The Property — Pich Tevy
Pich Tevy is a budget-friendly three-star in central Kon Tum, with clean, functional rooms and a small pool that offers respite from the heat. The lobby is modest—tiled floors, a reception desk, and a few armchairs—but staff are helpful. It suits independent travellers who want a no-frills base near the city’s markets and river, and don’t need frills beyond air conditioning and reliable WiFi.
Chronicles of Kon Tum
Kon Tum grew from a French missionary outpost in the mid-19th century, visible in the timber-and-stained-glass Catholic seminary that still stands. It became the capital of Kon Tum Province after 1976, and its architecture blends colonial-era wooden churches with traditional Bahnar communal houses (rong). The city sits on the Dak Bla River and is known today as a gateway to the Central Highlands, with a relaxed, provincial feel. Its contemporary identity is shaped by ethnic minority cultures—Bahnar, Gia Rai, and others—and a slow shift toward eco-tourism.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kon Tum guide →Best months
December to February: dry, cooler days (22–28°C) and thinner crowds; perfect for exploring the city on foot and the surrounding highlands without rain interruptions.
Peak / festival surge
March and April are peak for heat (35°C+) and local festivals, including the Kon Klor communal house festival and the elephant race in nearby Dak Lak. Hotel prices can rise 15–30% during these months, and budget rooms like Pich Tevy often fill early.
Budget shoulder season
May and June offer lower rates (20–30% off peak), intermittent but brief afternoon rain, and fewer tourists. The risk of a sudden downpour is real, but the landscapes are lush and the coffee harvest starts picking.
Weather & packing
Kon Tum has a monsoon climate split into a dry season (November–April) and a wet season (May–October), with July firmly in the wet season. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof footwear; leave cotton jeans at home because they’ll stay damp.
Live City Briefing — Kon Tum
- The Dak Bla River walkway, a popular promenade along the riverbank, reopened in late 2025 after flood repairs; it’s a good spot for evening strolls.
- Kon Tum’s new bus station on National Road 14 (3 km from central hotels) now handles most inter-city coaches; check if your bus stops there instead of the old central terminal.
- Heavy rain in early July can cause localised flooding on streets near the river, so check the hourly forecast and plan for indoor activities like the Kon Tum Museum or the Wooden Church in the afternoon.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pich Tevy, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4 to 6, facing away from the street (likely Trần Hưng Đạo or Nguyễn Huệ, given Kon Tum's central grid). These floors have less street noise and fewer footfalls from other guests.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (nosier from reception, breakfast queue, and street-facing windows with open shutters); also avoid rooms directly above the lift shaft (typically a dull hum) which you can identify by a dotted line on the room layout near the elevator core.
Best views
From higher floors facing east or north you'll see the Đăk Bla River and pine hills; lower floor west-facing views are just rooftops or the parking lot.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 (topmost are quietest; ask for 'upper floor, back side'). The lift likely only goes to 6, so these avoid both street rumble and roof-terrace activity if there's any.
🔊 Noise notes
Kon Tum's main roads have motorbike traffic from 6am-8pm, plus the hotel's own breakfast service from 6:30-9am adds clatter from the ground floor dining room. Request east-facing rooms (river side) to minimise both.
Insider tips
1) Check-in early (by 1pm) to secure an upper back-facing room; the hotel rarely pre-assigns and first come often gets quieter rooms. 2) If you're on a higher floor, ask at reception for a room with the newer AC unit—some older ones in lower floors are rattly.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Kon Tum
💡 Go early morning (around 7am) to see the light through the stained-glass windows and avoid the heat. The bell tower can be climbed for a small donation.
💡 Ask the guard to turn on the lights in the back room if it's dim. The English labels are sparse, so bring a translation app or hire a guide outside for 20,000 VND.
💡 The site is small—allow 20 minutes. Pair it with a walk along the nearby Dak Bla Riverbank. The caretaker appreciates a 5,000 VND donation.
💡 Cross at sunset for the best light, but bring a torch as there are no lights on the bridge. The village side has a small coffee shack selling iced coffee for 10,000 VND.
💡 Take a motorbike taxi (30,000 VND one way) as buses are infrequent. Best visited from December to February when the sunflowers are in full bloom. No entrance fee, but buy some honey or vegetables to support the community.
