Vietnam surf spot guide
On this page: | Surf spots / regions | Vietnam Surf Travel Forum
Location: Southeastern Asia, bordering the Gulf of Thailand, Gulf of Tonkin, and South China Sea, alongside China, Laos, and Cambodia
Coordinates: 16 00 N, 106 00 E
Coastline: 3,444 km
Language: Vietnamese (official), English (increasingly favored as a second language), some French, Chinese, and Khmer; mountain area languages (Mon-Khmer and Malayo-Polynesian)
Safety: Travel in Vietnam is generally safe and violent crime is uncommon. Pick-pocketing is rife, and in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) drive-by purse snatching is a common trick. It is best to leave valuables in a secure hotel safe and avoid obvious displays of wealth. During the monsoon season (usually between June and October) the country is prone to serious flooding, particularly the Mekong Delta and Central Region, and has resulted in isolation of areas and damage to infrastructure.
Communications: The international country code is +84. The outgoing code is 00, followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 001 for the United States or Canada). Internal area codes are used (Hanoi 4). GSM 900 mobile networks cover the major urban areas. Internet cafes are available in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Internet access is often available at post offices in rural areas.
Climate : Vietnam has a tropical climate in the south that ranges to subtropical in the north, while both are dominated by the monsoons. North Vietnam is characterized by a hot and humid wet season from mid May to mid September as well as a warm and humid dry season from mid October to mid March with two short transition periods. In the south the seasons come later and in Central Vietnam rainfall is heaviest between September and January when the coast is subject to tropical storms. Average annual precipitation in Hanoi is 1,830 mm (72 inches) with areas in the Annamite Mountains exceeding 4,060 mm (160 inches). Average temperature ranges in Hanoi are from 17 degrees Celsius (63 degrees Fahrenheit) in January to 29 degrees Celsius (84 degrees Fahrenheit) in June.
