FAQ

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best time of year to book Thailand and Vietnam journeys?

The best time to book those tours is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April. During this period, both countries enjoy pleasant weather with less rainfall, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. In Thailand, this is also the peak tourist season, especially in places like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and the southern islands. In Vietnam, the weather is favorable for exploring the northern regions like Hanoi and Halong Bay, as well as the central and southern parts. Booking during this period ensures you have the best conditions to enjoy your tour.

2. Which airline operates domestic flights? What is the baggage allowance?

You will be flying with either Vietnam Airlines or Bamboo Airways, the two top-rated airlines in the country. We avoid using low-cost carriers to ensure a smooth and comfortable travel experience.

For baggage, you are allowed 7 to 12 kilos of hand luggage and 20 to 23 kilos of checked luggage, depending on the airline. Any excess baggage typically costs around 3 to 5 USD per extra kilo, payable directly at check-in.

3. When is the best time to hike in different regions of Vietnam?

At Kampá Tour, we recommend the following times for hiking in Vietnam based on our extensive experience:

  • North Vietnam: The best time to hike is in October, November, and December. The weather is cool and dry during these months, meaning the trails aren’t too muddy, and visibility is generally good.
  • Central Vietnam: We suggest hiking in the spring months of March, April, and May. It’s usually sunny but not too hot, and rainstorms tend to be brief.
  • South Vietnam: The south is hot all year, but there is some respite during the winter months of December and January, making this the best time to trek in this region.

These recommendations ensure you have a pleasant and enjoyable hiking experience across Vietnam.

4. Is 10 days enough to see the highlights of Vietnam?

Yes, 10 days is enough to see many of the highlights of Vietnam. With our well-planned itinerary, you can experience the vibrant cities, historic sites, stunning landscapes, and rich culture. Focusing on key regions such as the north, central, and south can provide a comprehensive overview of the country's diverse attractions.

5. How do I handle currency exchange and payments during this tour?

Handling currency exchange and payments during this tour involves exchanging money at reputable exchange counters or using ATMs to withdraw local currency. Each country has its own currency (Vietnamese Dong, Cambodian Riel, and Thai Baht), so plan to carry some cash in each. Credit cards are widely accepted in major cities and tourist areas, but it’s advisable to have cash for small purchases and in rural areas. Notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any issues with card usage.

6. How do I balance relaxation and adventure in a 2-week Vietnam itinerary?

Balancing relaxation and adventure in this itinerary involves planning a mix of activities that cater to both. Incorporate adventurous activities like trekking, biking, and water sports with relaxation time at beaches, spas, and scenic spots. Kampá Tour will ensure your itinerary has a good mix of high-energy days followed by more leisurely days to rest and recharge.
