Meeting people
A small, friendly and stable community concentrated in An Thuong, with regular coworking events, run clubs and surf sessions. Less transient than Canggu and easier to integrate into than Ho Chi Minh City.
Large enough to be social, small enough that you keep seeing the same faces.

Legal and relaxed within the expat and traveller community.
Safer and calmer than Vietnam's two big cities, with much less bag snatching. Road accidents remain the main risk.

September to December, with October and November bringing flooding and typhoon risk
Air quality
Noticeably cleaner than Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
February to May is the sweet spot: warm, dry and swimmable. The autumn flood season is severe enough that many long-stayers plan to be elsewhere.
