occasionally coming across sheds.

In the city, many understand in Russian, as here in Soviet times has a large Russian-Vietnamese oil producer. Russian accustomed to. In the best sense of the word.

 

Muin (village) or Fanthet (city).

The most hyped resort, located between the village and the city, administratively belongs to the city (so called Fanthetom tour operators), territorial - close to the village (so the people Muin). To go from 5 to 7 hours from Saigon by bus or car.

Hotels in the main on the first line, right on the beach, on the coast almost all the resort. There's just one street

Tourism and created a place for tourism restaurants, souvenir shops, spas and more - at every turn. Prices are appropriate.

Here Vietnamese kitesurfing mecca.

Often the wind blows, big waves and strong surf.

There are many Russian: daunshiftery, kiters, guides, hired the staff, the owners of a small business. In Russian spoken and understood. We were accustomed to, in every sense of the word. Moein our countrymen have long called Muynevkoy, Moein etc. Russian ear familiar names.

Nyachang and Kamran.

Saigon and Hanoi can fly domestic airlines (about an hour, give or take, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) - close, Hanoi - on). Cam Ranh airport is designated as (developing resort, which is not so many hotels and almost no infrastructure, and no additional about it until I write).

As in Vung Tau beach - just across the road from the hotel.

The sea is much calmer, unlike Muin and Vung Tau. A dive.

Russian here too. However, I do not know of any place in the world where there are no Russian.


Fanrang.

Relatively new to the countrymen resort. In connection with this quiet, peaceful and secluded. Too urban, but most of the new hotels and the prices lower than in other places. You can get there from Cam Ranh Nyachange or an hour and a potora land. Sea calmer than Moein, but the wind happens.

Russian is very small.

Hoi An

To get through the airport in Danang. From there, half an hour by taxi to the city. Hoi An itself - the old town, located on the river and is a tourist destination: a cafe, shops, souvenir shops, sewing studio, a lot of streets that are pedestrian traffic only. To the beach along the river is a road - 20 minutes on the bike. Hotel is in the old town, and the "Riverside" and on the coast. Believed in Hoi cleanest beaches and the sea in this part of the country. Wind and waves are rare.

Con Dao Island

Here is the unspoiled nature. Divers and snorkelers will enjoy the local archipelago. However, due to the fact that the resort is new and neraskrucheny - accommodation on the island at this time is either very expensive or very cheap and not very good.


SOUVENIRS

Vietnamese driven pearls (mostly mediocre quality, but cheap), silk products, handicrafts made of shells, coconut tree, the national drink, with all immured within the bottle reptiles, traditional medicine (ointments, rubbing with a poison snake and / or herbs), tea and coffee.


SAFETY

Everywhere he went the traveler, there is always a chance encounter with a variety of problems: it could be a pure fraud and poor quality service, and not knowing the specifics of the local population or even tradition. Some situations are typical for all countries, some only for Vietnam.

 

In general, Vietnam - a country relatively safe for tourists, however, where the tourist - there money where money is - there is a greater risk of becoming a victim of a divorce or violation.

 

The most common problems:

- Have you booked a hotel, did not make the payment, and upon arrival found out that your room is put

- You took the "left" and the bill for a taxi ride was much higher than the normal price (or you drove in circles or counter spinning faster and more expensive than usual)

- The exchange of dollars in the store offered a disadvantageous exchange rate, and you unknowingly agreed

- Cheated in a restaurant or cafe

- Before going to "samonarisovavshimsya" taxi driver, tour guide, rickshaw, motobaykerom agreed on a price, and on arrival you are offered another

- The restaurant is not the price of the seafood or exotic dish usually write "the market price on the day of the order" - check in advance the price of living in a nice restaurant lobster or shrimp Rapanu weigh at you and draw on a piece of the price for a "live goods" whether to enable the price of cooking there or not - it is better to clarify


- Undetermined person asks you for our money to where they were purchased, or they do not have to buy (or allegedly Services explorer, guide, etc.)

- Problems with the motorbike, that rent out left and right, although the law does not have the right to rent, if you do not have the rights of the Vietnamese category A. Then the problems start, as a rule, in case of accidents, breakdowns, etc.

- Inattention to Vietnamese banknotes - see how much money is given by: 20 000 500 000 are similar to, and in the darkness of a taxi and 10 000 to 200 are similar

- Theft. Is immune from this one and nowhere, steal in big cities and crowded places (tear bag or carry your iPhone, thrown on the table of a sidewalk cafe guidebooks, maps, plates and other things), they steal the spa salons.

- Services "moths" and "prostitutes": cheat, steal, throw - as always, the moral aspect of the profession rather questionable, and hence also with other boooolshie morality can be a problem.
