Question

What's a good "OFF THE BEATEN PATH" place to visit in vn? & how do you get there from here ?

Answer 1

Come visit me and the family in Ben Tre. It's about as far off the path as an American can get lol. My Father-in-law is former VC, My wife is stubborn as a mule, my Mother-in-law loves me.

I don't know how I ever ended up here, but I'm the happiest I've ever been.

BTW: I hear the Mekong River tours are a lot of fun. Come help me collect coconuts lol.

Seriously, Get to know some Viets before you come. The country is beautiful but the people are better !

As far as getting there,,, I'd recomend flying.

Answer 2

Just don't go to touristy cities and famous towns like Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Hue, Danang, Hoian, Ho Chi Minh City, etc. If you do, go far a bit from the center. You will see how local people live.

Here are some you can consider: Lai Chau, Ninh Binh, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quy Nhon, Can Tho, Mekong Delta, Con Dao, Ca Mau, etc.

Or

Open this website http://vietnamtourism.com/e_pages/countr...

It's in "Vietnam - Country & People" now.

Go to the left bottom, to "Administrative Unit", choose any provinces which are not popular. There are things to see.

The best of Vietnam are the people in less famous cities / towns / villages.
