I'm Saigonese, Viet Nam. Your video is really really amazing and very impressive. I'm not only happy but also very proud of about my own beautiful country. We always welcome forein tourists to travel to Viet Nam. Thank you very much , hope you have a great time joining with us I'm looking forward to watching a couple of other videos about traveling.
+Minh Thảo Phan Thị Thank you so much! Wow it's a amazing to read your comment! We loved travelling through your country and had an awesome time! I hope that many people will see the beauty of Vietnam . Cheers
I had an amazing time in Nha Trang, everyone told us not to go and we would have missed some of the best days of our trip if we'd listened. Bo Ho waterfall is a short scooter ride away with an awesome hike up. They have 2 mile long cable car ride out to an island thats essentially a discount Disneyland with an amazing waterpark for just 30 bucks a day. No lines. Nightlife and beaches were great too.
+pc5505 good tip! Thank you for that advice so maybe some fellow travelers will read this and think about stoping here. We didn't stay here and enjoyed some other places! But yes thanks for your comment
I travelled to Vietnam for the first time this year in June and made a travel vlog about it. The country was such a new experience for me. I'm living in Japan and never thought other Asien countries could surprise me that much!
HowTube Thanks for the reply. Japan is great. But I work and that's again different from traveling or making an exchange etc. I also started to work recently, so I still have to get used to it. Well hope you can make it to Japan very soon. Maybe I can show you around one day XD
+The Israeli Guys wow mate this is awesome feedback! Really! Thank you very much! Hope you will have a great time on your trip! Are you going to Vietnam?
my pleasure man.you videos are truly informative.Yes i'm planning a 4 month trip in asia for me and my 3 friends.i bought the tickets to day =] keep the videos coming.
Thank you for your comment. I wish I was still a kid ;) just got 30 and i am working more than 40 hours a week in an office 🤷🏻♂️🤗😂 but maybe one day unplayable with toys for a living
Awesome video! I will use it as a base to plan my trip around Vietnam :) Could you please inform me which tour company did you choose to take the Cat Ba tour? Thanks :)
Well I like nha trang and da nang. The beaches there is amazing. On the contrary I did not enjoy hui an. I feel there is nothing there just like melaka town in Malaysia.
Hi, thank you for your comment. So we didn’t book anything in advance. But we were quite flexible moving around and checking different locations. With kids you maybe want to be a bit more fix in finding your hotels. But it’s easy to travel around with kids! Yes definitely a good country for that :)
SMALL TIP ---In Vietnam, if you want to buy something in the street and Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City, u have to bargain the price with the sellers because they make the price HIGHER for the foreigners.
Perfect tip! Thank you so much. Yes we did that quite a lot. Verena was really good in bargaining at the end. She adapted to the bargain culture. I think it was even quite fun for the Vietnamese people and for us
castaway tour in ha long bay is the best. It was the best time of my life. You have to book it though vietnam backpackers hostel downtown hanoi. It is about 300 us dollars but it is very worth it.
Sounds great! Thank you for the tip!This will help people for sure! We saw that this tour was offered but we decided to go to Cat Ba. Now I hear about that Castaway quite a llot!
You guys are wonderful. I bet you enjoy the trip. But skipping Da Nang & Nha Trang was a pity, cause these are the 2 cities that I would come back again if I have a chance. - Da Nang is a peaceful city with nice bridges (Dragon Bridge...) nice beach (My Khe) and a trip to Ba Na Hills (World's longest & highest non-stop cable car) would be wonderful, with beautiful scenery, cool weather. - Nha Trang city's beach is as just ordinary as other beaches, but take a ride to the islands and things will change, there's paradise.
Mate, first of all, thank you very much for your feedback. Maybe we shouldnt have skipped those two places, but we also didnt have that much time! One day when we go back, I will give Da Nang and Na Thrang a try.
hey, cheers for the comment :) so we stayed for 29 days exactly. I think its necessary if you want to cover everything from north to south. Do you plan to go?
Hi! I booked a ticket to vietnam for 15 days this december and planning on going to Ho Chi Minh-Hoi an-Phong Nha-Cat Ba-Hanoi-Sapa-Ho Chi Minh. I'm planning to travel by land the whole trip, is this itinerary achievable? do you know how long the bus trips would be from city to city? what the approximate budget would be? I really liked your video and would definitely appreciate your help.
+Michelle Andre Bernad Hi :) thank you so much for your comment. So we paid less than 30 euros for the open bus ticket from HCMC to Hue. The single bus tickets are not that expensive either. So probably around 5-10 bucks for one ride, I guess. The distance between HCMC and hoi An is loooong! You won't make it in one day. We stopped in Mui Ne and Dalat. I think from dalat to hoi an it was an over night ride - long ride. So probably do at least one stop on the way. Hoi an to phong Nha is not that long half a day ride by bus. Phong Nha to cat Ba is a long ride again. You need at least one night. Cat Ba to Hanoi maybe half a day / 5 hours. Hanoi to sapa overnight train ride - by bus doable in a couple of hours. I think your schedule is a lil bit hard for 15 days. We did it in 29 days. Had a few more stops but the country is quite long. Maybe ...you should fly in between to save time. You definitely need to fly from Hanoi to HCMC. I hope this helps you in a way? Feel free to ask me more :) cheers
+M Me hey hey yes, you are right. So you need polio, thypus, hepatitis a+b, you should get rabbies (we didnt have it, but could be a Risk) and japanese encephalitis for some places in Laos, Cambodia etc. Does this help? I think Thats about it. And take Malaria pills with you. We didn't take them as you don't need to. Right now we are in Madagascar where you have to take them anyways. Cheers
ohh, your video is amazing! :-) (y) ...I have a question, how did you protect against mosquito and ilnesses? Did you vaccinate, use repellent with DEEt or ? thank you :-)
Hey hey! Thank you so much for your comment!! I am really happy to read that. I actually made three videos about that :) video about how to protect from mosquitos etc.: ua-cam.com/video/nyUhKp0DMBA/v-deo.html video about malaria: ua-cam.com/video/BZK5MSi6DrU/v-deo.html video about vaccines: ua-cam.com/video/fKdJGGtzuho/v-deo.html Do the videos help you? DEET is good! Mosquito coils are awesome, the right clothes too (check the first video). You don't really need vaccines for mosquitos (check the third video :)). Malaria pills only in certain countries (not Vietnam) ..... :)
Which is the best season and time to travel to Hanoi excluding winter? Is it true that we needs to be aware of pickpocket there? Do they have some English signage in their airport or anywhere?
Hey hey I mean between November to April it’s a bit colder but also dry. So I think it’s fine all the time. As you want get heavy rainfalls. Which is the biggest problem in South east Asia They told us their are some pickpockets and scams. But just take care nothing will happen. We loved Hanoi!!! And didn’t have any problems. Also we only understand English and didn’t really have a problem either with the language. I überm been to the airport but for example train station and everything was doable for us
Good to find your video. I need all information you can send me. I'll have 12 days in Vietnam and I need to learn all I can and decide where to go. Please help!
+Rossana Arcos hey would love to help you! 12 days is not a lot :) BUT to help you. What is your plan? Where do you start your trip? Do you want to explore north or south? Is there any must see for you? Would love to give you some advice :) thanks for your feedback
Hey.i plan to travel to ho chinh ming City in early January for about 2 weeks .mainly wanna see some culture ,food and beaches which are not too far away from Saigon.coudl you give me some suggestions?🤗🤗
Hey hey, if you are in HCMC I would focus in the area, Mekong Delta (Can Tho), Phu Quoc island and Mui Ne. This where you find some beaches and also culture! If you want to go a bit more central you need to fly. But the places I just mentioned should be reachable very easy in this time. Does this help you?
+هاوي عود. Hey, Thank you a lot for your feedback bro. If you want to go on Honeymoon in Vietnam you should probably Check out the island Phu Quoc . We havent been there but people told us it's amazing. ,
I'm going to Vietnam this July. Will spend 3 days there. I need your suggestions, what places I should visit to maximize my 3 days trip? I'm from Indonesia and will be landing and take off in/from Ho Chi Minh City
+Fernando Simandalahi oh three days? You cannot see a lot mate! Let's say either you stay one day in Ho Chi Minh city and than you do a trip to Mekong delta region stay there for a night and go back to ho chi min city...or you go to mui ne for one day and back. That are the only options. I am from Indonesia too :)
HowTube Big thanks for this really fast response, buddy. Noted! Hopefully I can use my time wisely. Haha. (No! You're NOT from Indonesia. You're so good in English! I was guessing that you're from the Philippine or somewhere from Asia but not frm Indonesia, tho. Is wishing that I can join you guys on a trip someday). Terima kasih, sekali lagi.
haha sorry for answering so late now. Was busy the last couple of days! try to use your time wisely ;) :D Haha yes, I am from Indo...I mean half right. Half Indo half German - they used to call me Gado Gado. I dont speak Indonesian though (only sedikit):( I know really bad. But Terima kasih for your feedback! Maybe I see you on the next trip to Indo. Not sure when this will be. Thank you a lot mate! Have fun in Vietnam!
+Hai Nguyen hey hey. So in bigger towns or places where it could be quite hard to find something, we checked out some places online in advance! We didn't always book them. Sometimes we just checked out online round about where we want to stay and went there directly or ask the tuk tuk to take us there or walked there. Sometimes (not often) we booked a hotel online. Because in mui ne for example it was cheaper online. This didn't happen a lot. In really small towns we just walked to some hotels or guest houses or backpackers and asked for the price. Seriously be quite flexible with that. You won't have a lot of trouble. Always research a bit so you have a name of a place just in case you don't find anything. This was a good way to travel for us!
Thanks very much TheHowTube, I like your approach. I grew up in Vietnam but I did not know the country well enough and want to travel more when time permits. I'll watch your other youtube clips. You explained everything very well.
haha hey mate, thank you sor much for your comment!!! :) yeah you are right! I am half German half Indonesian. Not many people get it? Where are you from?
Trang Le, that’s really great Where are you based at ? Are you dealing with operating fascinating tour ? How much would cost me for 10 days ? I am a solo traveler, like food, beaches and night life Pl advice
Hitesh Tailor I dont know how about tour, every things in Viet Nam is quiet inexpensive. If you wanna enjoy fresh air, seafood, beaches and nightlife. I think Nha Trang beach, or Phu Quoc island. But, please come to Ho Chi Minh city, because Im here and I can help you.
My family and friends regularly go to Nha Trang beach resorts every year. But from experience We have learned from the past; We will never ever go to Nha Trang beach from January to April; because of jellyfish and sea urchins eggs hatching seasons from January to April every year in Nha trang beaches. I was bitten by jellyfish more than 6 times while swimming on the beach from January to April (almost paralyzed and burned the entire leg). Another year; I was accidentally step on the sea urchin twice (it was so horrible pain for day). Some members of my family and friends were having accidents with jellyfish and sea urchins similar to me also. Come to Nha Trang beach from May to December every year ok.But Stay away from the Nha trang beaches from January to April of year Thanks video
In Hanoi for a month at least (and loving it) but this video surely helps me in choosing cities on my way down to Ho Chi, where I plan to reach by April end. Cheers
+Arun Dahiya yeah man we loved Hanoi too! Thanks for your feedback, that helps me a lot! Have an amazing trip through Vietnam. Dont forget to do the canyoning in Dalat! Cheers
I am so happy that I found your YT Channel! I´m backpacking since 6 months and my next destination is Vietnam, your video was so helpful to plan the trip! Keep it up! :)
Hi Kathie, thank you so much for your comment! It makes me happy when my videos can help backpackers while travelling! Enjoy Vietnam, it will be amazing! If you meet someone who wants to go to Vietnam please share the video :) would be awesome!!!
Some great travel tips , i did a very similar tour north to south in 2015 , booking as i went, i booked a ha long bay tour 2 days 1 night stay in boat, so worth it for £100 or less (take extra water though) including some meals, activites (karaoke too they all love karaoke!). I also went on train hanoi to hue which was worth the cost for the comfort. i am not a backpacker but solo traveller and stayed in double rooms, not hostels average £20 a night.
this sounds very great! Thank you for sharing these tips with the communities! We went to Cat Ba instead of Halong Bay which was also great. Hey, by the way, we also travelled around Vietnam in 2015! So we could have met!
Hey Ryan, we loved Cambodia (amazing people, great temples and culture) and Indonesia (Sumatra for example is a pure adventure, Java/Lombok is nice for temples too)! And Malaysia is a country which is often underestimated, amazing food, great beaches and nice people! Laos is also one of the relaxed places we've been to. Hope this helps you?
Great video! I will go to Ho Chi Minh and will stay in the country for 10 days. Where would you recommend me going in 10 days? Any advice would be appreciated! I will check out your other videos! Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback :) love to read that. My highlights were Phong Nha, Hoi An, Dalat. Maybe go to phu quoc as well. This is a lot to cover for 10 days but try it ;) maybe Cat bat too to do a Halong trip :)I hope this helped you?
Hope your doing good ! I have few questions for you .. how is weather in march ? how much was your budget for 10 days trip? and any recommendation for backpacker? ;) Hope you dont mind answering :) Thanks in advance:)
I know you already said you got to Nin binh from Phong Na by bus. Which bus company was it and how did you book? We are not buying the open bus ticket so I just wanna know the bus schedule for that route.
I dont remember the company but we booked the bus in Phong Nha. There was a restaurant where you could buy tickets, rent scooters etc. It was a night bus,...
Hello.. Planning to go to Vietnam in mid august this year for around 10 days for my honeymoon (on a tight budget..) Still don't know where to go there. The country is so long, I'll have to cover close cities to minimise on travel to get more time for sightseeing.. Please advice me for the best places to visit for 10days. Thanks in advance :)
the roads of Vietnam were actually better than almost all other roads in Southeast Asia. I think maybe Malaysia was better. Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia were worse
Hey, sorry I just saw your comment. Don't know why it wasn't shown properly. So as you start in HCMC I think you can only go like half way up. Depends if you want to fly? Otherwise I would say like to Hoi An - Maximum. But than you are in the middle of the country. Where do you go after?
Felicitări Ciolos pentru această vizită istoricăp în Vietnamul erou ce a foct nimicit de aviaţia inamicî în al doilea război mondial şi iată că Vietnam s-a refăcut complet, Frtumoasă primire sperăm ca acorduirile semnate să nu rămână pe hârtie.
+Francis Valencia hey mate! We stayed for 29 days. You need that time if you want to cover north to south. We spent round about 720 USD per Person. Summarized all my expenses for Southeast Asia in the description of this video (ua-cam.com/video/NZC-MdRPGcE/v-deo.html) hope I could help you! When are you going?
This is video really informative and I definitely get a feel of what to do in each place now so thank you. I want to teach English in Vietnam and was wondering where you would recommend that has a lot to do which would be a good place to live for an extended period of time. I am planning to travel around during my time off but would also like to be live somewhere with stuff to do in the evenings and weekend.
Hey yes s we are vegetarians too and it is quite easy and possible to get veggie food. Anyways sometimes we had some problems so always prepare and have some snacks. For example once they only had pho made with animal stock. We didn’t find food and we were so hungry. When we ate it I almost threw up.... so be prepared. But most of the times it is really easy
wish we will have chance to show you our Halong Hideaway Tour once you in Nam again! Check out us from our official site: halonghideaway.com/ or from our sort tour trailer on this links: ua-cam.com/video/AM5QJiI-j8I/v-deo.html
Hey hey, danke for this amazing video :) I'm travelling to Vietnam for 2 weeks in February, arriving and leaving from HCMC. What itinerary would you recommend? I kind of got from the comments that it's better to focus on one part as the country is so huge! Also, how would you recommend booking the tours and places to stay? How do you choose a reliable tour operator? Also, did you do home stay or did you mainly stay at hostels/hotels? Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comment! You are right! Focusing on one part of the country is the best idea. Otherwise you rush through the country. Which places do you prefer? North or South? You can also do the South and then fly to the north. If I were you,...maybe do Mekong, phu quoc and then travel north to Hoi An and fly back to the south! Or take a night train. That could be a idea. Phong Nha, Dalat, Mui Nei, all great places you could visit on the way. Are you willing to fly within the country?
Thank you very much for your reply! I thought about focusing on the South and going up to the caves (Phong Nha). We thought about spending more time in Dalat and exploring waterfalls. Not sure about Mekong and Mui Nei (Mui Nei mainly because I lived in Dubai for 2 years, so no sand dunes for me :) ). I thought about taking buses/trains. Thank you again!
+MrTimbuka that Sounds like a Plan. So then skip mui ne for sure! Dalat was very nice! You should consider doing the canyoning! That was an amazing experience! Maybe also tam coc if you make it in time? The problem is that in the center the distances are quite long sometimes. The bus is fine. Train could be faster! But way more expensive!
Hey man, we travelled for 29 days :) the expense I have to check out. I made this video how to travel the world cheap. I summarized everything in there
+Tài Hùng Biện thank you a lot! Yeah I can totally understand that some people defo prefer Saigon. I just tried to be consistent so that other travellers are not confused by the name. Cheers bro
My partner and myself are doing 3 weeks in Vietnam starting in hcmc. We were going to fly between hcmc to da nang to Hanoi. Would you recommend the bus instead or is flying just as good then bus to other places from main city
If you got 3 weeks I would go for the bus as you see much more. If you don't to have soooo many stops you could do some distances by train to travel a bit faster. But I think you got enough time. Central Vietnam is also quite nice. The open bus ticket is easy. Really depends what type of traveller you are. In case you want to stay longer at some places in see less, then you should fly I guess. Does this help you somehow? cheers!
hi, love your video. Thank you so much! I found it very informative. I'm planning on backpacking to Vietnam for two weeks. from north to south. I love the advantures and scenics, how would you recommend I spread my weeks from your itenary? I love the open bus idea by the way. thanks
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's amazing to get comments like yours! Two weeks can be rough, but you can make it. So If you do it like this - maybe dont focus on the very north and the very south. Do Hanoi - Halong Bay ...then travel south by the open bus ticket. Hoi An (a must), Phong Nha, Dalat, Mui Ne,...and then HCMC. This probably a could itinerary. Anything you definitely want to see? Cheers
Hey, Great video! The webpage doesn't seem to work for me, it should contain more info like the itinerary I guess and a map, any chance it will be up soon?
Yeah, thank you so much for your comment. I had to take my webpage down because there was not a lot of response. So it won’t be up again but I summarized a lot in the description of the video
Matt, thank you so much for your feedback! Love to read it! I hope you will have a great time :) feel free to comment some feedback once your back as I am interested what you are going to experience!!!!
Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in a few months, would you be so kind to recommend a few cool spots in Hoi An? Thank you!
+lilpoludnenko thank you so much! So hoi an is not soo big. We stayed in airbnb place a lil but outside. Was ok. But the center is much nicer. So if you are in the river, ...there are many small boats going around and here you find some great restaurants you need to try! Also go to the night market. We also bought a ticket to see like I think 5 great places...it's like a tour. I hope this helps somehow do you have any other question?
Thank you so much. I try to make more videos like this to help people traveling. Great that this video actually inspired you to plan your itinerary cheers 🥂 mate
For five days I would recommend Hanoi / Halong Bay (Cat Ba)...that area. I think this is pretty much what you could do in 5 days. If you can make it (maybe fly) - Hoi an. Or Phong Nha (but I think this is impossible). Sapa is also amazing HCMC is not worth it for 5 days. Nothing is too close to that place.
Planning a trip to Vietnam in January. Staying in the south only because we’ve heard the weather can be poor north of Dalat. What time of year did you go?
+Paul PAKSTAS we travelled to Vietnam in June. Even then the weather in the very north wasn’t the best. I mean try to get some infos once you are there as weather is not really stable anymore nowerdays. Bus Tickets are not that expensive and you can always go further
Hey indent think you can see what we saw on two weeks. You can skip some of the middle part then it’s possible. For sure! Cambodia is amazing you should visit Cambodia too! I made a video about Cambodia check that out!!!
One of the best travel videos. Informative and entertaining...Thanks
thank you so much! this is so great to read!

I had an amazing time in Nha Trang, everyone told us not to go and we would have missed some of the best days of our trip if we'd listened.

Thank you so much. I made an extra video about that. It’s in the south east Asia playlist. It’s a video only about cat ba :) and the company

Việt Nam 🇻🇳
Well I like nha trang and da nang. The beaches there is amazing. On the contrary I did not enjoy hui an. I feel there is nothing there just like melaka town in Malaysia.
I want to visit Thai Nguyen on the North East.... How can I get there from Hanoi? Is there a bus line or a railway line?
Hi, we're thinking traveling to Vietnam with 3 kids ? is that OK you think ? should we book hotels in advance ?
Hi, thank you for your comment. So we didn’t book anything in advance. But we were quite flexible moving around and checking different locations. With kids you maybe want to be a bit more fix in finding your hotels. But it’s easy to travel around with kids! Yes definitely a good country for that :)
SMALL TIP ---In Vietnam, if you want to buy something in the street and Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City, u have to bargain the price with the sellers because they make the price HIGHER for the foreigners.
Perfect tip! Thank you so much. Yes we did that quite a lot. Verena was really good in bargaining at the end. She adapted to the bargain culture. I think it was even quite fun for the Vietnamese people and for us

I'm from islend and I'm half veitnam 😊😊😊😉😉
You guys are wonderful. I bet you enjoy the trip. But skipping Da Nang & Nha Trang was a pity, cause these are the 2 cities that I would come back again if I have a chance.
- Da Nang is a peaceful city with nice bridges (Dragon Bridge...) nice beach (My Khe)
and a trip to Ba Na Hills (World's longest & highest non-stop cable car) would be wonderful, with beautiful scenery, cool weather.
- Nha Trang city's beach is as just ordinary as other beaches, but take a ride to the islands and things will change, there's paradise.
Mate, first of all, thank you very much for your feedback. Maybe we shouldnt have skipped those two places, but we also didnt have that much time! One day when we go back, I will give Da Nang and Na Thrang a try.
Very helpful video! I'm heading to Vietnam for a month and will buy an open bus ticket. Can you tell me where I can get it? Thanks!
Hey in which city do you start your trip?
I'm starting in Hanoi!
That was very interesting but I was wondering how long did you stay in Vietnam?
hey, cheers for the comment :) so we stayed for 29 days exactly. I think its necessary if you want to cover everything from north to south. Do you plan to go?
Hi! I booked a ticket to vietnam for 15 days this december and planning on going to Ho Chi Minh-Hoi an-Phong Nha-Cat Ba-Hanoi-Sapa-Ho Chi Minh.

I'm always curious on what vaccinations people get when traveling to SE Asia. No one talks about this. Did you get any vaccines? If so which?
+M Me hey hey yes, you are right. So you need polio, thypus, hepatitis a+b, you should get rabbies (we didnt have it, but could be a Risk) and japanese encephalitis for some places in Laos, Cambodia etc. Does this help? I think Thats about it. And take Malaria pills with you. We didn't take them as you don't need to. Right now we are in Madagascar where you have to take them anyways. Cheers
ohh, your video is amazing! :-) (y) ...I have a question, how did you protect against mosquito and ilnesses? Did you vaccinate, use repellent with DEEt or ? thank you :-)
Hey hey! Thank you so much for your comment!! I am really happy to read that.

Do the videos help you? DEET is good! Mosquito coils are awesome, the right clothes too (check the first video). You don't really need vaccines for mosquitos (check the third video :)). Malaria pills only in certain countries (not Vietnam) ..... :)
thank you very much for your answer and advice :-), I should better check your channel :D
hahaha would be awesome :) I try to summarize all important infos :)
what about food, especially for vegetarian. pls reply
I am vegan. So vegan was a bit harder. But veggie is easy ♥️
Which is the best season and time to travel to Hanoi excluding winter? Is it true that we needs to be aware of pickpocket there? Do they have some English signage in their airport or anywhere?
Hey hey I mean between November to April it’s a bit colder but also dry. So I think it’s fine all the time. As you want get heavy rainfalls. Which is the biggest problem in South east Asia
They told us their are some pickpockets and scams. But just take care nothing will happen. We loved Hanoi!!! And didn’t have any problems.
Also we only understand English and didn’t really have a problem either with the language. I überm been to the airport but for example train station and everything was doable for us
Good to find your video. I need all information you can send me. I'll have 12 days in Vietnam and I need to learn all I can and decide where to go. Please help!
+Rossana Arcos hey would love to help you! 12 days is not a lot :) BUT to help you. What is your plan? Where do you start your trip? Do you want to explore north or south? Is there any must see for you? Would love to give you some advice :) thanks for your feedback
Hey.i plan to travel to ho chinh ming City in early January for about 2 weeks .mainly wanna see some culture ,food and beaches which are not too far away from Saigon.coudl you give me some suggestions?🤗🤗
Hey hey, if you are in HCMC I would focus in the area, Mekong Delta (Can Tho), Phu Quoc island and Mui Ne. This where you find some beaches and also culture! If you want to go a bit more central you need to fly. But the places I just mentioned should be reachable very easy in this time. Does this help you?
your video help me alot thanks bro .. could you please tell me what are the best places for honeymooners ?
+هاوي عود. Hey, Thank you a lot for your feedback bro. If you want to go on Honeymoon in Vietnam you should probably Check out the island Phu Quoc . We havent been there but people told us it's amazing. ,
+TheHowTube thank you so much :)
happy i could help you!! Enjoy Vietnam mate!! Will be awesome!
I'm going to Vietnam this July. Will spend 3 days there. I need your suggestions, what places I should visit to maximize my 3 days trip? I'm from Indonesia and will be landing and take off in/from Ho Chi Minh City
+Fernando Simandalahi oh three days? You cannot see a lot mate! Let's say either you stay one day in Ho Chi Minh city and than you do a trip to Mekong delta region stay there for a night and go back to ho chi min city...or you go to mui ne for one day and back. That are the only options. I am from Indonesia too :)
HowTube Big thanks for this really fast response, buddy. Noted! Hopefully I can use my time wisely. Haha. (No! You're NOT from Indonesia. You're so good in English! I was guessing that you're from the Philippine or somewhere from Asia but not frm Indonesia, tho. Is wishing that I can join you guys on a trip someday). Terima kasih, sekali lagi.
haha sorry for answering so late now. Was busy the last couple of days! try to use your time wisely ;) :D Haha yes, I am from Indo...I mean half right. Half Indo half German - they used to call me Gado Gado. I dont speak Indonesian though (only sedikit):( I know really bad. But Terima kasih for your feedback! Maybe I see you on the next trip to Indo. Not sure when this will be. Thank you a lot mate! Have fun in Vietnam!
Hi, if I buy an open bus ticket, how do you find affordable hotels along the way? Did you have to make reservation in advance? I
+Hai Nguyen hey hey. So in bigger towns or places where it could be quite hard to find something, we checked out some places online in advance! We didn't always book them. Sometimes we just checked out online round about where we want to stay and went there directly or ask the tuk tuk to take us there or walked there. Sometimes (not often) we booked a hotel online. Because in mui ne for example it was cheaper online. This didn't happen a lot. In really small towns we just walked to some hotels or guest houses or backpackers and asked for the price. Seriously be quite flexible with that. You won't have a lot of trouble. Always research a bit so you have a name of a place just in case you don't find anything. This was a good way to travel for us!
Thanks very much TheHowTube, I like your approach. I grew up in Vietnam but I did not know the country well enough and want to travel more when time permits. I'll watch your other youtube clips. You explained everything very well.
Hey which month did you go to sa pa ?
That was about April/June :)
Cool thx, the rice terrance looks amazing during your visit hahah
Hey Buddy cool travel tips!

Hi Trang, I am planning to spend 15 days in Vietnam, would be grateful to have your suggestions
Hitesh Tailor If you go to HCM city, im pleasure to take you go around and explore some interesting places and special food here.
Hitesh Tailor Im living Ho Chi Minh city, so if you go there, please tell me know.
Trang Le, that’s really great
Where are you based at ?
Are you dealing with operating fascinating tour ?
How much would cost me for 10 days ?
I am a solo traveler, like food, beaches and night life
Pl advice
Hitesh Tailor I dont know how about tour, every things in Viet Nam is quiet inexpensive. If you wanna enjoy fresh air, seafood, beaches and nightlife. I think Nha Trang beach, or Phu Quoc island.
But, please come to Ho Chi Minh city, because Im here and I can help you.

hi Philip, i am planning 2 weeks vacation in mid of july - Pl Whats up me on 00971 521313355
My family and friends regularly go to Nha Trang beach resorts every year. But from experience We have learned from the past; We will never ever go to Nha Trang beach from January to April; because of jellyfish and sea urchins eggs hatching seasons from January to April every year in Nha trang beaches. I was bitten by jellyfish more than 6 times while swimming on the beach from January to April (almost paralyzed and burned the entire leg).
Another year; I was accidentally step on the sea urchin twice (it was so horrible pain for day). Some members of my family and friends were having accidents with jellyfish and sea urchins similar to me also.
Come to Nha Trang beach from May to December every year ok.But Stay away from the Nha trang beaches from January to April of year
Thanks video
In Hanoi for a month at least (and loving it) but this video surely helps me in choosing cities on my way down to Ho Chi, where I plan to reach by April end.
Cheers
+Arun Dahiya yeah man we loved Hanoi too! Thanks for your feedback, that helps me a lot! Have an amazing trip through Vietnam. Dont forget to do the canyoning in Dalat! Cheers
I am so happy that I found your YT Channel! I´m backpacking since 6 months and my next destination is Vietnam, your video was so helpful to plan the trip! Keep it up! :)
Hi Kathie, thank you so much for your comment! It makes me happy when my videos can help backpackers while travelling! Enjoy Vietnam, it will be amazing! If you meet someone who wants to go to Vietnam please share the video :) would be awesome!!!
OMG. These informations are so helpful. Thanks a lot!! Subscribed
+Pham Susie Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and that you subscribed my channel!!!!
Some great travel tips , i did a very similar tour north to south in 2015 , booking as i went, i booked a ha long bay tour 2 days 1 night stay in boat, so worth it for £100 or less (take extra water though) including some meals, activites (karaoke too they all love karaoke!). I also went on train hanoi to hue which was worth the cost for the comfort. i am not a backpacker but solo traveller and stayed in double rooms, not hostels average £20 a night.
this sounds very great! Thank you for sharing these tips with the communities! We went to Cat Ba instead of Halong Bay which was also great. Hey, by the way, we also travelled around Vietnam in 2015! So we could have met!
Thank you to traveling Vietnam and sharing Vietnam to the world
I loved it a lot
Looks like you had quite the time in Vietnam, outside of Vietnam, what SE Asian countries would you recommend?
Hey Ryan, we loved Cambodia (amazing people, great temples and culture) and Indonesia (Sumatra for example is a pure adventure, Java/Lombok is nice for temples too)! And Malaysia is a country which is often underestimated, amazing food, great beaches and nice people! Laos is also one of the relaxed places we've been to. Hope this helps you?
That was very helpful, thank you! I'm so excited for my trip, gonna be documenting the whole thing! Stay tuned!
i really like this video, i am planning to go Vietnam on feb thanks for a travel tips !!
best video ever, explain all aspects that I needed to know :) thank u
+Ayman Alotaibi this is such a great feedback!!! Thank you so much! Have a great trip to Vietnam!
Amazing video :). How long time did you spend in Vietnam in total?
Thank you so much for message. We travelled around Vietnam for 29 days. Maximum we got on one visa application. Does this help you?
Open bus ticket is valid for how many days ?
our ticket was valid for a month :)
Great video! I will go to Ho Chi Minh and will stay in the country for 10 days. Where would you recommend me going in 10 days? Any advice would be appreciated! I will check out your other videos! Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback :) love to read that. My highlights were Phong Nha, Hoi An, Dalat.
Maybe go to phu quoc as well. This is a lot to cover for 10 days but try it ;) maybe Cat bat too to do a Halong trip :)I hope this helped you?
HowTube brilliant!!! I will save these names and will plan the trip in more detail. Thanks a lot!! :)
perfect :) love it
Very helpful by the way!
Thank you so much!
Hope your doing good !
I have few questions for you ..
how is weather in march ? how much was your budget for 10 days trip? and any recommendation for backpacker? ;)
Hope you dont mind answering :)
Thanks in advance:)
I know you already said you got to Nin binh from Phong Na by bus. Which bus company was it and how did you book? We are not buying the open bus ticket so I just wanna know the bus schedule for that route.
I dont remember the company but we booked the bus in Phong Nha. There was a restaurant where you could buy tickets, rent scooters etc. It was a night bus,...
Hello.. Planning to go to Vietnam in mid august this year for around 10 days for my honeymoon (on a tight budget..) Still don't know where to go there. The country is so long, I'll have to cover close cities to minimise on travel to get more time for sightseeing.. Please advice me for the best places to visit for 10days. Thanks in advance :)
What do you think about the open bus ticket? One ticket for all rides. For us it was great and the busses were good.
The Bus deal really sounds excellent, hope the roads are not bad thr...
the roads of Vietnam were actually better than almost all other roads in Southeast Asia. I think maybe Malaysia was better. Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia were worse
I believe yaa...
we are doing a 9 day trip to vietnam, 1st stop ho chi min what u think we can cover in that period?
Hey, sorry I just saw your comment. Don't know why it wasn't shown properly. So as you start in HCMC I think you can only go like half way up. Depends if you want to fly? Otherwise I would say like to Hoi An - Maximum. But than you are in the middle of the country. Where do you go after?
Felicitări Ciolos pentru această vizită istoricăp în Vietnamul erou ce a foct nimicit de aviaţia inamicî în al doilea război mondial şi iată că Vietnam s-a refăcut complet, Frtumoasă primire sperăm ca acorduirile semnate să nu rămână pe hârtie.
how long did your whole trip last? how much in total did you spend? (USD)
+Francis Valencia hey mate! We stayed for 29 days. You need that time if you want to cover north to south. We spent round about 720 USD per Person. Summarized all my expenses for Southeast Asia in the description of this video (ua-cam.com/video/NZC-MdRPGcE/v-deo.html) hope I could help you! When are you going?
This is video really informative and I definitely get a feel of what to do in each place now so thank you. I want to teach English in Vietnam and was wondering where you would recommend that has a lot to do which would be a good place to live for an extended period of time. I am planning to travel around during my time off but would also like to be live somewhere with stuff to do in the evenings and weekend.
Is it a good country for vegetarians I mean can we easily get veg food on the streets please do reply
Hey yes s we are vegetarians too and it is quite easy and possible to get veggie food. Anyways sometimes we had some problems so always prepare and have some snacks. For example once they only had pho made with animal stock. We didn’t find food and we were so hungry. When we ate it I almost threw up.... so be prepared. But most of the times it is really easy
Tysm brother
wish we will have chance to show you our Halong Hideaway Tour once you in Nam again! Check out us from our official site: halonghideaway.com/ or from our sort tour trailer on this links: ua-cam.com/video/AM5QJiI-j8I/v-deo.html
Hey hey,
danke for this amazing video :)
I'm travelling to Vietnam for 2 weeks in February, arriving and leaving from HCMC.
What itinerary would you recommend? I kind of got from the comments that it's better to focus on one part as the country is so huge!
Also, how would you recommend booking the tours and places to stay? How do you choose a reliable tour operator? Also, did you do home stay or did you mainly stay at hostels/hotels?
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comment! You are right! Focusing on one part of the country is the best idea. Otherwise you rush through the country. Which places do you prefer? North or South? You can also do the South and then fly to the north. If I were you,...maybe do Mekong, phu quoc and then travel north to Hoi An and fly back to the south! Or take a night train. That could be a idea. Phong Nha, Dalat, Mui Nei, all great places you could visit on the way. Are you willing to fly within the country?
Thank you very much for your reply!
I thought about focusing on the South and going up to the caves (Phong Nha). We thought about spending more time in Dalat and exploring waterfalls. Not sure about Mekong and Mui Nei (Mui Nei mainly because I lived in Dubai for 2 years, so no sand dunes for me :) ).
I thought about taking buses/trains.
Thank you again!
+MrTimbuka that Sounds like a Plan. So then skip mui ne for sure! Dalat was very nice! You should consider doing the canyoning! That was an amazing experience! Maybe also tam coc if you make it in time? The problem is that in the center the distances are quite long sometimes. The bus is fine. Train could be faster! But way more expensive!
truly great video, very helpful thank you! i am going to Vietnam for 6 week in september
thank you so much! 6 weeks, thats perfect! you will see a lot!
Yes you helped a lot..Liked video👍
Thanks
Thank you so much!!! Comments like this help me a lot 🤙🏽
Is the open bus ticket only for one day?
No it is for a couple weeks depends how much you pay :)
Golden information. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Great and informative video. Thanks for sharing. It will me plan my trip to Vietnam.
Thank you so much :) love to read that! I hope you will have a great trip :) and that my video helps you good
Bro for how many days you were in Vietnam and what was the total expense?
Hey man, we travelled for 29 days :) the expense I have to check out. I made this video how to travel the world cheap. I summarized everything in there
@@how_to_travel_the_world ok.thanks for the reply.
the only way to travel to vietnam is with a helicopter while playing fortunate son!
how can you skip Nha Trang and Da Nang cuz those are the 2 hottiest tourist location in VN.what a big lost!
Việt nam vẫn còn rất nhiều chổ đẹp.chào mừng bạn đến với việt nam
Nice trip, but most Vietnamese people prefer calling Saigon instead of Ho Chi Minh Mummy.
+Tài Hùng Biện thank you a lot! Yeah I can totally understand that some people defo prefer Saigon. I just tried to be consistent so that other travellers are not confused by the name. Cheers bro
Awesome....Nice to watch....!!!!
My partner and myself are doing 3 weeks in Vietnam starting in hcmc. We were going to fly between hcmc to da nang to Hanoi. Would you recommend the bus instead or is flying just as good then bus to other places from main city
If you got 3 weeks I would go for the bus as you see much more. If you don't to have soooo many stops you could do some distances by train to travel a bit faster. But I think you got enough time. Central Vietnam is also quite nice. The open bus ticket is easy. Really depends what type of traveller you are. In case you want to stay longer at some places in see less, then you should fly I guess. Does this help you somehow? cheers!
hi, love your video. Thank you so much! I found it very informative. I'm planning on backpacking to Vietnam for two weeks. from north to south. I love the advantures and scenics, how would you recommend I spread my weeks from your itenary? I love the open bus idea by the way. thanks
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's amazing to get comments like yours! Two weeks can be rough, but you can make it. So If you do it like this - maybe dont focus on the very north and the very south. Do Hanoi - Halong Bay ...then travel south by the open bus ticket. Hoi An (a must), Phong Nha, Dalat, Mui Ne,...and then HCMC. This probably a could itinerary. Anything you definitely want to see? Cheers
Thank you for the input!
Thanks, great video.
Thank you
Amazing Video! Thankyou, and also thanks for the useful comment responses below. Best Vietnam video online
Great to get feedback like that! Seriously makes my day :) I hope you will have a great time traveling Vietnam. If you have any question, let me know!
Are there toilets on the travel busses?
No they are not. But they stop. I am a person who goes to toilet too often. Weak bladder....and I survived. ;)
Where did you go for Halong Bay?
mainly Cat Ba island
@@how_to_travel_the_world Thank's
Hey, cool vid, how many days did the vietnam trip take you? Thanks!
Hey, thank you so much! We traveled around Vietnam for 29 days in total! In this time frame you can see as much as we saw :)
I love your shots. It's so captivating.
Thank you so much! Just checked out your videos! They are amazing!
Hey,
Great video!
The webpage doesn't seem to work for me, it should contain more info like the itinerary I guess and a map, any chance it will be up soon?
Yeah, thank you so much for your comment. I had to take my webpage down because there was not a lot of response. So it won’t be up again but I summarized a lot in the description of the video
very informative video. I’m glad you like my country. I’m Vietnamese.
Thank you so much!! Really love your country ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent and very informative, you have helped with my planning as I was going to travel just by train.
Matt, thank you so much for your feedback! Love to read it! I hope you will have a great time :) feel free to comment some feedback once your back as I am interested what you are going to experience!!!!
Hi,
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.
I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in a few months, would you be so kind to recommend a few cool spots in Hoi An? Thank you!
+lilpoludnenko thank you so much! So hoi an is not soo big. We stayed in airbnb place a lil but outside. Was ok. But the center is much nicer. So if you are in the river, ...there are many small boats going around and here you find some great restaurants you need to try! Also go to the night market. We also bought a ticket to see like I think 5 great places...it's like a tour. I hope this helps somehow do you have any other question?
Oh man keep posting more videos like this ...it is just so helpfull!!! Love it, thanks :*
+Marie Bogarová thank you so much! Reading a comment like this is so motivating!!! I hope you will have a great trip!
Great Video. Your video is basically my new itinerary. Keep up the good work my friend. Cheers
Thank you so much. I try to make more videos like this to help people traveling. Great that this video actually inspired you to plan your itinerary cheers 🥂 mate
which time was your trip?
About April I think
am planning a 5 days trip to vietnam & 5 days to the phillipines can you suggest the places to visit in these countries
For five days I would recommend Hanoi / Halong Bay (Cat Ba)...that area. I think this is pretty much what you could do in 5 days. If you can make it (maybe fly) - Hoi an. Or Phong Nha (but I think this is impossible). Sapa is also amazing
HCMC is not worth it for 5 days. Nothing is too close to that place.
Hi, Do you think it is safe to bring a DSLR to Vietnam? Like have it around my neck walking around etc. ? Thanks
+thesean 5 yes Vietnam is really safe. Maybe take extra care in the bigger cities at night. Almost every city was really safe
awesome and helpful :)
Thank you so much 🤗
Planning a trip to Vietnam in January. Staying in the south only because we’ve heard the weather can be poor north of Dalat. What time of year did you go?
+Paul PAKSTAS we travelled to Vietnam in June. Even then the weather in the very north wasn’t the best. I mean try to get some infos once you are there as weather is not really stable anymore nowerdays. Bus Tickets are not that expensive and you can always go further
I am and Indian citizen so can I travel Vietnam on a budget of 30000inr for 2 weeks ??? Please do reply brother
Are u including the flight tickets also in 30k?
Thank you very much for this useful video! Thumbs up
thank you so much!!! :)
welcome to Vietnam... You had a good trip !!!
loved Vietnam a lot!!!
Fantastic vídeo great information, i have been in malasya about a week, its safe to travel in Vietname Just a couple? Thanks,
Hey thank you so much!!! Yes Vietnam was great! And it is really safe! You will enjoy this place. How was Malaysia? We loved it!
do you think i can do this in 1 week?? or 2 weeks better?? i wanna go to cambodia but maybe 2 weeks in vietnam is enough and no time to go to Cambodia
Hey indent think you can see what we saw on two weeks. You can skip some of the middle part then it’s possible. For sure! Cambodia is amazing you should visit Cambodia too! I made a video about Cambodia check that out!!!
