First time travelling to Vietnam, planning on going for about little more than 2 weeks, between mid/late February to early March. (I believe it might be chaos during Tet) I've started looking online at places, I've been considering to stay in the southern area, I heard its war during the specified period. Someone recommended Phu Quoc for the tropical beaches/island vibe, but I keep seeing reviews online saying the beaches are full of trash and rats. Should I go to Con Dao instead? I heard its quieter overall. I'm not a young buck any more, I don't care about going to nightclubs, but I don't want it to be a ghost town at night time. For example, last year I went to the Philippines, Coron was quieter overall compared to El Nido, but after 9pm it was dead, at least El Nido had something going on in the evenings. Any additional advice is welcome
