Gulf of Thailand
Vietnam
Shallow inlet in the western part of the South China and Eastern Archipelagic Seas. It lies in southern Vietnam, driest and most comfortable between December and April.
Why visit: Thousands of limestone karsts rising straight out of jade water — the single image Vietnam is known by, and it earns it.
- ›Take an overnight cruise rather than a day trip — the bay empties in the evening
- ›Kayak among the karsts instead of only watching them from the deck
- ›Check the operator's safety record; standards vary sharply at the cheap end
- ›Go early in the season for clear air, later for calm water
