We do not include international flights in our travel packages for economic reasons. The cost of international tickets tends to be higher if we handle them from Vietnam. Although it may seem strange, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, flight tickets are usually cheaper when purchased from the departure country. If you would like information about airlines or tips for finding cheaper tickets, please feel free to contact us.
Vietnam experiences a diverse climate from north to south, owing to its varied topography and the country's considerable length (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, the other can be pleasantly sunny in contrast. Based on our experience, the optimal time to visit Vietnam is from October to April.
Within this timeframe, the best months are October to November and March to May. During these periods, the weather remains pleasant, and, additionally, they are the least rainy months of the year in Vietnam. While July and August can be a bit hot (30-35 degrees Celsius), Halong Bay typically enjoys sunny weather. You'll also have the opportunity to witness the region adorned with endless terraced green or yellow rice fields.
Regarding the southern region, despite it being the rainy season, precipitation usually lasts for only an hour or two each day, with the rest of the day being sunny. If you already have a specific timeframe in mind for your trip (winter, summer, etc.), please inform us, and we can provide guidance on the most favorable months.

Hiking Ta Xua Peak in Son La without a guide is not recommended due to its challenging and wild terrain. It is easy to get lost in the jungle.
Visa requirements for those countries vary by nationality. Thailand offers visa-free entry or visas on arrival for many travelers. Cambodia provides an e-Visa system and visas on arrival at major entry points. Vietnam typically requires a visa, which can be obtained through the e-Visa system or a visa on arrival. Check the latest visa requirements for each country and ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
To deal with language barriers in Vietnam in 2 weeks, learn a few basic Vietnamese phrases, use translation apps like Google Translate when your guide isn't around, carry a phrasebook, and be patient and polite. Many young Vietnamese people and those working in tourism speak some English, so don't hesitate to ask for help.
A 3-week journey in Vietnam offers several benefits:
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.
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.

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.
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.
