    Hi, That was very interesting. My wife is Vietnamese and I’ve been to VN eleven times. My mother in law lives in District One behind the US Embassy. My first trip was 2001! I’ve seen a lot of beautiful places there. I watch a lot of your videos and you share some important information to help people out. I enjoy your channel. Have a awesome day! Perhaps I may see you sometime there.

You are definitely one of the good guys by the way you hold yourself & speak openly and candidly about yourself which I commend you on. Yes Vietnam is a up & coming country I felt it on my first visit in 2011 & I still feel it & I want to be part of it. So much I can write but I can't wait to have that Churchill, Cognac & good old chat with lots of laughs with you. Great great video congratulations & you deserve all your good fortunes.

    Enjoy watching and listening to your videos Ken.. I am in Vietnam now my wife is a English teacher working in VINH YEN.I’m from the UK.and my wife is from the Philippines I’ve been coming to Vietnam since 2018 I just love coming here I love the people and the culture of the country. I met my wife in Hanoi last year when I was here again on Hoilday visiting PHU QUOC island.. I went back to the Philippines with her and I asked her to marry me…we come back to Vietnam so my wife could continue working. Has yet I haven’t decided to drive here. I do have a international driving license. I have been a professional driver most of my life. Driving Bus’s and Heavy goods vehicles in London and all over the country and Europe.. I look at all the people on their motorcycles and scooters and the people in their cars. I don’t see any or if anyone knows the laws of the road…I just want to know is insurance required to ride or drive in Vietnam..we always take a taxi or have a car and driver and I must say I haven’t seen many accidents.. I was in a taxi a couple of years ago that was involved in a accident with a scooter rider.. I would definitely drive outside of Hanoi the roads are much safer and less crowded.. I can’t imagine myself driving into Hanoi at any time in the future..

My wife was born in the US but she felt more connected with Vietnam than with the US. I wonder if Vietnam will face the same birthrate issue that South Korea and Japan are currently facing. Also, I was so proud of myself when I drove from HCMC all the way to Da Lat. For some reason it felt like a huge accomplishment lol (b.c. I didn't hit anyone). I got pulled over for speeding, and unlike the US they expect you to get out of the car. I didn't know and I just sat there inside the car for a good 30 minutes. I finally got out of the car and gave the police my "Uncle Ho license".

    1 dollar equals 25,449.00 VND As of May 2023, the minimum wage in Vietnam varies by region, with Region 1 being the highest and Region 4 the lowest: Zone I: VND 4,420,000 per month, approximately US$200 God bless you for all your hard work and efforts in safeguarding the sovereignty of the Vietnamese people. But I will say, and this has not been mentioned, that in Spain it is 8 euros an hour. 221,823.66 Vietnamese Dong So labor is cheap for a reason, right? Inflation may have peaked. Many people donate money to Vietnam to live comfortably because Vietnam does not pay a living wage to Vietnamese citizens. Like I said, a lot of places in Latin America are doing the same thing. Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, they all don't pay an adequate standard of living. Please advocate for a better standard of living for many of the citizens in Vietnam. The government never paid adequately it never did in Vietnam

    If you have USD then you can live in Vietnam comfortably and culturally but you have to worry about the polluted environment and food safety. The funny thing I heard from locals about saving money for the future is to take care of medical expenses because VN does not have a medical system like the US, Canada, the Europe Union (EU) or Australia. Some families in VN went bankrupted due to medical expenses w/o and/or insufficient government help. So do enjoy VN but don’t get sick or involved in a car accident (I don’t want to be mean) because you have to go back to the US in order to receive all the benefits and care you deserve.

    Living under the demonic Commie Vietnam makes people lose their humanity, as doctors don't treat patients unless money is paid first, regardless of how severe the sickness or injury might be, unfortunately. In many cases, patients already on operating beds in operating rooms were pressured to pay extra before surgeons even proceeded with the surgeries.

    For those that don't know, it's incredibly difficult to move money out of Vietnam. If you were to invest in a business in Vietnam and it's doing well and you want to transfer money out, the bank will not simply let you wire the money out or convert to USD without a bunch of legal papers work and restriction.

    Because if VN does not control the outflow of forex, there would be a massive capital flight and its USD reserve would be depleted in day - unquestionably, wealthy people in VN have already moved some of their money abroad. In fact, a number of Vietnamese entities appeared on the Panama Papers in the 2016 leak. There is no real exit for investments in VN, unless it is a barehanded exit.

  • @thaido3220

    If VN can benefit from the exported products it made then you can talk about GDP. Unfortunately the foreign companies just use the cheap labor force of VN to sell their products and Vietnamese workers depend greatly on those companies to survive. If there are enough local companies that can pay the Vietnamese workers properly they would not go abroad to find better pay jobs. We can say that the Vietnamese are now exploited inside and out because they don’t receive decent compensation for their work now and/or when they retire.

    Those hidden costs of operating a business are not at all hidden. They are openly documented requirements. Finding a good broker (like you for example) is a good idea. Too many people offer too many short cuts. Having a local partner is prudent. So long as they're not a partner that takes administrative and compliance short cuts. Your spouse and children are your best local partners. Beware of in-laws.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. But you must agree that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and I find that it's counter-intuitive and perhaps illogical for one to migrate FROM, while literally the rest of the world wants to immigrate TO, the US. Countless Vietnamese students and professionals came to the US to study and have decided to stay simply because in the US there are more opportunities, better quality employment, higher salary, superior quality of life. Absent striking gold, generally, you cannot build as much wealth for yourself in Vietnam as you can in the US. At the end of the day, when you have grown tired with all the red tape, corruptions, and nonsense, you will want to return to the US, and, at that point, you will realize that the grass in Vietnam wasn't all that green to begin with ... maybe because all your savings from the years in Vietnam will not be enough in the US. While I acknowledge that the Vietnamese government has changed and opened up a lot since 1989 when it began it Đổi Mới policy and the Vietnamese economy has grown remarkably since 1995 when US and Vietnam normalized relations and the US-led economic embargo was lifted, it is still a totalitarian state. A quick survey around the world will inform you what you can expect living under such as system. I wish you the very best.

    Did you actually get the traffic tickets and history of recording those tickets in the government system? For example in Laos, there's no official central record system for all the traffic officers to see how many tickets you had. My little experience in Laos is you pay the fine at the check point spot and you go, no official ticket unless you challenge it and then the police send you to the office, which can delay your trip and may cause more problems for you.

    I would say 90% of people don't know how to drive. Its the worst unimaginable way of driving mindset in the whole world. The way they ride there motorbike they drive their cars, trucks, buses 16 wheelers the same way. You miss your turn, no problem just drive back wrong way. They dont even know how to make a proper safe turn. I bet this will go on till 50plus years. Students ride their bike out of school like rats on fire, they dont look left or right. I have been driving here for 14yrs I have been hit 3 times, my brand new bike was hit inside my own home parking space, im not talking about an apartment shared parking. Same as you the first thing to do is to learn to drive slow forget how you used to drive where you came from. You need to re-program your driving habits all over. I would say if the traffic police where to start fining strictly for traffic violations they would run out of paper in one day. Vietnamese may create a cure to disease, build the tallest building in the world, build rockets, do other incredible things BUT DRIVING IS JUST NOT THEIR THING!

Later on in life, they might open a business dealing with them, travel to south America or even have a wife speaking Spanish . In Asia, Australia, Canada, Vietnamese should learn speaking Mandarine. In Europe, they should learn speaking French .The British and American not going to fools with Vietnam , we speaking english with you anytime, anywhere, anyday.

    Majority rich peoples are getting their richness from real estate investment or I must say real estate betting. The 2nd group of rich peoples are government officials and they built their fortunes thru bribery or insider knowledges. Vietnamese are very entrepreneurial but typically in small or street businesses. Remember VN like China controlled by a single party government system, they won’t let any single individual that is too powerful or too smart be successful.

    @@PTL4179 You’re right about the real estate business. Due to the law regarding the land in VN stating that people can only Use the land but Can’t Own it because the land belongs to “all the Vietnamese people” and managed by the government. In other words the Communist Party owns all the land in the country and will lease it to the highest bidder after giving a small compensation to the previous owner or I should say “lessee”who hold a lease of the property. These “lessees” still think that they Own the land unfortunately. Beside robbing the land of poor people to build resorts and/or apartment complexes, those rich entrepreneurs don’t know a thing about other businesses. One typical example is VinFast a part of Vingroup trying to sell their EVs so called Made in Vietnam to the US but failed miserably or Vinhomes that cheated the buyers by taking their money before delivering the promised houses or apartments.

    Rich people in Commie Vietnam almost always have connection with the regime. For example, Pham Nhat Vuong the richest man in Commie Vietnam got parents as Communist Party members, and the bulk of his wealth was from developing and selling real estate properties built on robbed lands that the utterly corrupt and brutal Commie Vietnamese government officials robbed from Vietnamese citizens. Zero risk, 100% profit. It's essentially a zero-sum game in Commie Vietnam where personal gains of a selected, parasitic, privileged few 5% invariably come from personal losses of 95% of the population. That's why they don't need to "work" like in the West and have plenty of free time even mentioned in the video. It's not due to difference in culture and lifestyle, but the origin of the wealth and the nature of the looting.

American lawyer and the judge they hang out every day go drink specials place they hang out Asian lawyer don’t do that, that’s why no connection between them ,Just like Asian singer in American they have no business making money they have to go back to vn to make money and have connections ,plus Vietnamese peoples are easy to trust in peoples ,plus licenses from USA go school here and there easy to believe,there is no honest lawyer in this world that’s the fact

    Vietnam’s economic growth excludes their youth and low wage workers outside of the tech and manufacturing sectors. These sectors often only employ their government family members and friends. Poverty still ravage Vietnam due to nepotism. To succeed there you must have money already, bribe and be at the mercy of the communist party. The business culture over there to is kiss as many asses as possible and under the table money exchange. Name one multi millionaire entrepreneur or businessman from Vietnam that came from a lower class family. I’ll wait

    Nah now way.. in Australia it's 1 driver to one car, often a huge suv or 4wd car that takes up a lot of space; they're often just these vessels of empty space... and so when there's a traffic jam, there's effectively a traffic jam of big empty wasteful metal vessels, whereas motorcycles are so much more compact, so much more energy efficient. Cars and trucks should be mostly reserved to taxi drivers, delivery men, truck drivers... people that actually do productive work and use all that space effectively. And yeah if you're super loaded then sure you can afford a car then, but you need to go through extremely rigorous training and education and you can't bribe your way out of it. I think the majority of people should use motorcycles most of the time, and if you really need to carry something large or other purpose where you would need to use a car then just get a taxi or hire it. Vietnam already has pretty bad traffic congestion, cars that are mostly empty metal vessels with large footprints will only exacerbate the problem. Get a motorcycle
