Easter holiday help - Thailand or Vietnam? Villa or hotel?

[Torjayar]

Hi, apologies if this question has been asked before but we are looking to organise a family holiday in the Easter 2025 school holidays (April).

We are 8 adults and 6 kids (ages 7, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1) and need to find somewhere ideally midway between UK and Australia.

We’re thinking Thailand or Vietnam (but are open to other ideas) and we’d like to find somewhere where the kids will be safe and entertained (pool, beach etc), we can get food relatively easily, walk to places and can hang out together (especially at night when the kids are asleep!).

I’d be really grateful of any help with the following questions:

1. thoughts on which place might be best - Thailand or Vietnam (or elsewhere)?
2. Recommend places to stay?
3. Views on whether renting a villa or hotel would be better?
4. any tips or advice when looking?

thanks so much x

Danang/ Hoian in Central VN is good at that time.

Thank you. With young children we’d like to be near a beach. Would these places mean that’s possible or would it be a car ride away? Thanks

An Bang beach is around 5 kilometers from Hoian old town (Taxi or Grab).

Really helpful thank you
