Vietnam or Laos? Which country would you recommend for a short trip?
Am planning a holiday - will have about two and a half weeks of sightseeing time in late Feb and early March. Flights will probably be in and out of Bangkok.
We're looking to experience the culture and some relaxing time. We like ruins, beaches, fabulous scenery. Happy to go walking but not trekking for days.
If you've been, which country did you enjoy most? Is there a route in either country that'd give us a good taste of the region?
I should have said that I've already been to Thailand as well as Cambodia (to see Angkor Wat) on a previous trip. Enjoyed both destinations very much but now looking to explore somewhere new...
I've been to both and really enjoyed them. I really would love to go back and see more of each country so am very jealous of you.
If i had to choose then I think I'd go for Vietnam as i saw more of that country as i spent 2 months there as opposed to 2 weeks in Laos.
You could start in the South (Ho Chi Minh City) and work your way up to the North (Hanoi) finishing in Howlong Bay.
My advice is to get a copy of Lonely Planet for Vietnam which will give plenty of advice for different budgets and length of stays along with loads of useful travel info.
There is a tour you can do called the 'Easy Rider' (which is my dream to go back and do), i don't know if you'd like this considering your only going for 2 weeks, but get the Lonely Planet and it will tell you all about it.
You'll have a fantastic time where ever you go as long as you make sure you do!
Happy travels and all the best.
