Hi,

I'm looking at travelling to Vietnam in March - April 2010 and looking for any advice on the best part to go where i can not only see plenty of sites (architecture, war memorials, temples etc) but also relax on the beach in a nice but not too expensive hotel. I suppose the advice i'm looking for is where in Vietnam is the closest thing to Thailand's Phuket?

Thanks in advance.

Hi you,
with your trip you plan in March or April of 2010. You can stay and take a tour around Hanoi city to visit the French - architecture like Opera house, ethnology, art, army musuem. And fly to Nha Trang or Hoi An (ancient city ) where you can engjoy beaches with white sand coast.And do forget 1 attractive place in the north, that is Sapa where you can trek to the mountain, trek to the ethnic village.
Thank you
