Vietnam at Xmas?

[alfaman]

Hi all. Am based in Singapore : thinking of Xmas options in Asia ( rather than an expensive flight to freeze in the UK)

Anyone know what either Hanoi / Ho Chi Minh / or other parts of Vietnam are like in December / January?

Worth visiting? Idea would be some cultural sites plus maybe halong bay and some parts further south towards Ho Chi Minh.

Is 9-10'days enough to see 2 or 3 areas?

Thoughts and ideas ( and for other options in Asia for Xmas )?

( have already been to Phuket / Krabi / phi phi etc ... )

Thanks for any advice..

I don't really bother with Christmas, but it actually a big thing even in Muslim KL, and once I went to Batam, with Christmas day In Sing, but its a family thing, what we do if in Asia is book the all in Charlemagne Lunch at one of the big hotels, about 100US$ in Malaysia all you can eat, traditional food and unlimited champagne, I've done that in Thailand as well so I assume it is an option in Vietnam.
I did Air Asia to Australia the other week, flat bed business class, brilliant and cheap, that an option if you want a formal 'christin' country.

Hanoi will be getting quite cold now, but HCMC will be good. Don't know much about what they lay on Christmas wise though.
