You want to lounge? Head for any of thebeaches and luxury resorts that dot the coast.

You want to party till dawn, breakfast on a boatand explore caves and diving spots in theafternoon? Vietnam not only has you covered,it'll have first-timers wondering why they nevermade the trip out before and old hands alreadyplanning what to do in Vietnam next year.
