Vietnam

[Spider Jerusalem]

I'm off for a short Visa run with my fiancee to Vietnam and am planning to take couple of days vacation there.

Any good tips on where to go? Budget is pretty low though...

if in HCMC I can recommend Vung Tao 1.5 hr boat ride down river to the coast. Nice old town area with cheap (USD30 range) hotels and lots of good cheap fish/seafood restaurants. The other side of the peninsula has got resort quality hotels (more expensive) and nicer beaches...

beware 04 Sept is a holiday and the place is likely to be busy/booked up...

Hanoi is exellent, you should be able to get return flights from bangkok with airasia for about

3000 baht and a good room in the old quarter which is the main tourist area will set you back about

300 a night and the best bit is that a glass of " bia hoi " cost just 4 baht.. yep 4 baht, $10 in your pocket will buy you 100 hundred glasses of this tasty little brew. Apparently its a czech recipe which contains no additives or preservaties so its got to be consumed on the day it leaves the brewery, its rocket fuel aswell so 1 or 2 dollars should see you're ok.
