Hanoi in winter was OK - a bit damp and drizzly but I thought it was fascinating. A huge contrast with the bling in Ho Chi Minh.

As for Bangkok - definitely your fault. Amazing place.

I'll take your word for it on the winter front. Agree, the contrast from Ho Chi Minh is remarkable, like a totally different country. The whole half communist half not thing is mad. I guess my view of Hanoi was skewed by it being split in two either side of a weekend in Haalong Bay. The most remarkable place I have ever seen and may ever see.
Yeah Bangkok i found culturally fascinating with so many nationalities in the one place. But Ko San road nearly killed me before a month long trip had even begun though. Still wake up in sweats from the Ping Pong show.

Koh San Road is just a back packers cess pit.
