I must say that I was surprised by Vietnam. I visited several months before travel came to a halt and was impressed by the development and beauty of the country. I love that Vietnam has been able to shed the images from the war era and can’t wait to visit again.

In reply to Denise & Ryne. You're welcome! Enjoy your time in Vietnam. If you're looking for another island to visit instead of Phu Quoc Island, you can try Con Dao Islands. It's much quieter than Phu Quoc.

Thank you for this detailed post! We’ll be in Vietnam in a few days and this really helped us. Are there any alternatives to Phu Quoc?

In reply to Iuliana Marchian. Thanks Iuliana. We haven't been to southern Thailand but heard good things about the beaches. Hope this South Vietnam itinerary motivates you to plan a trip here.

I have never been to Vietnam but the islands I visited in the south of Thailand are so similar with the beauty I see you have on Phu Quoc Island. I think it is part of any traveler’s dream to lay on a beach, under a coconut tree and have a lodging in the palm grove. These parts of the world are so great and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your local insight with us.

In reply to Laurence. Laurence - There is too much to see in Vietnam. We're still traveling through the country slowly and we live here! Motorbike and scooter are used interchangeably and are easy to rent. The challenge is navigating through the traffic, especially in large cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Vietnam always intrigues me for so many vibrant things to do. Thanks for sharing a detailed guide on South Vietnam. I would love to visit Po Nagar Towers (Tháp Bà Ponagar) for knowing more about Champa civilisation.

Wow, 2 weeks is more than enough for me, but reading your post, I guess there’s so much to do in Vietnam. I’ve always wanted to visit the floating market, just curious, how they do it. And you can rent a motorbike, is it more like a scooter thing?
