Tips for Visiting Ho Chi Minh in June
June is one of the slowest seasons of the year with regards to tourism, as many people prefer to travel to other regions to avoid the torrential rains and uncomfortable heat. However, June is a wonderful time to visit Ho Chi Minh City for those interested in seasonal fruits.
Rain gear, including a raincoat and umbrella, is an absolute necessity when visiting Saigon during this time of year as rainfall occurs for over half of the month. Otherwise, all you need to wear is light, sweat-absorbent t-shirts and shorts.
Escaping to the countryside to avoid the rain is generally off the table during this time of year as roads can become severely flooded. Travel with caution in the highlands and rural roads.
