“For an unforgettable food experience, visit Nang Loeng Market in Bangkok. It’s one of the city’s oldest markets, packed with family-run stalls serving incredible traditional dishes – and it’s far quieter than the more famous spots.”

The Best Times to Go on a Holiday in Vietnam
The best time for off-the-beaten-track Vietnam travel is generally October to April, when dry, cooler conditions make exploring more comfortable, especially in remote northern regions. Spring (March to May) is excellent for trekking, while the green season (May to September) transforms the countryside into lush, verdant terrain, perfect for photography and crowd-free exploration.
We’ll help you pick the best season for your route and interests, so your experience hits just the right notes.

We select hotels and homestays that reflect the soul of rural Vietnam. Whether it’s a stilted lodge in the northern hills or a barefoot bungalow beside a secret bay, every stay adds to the experience. Feel character, warmth, and genuine connection.

From Our Travelogue
The Best Experiences in Vietnam
Off-track Vietnam is all about texture and detail. You might hike misty trails in Ha Giang, visit traditional communities in the Mekong Delta, or take the overnight train to a coastal village with no road access. Share meals in stilt houses, learn farming techniques from locals, or boat through karst caves no one else seems to know about. We’ll combine those hidden experiences with just the right amount of downtime—maybe in a riverside eco-lodge or a tiny beach hideaway.
