Vietnam During Tet: Bad Idea?
Planning a trip to Vietnam and wondering if it is a good or bad thing
to be there during Tet. I know travel is difficult, but if we can book our flights OK, are there any other reasons to either avoid that time or try to be there? |

Vietnam During Tet: Bad Idea?
We stayed in HCMC this year over Tet after deciding to avoid Thailand a few
weeks before leaving because of their problems. We arrived in HCMC Jan 20 and left by train to Nha Trang Jan 26, right after Tet fireworks. The park flowers were spectacular before Tet, by the time we returned from the north they seemed barren. Getting rail tickets north to Nha Trang a bit later was a bit of a problem at the last minute (hard seats only) but we were lucky to have good help from our hotel (Blue River). We flew back to HCMC from Hue about Feb 8 and by then things had quieted. "Walt Bilofsky" wrote in message ...

No, not the war. It's just a difficult time to get plane
reservations. Anyone have tips or recommendations for Tet in Saigon? " A Mate" wrote: The Vietnamese have long since moved on from the War! What other reason would there be to NOT be there then.

In case you didn't see my earlier posting ...
We stayed in HCMC this year over Tet after deciding to avoid Thailand a few weeks before leaving because of their problems. We arrived in HCMC Jan 20 and left by train to Nha Trang Jan 26, right after Tet fireworks. The park flowers were spectacular before Tet and also on the river boats heading to HCMC as we did a Mekong tour; by the time we returned from the north the parks seemed barren. All the restaurants were busy but we always managed to find a table. Getting rail tickets north just after the was a bit of a problem near the last minute (hard seats only on the first leg - not fun!) but we were lucky to have good free help from our manager at Blue River Hotel. We arrived in HCMC Jan 20 and she started working on our transport that evening and had everything sorted before Jan 24. We flew back to HCMC from Hue about Feb 8 and by then things had quieted.

Thanks for the info. I see both your posts now.
So in HCMC during Tet, is it better to just walk around or are there particular things we should plan to see? Where are the fireworks? "don" wrote: In case you didn't see my earlier posting ...
