Da Nang has 1 gay bar

Da Nang has 2 bars. Second one is Mellow Joy. It was empty at time of my visit at next day after Tet.

How may I ask to get from Bangkok to Da Nang ?

Obviously a plane but do I need to get a bus from Saigon?

Would a week be enough ?

Whats Saigon like ?

Hello Olddaddy,

I flew on Thai Vietjet Air directly from BKK Suvarnabhumi airport to Da Nang airport - flight time a little more than 1.5 hours.

I rented an AirBnB for 12 days directly on the My Khe beach with an amazing unobstructed view of the beach, city, sea, and mountains from the 22nd floor balcony.  

On average, the daily temperature was 3 to 4 degrees cooler - mostly because the winds coming in from the South China Sea.

Enjoy.

Very interesting company. I like them - they are more than gay friendly and have gay crews. I saw such crews at time of my flights and flights were very funny.

No-no. Flight. Flights are cheap.

Depends on how much cities you want to visit.

Da Nang itself 3 days for "must see" sites: day for city tour, day for hot springs, day for Ba Na hills and sky bridge

I highly advise to visit Hoi An (just 45-60 min from Da Nang by car) for 1 night (at least) for city tour and to see water show at evening 

Also highly advise to spend at least 1 day in Hue - old capital of VN for city tour, 70-90 minutes by car from Da Nang. Must see site is Citadel and Royal palace inside of Citadel.

My typical schedule for Central VN is: 2-3 nights in Hoi An, 4-5 nights in Da Nang (including at least 1 "lazy day" on the beach), 1-2 nights in Hue

Speaking about Saigon, weekend in Saigon is great, but weekdays are quite boring by evenings: most gay places are closed during Mon-Wed. I prefer to spend Mon-Wed in Vung Tau (45 min by car from Saigon) on the beach. While you are in Saigon, to spend day in Mekong delta will be great idea besides city tours. You also may visit Mekong delta by boat on the way to Vung Tau.

Don't miss Nadam (Adam) spa in Saigon: a lot of willing guys (mostly students) by weekends at day time.

Be warned: Saigon is the same hot as Bangkok, now there is +40C. Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue are cooler, especially in the hills.

Specially at full moon. Then they have their lantern festival with thousands of lanterns on and along the river. A bit touristic and crowded but worth to see that. I loved it
