    hi Vietnamese here, I've been on this type sleeper train before. I went on a school trip with my class and the coach we were in only had 4 beds per cabin, so it was more peaceful and it's definitely better to be in one with people you know than random strangers. also the black knob above the outlet is the announcer volume control, I also messed with it on our trip cuz me and my mates thought it was to adjust the AC....
    we were all bombarded with train stop announcements the whole night. though I'd travel on it again, it's pretty fun to go with a big group and book a whole coach for your group.
    the toilet there is definitely not fun.

  • @Kaisersozze
    @Kaisersozze Рік тому +15

    I don't know why you guys don't travel with earplugs. It's safe enough to use them since you're in a safe country and not solo. The malleable silicone ones for swimming are the best. Literally the third thing of things to bring for me when traveling after passport and credit card.

    A great video, thank you very much! I remember those sleeper trains in Vietnam well. If you buy your tickets earlier the same day, or the day in advance, you can by chance get the lower bunk beds. In summer season sleeping in the upper ones can be really torturing. For travels I always take earplugs and eye-covers with me, as the snoring or the keep-the-lights-switched-on roommates are more than abundant throughout the world.

    I once flew business class (!!!) from Beijing to Frankfurt by a Chinese airline, and a drunk Chinese businessman in my row was snoring just like that for the entire flight. He passed out as soon as we got in and began roaring mad. The crew apologised but ignored all our pleas to wake him up. His wife kept smiling apologetically but did absolutely nothing to stop his snoring. Good thing I had noise cancelling earphones, had to sleep while blasting music into my ears… I still don’t understand why the crew chose to let him go like that for 12 hours straight.

    Three people on a horrific sleeper train at $50 each, or $150. For about twice that, you could have pooled your funds and hired a private car with a driver. You would have been able to travel during the day, make stops, see sights and film more content. You could have made some of the money back by staying in a somewhat less swanky hotel in Nha Trang. There are probably some far cheaper places near the beach. I lived in Vietnam for 10 years and always ate cheap and saved money on lodgings. But I would never take their buses or trains which are all levels of awfulness, as you experienced. Always hire a car.
