warning in may the weather is not the same depending on the city and regions of the country.
That month is not the best month to travel to in Vietnam. The weather in Mũi Né, Halong Bay, Hanoi and Phan Thiet is just ok. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. However, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation travel but rather city tours, this climate may suit. In addition, there are surely fewer tourists at this time.
But it is finally better than in Nha Trang, Huế, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, Sapa (North Vietnam), Da Nang, Dalat and Phu Quoc island (Koh Trol) and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to go to these areas in may.
