The coast east of Ho Chi Minh City is the driest in Vietnam, which makes this an excellent winter escape when the north is grey and the centre is wet.
December to April is peak season, with steady winds for kitesurfing in Mui Ne. In the rainy season (May–November) expect short afternoon showers rather than washed-out days.
