Where to relax in Vietnam in August
Nice weather in August - in the central regions of Vietnam. Here the monsoon season is only gaining momentum. Many tourists rest in Hue, Hoi An and Dalat, but most of all in Nha Trang. Some speak positively about summer vacations. Others write that after storms, garbage is taken out on the coast.
Southern resorts like Fukuoka, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet should not be discounted. There are great beaches and a lot of entertainment. In the wet season, we advise you to settle closer to the sea, because coastal breezes make it easier to tolerate high humidity and stuffiness.
If you do not like the heat, but are calm about rainy weather, come to the Sapa mountain resort. At this time of the year, it is only + 20 ° С - the coolest place in Vietnam.
