Don’t be afraid of eating on the street - cheap but amazing food.

Hoi Anh, Mekong Delta (Cao Dai temples are beautiful), one of my favorites was staying on a junk (boat hotel) in Ha Long Bay, but that's in the North near Hanoi. The locals are great guides as well!

I’d rethink Hoi An this time of the year. It’s raining season and when I was there last week it was pretty much downpour nonstop for 4 days

HCM is a great city. Lots of fun easy to explore.

The currency is Dong... Hehehe

Don’t plan food. Just stop somewhere and eat what everyone else is eating. Hanoi is awesome. Visas can be tricky. Definitely get it before you go (at a minimum you have to apply for it like 3 days before you go).

Extend your trip to a month, bike a motorbike in Saigon and ride up the coast to Hanoi. You will not regret it.
