Among them, countries such as Thailand and Vietnam are the most affordable at the cost of the tour. They are close in climate, sea water temperature this season and the range of services provided to tourists.

Both in Vietnam and Thailand in January it is sunny, the water temperature is comfortable, and the sandy beaches are warm. But there is also a difference. In Thailand in January, the sea is not only warm, but also clear, and in Vietnam it is cloudy, in the south it is still cloudy, although there is almost no rain. The best place for a holiday in Vietnam in January - this is the island of Phu Kok, where there are no such disadvantages. The sea is transparent there, and the sky is clear and sunny.

If you choose between Vietnam and Thailand not by climate, but by the level of service and possible entertainment, then:

• In terms of service level, Thailand and Vietnam are approximately on the same level, but Vietnam, as a young, developing tourist destination shows a great interest in the comfort of guests;
• Thailand, where tourism has been developing for more than a decade, offers more variety of entertainment, colorful shows, exciting excursions;
• In Thailand, which lives largely on tourism, prices for restaurants, shows, etc. noticeably higher than in socialist Vietnam, which had just embarked on this path.

Whichever of these two countries you choose, your January will be bright and unforgettable, because both Vietnam and Thailand give their guests:

1. Beautiful tropical nature;
2. Warm sea and wonderful beaches;
3. Exotic cuisine and fruits;
4. Excursion tours to the most interesting historical sights.

January is the high season for this destination, when there is the highest demand for tours to this country, respectively, and their cost is higher.
