    Thanks for a great video. What month did you visit Ninh Binh? I’m heading there in July so your info is really useful for planning. I noticed your grab didn’t show up one morning. Did you arrange the grab through your accommodation or the app? It concerns me about drivers not showing up especially when I have to leave and get to the airport. Any advice? Did you get sick at all or do you think you ate at places with good food hygiene?

    I went in June. I arranged my transport to ninh binh via klook but they didn’t drop me off at my accommodation, so I had to grab a taxi. For that particular morning, it was very early hence no grab around the area. Didn’t get sick from the food there, I tend to avoid street side stalls
