Vietnam in the blog

Thailand and Vietnam are the two most popular Asian destinations among tourists from Poland. On a tour operator's website they look similar: warm, exotic, affordable. In reality they offer a fundamentally different level of immersion, different infrastructure and different demands on your planning. We break both destinations down with climate data, prices and an honest answer — who should go where.

Vietnam stretches 1,650 kilometres, and its three climate zones run out of phase - so the question "when to fly to Vietnam" has no answer until you've chosen a region. We break down the north, centre and south separately, work out the budget, explain how the visa rules differ by passport, and cover what's known about LOT's direct flights from Warsaw to Hanoi.
