What first-timers get wrong in Hoi An
Tailoring needs time rather than money: allow three days and two fittings, and treat anyone promising a suit overnight with suspicion. The old town bars motor vehicles during set hours daily, which is why everybody walks. Carry the heritage ticket with you rather than leaving it at the hotel. My Son is punishing after ten in the morning, so the first bus out is the correct one.
Hoi An after dark
Evenings here are the lantern-lit riverfront, boat sellers pressing paper candles on passers-by along the Thu Bon, and the An Hoi night market across the footbridge. On the fourteenth day of each lunar month the town cuts its electric lighting for the lantern festival, and the effect really is different from an ordinary night. Bars cluster on the far bank, and most of the old town is quiet by eleven.
What things cost in Hoi An
Cao lau costs 30,000 to 50,000 dong at a market stall and roughly double at a riverside table with a view. Bicycle hire is 30,000 to 50,000 a day and a motorbike about four times that. The heritage ticket is a one-off 120,000. A tailored linen shirt runs a few hundred thousand dong, while a wool suit is a several-million-dong decision made in an afternoon.
Hoi An with kids, realistically
The town is flat and largely traffic-free during the day, so children can cycle, and hotels lend bikes with child seats at no charge. An Bang beach is a four-kilometre ride and has lifeguards, while Cua Dai has lost most of its sand to erosion and sits behind sandbags. Basket-boat rides through the Cam Thanh coconut palms cost little and delight under-tens. Lantern-making workshops run about ninety minutes.
When the weather turns in Hoi An
October and November bring genuine flooding rather than mere rain: the Thu Bon rises over the riverside streets, shopkeepers move stock upstairs, and boats replace bicycles on Bach Dang. Plan around that season instead of through it. Otherwise a wet day means a cooking class, a fitting at one of the several hundred tailors, or the covered central market. Most heritage houses are open-sided and cold in a downpour.
