Wow I am impressed with the level of useful info in your travel video. I am an oversea Vietnamese living in the US for more than 35 years and while I travel to Vietnam for Tết every year I still find your travel tips very useful for even a Vietnamese like myself. Great video thank you!

I would say this video focus more on medium to high end travelers. $250 dollars for one hotel is crazy. I’ve just returned and 16 nights across the country cost me a total of £310. For 3/4* hotels. Nearly the same as one night in the hotel these guys stayed. Hospitality is essential in the Vietnamese culture, you don’t need to be excessive with hotels.

This was the most informative and well-organized travel video I've ever experienced! Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Good effort, such a resource for travellers. Glad you are both up and about, stay safe.

Welcome back! ❤ Your fans, your viewers, your supporters and everyone (who have missed you, appreciated you, your candor, and etc.) are glad to see you back. Please do not over-exert yourselves. Your life and overall health (mental and physical) are never worth wearing yourselves out. You two do not want future burn-out.

It was so nice finding your video - I am from SA and planning a trip to Vietnam soon and so your video was so incredibly useful and concise. Loved all the tips and mostly the Rand value you included. Super excited now!

Thanks very much for your video. My wife and I are planning to visit Vietnam this year and your video was awesome. We plan to book through Vietnam Escape Tours

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Heading to Vietnam in a few weeks and can't wait especially now we've watched this. 😊

Well done 👍🏼 very thorough and honest video. I was in Vietnam back in 2008 for one month and traveled all over north to south also visiting Phou Quoc island before it had the international airport and wow it was amazing back then hardly any hotels. It looks like much has changed. My husband and I are traveling for 3 months in Vietnam this coming March and I’m excited to show him one of my favorite countries. This video helped him understand and know what to expect. Thank you!!❤

Fantastic Vietnam People

noooo i spent a month in Vietnam and Da Lat was one of my top 3 places... so sad you didn't love it. although i guess i had a different experience than most as we took a motorbike and scootered around the countryside of Da Lat which is really beautiful with green fields, and flowers and waterfalls and mountains and scenic view points and temples. The crazy house in the town was so cool, fulfilled my fantasy dream....there's tea plantations nearby too and lots of themed pretty places...there's even an alpine coaster which was super fun and a cable car above large pine forests....there's this sculpture park place....i could of spent a whole week there nooo aw sad to hear. But this video was awesome, lots of great tips and tricks.

Thanks guys!

Great info thanx 🙂

Perfect way to start my Sunday! So happy to see you posting again, hope you’re both doing well ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! I am planning to take my 3 daughters on a holiday from Australia. I was thinking about Thailand but came across your video and decided to go woth Vietnam, so thank you so much for that! The only 2 questions I have is: 1) Is there easily accessible Clean toilets with bidets? (I feel stupid asking this question but I dont do well with public restroom unless they're clean 😬). 2) Are there Halal options for food? Is this something that will be hard to find?

Vietnam is officially on my bucket list thanks to this comprehensive travel guide! 🌟🛫 The thought of navigating through the bustling streets, trying out the local cuisine, and immersing in the culture is thrilling. I'm particularly curious about the best spots for authentic Vietnamese coffee. Fellow travelers, could you share your favorite finds?

I spent a month in Vietnam in 2011 and really loved it. I'm shocked to see how Phu Quoc is now as it was really underdeveloped when I went and was a really authentic experience. Everyone please heed their warnings about the motorbike bandits. I had my camera snatched out of my hands outside the Ben Thanh market in Saigon. Luckily I had downloaded all my pics a short time before it happened, so while I didn't lose everything, it did put a real damper on the end of my trip. That said, I never felt unsafe and the people were lovely. Just watch out for some petty theft, but that exists everywhere in the world.

I'm going to Vientam, nothern part, Ninh Bin, Hanoi Halong, this, northern vietnam and food tour in Hanoi was very helpful and informative. Thank you! But I have one question about local internet sim cards. Are they really 4gb or 6gb per day? It's more than enough but just want to make sure.

Thank you for your time and posting (I took notes). At the time of your posting; the exchange of USD 1 = 23,902. Now (May 16); 1 = 25, 441. Also, the 90-day visa w/ multiple entry is US$104. :) And a few rumors that VN 'may' create a retirement visa in the future. :) I'll be traveling there in September and staying for 1 to 3 months starting in Hanoi, to see if I want to retire there. Hope... Hope... Hope... :) Subscribed, great info.

We are planning to travel to Vietnam in May…

I'm looking for a relaxed breakaway place in Vietnam for a birthday vacation for 7 friends? Secluded. Where would you recommend?

Miss our fun times in Bui Vien 🤣

Great video guys! Thank you for the ton of useful information! We will be coming from South Africa and going to Ho Chi Minh City in December. Do you recommend buying a SIM card at the airport and using Grab to get to the hotel or should we just organise a transfer with the hotel (they charge 650000 VND which sounds like a lot)?

@VuLe-ck7fs

You should buy Sim card at the airport, its not much expensive than outside. Then, you book the grab to the city around 6 or 7 usd. Get outside, across the internal street 1 minute, on your left side is grab station. Easy right?

May I suggest looking into eSims instead of physical SIM cards. If you have a reasonably new phone, you will have at least one eSim slot. Just look into what eSims are. Have fun! :)

Earplugs are terribly handy regardless of where you are. The older you get, as I have found, the more sensitive your hearing can become. I am never without earplugs when I want to sleep anywhere!

Hi our flight is on Dec 20th from India to Hanoi via Vietjet airlines. We have a transit at Ho Chi Minh.

Have you considered Bali in Indonesia? It’s a much easier place to travel to as a solo traveler. So is Thailand. Vietnam is a lot harder because there’s more of a language barrier and everything is so foreign. With that being said though, lots of solo travelers travel there and they do just fine!😊

Does someone have any suggestions on where to go if you want to experience beaches that is not Phu Quoc? A place that is not completely dead but still not a party place?

21:30 -- Rhett, Confucianism you say like this: Con-fyu-shion-ism. Taoism you say like this: Tow-ism. The first syllable is pronounced like the word, Ow the word you say when you get hurt or some such. The gorgeous long, flowing dress tunics that the Vietnamese women wear over loose trousers, are called: Áo dài and you say those words like this: Ow-DIE.

I'm planning my first trip to Vietnam for the history, culture, and landscapes but as a solo white guy I'm pretty sure most people are just going to assume I'm a sex tourist :(

Honestly VN is still ok price, but what makes it cool is the lawlessness of it. Its a filthy place in general, and the tourist attractions are super underwhelming. Some food is decent, but I would say Bali food and Thai food is much better for tourists. As somewhere to live its great, for tourists its crap.

Be safe guys, get fully vaccinated. Vietnam has a significantly higher vaccination rate than South Africa. The pandemic is over, but it existed and did. I almost bought your travel information. Glad you're healthy, not everyone was.

They kicked out your country lol

My wife and I spent 3 or so days in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was by far the worst country we've ever been to and a huge contrast from Thailand and all over SE Asian countries. Every second of the day, we were scammed out of money everywhere we went. It is also a huge process for Americans to get visa's to get into the country. The airport officials scammed us out of a total of $140 USD. When leaving, the airport workers through VietJet stole more than $5K USD worth of watches out of my bag and my Valentino cologne set, which cost over $300 USD.
