    Lunar New Year (approximate dates)

    Millions of people travel at this time: trains and flights are full and expensive, and many shops and restaurants close for several days.

    What to do: Book transport weeks in advance and expect closures for the first three days.

  • from September to December

    Torrential rain and typhoons

    From September to December it rains heavily in the centre; in October and November there are floods (Hoi An floods almost every year) and typhoons.

    What to do: At that time of year, the north (Hanoi, Ha Long) or the south (Saigon, the Mekong, Phu Quoc) are better.
