Thanks for sharing. I often hear that digital nomads have difficulty connecting with others, and that seems more evident the more videos I watch. At the same time, I feel most people have difficulty finding that connection regardless of their life situation. The best we can do is put ourselves out there and hope for the best.
That can be the case sometimes. What i found is joining a digital nomad community is a great way to connect with other digital nomads. Thanks for watching ☺️
Community: Thailand and Bali are more popular when it comes to tourism and expat living. So they will have larger communities. I only flew into Da Nang on my way to Hoi An. The food is definitely 5/5 100% all three places we visited (Hanoi, Hoi An, and HCMC (Saigon). I really, didn't see cockroaches, what we saw were huge rats in the parks and in the squares, just playing around and forging for food. And I hate rats. However, it's still one of my favorite countries to visit and even stay for an extended time. I give Vietnam and my experience a 9 out of 10.
I have lived in Thailand for the last 8 years near the beach and just spent 6 weeks in Vietnam especially Da nang. Thai food, especially the street food is so overrated. The food in Da Nang and Hoi An was on a whole another level. I understand about the seasons and times you do not want to be living on the coast of Vietnam but as far as a two month vacation spot to get out of Thailand and enjoy much better accommodations and food, I will be back there for many years to come. Thanks
What is a good time to stay in Vietnam and what is a good time ofthe year to stay in Thailand would you say ? is the food better in Vietnam = less chane of foodpoison but is it as easy to find organic food that i suppose it is in Thailand ? Thank You
I dont get why people move to another country and expect them to speak english. You're a guest in another country. Try learning the culture and languages of the country.
That's called education? We are forced to learn German or English in my country and that's how is working in every country...U can't have a degree with zero foreign language skills in the most country
The living cost is up up and up everywhere now, not just Danang, or Vietnam. In all of the cities in Vietnam, Danang I think still one of the great destination. Few things I don't like about Danang, as a Vietnamese: 1. weather (too hot even for me), 2. food (except for the seafoods, Danang's cuisine is just average comparing to Vietnamese cuisine). Good luck, good health and prosperity ^_^
@@DianHuang Hue's for sure is better than Danang. I'm from the North, I do think Hanoi is the best place for foods in Vietnam. You can try Ho Chi Minh as well. Wish you all the best.
@@DianHuang @cuongdo9958 Dian, Cuong is not wrong, DaNang food is just average. However, central region food is great, such as "Bun Bo Hue". Da Nang is central region as well, so its specialties are "Mi Quang", "Banh Xeo" among other dishes. "Pho" originated from the North, but now we have "pho Bac" & "pho Nam". "Com Tam" & "Banh mi" are southern. I've been all over VN, but I find that HCMC has the best Viet food in VN cuz it has all the food from all the regions (but only if u know where/how to find them). However, this will really pissed off some locals; I find the best Vietnamese food is in Orange County, USA (Little Saigon), much better ingredients and more sanitary, but pay 10x more. Oh, check out Da Lat for peace and quiet, and cool temp, not for partying though. (U r lucky u never got sick. I sometimes get the runs from eating street food, and I was born here, lol, I thought I would have some immunity)
Da Nang is a relatively small city. Much smaller than Bangkok, it is similar to Rizhao in China and Lianyungang City in Weihai. Small coastal cities in South Korea
I think a trip to Ba Na Hills is totally worth it, especially if the weather is good. Not sure where you’re staying but it didn’t take too long to go from My Khe Beach area
So it sounds like you are not from VN, i guess i just assumed you were. You said you are from SE Asia. So just out of curiosity (you don't have to tell me if you don't want to) what part of Asia are you from? Your English is perfect.
great video but disagree with some points. If u have lived in Asia, these are common problems in all countries. Your mind needs to set properly with less expectations before u go any place. But I loved video with details.
lol theres heaps of amazing Vietnamese people to become friends with and marry even lol my best friends and tennis group are local Vietnamese. Also have euro friends everywhere too lol my gf is Viet and unbeatable lol Even the church has many Viets as well, what a shame you nomads never talk about religion in Vietnam as its one of its strengths, a religious place without any crazies or extremes like some other south east or west asian countries and also america hahaha i hate the foreigners ofANY country who just move somewhere and the place they move to awesome fresh start but they just try to make it as much as their home as possible.
Scary maybe in sense of driving that you mean, it's not scary but surely requires some skills of driving that needs to get used to, but it's very safe there in Da Nang overall.
omg did you say roachesss 🤯😵😵💫 i'm ouuuut 🫡😆haha i'll let you know how it goes, i'm still visiting Da Nang for a month soon, wish me luck! Thanks for this good review
@@DianHuangsame here, i studied 15 years to become a doctor and I left everything to travel and make content instead. I am so much happier and I don’t regret it! Best decision ever!!!!

Vietnam = Best Food / Philippines = Best Visa / Thailand = Best Infrastructure.

Great review. I just spent 2 months in Da Nang and agree with all of your opinions.
Community: Thailand and Bali are more popular when it comes to tourism and expat living. So they will have larger communities. I only flew into Da Nang on my way to Hoi An.

I have to disagree. Vietnamese food does not compare to Thai food
@DianHuang, I was in Da Nang/Hoi An from mid January to mid April and the weather was perfect
I heard thats the best time to visit. Would love to go back during that time
Cam On Dian. Very good video!
Seems great, I think it's harder to stay long-term now than it was in the past tho
Let consider vietnam as your second home, we always welcome you guys
Thank you 🤍 Would love to check out some other parts of Vietnam and I miss the food there already

they want to experience the place with a bubble around their precious western aura
After watching this video, I think, I have to watch more of yours. Good 1 Dr.Huang 🙂
Thank you ☺️
Thanks for sharing 🙏 wonderful video 😊
Thank you!
Bali is too expensive and the burning season in Chiang Mai is a dealbreaker. What are the next best options?
Find another part of bali thats still affordable or move out for couple months from chiang mai during the burning season
I have to agree with you on every point! Good video. I am here in Danang now and can confirm everything you are saying.
Including the cockroach problem? 😅
Dian spitting out nothing but truths!
The living cost is up up and up everywhere now, not just Danang, or Vietnam. In all of the cities in Vietnam, Danang I think still one of the great destination.

Oh really? I think the food there is amazing :) which other part of Vietnam would you recommend for expats? And thanks for sharing!

@@benquach3127 thank you! its sounds amazing! vietnamese food is definitely one of the best cuisine out there
I have travelled all over Vietnam and I think Vietnamese food is fabulous, and Da Nang is the best in the country ,so diverse and healthy
Thank you for sharing.
would like to visit Danang given your review. I just worried about the "cococheese" at the beach that you didn't like!
Thx for video. My question is do Vietnamese are kind same as thai people ? Because this is my first priority to go to one new country
The 100% correct Community is the most important
Thank you
Hv you tried langkawi, is it expensive?
I'm sure you can also rent somewhere in Bangkok for $300/month.
Not in a center area like Danang
@@DianHuang You can get anywhere in Bangkok in twenty minutes. Transport links are fantastic. No need to pay city centre rent prices.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964no, in Bangkok not have feeling in Danang
Da Nang is a relatively small city. Much smaller than Bangkok, it is similar to Rizhao in China and Lianyungang City in Weihai. Small coastal cities in South Korea
How name location: Big hand?
What about Chiang Mai during the burning season
Fortunately I wasn’t there during the burning season but i heard it was bad
I saw a lot of rats in danang and other parts of Vietnam. So I get the thing about the cleanliness
Is Ba Na Hills worth the effort and 90 minute trip or better to spend an extra day at the beach?
I think a trip to Ba Na Hills is totally worth it, especially if the weather is good. Not sure where you’re staying but it didn’t take too long to go from My Khe Beach area
Is there any issues renewing tourist visas every 90 days and coming back across the border from Cambodia ?
From what I’ve heard they only let you do it couple times. For long term stay, i do think its better to get a longterm visa
@@DianHuang yikes .. ok thank you 🙏
Is that KDP Sean?
Can you get factory job for me Vietnam am from Nigeria
So it sounds like you are not from VN, i guess i just assumed you were. You said you are from SE Asia. So just out of curiosity (you don't have to tell me if you don't want to) what part of Asia are you from? Your English is perfect.
great video but disagree with some points. If u have lived in Asia, these are common problems in all countries. Your mind needs to set properly with less expectations before u go any place. But I loved video with details.
A bit of first world problems...
Thailand is the best country in Southeast Asia for expatriates, followed by the Philippines.
Love Thailand! I heard some good things about the Philippines too, hopefully will get to check it out soon
Process of elimination. No straight path in life.
If u dont like ur career, change.
lol theres heaps of amazing Vietnamese people to become friends with and marry even lol
my best friends and tennis group are local Vietnamese. Also have euro friends everywhere too lol
my gf is Viet and unbeatable lol
Even the church has many Viets as well, what a shame you nomads never talk about religion in Vietnam as its one of its strengths, a religious place without any crazies or extremes like some other south east or west asian countries and also america hahaha
i hate the foreigners ofANY country who just move somewhere and the place they move to awesome fresh start but they just try to make it as much as their home as possible.
Exactly right about none of these nomads seem to ever talk about religious things. Probably they are more interested in money than God.
Sounds like a very scary place to live
Scary maybe in sense of driving that you mean, it's not scary but surely requires some skills of driving that needs to get used to, but it's very safe there in Da Nang overall.
omg did you say roachesss 🤯😵😵💫 i'm ouuuut 🫡😆haha i'll let you know how it goes, i'm still visiting Da Nang for a month soon, wish me luck! Thanks for this good review
Yes 😂 well, i went at the wrong time too. But i heard its really nice during april or may. Hope you’ll enjoy it there :)
May I know in which country were you working as a doctor previously?
*_Chào Diana Huang ở Đà Nẵng_* !
from doctor to digital marketing? that's crazy, 7 years of school down the toilet
Have lots way to be success
I chose to sacrifice 7 years instead of the next 20 years :)
smart move!@@DianHuang
