The dry season from mid-October to April is ideal for visiting Cambodia due to its mild weather, clear blue skies, and minimal rainfall. From May to September, although it is the rainy season, the rain typically lasts only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny, making sightseeing still possible.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to reach Cambodia by air. You can take a flight from Ho Chi Minh City (or Hanoi) to Siem Reap and dedicate the rest of your trip to exploring the magnificent Angkorian temples.

For American, Australian, and United Kingdom's citizens, there is no visa exemption for stays in Vietnam. You will need to apply for a visa before their trip. An e-visa is recommended, which can be easily requested online on the Vietnamese Immigration website.
You can obtain a visa on arrival at international airports (Phnom Penh/Siem Reap) or at border ports, including the one on the Mekong River during a boat transfer from southern Vietnam to Phnom Penh. Our agency assists you with all the visa application procedures when booking your trip. 

Yes, Thailand and Laos share borders with Cambodia and Vietnam. It is possible to add Laos or Thailand to your trip, but you will need to extend your journey by at least 5-7 days. You can travel from Cambodia to Laos or Thailand by land or by air. The same applies for traveling from Vietnam to Laos.

Yes, it is possible to start the trip in Cambodia (in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap) and finish it in Vietnam (in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Our travel advisor will tailor the itinerary to your request.

From Vietnam, you can travel to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by river (taking a boat up the Mekong River from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.

A panoramic tour of both countries will take you at least 15 days. With a few more days or an additional week, you can explore Vietnam more deeply by discovering its authentic northern mountains or relaxing on one of its beautiful beaches (Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc). Alternatively, you can enjoy a beach in Cambodia (in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).

Vietnam has a varied climate from north to south due to its diverse topographies and the length of the country (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, another may be pleasantly sunny. Based on our experience, the best time to visit Vietnam is from October to April. During this period, the best months are October to November and mid-March to May. These are the times when the climate remains pleasant and, moreover, they are the least rainy months of the year in Vietnam. For the months of July and August, it is a bit hot (30-35 degrees), but Halong Bay is usually sunny. You will also have the chance to see the region colored by green or yellow rice terraces stretching as far as the eye can see. As for the south, although it is the rainy season, the rain will not last all day but only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny. The climate in Cambodia is quite similar to that in southern Vietnam.

If you already have an idea about the time of your trip (winter, summer...), please let us know, and we can guide you on the most favorable months.

If your trip includes multiple days of hiking, you can bring hiking shoes. Otherwise, a good pair of sneakers will suffice.

The walks and hikes offered in our tours are of easy to moderate difficulty level and typically last for 3-5 hours per day. However, the duration and difficulty of the hikes depend on your fitness level. You can shorten or extend the duration of the hikes according to your preferences. This private program can be customized on-site.

All our tours are private and tailor-made, and we can certainly customize the itinerary by combining must-see sites with off-the-beaten-path excursions. Feel free to let us know your preferences, and our advisors will be able to accommodate your every request.

It's certainly the North, which comprises the Northeast and Northwest mountains. Located along the country's Laotian and Chinese borders, Northern Vietnam's mountains boast incredibly wild and breathtaking landscapes: limestone peaks and vast rolling hills as far as the eye can see, lush valleys with stunning terraced rice fields, winding roads and switchbacks on the mountain slopes. It's also the only region where the culture of minority ethnic groups remains strongly present: traditional villages, unique customs, colorful attire, and vibrant weekly markets. The region is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts, those interested in ethnic culture, and travelers looking to venture off the beaten path.

In general, the best time to visit Northern Vietnam is from September to November and from March to May. During this range of months, temperatures remain very pleasant, and there is less rainfall.

Yes, you can go hiking in Northern Vietnam. A large part of the Northern region is covered by lush mountains, making it an ideal area for hiking amidst nature and through villages of ethnic minorities. From west to east, it hosts several trekking sites such as the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, the Sapa and Bac Ha region with its endless terraced rice fields, Ha Giang & Hoang Su Phi with some of the country's most impressive landscapes. You can go on hikes of varying difficulty levels, from easy to moderate, for short to long durations, following off-the-beaten-path routes, depending on your preferences.

Certainly, we offer hotels and resorts that are situated directly on the beaches. This will allow you to fully enjoy your stay and relax to the fullest.

The recommended beach resorts depend on the time of your trip. As mentioned in the previous response, if you're traveling during the winter and spring (from November to April), we suggest Nha Trang, Phu Yen, and Vung Tau, which are beach resorts located on the southeast coast of the country. Alternatively, you can choose Con Dao or Phu Quoc, two islands located on the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Thailand, respectively. If you're traveling during the summer and autumn (from May to October), the beaches in Da Nang and Hoi An would be perfect choices.

Vietnam has a varied climate from north to south due to its different topographies and the length of the country (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, the other, on the contrary, can be pleasantly sunny. A classic tour from north to south with a beach break during or at the end of the journey can be done throughout the year. If you travel in winter and spring (from November to April), it is recommended to spend your beach stay in the southern part of the country, such as Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Con Dao, or Phu Quoc. If you travel in summer and autumn (from May to October), the beaches of Da Nang and Hoi An will be suitable.

Yes, you can either have a beach break in Vietnam (on the beaches of Hoi An, Nha Trang, or Phu Quoc) or in Cambodia (beaches in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).

Yes, you can certainly add a beach stay to your trip. Vietnam has several beautiful beaches in the central and southern regions of the country, including Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, and Phu Quoc.

An extension to Cambodia or Laos is also possible due to the proximity of these two countries to Vietnam. From the North, you can travel to Laos by land or air. From the South, you can reach Cambodia by traveling up the Mekong River by boat. Please contact us for more information.

If you are traveling with young children, we always try to arrange either family rooms or connecting rooms or rooms next to each other. However, not all hotels in our country have family rooms, and these rooms are usually in high demand in July and August, the peak vacation period for families. Therefore, we recommend booking your trip early to ensure the availability of the services according to your preferences.

Regarding accommodation, almost all 3-4 star hotels in our country have baby cots, but we can only provide a definitive confirmation for each hotel after we have made reservations.

Our cars are not equipped with child seats. Children in our country typically do not have special seats in the car, but parents often place them beside them or on their laps.

Most of the transfers will be done by car, but we also offer various types of transportation during your family trip, such as cyclo-pousse, bicycles, rowboats, or boats. You can also choose to spend a night on a train, all of which will provide you and your children with diverse experiences.

During your family trip, we certainly offer several fun activities for your children during the journey: meeting new Vietnamese 'friends' by staying with local families, cycling, boating, kayaking, and visiting artisanal product workshops.

Vietnam boasts diverse landscapes and an authentic culture, ensuring an experience that will satisfy all your desires.

During your family trip to Vietnam, don't miss the essential destinations:

In the North: Explore Hanoi, the enchanting capital, immerse yourself in the beauty of Ninh Binh's terrestrial Halong Bay, and, most importantly, visit the wonderful Halong Bay with a memorable cruise. If time allows, experience the authenticity of the Northern mountains by embarking on hikes and staying with the locals, creating unforgettable memories for your children.

In the Central region: Dive into history by visiting Hue, the former imperial city, and discover Hoi An, a city with a myriad of activities.

In the South: Immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh City and explore the magic of the Mekong Delta.

At the end of your journey, you can relax in a beach resort like Mui Ne or Nha Trang for a grand finale before your return.

We don't impose a deadline, but it's best that you book your trips, as well as the circuit itself, as soon as possible. In fact, the earlier we make reservations, the better the services will be, knowing that the most appreciated providers often lack availability. Therefore, our clients often book their trip 4 to 6 months in advance.

Yes, you can set a period with the weeks that suits you best or allows you to buy the cheapest flight tickets. Then we will tailor our program for you. Keep in mind that being an agency specialized in tailor-made trips, we know how to design a tour according to your availability.

It is a formula according to which your tour is designed according to your wishes for dates, length of stay and services, taking into account your centers of interest and your budget. A local advisor from the agency accompanies you in the preparation of the itinerary and the development of your trips. This way you benefit from an organized trip, adapted in every detail to your wishes and limitations.

The first thing to know is that generally the weather in Thailand is hot and humid in most of the country for much of the year. The climate is influenced by the tropical monsoons, which divide the climate into three seasons: the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season.

The rainy season or southwest monsoon occurs from mid-May to mid-October. This monsoon mainly affects southwestern Thailand, including central and northern cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, as well as the coastal areas of Phuket and Krabi. During this period, rainfall is heavier, especially in August and September. If you plan to visit the beaches, you may want to avoid Phuket and Krabi during this season. However, if you still want to enjoy the beach, the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Angthong usually have more favourable weather at that time.

It's important to note that even though the rainy season isn't the best time to visit Thailand, this doesn't mean you can't. Rainfall is usually intermittent, with periods of heavy rain followed by sunshine. This means that you can still visit the destinations without any hassle. In addition, traveling during the rainy season can give you a unique and different experience, and it is also the off-season of tourism in Thailand, so the costs are usually lower and more reasonable.

Undoubtedly, if the weather is your main concern when planning your trip to Thailand, we recommend considering the dry season, which runs from November to February. During this period, Thailand experiences its dry season, with sunny days and little rainfall. The climate is very pleasant, it is not too hot and it does not rain often, which makes it ideal for tourist activities and exploring the country.

However, keep in mind that this is also the busiest period for tourists in Thailand, so you may find higher prices and more people in popular destinations.

Additionally, there may be weather variations in different parts of the country, so it's important to do your research and take into account the specific conditions of the regions you plan to visit.

We will be happy to assist you and provide you with more information about the weather and any other queries you may have for your trip to Thailand.

Due to the terrain and geographical location, the climate in Vietnam is quite diverse from north to south.

When one area is wet, cold, or rainy, another may be sunny and dry. In our experience, the best time to travel to Vietnam is from October to April. More specifically, the best months are from October to November and mid-March to May, when the weather is pleasant, with little rainfall, conducive to a variety of tourist activities.

In July and August it is a bit hot (30-35 degrees), but Ha Long Bay is usually sunny. You'll also have the chance to see the northern mountains adorned with green or yellow rice fields and terraces that stretch as far as the eye can see. Meanwhile, in the south it's the rainy season, but the rains don't last all day, just an hour or two. The remaining days are sunny.

No, therefore a client of ours has to hire it personally on their behalf. These insurances are not expensive and you can get them easily. Our travelers often have contracts with large international insurance companies or those from their home countries.

Another topic that gets a lot of attention in Thailand's tourism is vaccination.

According to the latest announcements in October 2022, there is no mandatory vaccination to enter Thailand, including the Covid-19 vaccine. Only Argentines are exempt and need to be certified as a yellow fever vaccine to enter the country. Although not required, there are some major recommended vaccines, such as the hepatitis A, tetanus-diphtheria, and typhoid vaccine.

If you are still concerned about vaccination, you can consult the international vaccination center, your doctor, or the Thai embassy in your country for more information.

For tourists from the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and most EU countries, a Thailand Tourist Visa is issued by a Thai Embassy, Consulate, or e-visa system for tourism purposes, unlike the 60-day visa exemption (extendable by 30 days) granted on arrival. Work is not allowed.

• Single-Entry Tourist Visa: Valid for 3 months, allows a 60-day stay (extendable by 30 days), available from Thai embassies/consulates or e-visa portal. Each person applies individually.
• Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa: Valid for 6 months, permits multiple 60-day stays (each extendable by 30 days), obtainable through the same channels.
• Requirements: Passport (6+ months validity), application form, photo, onward travel proof, financial proof (10,000 THB/person or 20,000 THB/family), and accommodation proof. 

If you are a citizen of the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, or Belarus, you can enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 45 days. Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic have a special exemption from March 1 to December 31, 2025 for organized tours.

If you are from the US, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand, you must obtain a visa before arrival. The E-Visa (valid for up to 90 days) is the easiest option, available online in 3-5 days. Visa on Arrival (VOA) requires a pre-approval letter, or you can apply at a Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate.

To avoid issues, apply early, ensure your passport is valid for 6+ months, and have proof of onward travel. The E-Visa is recommended for convenience. Please contact us for visa assistance.

We do not include international flights in our quotes for economic reasons. Indeed, the cost of international tickets will be more expensive if we handle them from Vietnam. Although it may seem strange, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, airfares tend to be more affordable when purchased from the country of departure. If you would like more specific information about airlines and tips for finding cheap tickets, please contact us.

If you are from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, or Belarus, you do not need a visa for Vietnam for stays up to 45 days. Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic have a special exemption from March 1 to December 31, 2025, for organized tours.

Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States are NOT visa-exempt and must obtain a visa before arrival. You have three options:

1. E-Visa (valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry) – Apply online through the Vietnamese Immigration website (processing time 3-5 days).
2. Visa on Arrival (VOA) – Available only for air travelers, requiring a pre-approval letter from an authorized travel agency.
3. Visa through a Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate – Apply in person or by mail in your home country.

For the smoothest process, we highly recommend the E-Visa. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months and have proof of onward travel. Contact us for visa assistance.

For French citizens, you are exempt from a visa for a stay of up to 15 days in Vietnam. For travelers of other nationalities (such as Belgians, Swiss, Canadians, etc.), an E-visa is recommended, and this type of visa can be easily applied for online on the Vietnamese Immigration website. The Cambodian visa can be obtained directly upon arrival at an international airport in Cambodia (Phnom Penh/Siem Reap) or at the border port on the Mekong (during your boat transfer from southern Vietnam to Phnom Penh). Our agency will assist you with all the visa application procedures when booking your trip.

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.

No specific vaccines are required, including the COVID-19 vaccine, by Vietnamese authorities for entry into Vietnam. As for malaria, vaccination is recommended if you're going on a tour with consecutive days of hiking in the forest and spending many nights with local residents. Otherwise, a mosquito repellent product is more than sufficient.

A SIM card allows you to access the internet throughout Vietnam and make calls and send messages as you wish. The average price of a SIM card in Vietnam ranges from 2 to a maximum of 8 euros, depending on the internet capacity and various features. You can purchase it at the airport or in stores in major cities.

Tipping for guides and drivers is not included in the quote and is not mandatory. However, it is common to show appreciation to guides and drivers with a tip, and the amount is at your discretion.

As a rough guideline, consider 3 - 6 USD per traveler per day for the guide and half of that (2-3 USD per person per day) for the driver. Tips in Euro, USD, or Dong (local currency) should be given at the end of each stage of the journey (when you are definitively parting ways with the guide/driver to move to another region).

All other small tips for cyclo drivers, rowers, boatmen, porters, etc., are included and will be handled by our guide, so you can travel more comfortably.

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.

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.

North Vietnam trips offer a rich array of highlights, including the vibrant capital city of Hanoi, with its bustling Old Quarter and historical sites such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Temple of Literature. Another must-see is Halong Bay, renowned for its stunning limestone karsts and emerald waters, perfect for a scenic cruise. Sapa, with its terraced rice fields and ethnic minority villages, provides a glimpse into rural life and breathtaking landscapes. Additionally, the ancient city of Ninh Binh, often referred to as "Halong Bay on land," offers stunning scenery and the historic Trang An complex.

Northern Vietnam itineraries offer opportunities to see a variety of wildlife in different natural settings. In the national parks such as Cuc Phuong and Ba Be, you can encounter diverse flora and fauna, including rare species like the Delacour's langur and numerous bird species. Halong Bay is home to marine life, and while cruising, you might spot dolphins, fish, and various seabirds. In the rural and mountainous regions, you can see water buffalo, traditional livestock, and sometimes even wild pigs. These wildlife experiences add a unique dimension to your tour, allowing you to connect with Vietnam's natural heritage.

Some of the best hiking spots in Vietnam, especially in the North and Northwest, include Ky Quan San in Lao Cai, Pha Luong in Son La, Lao Than in Lao Cai, Ta Xua Peak in Son La, and Lung Cung in Yen Bai. These places offer stunning landscapes and challenging trails. It is highly recommended to hire a private guide (porter) from companies like Kampá Tour, which provides experienced English-speaking guides. The terrain in these areas is very wild and unknown, and navigating without a guide can be difficult and dangerous due to the risk of getting lost in the jungle.

The walks and hikes offered in our tours are of easy to moderate difficulty level and typically last for 3-5 hours per day. However, the duration and difficulty of the hikes depend on your fitness level. You can shorten or extend the duration of the hikes according to your preferences. This private program can be customized on-site.

If your trip includes multiple days of hiking, you can bring hiking shoes. Otherwise, a good pair of sneakers will suffice.

All our tours are private and tailor-made, and we can certainly customize the itinerary by combining must-see sites with off-the-beaten-path excursions. Feel free to let us know your preferences, and our advisors will be able to accommodate your every request.

Accommodations on those adventures range from luxury hotels to budget-friendly guesthouses, providing options to suit various preferences and budgets. In major cities like Hanoi, you can find high-end hotels with modern amenities, as well as charming boutique hotels that offer a more personalized experience. In places like Halong Bay, you might stay on a traditional junk boat, enjoying a unique overnight cruise. In Sapa and other rural areas, homestays with local families are the best-seller choice, offering an authentic cultural experience and a chance to connect with the local community. No matter where you stay, our accommodations are selected to provide comfort and convenience throughout your tour.

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.

All our tours are private and tailor-made, and we can certainly customize the itinerary by combining must-see sites with off-the-beaten-path excursions. Feel free to let us know your preferences, and our advisors will be able to accommodate your every request.

It's certainly the North, which comprises the Northeast and Northwest mountains. Located along the country's Laotian and Chinese borders, Northern Vietnam's mountains boast incredibly wild and breathtaking landscapes: limestone peaks and vast rolling hills as far as the eye can see, lush valleys with stunning terraced rice fields, winding roads and switchbacks on the mountain slopes. It's also the only region where the culture of minority ethnic groups remains strongly present: traditional villages, unique customs, colorful attire, and vibrant weekly markets. The region is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts, those interested in ethnic culture, and travelers looking to venture off the beaten path.

Among the country's three regions, the North, the Central, and the South, it's the North that is the most beautiful and interesting. For your first exploration, don't forget to visit the ancient capital of Hanoi, the land-based Halong Bay in Ninh Binh, and, most importantly, Halong Bay on a cruise. If time allows, take a detour to the Northern mountains, such as Sapa or Pu Luong, to discover stunning landscapes and diverse, authentic cultures.

If your trip includes multiple days of hiking, you can bring hiking shoes. Otherwise, a good pair of sneakers will suffice.

Terraced rice fields can be found in the Mai Chau, Pu Luong, Mu Cang Chai, and Sapa regions.

In Mai Chau and Pu Luong, there are two rice seasons each year: the first season is from February to May, and the second lasts from June to October.

As for Mu Cang Chai and Sapa, there is only one rice season per year, from May to September.

During the rest of the year, even though the fields may be empty, visits are still possible because these destinations not only feature rice fields but also pristine forests and, most importantly, ethnic villages with their traditional houses.
