Hello Mandy and Lloyd, I've been following your youtube channel for over a month now. I love how authentic and genuine you are on your videos so thank you for sharing your dreams of living you life unconventionally with us. XX
@@LloydandMandy I'm actually interested to sign up for your online course how to make money online...i will do that sometime in August I hope you will still offer it till then. :)
You guys made a wrong bus! This one is for local only! As a foreigner tourist, you guys should take a VIP bus or VIP train or a plane! Anyways, enjoy your time in the northern of vietnam. You are gonna love it!!
I took a sleeper train from Da Nang to Hanoi, I was alone and shared a sleeping carriage with a Vietnamese family, kinda fun and entertaining, still got some sleep, but once was enough! I feel sometimes you don’t do enough research, there is so much online that can be helpful in wherever your going nowadays, that it can minimise some problems like you experience! I’ve taken many long distance buses, yes they are cheap and usually faster than the train, but in my experience it’s always better to take the train!
Wow! you did not visit Hue. Nice, peaceful, and good other foods you can find beyond the noodle dishes. Actually, in Thailand we have similar name of dish, “Cao Lao” (เกาเหลา) which you can order from any noodle shop and you will get any meats, fish balls, etc. and soup except noodle. Sometimes we order “cao lao” to eat with steamed rice.
not sure what prices are like now, but last trip we did in 2018, we did 3 domestic flights in Vietnam. The most we paid was $50Au, the least was $28 for Can Tho to Danang.
Wow huge thing travel with pets, big problem is getting back in rabies etc , quarantine problems bringing your pet back to Oz, you might loose him to quarantine in oz for 4 to 6 months and the cost is huge, so we looked at it but didn't want to have him caged up and $4000 in costs just to quarantine
Vietnamese only take the bus if it's like 5hrs and under, more than that they fly, since domestic plane ticket is super cheap ranging from 200k to 2mil VND, which most people spend on a single meal at a high end restaurant
If you want a comfortable trip, you need to call the right VIP bus company for many utilities , like Limousine. Take the train if you want freedom of movement. And book a flight to save time to ẹnioy. Think of yourself as experiencing life like a local ^^! Have a nice journey
Hi guys, Loving being part of your travels. Re bringing “Bear” along for the ride, get in touch with Max from “Max & Occy”. He’s back in Oz now but travelled everywhere with Occy so will know all the answers. Cheers Keith
I find it very convenient to have an EU pet passport when traveling with a dog. It is far more organized than the paperwork the US issues. EU Pet passport is a booklet similar in size to your passport, the US paperwork is a multipage document. It was 20-30 euro in Greece. This paperwork cost around $200 in California. I've driven/flown with our dogs to 14 countries so far. The car was very easy compared to the plane. We have flown in cabin with United, Lufthansa, Norwegian Air, TUI, Delta & Bangkok Airways. Americas are easiest, Europe is more complex, Asia is a chess match for traveling with anything bigger than a cat. Always carry copies of your animal documents and never hand over the originals if avoidable. What breed of dog do you have? Weight? We had some weird pickup and drop off spots in Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia.
Wow, è fantastico vedere altri che fanno trading con Annie Harris, sono attualmente alla mia quinta operazione con lei e il mio portafoglio è cresciuto enormemente.
Investo anche con Harris, lei addebita una commissione del 20% sul profitto realizzato dopo ogni sessione di trading ed è giusto rispetto allo sforzo che fa per realizzare enormi profitti
Ho fatto trading con molte persone ma non ho mai incontrato nessuno bravo come Harris, solo applicando le sue strategie ora faccio trading in modo indipendente. è la migliore che consiglierei a qualsiasi principiante nell'investire per fare trading con lei
Incredibile Ho anche appena iniziato a fare trading con Annie Harris, è la migliore in quello che fa con un investimento iniziale di 1400€ ho guadagnato fino a 5230€ in appena una settimana di trading con lei, le sue strategie sono strabilianti
Mandy ……. I love 💕 that you love dogs 🐕!!!! I do too. Totally 💯 get the “missing your baby” I have my dog here. Best friend ever. It’s really hard been away from them. Really hard 😔🤗
Hopefully you'll start sharing content beyond night market food, bus rides & being hungover. Seems like you're blowing through the country, not much time in any one place? A little more history & detail of where you are would be appreciated too. I think your editing skills are great though! The shots, visuals, music are so well done! You both seem genuine which is lovely to watch! I look forward to watching you evolve as UA-camrs/digital nomads. Much love from Canada:)
The sleeper carriages on the trains are actually pretty good, plus you can move to other carriages and there's a dining carriage up front, oh well, next time!
Getting some of the Lower Mekong in my mouth led to me becoming very unwell in Can Tho a couple of years back. Would still reccomend the area. Lose weight now, ask me how!
@@foodhistory1387 even being Vietnamese myself travelling back I always get sick you just got to be prepared for it , i always get my medicine before travelling to Vietnam 😅
I always fly between cities in Vietnam. The bus and trains are not the best. You guys should absolutely slow down and enjoy the experience of being in a new city and country. I would spend at least a week or month in each place. I’m in Hoi An for a month or two or more and getting to know it better and better
@@livetodaydietomorrowltdt2405 $100 to $200. But when you’re spending thousands of dollars on a trip of a lifetime I don’t believe in suffering to save a little bit. In ten years you’ll never miss $100. But if you have a terrible experience you’ll never forget it
Depends what type of dog he is with coping and whether travelling around will stress him out , whether its fair on him and if its better for him to just stay with family until you get settled somewhere more permanent. You have to remember public transport and accommodation options when you have a pet with you and if America is easier to travel with pets then it might not be as difficult. On the other hand he most likely love seeing you both again and will enjoy bring around you and visiting new places too, sorry dont have any experience in pet travelling
been watching your journey in vn and would be interested to know your take in terms of pros/cons of living in Vietnam ( including rents, daily living, recreational, people ) compared to other south east asia countries. Keep up the great works and best wishes
Even normal Vietnamese take flights not long buses. Cheap Flights are not much higher than buses but they are much more convenient, shorter time, safer, less tired. Now only people with little money use long buses
I travelled to vietnam few years ago, and that is kinda sleeper bus i took from sa pa to ha noi.. from ha noi to sa pa, i took an overnight train, i admit that trains and buses system in vietnam are away behind from indonesia (especially java island transportation). Geez, the dinner was so awful. Again, dinner for overnight buses in overland java is wayyyy better than this.. Anyway, the toilet in vietnam just exactly look like in indonesia, the squad toilet. Since both of you only visited bali, which are resort n hotels, but if you visit a local house, they have the similar squad toilet, for real.
I felt so sad that things didn't go as expected. The schedule was wrong and the food order was wrong; you were tired after 16-17 hours on the bus. I truly didn't understand why big cities like Danang didn't even have VIP sleeper buses! Love you positive thinking.
Vietman is in our plan for next year and its just amazing to check out your vlogs and prepare for it ❤ we are looking for the perfect location as well, What do you think about Australia?
My wife and I were in Da Nang 5 years ago. We booked all these tours and were very excited about it. The first day there we had this local noodle soup dish that got us extremely sick. We spent the next 4 days in our hotel washroom and canceled all of our fun activities 🤣
First time in Vietnam 🇻🇳 we went to Danang and the hotel was decorated in such a terribly gaudy decor that we changed hotels. That was 12 years ago. I didn’t like Danang but then we went to Hoi An and I loved it. Now I always skip Danang and go straight to Hoi An. In my opinion they are like night and day
We recently went to Vietnam 2 months for a short holiday and to also visit our Vietnamese friends. We took the sleeper bus from Saigon to Nha Trang and one of our Vietnamnese friend help us book a ticket and boy it was really uncomfortable. The “bus station” was in the middle of nowhere, ticket counter was weird like it wasn’t even a shop ?! Bus drivers didn’t check our tickets we just followed this person who process the tickets at the counter. And none of the bus drivers spoke English, even with Google translate they don’t understand as we wanted to confirm the sleeper bus is to nha trang and not anywhere else. So we just followed and trust the staff and man, along the way they kept picking up random people at random stops and seeing them hand the drivers money directly so I assume it was “illegal”. Even tho the bus was packed, those random people coming up just slept or sit on the floor beside us. Like wot the fck? So throughout the night I had to hold my belongings tightly just to be safe. And when we reach Nha Trang, they didn’t have a designated stop. They just randomly stop ? at random places every now and then and we had to use our Google maps as an estimation. Once they stop at a random area which is near our hotel we just got off in that middle of nowhere with our big luggages and took a grab to our hotel. It was near impossible to ask the drivers or anyone on what’s happening because no one speaks english. I almost had a break down because it was pretty nerve wrecking. Glad I experience once but never again. MAYBE I would do a sleeper bus again provided if communications especially with tourists/foreigners have improved even the slightest in the near future or if I am travelling on the sleeper bus with a Vietnamese friend where at least there’s a local with us to do the talking/communication. Other than that, I would rather spend more on a domestic flight. In fact when we came back from Nha Trang back to Saigon to head back our home country, we took the domestic flight which was so much easier and hassle free. That’s just my experience.
This probably not that bad but rather quite surprising when I visited Cambodia. I booked for a guest house through AirB*B and I was quite surprised because we have to sleep with like 10 other people in one room. I tried looking for a cheap hotel nearby but they're quite pricey since most of them are still using USD. So finally I got back to that guest house and on the first day, the water pump was broken, so we decided to have a water fighting while showering at the front yard. Finally I was happy with my decision cos I met lots of people from around the world and made it one of my most memorable trip ever! 😁
Love your content. I'm surprised and slightly disappointed that you didn't share the beauty of Danang. An amazing city with so much to do and see. P.S. When using sleeper buses in SE Asia, ALWAYS use the VIP class buses. Super comfortable and less sketchy clientele.
G'day Mandy and Lloyd (sorry mate, Mandy's turn to be "1st")...feel great sympathy for you both. My worst trip (bus) was a journey many years ago on an overnighter from Sydney to Melbourne, took me a week to get my back feeling normal, an absolute nightmare, but it fades into insignificance to the one you both have endured! By the way, enjoying flicking back through you previous vlogs, I'm going to be entertained for a while...cheers, look forward to keeping pace with "L&M"...Gaz
Think I became sub 70k! I understand leaving pets behind as we've left our dog too since March... It's hard, but just think of that reunion you'll have! Hey, we're taking a sleeper bus that we also bought on 12go Da Nang to Hanoi. The bus company showing on the ticket is TechBus or TBus. Is this the same company you rode? Also the pickup point... Were you in the right location? Thanks 🙏 and safe travels always!! 🐾
I understand your convenience when it come to plastic and cash. Vietnamese do the same thing in the US. "Cash Only", is a way to hide income the from the (IRS) government. It also a way to avoid paying fees for transaction on credit card. Some don't want to keep records.
Yes but its also an hour before you need to be there so thats also 30 mins time allowed so it can be 4 hours. Also with flight delays happening frequently here. The bus is less dramas. Just get seated at go go go. Probably need a sleeper bus. I had a luxury bus from HCMC to Dalat and i would rather do 10 hours on there vs one hour flight stress. Plus its 10 % of the price and bus moves quickly whereas trains are slightly faster than human running speeds
The buses here can be very hit and miss. As i'm over 6ft tall i usually give them a pass as not so comfortable. The train is really cool though but it's pretty expensive and can take a while, beautiful scenery though a lot of the time.
Hey guys, I do know that eva zu beck, eamon and bec & kinging it UA-cam channels all have dogs when travelling. Eva has just adopted and is doing north to South America right now. Hope that helps and am sure they would all welcome you with advice on travelling with your ❤️🐾🐾
Double up the tiny chairs mate, lest one breaks and you become a spectacle. Speaking from experience, here 😀 Flying intra-VN is much better, cheap and reliable, especially between the bigger cities. The VIP sleeper cabin bus to Hoi An was nice though.
In VN if you don`t speak or understand the language , a lot of misunderstandings could happen , particularly in rural areas . Google Translate and Google Maps most of the time don`t do a good job.
That's usual life in VN. Most Vietnamese used the service, including me. Lloyd & Mandy are not on a luxury tour but they are living in VN the way we live.
They lack real experience the way of Vietnam live. You can point the food you want, they will serve exactly. That bus is local bus, not tourist bus. So every stop-station, services can not speak english. asking someone on bus to know who can speak english to help translate
Very much this! A little bit of research & planning go a long way which will lead to a much better experience. Hopefully their content improves as most of their Vietnam vlogs come across as inexperienced travelers just looking for cheap beer.
I had bad experiences with horrible bus services and am sad to see you had to go through all these. Better services are out there. Next time just ask if you don't know something for sure. You can even post here. People can help you choose good ones, not bad ones like this. So sorry, though I have been through something like this. And I am VNese.
I hate riding buses in long distance traveling in Vietnam. They are going in Kilometer Per Hour not Mile Per Hour. Traveling at the speed of 30-35 Mile Per Hour is like moving like a turtle. I did one time from Saigon to Da Lat, my butt literally fell asleep. I know how you guys feel. ^_^
Importing pet 🐶 into the US should be pretty straightforward, they would outline what immunization paper work/doctor is required (maybe immigration website). To increase subscribers you should collaborate with other UA-camrs, especially popular one. There are a few in Vietnam : Phuc map vlog, Chris in ha noi, max, Dustin...
Sorry it’s just my opinion but I’ve seen a lot over many years and I realized you can’t have everything. You can have a home and pets or travel the world but not both… unless you’re filthy rich. I’m actually glad I never had a big house and brilliant career because consequently I’ve been free to do a lot of traveling
I think, if you have an animal as a guide, or emotional companion you are able to take them on some of the airlines. Sorry, I haven’t had a pet because of my job. I can’t wait until I am able to own an animal. I want a Chimmy chinchilla, that’s probably the wrong way to say it but it’s a cute little rodent.
Travelan (and comparable brands) are bovine colostrum; up to 90% reduction in E. Coli "issues". One day I hope to be sponsored by them 😂😂Great investment if you want to smash questionable street food and face a 12-hour bus trip the next day.... Worst travel experience? Rapid weight-loss in S.E. Asia.
Getting your dog back to Aus will kill you mentally & financially. Check out sailing nanji and the hassles they had to get their dog back in aus borders.

The cities really do light up at night. Makes you realise how truly boring Australia is at night time.
I'm glad both of you made it safely. You ostensibly learned from your long expedition of what not to do next time.

Loved your videos from Vietnam. I haven’t been back since 2018 but planning a trip in September. Thanks for showing us what’s it like after COVID
Vietnamese only take the bus if it's like 5hrs and under, more than that they fly, since domestic plane ticket is super cheap ranging from 200k to 2mil VND, which most people spend on a single meal at a high end restaurant
For visitors, the train from Danang to Hue is worthwhile; the bus can not drive on the cliffs next to the ocean!
If you want a comfortable trip, you need to call the right VIP bus company for many utilities , like Limousine. Take the train if you want freedom of movement. And book a flight to save time to ẹnioy. Think of yourself as experiencing life like a local ^^! Have a nice journey

Love your content. I'm surprised and slightly disappointed that you didn't share the beauty of Danang. An amazing city with so much to do and see. P.S. When using sleeper buses in SE Asia, ALWAYS use the VIP class buses. Super comfortable and less sketchy clientele.
G'day Mandy and Lloyd (sorry mate, Mandy's turn to be "1st")...feel great sympathy for you both. My worst trip (bus) was a journey many years ago on an overnighter from Sydney to Melbourne, took me a week to get my back feeling normal, an absolute nightmare, but it fades into insignificance to the one you both have endured! By the way, enjoying flicking back through you previous vlogs, I'm going to be entertained for a while...cheers, look forward to keeping pace with "L&M"...Gaz
My cats have traveled with me to China, Thailand, Cambodia, USA and Mexico. It’s not always easy but it’s definitely possible. 🐱
Think I became sub 70k! I understand leaving pets behind as we've left our dog too since March... It's hard, but just think of that reunion you'll have! Hey, we're taking a sleeper bus that we also bought on 12go Da Nang to Hanoi. The bus company showing on the ticket is TechBus or TBus. Is this the same company you rode? Also the pickup point... Were you in the right location? Thanks 🙏 and safe travels always!! 🐾
Boy am i glad i watched this
I understand your convenience when it come to plastic and cash. Vietnamese do the same thing in the US. "Cash Only", is a way to hide income the from the (IRS) government. It also a way to avoid paying fees for transaction on credit card. Some don't want to keep records.
10 hours on a bus?!! The flight is only one hour
Yes but its also an hour before you need to be there so thats also 30 mins time allowed so it can be 4 hours. Also with flight delays happening frequently here.
The bus is less dramas. Just get seated at go go go.
Probably need a sleeper bus. I had a luxury bus from HCMC to Dalat and i would rather do 10 hours on there vs one hour flight stress. Plus its 10 % of the price and bus moves quickly whereas trains are slightly faster than human running speeds
The buses here can be very hit and miss. As i'm over 6ft tall i usually give them a pass as not so comfortable. The train is really cool though but it's pretty expensive and can take a while, beautiful scenery though a lot of the time.
Guys if you want to travel with your pet be prepared to spend plenty of coin
Ooops long journey, but you both look great, enjoy, your young
Hey guys, I do know that eva zu beck, eamon and bec & kinging it UA-cam channels all have dogs when travelling. Eva has just adopted and is doing north to South America right now. Hope that helps and am sure they would all welcome you with advice on travelling with your ❤️🐾🐾
Double up the tiny chairs mate, lest one breaks and you become a spectacle. Speaking from experience, here 😀 Flying intra-VN is much better, cheap and reliable, especially between the bigger cities. The VIP sleeper cabin bus to Hoi An was nice though.
한국어 자막 덕분에 편안하게 시청하고 있습니다.
앞으로도 계속 한국어 자막을 사용해주세요!
좋은 영상 감사합니다.
Probably would have been cheaper to just fly if it's that long of a trip...or book the bus that 2Passports 1Dream did. Their bus looked amazing.
In VN if you don`t speak or understand the language , a lot of misunderstandings could happen , particularly in rural areas . Google Translate and Google Maps most of the time don`t do a good job.
Should have opted for the train guys, I've done both train and bus and bus is a pain!
I just subscribed for you guys as I have watched some good vids thanks guys. But this vid was boring AF! Lift your game Dudes 👏🏼
16:24 I can't believe you guys have to go through this. This dinner was terrible. 😐
That's usual life in VN. Most Vietnamese used the service, including me. Lloyd & Mandy are not on a luxury tour but they are living in VN the way we live.
They lack real experience the way of Vietnam live. You can point the food you want, they will serve exactly. That bus is local bus, not tourist bus. So every stop-station, services can not speak english. asking someone on bus to know who can speak english to help translate
@@quangvinh1153 So true
Are you not the same people that booked a hotel in Bali that’s not ready yet? Think you might need to prepare a bit before you go somewhere.
Very much this! A little bit of research & planning go a long way which will lead to a much better experience. Hopefully their content improves as most of their Vietnam vlogs come across as inexperienced travelers just looking for cheap beer.
@@sabrinas2181 You sound a very arrogant person!
WOW！Nice😍 good sharing
Ok am I the only one who talks to my dogs of the phone? 🐕🦺
just a part of the journey..😅😅..not all days sunshine
do you want to go to best place in vietnam like me? this is Phu Quoc Island , it's very fantastic
I had bad experiences with horrible bus services and am sad to see you had to go through all these. Better services are out there. Next time just ask if you don't know something for sure. You can even post here. People can help you choose good ones, not bad ones like this. So sorry, though I have been through something like this. And I am VNese.
Also out of curiosity- are you getting stared because of your vlog ( holding camera) or because you're a foreigner ( blond hair and blue eyes)?
Bus in VIET NAM took long hours as airplane from us to VIETNAM haha
Well let's see it from the bright side. You pay for 10-hours and you got 17 hours ride! Just kidding. Hope you enjoy Vietnam.
viel Glück in Hanoi 😍
Hello, Thailand miss you 🤗🙏
I hate riding buses in long distance traveling in Vietnam. They are going in Kilometer Per Hour not Mile Per Hour. Traveling at the speed of 30-35 Mile Per Hour is like moving like a turtle. I did one time from Saigon to Da Lat, my butt literally fell asleep. I know how you guys feel. ^_^
Importing pet 🐶 into the US should be pretty straightforward, they would outline what immunization paper work/doctor is required (maybe immigration website). To increase subscribers you should collaborate with other UA-camrs, especially popular one. There are a few in Vietnam : Phuc map vlog, Chris in ha noi, max, Dustin...
Check with another UA-camr couple Tim and Fin on their advice how to travel with dog. I think they are traveling with their dog Pepper.
Sorry it’s just my opinion but I’ve seen a lot over many years and I realized you can’t have everything. You can have a home and pets or travel the world but not both… unless you’re filthy rich.
I’m actually glad I never had a big house and brilliant career because consequently I’ve been free to do a lot of traveling
The best time travel to Hanoi is December, not now
How much was the bus?
Cau Lou was my favorite it Hoi An. They told me it’s only made in Hoi An. I looked for it in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and didn’t find it.
It is only considered 'genuine' if the water used to make the noodles is from a select couple of wells in Hoi An. This makes it a hyper-regional dish.
Hey if 6'4 Anthony Bourdain can do it so can u mate .
Would it not be better to fly to Hanoi?
better yes, cheaper no
traveling yogjakarta , or sumatra indonesia
I think, if you have an animal as a guide, or emotional companion you are able to take them on some of the airlines. Sorry, I haven’t had a pet because of my job. I can’t wait until I am able to own an animal. I want a Chimmy chinchilla, that’s probably the wrong way to say it but it’s a cute little rodent.
Lloyd looks like Harrison from MAF’s haha
Whats Maf's?
Travelan (and comparable brands) are bovine colostrum; up to 90% reduction in E. Coli "issues". One day I hope to be sponsored by them 😂😂Great investment if you want to smash questionable street food and face a 12-hour bus trip the next day.... Worst travel experience? Rapid weight-loss in S.E. Asia.
Those bus rides look too grueling. It's around $100 usd to fly on Vietjet. Flying is the way to go.
No idea why you put yourself through that when there is an excellent train service.
Getting your dog back to Aus will kill you mentally & financially. Check out sailing nanji and the hassles they had to get their dog back in aus borders.
Thật đáng tiếc vì hai bạn đã đi nhầm xe buýt chỉ dành cho người dân bản địa. Ở Việt Nam có nhiều xe buýt chất lượng cao dành riêng cho khách đi du lịch, hai bạn hãy rút kinh nghiệm ở hành trình tiếp theo nếu đi bằng xe buýt nhé. Hãy đặt xe buýt qua công ty dịch vụ chuyên về du lịch bạn vẫn có thể trải nghiệm cuộc sống gần gũi như người dân địa phương và chất lượng.
Need to do a bit more research guys, check distances, read blogs from other travellers. This seemed to be a video of complaints, about the buses, the food.
Yes! A few of their vlogs are ill prepared.
great Vlog
U have to go to Dalat my home town.
This kind of way will not happen when you are in Thailand, time is important to travel, may you enjoy it.🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Can u put the dog inside of ur stomach? 🐣
Training ur dog not to move too much?
I’m so smart n sometimes I’m scared of myself.🐣
Cannabis will solve ur travel mishaps.
I love your videos but I don’t understand why you are rushing through Vietnam and Thailand? Why not spend more time in each place and enjoy it?
