3. Discover “Pearl Island”
On Phu Quoc Island, you can dive into clear and calm waters, and discover the fascinating marine life off the coast of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam, including Bai Sao, Bai Dai and Bai Khem. After the adults have discovered the colourful coral, they can take the kids to the National Park in the northeast of the island to explore the tropical jungle. Kids will also be in paradise at VinPearl Land with a water park and many other exciting outdoor activities and VinPearl Safari is another guaranteed winner. While on Phu Quoc, you can enjoy many interesting excursions. You can visit pearl farms, where you can purchase all kinds of pearl jewellery, fish sauce factories and bee farms, all of which gladly welcome tourists. When the sun goes down, the whole family can embark on a squid fishing expedition. Alternatively, you can head to the local night market and feast on local foods.
For VND10-15 million per person you can enjoy a two-day, three-night trip in Phu Quoc, inclusive of numerous outdoor activities and accommodation at a 4 or 5-star hotel/ resort.
4. Heavenly Halong bay
Halong Bay is a truly spectacular destination that never fails to take the breath away. You could easily spend the day just admiring the wondrous limestone islets that rise out of the deep emerald waters. But make sure you visit the iconic Trong Mai islet and the many majestic caves that will astound people of all ages. A trip to Halong is also never complete without checking out one of the floating villages. The bay’s tranquil waters are also perfect for kayaking, snorkelling, and swimming. Rest assured, the kids will be in heaven at Dragon Land theme park or Water Typhoon Park. The most typical way to explore the bay is on a luxurious cruise boat, which is always wonderful, but for a truly ‘out of this world’ experience you can treat the family to a tour in a seaplane.
The average cost for a dream getaway to Halong Bay, inclusive of hotel accommodation or 3-star overnight cruise, transportation around the bay and entrance fees to most attractions, would be approximately VND10 million per person (not including flight tickets for seaplane).
5. Thailand – The Land of Smiles
When it comes to ‘the Land of Smiles’, every traveler will be able to find their perfect destination. From Bangkok and Pattaya to Phuket or Chiang Mai, Thailand is blessed with wonderful variety of cultural attractions and stunning locations. For those who wish to discover more about the history of Thailand, you would be well advised to visit the Royal Palace in Bangkok and many of the intriguing temples and pagodas in the pulsating capital. Of course, Bangkok also has incredible food and amazing shopping malls while the kids will definitely love Safari World, Thailand’s greatest open zoo and leisure park.
For a typical four-day, three-night tour to Thailand, you should budget a minimum of VND15 – 20 million per person.

Phu Quoc nowadays has a serie of stunning and luxury resorts which is suitable for families for instance Intercontinental 5 stars Phu Quoc, Vinpearl resorts, Fusion Suites, JW Marriot Phu Quoc including large space, kid playround and babysitting service. My family used to travel to Phu Quoc one or twice a year for chilling out and recharging energy.Dang Quoc Hai, Head of Import & Export
Thailand is one of top choice destination for my family because of near Vietnam with two hours flight. We love thai cuisine and shopping in night markets. Chatuchak market is quite popular. Thai always attracts travellers by many ways. The reason is whenever i visited i realized some thing new and interesting in this country. The budget for a Thailand trip is around 50 million VND for three members in three days.
