The region features a vast array of temperaments and while extreme conditions such as typhoons are rare, they can occur. May to November is the rainy season and monsoons can conjure up high winds and heavy rain. Dont pack your suitcase with thongs and flip-flops only. Ensure you have adequate clothing to deal with any eventuality.A beautiful day on road (Motorbiking Ho Chi Minh trail tour)
