I am from NYC. I came to Vietnam first time in 1988. Moved here full time in 1995. Still here. Very happy.
I’m pleased to hear that :) thanks for watching
In which City do you live? I was 5 weeks in Vietnam - Hoi An, Da Nang and Hanoi.
After a decade living in Australia, and been to more than 30 countries, Vietnam is still the best to me tbh
Good one you mate :) thanks for watching and interacting 🏆
I’m so surprised not many mention about crossing a crowded street…..I was born in Vietnam, left, but came back and was fearful of crossing the street!
Thank you so much. It's really lovely to heard that from you. Have a nice day
Amazing to hear!
Amazing to hear!
Visited from South to North Vietnam. I got to say that Vietnam is the most beautiful country on Earth. Every cities had a charm that you can’t explain. So beautiful in every way. Also, great foods and everything is so so cheap and affordable.
I totally agree!
Nice how you can say that when in the 1950s Ho Chi Minh founded his whole communist state on the blood of murdered landlords. Even Ken Burns himself showed Ho murdered many landlords!
@@colincolin2420Theo bạn.. Cái đẹp thực sự nằm ở con người, quy mô điều hành đất nước hay cơ sở vật chất??? 😂😂😂
Thực ra nói thế cũng khá đúng, người Việt Nam thân thiệt nhưng cơ sở hạ tầng hay giao thông kém đầu tư và kiểm soát lỏng lẻo, đường phố vẫn có rác nhiều chỗ, có chỗ vẫn còn rất nhiều rác thải và chất lượng không khí ở Hà Nội hay Hồ Chí Minh khá tệ@@ThaiDungofficial .

I’m an American been living in Vietnam 10 years march 2023 will be 11 yrs. I LOVE IT❤❤❤❤
I have a friend who moved to HCMC in March 2010 from LA, CA. He's still there and loving it. I just returned from my 1st trip (9 days) and will be returning for a longer stay in 2024.
@@georgecarlin2879 lots of English teaching jobs available. If you got a bachelors degree you can get a teaching job at the international language schools good salary. But if you don’t have you can teach at the many Vietnamese schools and live comfortably
❤
"Travel. Your money will return, but time no". That's exactly whai i needed to hear right now. Thank you.
Perfect! Thank you for watching 😃 I’m glad this was useful 🏆
I may be weird. But when I think about the possibility of losing everything and become homeless or finding myself in a really difficult situation, I’m not scared. Maybe a bit but I think I’ll find my way to get out of it.
I’m planning to visit Vietnam with a friend
And why not, maybe without a ticket for return
Beautiful land, nice friendly people, excellent food, everything is so inexpensive....love the country. Third visit coming up. Traffic as a pedestrian rather scary, seemingly no rules !!!
Haha, try riding a bike or motocycle, you're gonna find the rule in the chaos and it's quite awesome.
Xi ciao Vietnam.!! I want to visit you one day .!! Love from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️
Thank you for watching ❤️🇵🇭
haha it's cute. It actually " Xin chào Việt Nam" but it okay bae
I'm a Vietnamese and from my pov, Vietnamese don't harbour any particular negativity towards American, if anyone is wondering, war is long over anyway and those who does probably won't live much longer. As a person, anyone is welcomed as long as you are nice and well behaved, nobody like a Karen & Ken or someone doing a Logan Paul episode here. Vietnamese are curious and even fascinated about American culture, cuisine and way of life. But some topic such as politics are much left to be debated :)
As a Vietnamese living in Hanoi for more than 20 years, I really appreciate your opinions about my city. We look forward to welcoming you to Hanoi and enjoying its beauty
Thank you 😊
The old quarter of Hanoi is my favorite city in Asia. I was really surprised and I was kind of lucky, I was there right as covid was starting, so I got really good deals on my hotels and it wasnt so crowded. The Vietnamese are admirable people.
How many times did a gay guy lean in and stare at your penis in the bathroom?
I have been living in California for 12 years and I was born in Vietnam. I will be visiting Hanoi next year. I’m so exited!!!
All countries in the world have both positive and negative sides, Vietnam is no exception. But we really appreciate the reviews and opinions of all tourists from all over the world. Our country is a developing country and we are in the stage of development and improvement in all aspects. Thank you very much
Thank you too for watching and interacting :D Have a great Sunday
Good excuse for being a developing country. If the Japanese think like you do they will not be as advanced as they are now. So just throw away your idea being “poor due to the wars” and ask for less corruption and bribes then you will see the light at the tunnel. There will be no improvement to the development of the country if corruption is still running strong like right now in Vietnam. If the Vietnamese stop telling at the same time to the world that they are still a developing country and they are the most intelligent in the whole world then I think Vietnam has a very BIG problem there.
The people you interviewed are just great! They are open and ready to take on our one world. Vietnam is is incredibly safe and noted the ladies interviewed felt totally safe and they should. Under 40s in big cities, English standard is excellent, outside it is patchy, but it is Vietnam and they are open to learning and embracing our world. EMbrace theirs! Loved the China guy ----- 'peace - Vietname - peace China! THe secret of the Chinese people - they are the coolest!
Haha nice one mate. Thanks for watching and saying hi :D
As a Vietnamese living in the USA, I have always longed for going back to my countries for vacation. I know some cons of traveling back to my home country: the pollution, the heavy traffic in Saigon during gridlock, the thieves on the street grabbing your phones or jewelry out of nowhere, the unpredictable rain and unpleasantly humid heat in the South. Despite those cons, I still ❤ my country for the people, most of whom are very friendly and helpful and the food, which is very delicious and tasteful.
Vietnam is attractive to foreign tourists due to, I strongly believe, the food and the people. The nightlife in some big cities like Saigon or Hanoi is dynamic. You will never get bored because you can still see people during nighttime selling food on the streets or those sanitary workers diligently doing their jobs.
Many foreigners going to Vietnam finds it easier to live because of the value of dollar or how easy they can earn money while living in Vietnam through some jobs. For example, many western foreigners can apply to become English teachers in some English schools and get paid 2-3 times higher than Vietnamese ones, who mostly have bachelor degrees in teaching English or other English certificates. Those foreigners not only use English but can make more money in Vietnam since Việt Nam is reaching out more to the world. Việt Nam has more young population who like to speak to foreigners and find other opportunities along the way! Foreigners may greatly benefit from those young Vietnamese generation because they can speak English with those young Vietnamese. In addition, Vietnamese young people will help them like becoming a free tour guide, instructing them how to get along well with local people and the life in Vietnam.
Overall, living in a country with many young people who are ready to speak English and helpful in some ways; good food and cheap almost everything appear to draw more people coming to Vietnam.
For us Vietnamese, we seem to go out to other countries for dollar and higher living conditions. Once we are financial stable, many people I know come back to Vietnam and retire there or they go back and forth to enjoy good lives of both places
Thank you for watching from all the way in the US. Vietnam is such a great country indeed. Conditions are getting better each year I like to believe:) hopefully it moves the same direction as it’s already going. Thanks for watching
1 Việt kiều tuyệt vời❤❤❤
"going back to my countries for vacation" ??? Like, how many countries do u have? lol

Bạn nói nc mĩ có xả súng k .khủng bố k. Sống có tình cảm như ở vn không hay đa sắc tộc toàn là kì thị màu da.
If Vietnam is such a good country why do you need to make fortune in other countries instead of helping your country to get better for example by stopping as much as you can the corruption so the taxes paid by the people are properly utilized to help people have a better life which is not the case right now.
Quality interviews Mr. Chai 👌 really interesting views - Vietnam is wow 👍👋🙏😃
Always a pleasure mate 🤩 Vietnam is growing on me 😃 also the food is better than I remember 😁
Awesome champ. Some excellent interviews here. Thanks as always Chai 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it! Steven 😁 there will be a lot more to come 🫶🏼🇻🇳
VIETNAM is developing, the life is comfortable, the happiness index is high, the people are friendly and close, especially very friendly and always help foreigners. In addition, VIETNAM is also a very safe country. , along with very rich and diverse cuisine, the scenery in many places is very beautiful, you should come to feel it.
People need to come over and experience it their selves 😍 So much good food, beautiful landscapes and beautiful people ❤️
Oh my ! The happiness index is all I needed to move there,so many rich countries with too many depressed people,I love how the people value the simple things of life, and they're really very simple, welcoming and accommodating. I hate xenophobic countries,that's one thing I love so much about Vietnam,always very friendly towards tourists. I love it ❤❤❤❤
I think the food and tourist attractions are very average in Vietnam. I lived there for 5 years and I would never zay that the food was delicious. It is a good place to drink beer, drink 15 coffees a day and meet hot women. Lots of more fun countries for tourists.
If you go to the market there are basically 4 prices.
1. Tourist price
2. Tourist with Vietnam person.
3. Vietnam normal price
4. Little old ladies and monks price.
So if you find your paying a little bit extra don't worry to much !
Good one :) thanks for sharing
xD i laughed so hard at this comment
🤣🤣🤣 true
Specially for the Ben Thanh market
the new arithmetic must be applied:
1 + 1 = 11
How about Saigonese in Hanoi prices? My ex from Saigon would get charged more than me and I'm nguoi nuoc ngoai 😂
Good to watch this video. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it Yasin! 🏆 have a beautiful one
@@Chai_Travel Thank you. You too, have a wonderful day. 😀
Thank you 😁🫶🏼

I live in San Francisco California. California is 1 of the fourth states with strong economy in the country. People get robbed walking down the street. Groups of people would robbed expensive boutiques store like LV, Apple Store etc.
That’s so said to hear. :( hopefully the country gets more united and is able to work more on such things
Catch and release policy from DA, dont get arrest if stealing less than $1000, and illegal immigrants are the main causes of the issue. If you travel to Southern States, you will feel much safer.
@@dula7882 that is the most ignorant and racist comments. The problems is not the immigrants. Stopped blaming the immigrants for everything. The people who committed is an American. Most of the immigrants r hard working people. They put food on American tables. Pleased, stopped spreading misinformation and hatred. U should be ashamed of urself .
Hi Chai champ, Vietnam sounds very worth to explore ! the first Girl from Taiwan was great and cute, she had some nice experiences and was thankful for your videos ! I think the people and landscape - and not to forget the delish food 😋- are the main reason i would wish to travel to this country and of course it has the sea 💙✌Thanks alot for the vid. keep on i love your work Chai ! lovely regards to Ilona ! 💕
Thank you! She was a great add to the show indeed :) always nice to bump into lovely people. Thanks again and greetings also from Ilona😁🫶🏼
It's heartwarming hearing such good things from people around the world about my country 😊 I mean it's not perfect but we're trying everyday to
Vietnam Is happy land, friendly, good food, beautiful countriy, safety..
I love how honest and raw this review is! Hanoi seems like such a mixed bag of experiences. Have you had any standout moments that totally changed your perspective on the city?
I think just being there with an open mind seeing that a lot of things go differently than from where I’m from is very nice and meaningful. It’s good to see how people live in Hanoi and to see how many tourists are enjoying this city :) I really love the coffee, food, and the kindness of people 🙂
Thanks for a brilliant share, i have never visited Asia, and watchign your video, I feel like Vietnam should be my first travel when I visit Asia.
Awesome! Thanks for watching Rikayangu :D I hope some of the videos helps you to make the move over. Have a good day and night🤟🏽
I lived in the UK my entire life, came to Vietnam for "two weeks" around year ago and never went home. Living/working in hanoi now.
12:40 I am an American who spent a year in Vietnam. As far as they are concerned, they won "the American war" as they call it. This is a totally reasonable stance. That is a major reason why they are ok with Americans. Imagine being a smallish country and winning against the world's greatest military. They have a lot to be proud about.
Another reason is because so many Vietnamese that live abroad in America send money back home to family in Vietnam.
Third reason is that Vietnam to this day likes the US over China.
I don't know if that Chinese guy told a true story or not but things like that don't happen a lot in Ha Noi because if someone got stolen something on the street like phone or something, the local people will definitely help you (I mean a lot of help, maybe too many :D)
Aw yeah it’s true the locals are very helpful and do not like the very small minority of pickpockets. The Vietnamese are amazing people in general ❤️
Tôi nghĩ là đúng.Vì bạn biết đó người Việt nam hay có ý thức cảnh giác với người TQ bởi vậy có người họ muốn coi điện thoại xem người TQ có quay video nói xấu Việt nam hay không thôi.Bởi vậy xem xong họ trả lại là thế.
Very good to know
I hope Viet People don't change that, Street Justice is the most efficient justice (;
@@liliindia Yes if you travel in Viet Nam and get into this kind of situation, just scream loudly to let local people around know what happen and they definitely help you
There is only one thing that is very much concerning in Vietnam. That is the absolutely terrifying traffic but other things are beautiful such as food, scenery and the wonderful - friendly people. One visit in Vietnam is enough because you might be killed by traffic on the road as I worried about
Yes, traffic can be very scary 😅 other than that it’s mostly a great place :)
the traffic is actually the least thing that you'd have to worry about when you're familiar with it
Bạn muốn an toàn hãy voi người dân địa phương sẽ an toàn, giao thông Vn hổn loạn nhưng có quy tắc
Honestly you are not gonna die if you're hit by a scooter cause the scooter often goes with 40km/h or lower in the crowd so they really can controll their speed.
Amazing Video! You make great content and I'm glad I subscribed and smashed the notification bell..... Have an amazing life!
Awesome! Thanks so much for giving such positive vibes :)
Thanks Chai for the new episode from Hanoi, Vietnam. We forget that Vietnam is a communist country, but apparently the villagers are satisfied with the system. You are very close to the wonders of the rice fields north of Hanoi, in Tuyen Quang with its beautiful views. Tourists seem to have a great time. 👍👍
Thanks and your welcome mate 😃 man, the north of Vietnam is so beautiful 😍 absolutely love it. Have a beautiful one 🏆 cheers
Compared to many capitalist countries, Vietnam is a dream land actually, so communism pffs lol
Communist country but PPL CAN RUNNING ANY BUSSINESS BY THEMSELVES.
While in US & WESTERN, bussiness & company considers as DIRTY CORPORATE, SLAVES OWNERS. They’re blaming companies & manufacturers.
America GIVE PPL FREE DRUGS & needles so druggies zombies & druggies homeless & thugs can fulfill their shitty high!!
WELFARE QUEEN & LAZY PPL CAN STAY AT HOME LYCHEE FROM GORVEMENT, all the money come from taxpayers hardworking!! So welfare queen can stay at home flirt around & BREEDING LIKE RABBITS
to have more kids more free stuffs & more benefits to ABUSE SYSTEM & ABUSE TAXEPAYERS!!
Thugs & criminals have more freedom & human rights to going around STEALING, LOOTING & DESTROY, ATTACKERS PEOPLE!!
And you point out about COMMUNIST COUNTRY LIKE VIETNAM??
While in SOME EUROPE COUNTRY they’re even AGAINST PRIVATE SCHOOLS!!
While in VIETNAM, no one against or have any right to point out about PRIVATE SCHOOLS - its someone bussiness!!
While freedom like WESTERN IS FORCE PRIVATE SHOOLS CLOSE. If private shools is open then they must take anyone attend to shools even the kids is unqualified.
HOW RIDICULOUS??
Communist country but CRIMINALS GET CAUGHT & KICKED OFF IN JAILS FOR THEIR CRIMES!!
Dangerous violent & brutal criminals - will face DEAD PENALTY FOR THEIR CRIMES TO THE VICTIMS & GET WIPE OUT HUMAN LIFE ENVIRONMENT!!
While NON COMMUNIST LIKE US & WESTERN IS KEEP CREATE MORE “GENIUS LAWS” systems to protect & support these druggies, thugs, thru& criminals in the HEARTBEAT.
Please!!
just for you to know, in reality Vietnam is more or less a fully capitalism country now, the only thing left associated with communism is the government
Please do not bring discrimination to Vietnam - because a country's path, whether communist or capitalist, has good and bad points - But most importantly, they bring a peaceful life to the people and work actively to manage the country with the goal of improving people's lives and developing the country.
Vietnam's communist regime is not a copy of any other communist country.And finally - Vietnam always respects and welcomes everyone regardless of country, religion, skin color or political system as long as you respect us!
Friendly welcome !
For Chai, please tell ll the tourist that VN especially Hanoi( Northern VN) have 4 seasons, HCM city ( Southern Vn,) have 2 seasons...
. And give them good advice when visiting VN ( Hanoi not raining or gloomy sky all the time like your video 😍)
Thanks for helping VN as much as you can😍( even though I was born and grew up in Hanoi..
and now living away from VN but Hanoi and VN are always in my heart 🙏👍💯🇻🇳😍❤️💙💜)
It is good that you are having good time in Vietnam. I have heard so many negative experience people had in Vietname. Things like not safe and pickpocket and scam, etc.
Pickpockets and scammers are everywhere in the world. It’s actually not so bad in Vietnam though you need to be a bit streetwise :)
Vietnam is going to be a rich country
I think so too :)
Rich from scamming people.
@@BureaucracyWorld....some people are just suckers, sounds like you got scammed😅
In your dreams…
Welcome to Cambodia, enjoy !
Vietnam is nice also.
Thank you 😊
First opinion is on point ❤️
Rain is part of life in Vietnam. It’s a tropical climate.
VIETNAM has four seasons, you should find out before traveling to VIETNAM, and especially from February, which is spring, there will be many festivals as well as more vibrant landscapes, landscapes and people. to welcome a new year
Cảm ơn Chai, mình rất đề cao việc đặt phụ đề ngôn ngữ bản địa ở mỗi quốc gia mà video đề cập đến.
không có gì :) Tôi rất vui vì bạn thích nó :)
There is a big hospital in every city. Just ask, grab driver, and they'll take you there.
BTW, it's amazing that visitors having almost a blank thought coming up with the negative side.
Haha right? So nice :) Thanks for watching
it's a comunist country, saying negative things could end up in jail or worst, in a re-educated camp... stop being naive like a child...
Welcome to Viet Nam

cảm ơn vì đã chào đón chúng tôi :) chúng tôi đã yêu Việt Nam ❤️
Watch out for the traffic and street crime in Saigon...but I pretty much loved Vietnam. Great place to travel!
Lol, the guy asked for something bad about Vietnam, the Asian woman kept saying something nice instead 😂😂😂
Just to show how nice Vietnam is ;)
It depends on the mindset. She is very positive. But like any other country, if you want to look for negatives there is a bunch of them. Better keep your expectation right.
Wishing you happy and safe days in Vietnam. 🙂
Thank you. We left already but we hope to be back some day in 2024 😁
It's a nice place and the food there are pretty good, especially the Bun Cha and Pho. Just be careful where you're at and look after your belongings at all times, though. And be more cautious when dealing with the Customs and Immigration officers there too!😅
Haha did you have trouble there once before? Always a little careful Nick :) good one 🏆
@Chai_Travel I was aware of the scammers on the streets, so when the chap tried to apply his glue on my shoe, I shouted to him, NO..
It's a new pair of shoes. Just be very careful at the customs and immigrations when in Vietnam, Champ!😅😆
Haha, sometimes you do have to raise your voice 🤭
You've got it wrong. Those are shoe shiners on the street. They don't know how to speak English so they make signs of applying shoe polish.😂😂😂
O đâu cũng vậy Quang trọng cẩn thận
The street looks clean and green
Adriana, my wife was one of your CAG teachers. If you come back here, find us.
Thanks for the video 👍
Thang YOU for watching 😁
Are the streets blocked off. When I was there in that same exact spot motorbikes and cars clogged the street. Anyways, What I like about Hanoi is that it has a lot less western influence than other Southeast Asia cities. It's the real deal.
Yes it was 😃 in the weekend they do this and a part of the old quarter turns into walking streets. I really like it! Cheers mate
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. It bears the mark of tradition, culture and customs of the royal dynasties. They live under a communist regime so people like to preserve what their ancestors left behind. Below During the time of the King and the Communist regime, the laws were very strict, thus creating a unique feature of Hanoi. In the past, Hanoi did not have any thieves or robbers on the streets because violations would be punished by death. As for the city, In Ho Chi Minh City, they are more liberal in the capitalist regime, so the crime of robbery on the street is only punishable by imprisonment, so the consequences still exist until now. 2030 Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will ban all motorbikes. in the city. Therefore, Vietnam is rushing to complete the subway so that people can travel easily.
Bring new bills, they often won't give a good exchange rate for old bills. Prepare for the weather in the area you visit!
Good tip! Thanks 😊
@@Chai_Travel motorcycle travel: beware of gravel in the mountain curves, don't set out in the dark mornings the locals, with children, spread their grain on the roads to dry, better to wait till it's light.
American guy seems cool aha.
Vietnam really grew on me.
Just be careful of scams.
I visitted Vietnam in '99-'2000 and never experienced a thing some of them did. Allthough i have a Thai lady Vietnam is still,specially the people,my favorite country.😂😂😂😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Definitely use grab whether bike or car. It's cheap and you don't need to worry about being ripped off. In Malaysia, grab called the driver to check if everything was OK because our trip was taking too long for the scheduled journey. P. S. As for poverty... The country is rich by comparison to what it was in 1992. The speed of development is absolutely astounding. Can't wait till the metro is open in saigon
Yeah nice one. 🤩 Me neither! I hope it’s not too expensive everyone can make use of it. It will be a game changer 🤩
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😃👋
The young guy looks so nice.
As a vietnamese i can confirm that vietnamese ppl in fact do not hate americans lmao. I guess there are still ppl who dont like americans but i'd say to 99% of ppl here thats not a problem at all
Thanks great to hear :) thanks for leaving a message like this 🙏
You should. Everyone else does 🤣
No one ever talks about how horrible the noise in hotels and apartments are.
Sleep ins are horrible.
630 am means they can slam doors and talk super loud.
i agree, but maybe spend a little bit more and get a better one, it worked for me before
Our schools start at 7, workplaces at 8 so many people would wake up at 6. The street would get quite noisy from 7.
Chào bro Chai..Chào đất nước Holand tươi đẹp!! Wellcome to VN❤❤❤
cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều ❤️
this is really good ;)
Thanks 😁
thanks you for response
Haha no worries 😁 if someone takes the time to watch and comment on what I make I always try to respond 🤗 greetings to Poland 🏆
Im so glad that people feel safe in Viet Nam. Thankyou so much and please enjoy your trip, explore our landscapes and also history, cultures, make friends w some locals and enjoy the food too ^^
From Viet Nam with love
Thank you ❤️
Haha 3:24 there you go Chai you are wisdom to the world 🌎
Haha, I had to leave that one in ;P Cheers Dave
Viet Nam needs to grow up a lot. It’s not all rosy.
Will keep an eye out for you in Saigon mate!
Haha cool! I’ll be around 🤩 have a good one
Usable sidewalk and public transport would be nice, I just really dislike how urban development took the amrican and not the japanese/european route
Trừ khi nước Mỹ không có còn sử dụng súng. tôi nghỉ sẻ k bao giờ nuoc Mỹ có được đường phố nhộn nhịp như VN
If you want a safe and peaceful trip, visit the North but it can be quite boring and the locals can be a little strict about the way you dress or how you behave. If you want a full exciting trip, visit the south, it has everything a tourist expected but you have to beware of pickpockets and the gangs, Ho Chi Minh city is considered the Las Vegas of Vietnam and also the most chaotic city. Advice from a local
Fair tradeoffs between the two regions.
I plan to visit Vietnam in June 2024. I m from Dubai, but I m Indian national. Your advice about North is helpful. Thanks🙏
I remember those street vendors that stand on the streets trying to sell you something early in the morning. They are aggressive and annoying at times. Other than that the country and food is lovely. Hoi An is the best for me but getting so busy with tourists.....
Very true. You really need to try to stay calm some times. I always try to keep on smiling and say; No thank you. NO thank you. NO THank you. NO. :P
Even the locals are annoyed so no choice lol
How has no one mentioned the karaoke! Seen many times a group of 5 people keeping the whole neighbourhood up screaming down the mic out of tune lol. I haven’t found this a problem in Hanoi however.
:P it can be a problem if you wanna sleep and there is loud music next door 😅
8:46. CÔ GÁI TÓC VÀNG PHÁT ÂM NHƯ TIẾNG VIỆT LUÔN CÂU " CHUẨN RỒI" 😁😂😂😂

In fact, she said “to Hanoi”.
In the beginning its all smiles but when you stay on and work many people said that when Vietnamese people make mistakes they don't like to take responsibility and admit they're wrong so theres a bit of arrogance. And they like to do things their own way even if it's not working. A friend of mine used to say "common sense isn't common everywhere"
Vietnamese people can be stubborn but the ones that are more exposed to international cultures/experiences will be more open-minded toward learning new ways of doing things. These people help Vietnam become a more developed country through bringing back new ideas to implement alongside the existing culture.
encounter individual components. If everyone was like that, how could the country be as developed as it is today?
3:39 He almost hit by the incoming rider
😅
How about the pollution in Ho Chi Minh city?
In the air? Sometimes it gets pretty bad like most capital cities in SEA. But overall it benefits because it’s near the sea. It’s a pretty clean city I think
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks ❤️
Kiwi guy... It's a communist country, it's got a lot of poverty!
Ridiculous statement. India is not a communist country and has 1 billion people living below the poverty line.
Are you a Communist ?
@@johnnylangen2839 no, Halistani...
He meant well ❤️
In VN only 4%
True, the fact that it's communist is probably why people are happier and the country is growing faster than places like the Philippines. I found life more free and with more opportunities than the UK when I was there. Was going to move there to live and work but because we had no proper covid restrictions in the UK I got severe long covid. In Vietnam and China I wouldn't have got it as they had such effective restrictions in place until vaccination was fully rolled out. Well played to them, they handled covid better than every single western nation bar maybe NZ or Australia
sorry for asking, are you from Hungary/Finland ?
Haha no worries. I’m from the Netherlands (dad was Dutch, mom from Indonesia)
I don’t want to say bad things about Vietnam but I was told that the hygiene is pretty bad and specially the toilets. Besides the toilets in the big malls in Saigon or Hanoi, are there decent toilets in the streets like gas stations or fast food restaurants or grocery stores? I also was told to bring toilet paper if you travel in Vietnam or China because they don’t provide it for you. Is that true?
Yes.! also true here in the Philippines u better be careful very dangerous my country.. so i dont advice u to come anywhere in southeast asia mate 😊❤️ stay there..
At the gas station the toilets can be very dirty 🤭 but it’s not so bad that I advise not to visit. Vietnam is such a beautiful country. Just bring your own wet wipes and toilet after you leave your hotel :)
Guatemalan eo an,she looks like Vietnamese. I think she blends right in!
She felt pretty comfortable in Vietnam 😍
Chai , do you know they do a survey about how the Vietnamese hate or love America ? No such thing that Vietnamese are dislike America , 92% of Vietnamese like Americans . 😊
I didn’t. Cool stats though 😃 thanks for sharing 👋
Sao không là 192% cho "ấn tượng"
As a Vietnamese, confirmed that Vietnamese people like Americans and Japanese the most. @@Chai_Travel
I'm a Vietnamese and from my pov, Vietnamese don't harbour any particular negativity towards American, if anyone is wondering, war is long over anyway and those who does probably won't live much longer. As a person, anyone is welcomed as long as you are nice and well behaved, nobody like a Karen & Ken or someone doing a Logan Paul episode here. Vietnamese are curious and even fascinated about American culture, cuisine and way of life. But some topic such as politics are much left to be debated :)
Người việt nam rất thân thiện và tốt bụng! Hay giúp đỡ mọi người.
Loved Saigon, but Vietnamese are very industrious people, I felt they could take or leave foreigners there
it's actually interesting b/c although Vietnam economy growth is at such a strong rate, yet, poverty is so VISIBLE here. One of the reason is obviously due to corrupted government, and money flow is so narrow to the rich, and etc...
Too many beggars, too many homeless , or too many prostitutes?

Why is the street so empty? where are the motorbikes and cars?
Every weekend they make a part of the city a walking street
People were super friendly, but beware. Some are just looking to try to take advantage like everywhere
Thanks :) that's right. Just be aware like anywhere 🙏
How can this first girl come from Guatemala? She speaks such an accent free english :0 haha usually you can clearly hear our spanish accent.
Haha, so normally I don’t ask; how do you speak such good English. She must have gone to international schools and she’s studying abroad so she very used to talking English. I was surprised too 😁
The girl from Guatemala, I can't tell the difference she's Guatemalan or Vietnamese.
Haha yeah she could be from both :)
I remember calling myself a "traveler" as opposed to a "tourist" as if it would somehow make me better???
Haha not better at all :) just different
@@Chai_Travelno, backpackers believe they are the "real" visitors despite what the locals think of them (not much).
I like to think everyone is different
If you want to live in Vietnam as an expat be prepared to Cover your Eyes, Shut your Mouth and Plug your Ears then you will find Vietnam a “beautiful” country .
That's an odd comment 😵💫
8:21 can't put a pinger on it is she German, Danish or Finnish?
:p she told me she was German
Hanoi people weren’t friendly in general- never ask for a discount, and avoid the club scene. It’s just not safe
Sorry to hear your bad experiences
Ben je Nederlands ?
Ja zeker :) geboren en getogen
The more you stay in Vietnam and get involved in the social life of the people you will understand. As a tourist you don’t really live the normal life of the people. By then you will discover that it’s not really what you think. It’s complicated.
Thanks mate :) I think you’re right 😁 thanks for watching and have a good day
Have to respect Government official buildings with how your dressed.
I see now :) thanks
They are not aware of how polluted the air they are breathing is
Ben je de broer van Arie Boomsma? Je lijkt een beetje op hem😅
Haha ja is dat zo? 😝 dat is de eerste keer dat ik dat hoor. Groetjes
Its Jon ! Not John 😤
Sorry, do you know Mr Jon?/ Mr John.
The government should crack down the taxi mafia, otherwise no tourist will come to visit Hoi An!!
As a communist country the gov't controls the taxi mafia and everything else ... bribery and corruption are in the menu for the daily activities... 80% of tourists won't return to Vietnam because they're afraid to speakout, not like other asian countries like Thailand, Phillipine or others...stop being naive..
Ilove hanoi. Only problem is rain but thats nature.its safer than most european n american cities. Hcm is too modern so ...
Hanoi is a great city to be in :) I like Hcmc too though.
I don't understand why that german went so far to be with her best "friend". Why go so far to be with him/her? They could stick together in their country since that's the purpose and what matters. Strange
🤔
girl, if anyone asks if u traveling alone the answer is always no
:)
All this talk about "safe place especially for women" when its men that are at a higher risk of being victims of violent crime.
Vietnam is pretty and friendly but Thailand beats it in terms of food and entertainment. 5 days in Vietnam with girlfriend I am already kinda bored. I have been in Thailand for 4 times in 2 years and enjoyed almost every day. Vietnam girls are pretty but Thai girls come off more friendly and come off more sexy.
Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion 👋
The ‘american hate’ aspect, believe me! Not exist! Hope to see you here in cao bang province
Trash everywhere, extremely noisy and people have poor manners (rarely say 'thank you' and virtually never say 'sorry' and 'please').
Hmmm they have a different way of communicating though I don’t think it’s meant in a rude way. I guess you either you absolutely love it or you don’t 🤷♂️
mainly in the North of Vietnam
We are shy to say those words. Almost non-existent in our culture.
@@TinhNguyenDota2not shy. Just not raised right
4:52 “it’s a communist county, it’s got a lot of poverty…” 😂😂 as if the capitalist mecca of the world (USA) doesn’t have tons of poverty on the streets of major cities
Sad enough
Crazy that they still keep Hanoi as the capital of VN.
HCM is much better
Well it’s different at least :)
If there were the second capital of Vietnam, it should be Saigon (HCM). Hanoi is more favourable as a capital because the inland location near China/Lao (Communist countries) make it safer for outside attacks. Besides, the unity of Vietnam was achieved under the leadership of Communism, most of whom members come from the North, while the South prefer Capitalism.
