Answer 1

looks like uve got everything covered

lol

hope uve got plenty time to fit it all in

hotels are really cheap and even the really small ones will offer u a few diff tours of the area. dont book tours b4 u go as ull end up paying 3 or 4 times the amount for the same tours

i stayed in hanoi for 4 nites last year. went on 2 tours inc an over nite to halong bay and all it cost was £80 and that was with meals on the tours!!!!!!!

sadly never had time to go to cambodia but i think the set up is much the same

even if u hired a driver while u were there it woodnt cost very much

it is just so cheap

have fun

Two tips:

1. Drop Dalat off the itinerary. It takes a day to get there and it's really not worth it.

2. Make sure you visit the American War Crimes museum when in HCMC.

Answer 3

When you are in Hue find the cafe that Mr do or Mr Silver ( he has two names) runs. He has one of the best tours that I have ever been on. I know that it is in the Lonely planet vietnam book. It is worth looking into. Also I stayed at the Mahogany guesthouse in Siem Reap. I liked it. What ever you do, if you are going the cheaper route do not book ANYTHING a head of time. You will never have a problem finding a place to stay and it is nice to see the room that you are going to stay in before you pay for it. If you want to have some cheap clothes made look for some pictures of what you want now to take with you. In Hoi An the intire town is geared towards making cloths for the foreigners. So take pictures and it won't cost that much, its worth it. Don't forget Phenom Phen! It is worth going to this city. Go there to see the killing fields, S21 prison, beautiful temples! Also a popular thing to do there is going to a shooting range. Shoot a AK47 for 20 bucks and you get to keep your paper man. It was one of the best things I did when I was there. If you have more questions feel free to email me.

Answer 4

Hi there,

We suggest you take out Dalat and it will take you some 16 days to cover Vietnam and Angkor Wat. If you like beach stay, please add in some days for Phan Thiet.

There are many hotel categories for you to choose from. Please visit us at www.directravelasia.com or email me directly at [e-mail] for further details.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
