A Rainy Day Guide
Hoi An isn't shy of a monsoon shower or two, and they can happen at anytime of the year. Rather than let a little inclement weather put a downer on your stay, we've rounded up some of the best wet weather action in the city. Pull on your poncho and throw on those flip flops - and stick it to the weather with this handy list of things to do in Hoi An on a rainy day.
What the World needs most in these troubled times — more than a better mousetrap, more than a good ten-cent Bia Hoi, even — is a guide to some of the coolest places to get your kicks in Hoi An City. I mean the kind of real inside dope that only those in-the-know can provide. Conveyed to a grateful public in the form of a handy website and free, monthly travel guide

Island Escapes
Coconut palm fringed beaches that go on forever, Cham ruins, colourful fishing villages, and an idyllic private beach retreat which accommodates no more than a dozen guests, for as little as $100 per night.
