▶️In general, you can travel to Asia without worrying too much about the epidemic situation.
The latest regulations still need to be updated. Asking our consulting team is a suggestion for you. Since then, our agency has successfully organized hundreds of trips in Asia. Photos and testimonials from travelers are published on our website in the Testimonials from our travelers section!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As an approximate guideline, the cost of a 2-week trip to Vietnam would be around 1450$ per person when traveling as a pair (excluding airfare). For a 3 or 4-week journey, please budget between 1900$ and 2500$ per person. If you're in a larger group (4 or 6 people), the trip will be more cost-effective. The price always varies depending on the duration and time of your stay, as well as your preferences (activities, services). Please leave us a quote request, and our travel advisor will provide you with more detailed information and a quote.
Vietnam is well connected to major international airlines. If you're traveling from the USA, the UK, Canada, or Australia, you can choose from airlines like Vietnam Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific, which offer flights to Vietnam’s major cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, often with layovers in major hubs like Doha, Dubai, or Singapore.
From the USA and Canada, popular airlines include ANA, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, and EVA Air, which usually include layovers in cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, or Taipei.
If you’re departing from the UK or Australia, you can also explore direct or one-stop options with British Airways, Qantas, or Malaysia Airlines, which typically stop in Southeast Asian hubs.
For the best deals, visit airline websites directly or use flight comparison tools like Skyscanner, Google Flights, or Kayak.
