Traveled to Vietnam solo in 2011 and really enjoyed it. While visiting Halong Bay I somehow left my wallet at a hotel. When I returned to Hanoi 2 days later my wallet was waiting for me at my hotel---nothing missing, including cash. This says it all about the character of people and the tightly organized travel industry. Can't wait to visit Sapa again. Great country to travel in.

I need to add two more things: beaches and seafood. Chinese flock to Vietnam to eat cheap seafood and it is also exported in large quantities to China. All provinces in Vietnam have cities and towns with beautiful beaches literally within walking distance. In some places, you can claim all the beaches for yourselves (if you know where to go). I feel that Vietnam beaches are much underrated. Maybe the service is not on par with that in other South East Asia countries, but if you come just for the sceneries and can enjoy yourselves, it is cheaper and more fun in Vietnam.

It is so much more expensive compared to the other countries in the region, that many world travellers decide to skip Vietnam altogether once they find out about the fee.

I am excited to visit Vietnam in Summer. Sounds like a dream 🙂

Infrastructure is ok by certain Asian standards, but not western standards. Then there’s the hospitals and other things like that, including safe drinking water, traffic laws that are non existent, etc… this stuff is fine for me on a visit, even a long one of several months, but I decided on my last trip it is just not a place I could live permanently. I am often disillusioned by the rat race in the US but I enjoy the conveniences and certain luxuries too much to move somewhere like Vietnam. But I do love it.

"live in a communist country" sounds funny. Vietnamese people don't even care about that lol

Can you make a video describing the differences between the people from the north, central and south of Vietnam? Vietnam is a very long country and I’ve heard the character of people are very different depending where they come from. I heard that even in dating these differences can pose certain challenges. I heard for example northerners are more hardworking and southerners prefer an easier life. I also heard women from the north are more controlling and people in the north might not be very upfront. I also heard the guys from the north are more than southerners. It would be very cool if you make a video like that.

Great video but you should also do a video on the negatives for the concept of balance for example being an expat in Vietnam for example, having to constantly re-apply for a Visa because the retirement one was removed. Or how you as an expat you are not allowed to own land, property or a business. There is probably more to say but it would be very interesting

I love our people! Very kind, very hardworking, and very accepting of others unlike many other countries

With this video you have make me again fall in love of Vietnam, Will you make a video of the worst things in Vietnam ?

Shortlisted for my retirement. I am from Singapore. With the new Hanoi metro, hopefully transportation will get better too. I also love the seafood there and the low cost of bia Hanoi.

Vietnam would be cheap if you are earning in, say, one of the developed countries. Exchange rate, to some extent, will make that possible. Is Vietnam so cheap for people who live and work in Vietnam? Considering the fact that there has been rapid economic development as you mentioned in the video, the cost of living must be rising. It was an interesting video. Thank you for posting.

@@WhatThePho In that case, instead of generalizing, you should make a separate video on the capacities in which the foreigners can move to Vietnam, e.g., as self-employed individuals, as retirees, etc. Are foreigners allowed to move to Vietnam if they are "digital nomads"? You should check the immigration policies of the Vietnamese government and provide detailed information in a separate video. That would be informative for those who are interested to move to Vietnam. Thank you.

It’s cheap for foreigners from countries where they earn more money, but not for anyone earning a normal Vietnamese salary. Same applies around the world.

Cannt deny your statement. The average monthly income in Vietnam is just around VND 5-6 million, equivalent to $US200-$US300. However, the total of accommodation and food is approximately VND 2-3 mil, ~ $US100-150 and there are more additional fee, fare, etc such as parking fees, petrol, ultilities.

Thanks for your video.

Right now，right away！I can't wait.

It's good for retired people but not for people who are age between 20+ - 55 because salary is very low in Vietnam. Let's say if you want to make a vacation in Europe, you might have to work more than 1 year to get money for a vacation.

Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

One reason NOT to move to Vietnam long term (well, actually 3 reasons) - VISA,VISA & VISA!!!! If you can tell me how to get a LEGAL long term visa ( more than 30 days), without leaving the country and returning, then I’ll change my mind. The Vietnam Government has absolutely NO interest in foreigners staying/living long term - and there’s nothing you can say that will change this basic premise!!!!!!!!

You can get a work permit and temporary residence card that last up to 2 years at a time. You will need an employer to sponsor your work permit (sponsor meaning apply for you, they don't usually cover the cost) and you will need an undergrad degree. The degree has always been a bit "flexible" but recently they seem to have gotten more strict about it. For teaching English specifically, now is also a horrible time to move here. Pretty much all classes are online now and I've heard a lot more than usual horror stories of teaching companies not paying their teachers on the grounds of "we don't have enough money to pay you because of covid".

One more thing, the only other way of staying long term without visa issues is by marriage to a Vietnamese national. You can get a 5-year visa exemption if you are married to a Vietnamese citizen. There is, to my knowledge, no way of gaining Vietnamese citizenship as a foreigner. There are rumors and hearsay about ways to gain citizenship by renouncing your former citizenship(s), but I have never met or heard of anyone specifically accomplishing this in my 8 years of living here. I've heard of the government making special exceptions to allow foreigners to play on the national football team, but I don't follow football and that is just a rumor I heard.

Love your channel. Two thumbs up!!!

My reasons to move would be 1) The food - you can basically never go hungry, during traffic, during long trip, or anywhere. Food are everywhere. 2) Diversity - Many people are living in Vietnam, you can find different people from all over the world. 3) Lifestyles - Vietnamese love to have fun, but they love to work as well. It’s seems like Vietnamese people always get days off, that’s because Vietnam is a country that never sleeps. Hustle and bustle lifestyles. 4) Freedom - You can basicallly enjoy living without the worries, about what this person thinking or saying what are you wearing at night. Why wear this in store, in restaurant. Why drink this and drink that. You can do whatever that you want because Vietnam is a diverse culture. Different people from different places, coming in and out of the country. I have to disagree with safety - Vietnamese or not. There is theft and always will be, people might not kill people with guns, but I’ve seen so many other ways, Bricks, knives, cars, fist, etc…Safety is 100% shouldn’t be a reason to move there. It is bad then people think. People get stuff stolen from sandles, purses, phone, necklaces, the usual stuff everyday. Motorbike is another reason I disagree, you can rent it and ride it but it’s that mean more traffic, more problems. Vietnam are trying to reduce motorbike but it’s not working out so well.

The 2nd reason you should NOT move to Vietnam is food all kinds of food are contaminated with pesticide, herbicide, insecticide, hazardous chemicals, chemical irritants, harmful chemical coloring. Extremely careful of what you eat, drink and cook.
