Ready for an epic adventure in Vietnam? Whether you want sunny skies or lush landscapes, this country has something for everyone, any time of the year!

March and April are absolute winners, with milder rain and perfect temperatures. Picture yourself strolling through vibrant streets without worrying about sudden downpours! For an unforgettable trek through Sapa’s enchanting rice paddies, mark your calendar for August to December when the fog clears, revealing breathtaking vistas.

Now, let’s talk monsoon season. From May to October, rain is in the forecast, but don’t let that dampen your spirits! Just be prepared with a raincoat and get ready to snag some great deals. If beach hopping is your thing, remember to secure your coastal accommodations in advance due to the summer tourism buzz.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Language: The official language in Vietnam is Vietnamese.

Currency: The currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong.

Credit Cards and ATMs: No worries, finding ATMs in major cities like Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi is a breeze. Visa cards are widely accepted, but remember that Cirrus and Maestro might not have the same luck.

Plugs:Vietnam uses types A, C, and F plugs, so be sure to bring a universal adapter with surge protection. Oh, and don’t forget the converter for your hairdryer and hot tools!

Safety: While exploring Vietnam, I felt pretty safe, but it’s good to be cautious. Keep an eye on your phone when walking around, especially in busy places like Ho Chi Minh, where phone snatching can happen on the go.

Daniel Jackson shot supermodel Christy Turlington and Calvin Klein creative directors Francisco Costa, Italo Zucchelli and Kevin Carrigan for WSJ. Magazine. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain…
But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
