Best time to go.
The best time to visit Vietnam is from November to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. This period is ideal for exploring the country from north to south.
Time difference.
Vietnam is 5 hours behind New Zealand. The time difference is manageable, but you might need a day or two to fully adjust
