Hi guys, Am here again to seek suggestions for my forthcoming trip to Vietnam. I'll have 10 days in Vietnam. Though I've been to and around Hanoi thrice and Saigon several times, it will be my first time in DaNang, Hue, Hoi An and My Son - the places I'm planning to visit this time. I'll be flying from and back to KL (then onward to Surabaya in Indonesia). Can anyone suggest a good itinerary involving these places for a 10 day journey? I was thinking of staying in DaNang for 2-3 days, then move to Hoi An and see the place. If it's possible, I could probably see My Son from Hoi An - through day tours from a guesthouse. Transit in DaNang then go to Hue before heading back to Danang for my flight out of Vietnam. Can anyone critique on this itinerary? Which leg of the trip could I visit the Marble Mountain? Though I hardly use day tours in all my travels all over Asia, I avoid doing DIY's in Vietnam (got scammed in Hanoi twice involving taxi drivers - on my 3rd visit yet, despite all precautions) thus I prefer taking day tours from my guesthouses (cheaper, easier, faster). Another question: Which area of Danang is a better place to get an accommodation from? The beachside? Most of the guesthouses I've been checking out via Agoda aren't beachside. I was just thinking of a place that's accessible for moving around. Which day tours should I take and from where? How's the taxi ride from the DaNang Airport? Any special tips? I have read on them but I always ask for suggestions from those who've "blazed the trail" so to speak - and traveled to these places. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Interests include temples and those world heritage sights, some museums. Not much into long hikes. Just want to see the villages and how people live over there. Thanks in advance.... Read More »
