The point to Hoi An is that it is a place to holiday, eat well, goof off. It will appeal to travellers who want to chill out without hassle. Far better place to hang out than say Nha Trang.

It's hot and quite humid here all the time. In Hanoi and most of my time in Hue I wore long pants because shorts seemed a bit out of place there, especially in Hanoi, but in Hoi An and Nha Trang all the tourists and even some locals wear shorts. On or near beaches it seems perfectly acceptable, although some tourists don't care either way. Women definitely wear bikinis on the beaches. The locals only tend to spend time on the sand before sunrise or after sunset, but while the sun is up the tourists wear European and Australian-style beachwear.
