In May the weather conditions are starting to change; things are really hotting up with an average temperature of 29C and a humidity level of 85 per cent, so it can get a bit uncomfortable. The sea is starting to get rougher, hence now is the perfect time of the year to enjoy surfing in Con Dao. The average sea water temperature is 30C, so ideal for lingering in the sea and riding those waves. Rainfall is starting to intensify, although not to an extent where it'll spoil your plans.
Labour Day is celebrated on May 1st. Also, in the An Giang Province, the festival of Ba Chua Xu takes place this month an intriguing ceremony for anyone interested in Vietnamese culture.
When it comes to lodgings, Saigon Con Dao Resort is an excellent choice. The facility offers 115 guest rooms, a swimming pool and a tennis court. The nearby restaurant, Poulo Condore, specialises in Asian and Western cuisine.
For more affordable accommodation in Con Dao, Anh Dao Hotel, is simple yet comfortable and features modern rooms with AC and a superb panorama of the surrounding areas.
