I've mentioned this in other videos about beach cities of VN and it's a pretty good thing in my mind. Vietnamese come out early, around 6 - 7:30am to exercise on the beach or swim in the ocean. Then they go home, have breakfast and off to work and school. They stay out of the hot intense sun during the daytime, leaving it empty for us foreigners (who will soon find out how hot the sun is). Around 4:30pm after a long hot day of working and schooling, the locals go back out to the beach to exercise and swim. The few food vendors sell their food. I personally love that communal access to the beach where rich and poor locals can enjoy their god given benefit. I've visited a fair number of countries with glorious beaches but many of those have become the exclusive enclaves of high end resorts and their snooty foreign guests who balks at seeing normal locals in "their" beach. That may not be the case in Australia and I'm hoping that's true. It's just a healthy and balanced/equitable way of life. As an aside guys, I think it's a great idea you rented an automatic scooter and not that image-based beat up mountain motorcycle that is hard to drive in heavy traffic, not to mention quick to break down. Having said that, if you're riding 2, the automatic scooters will struggle in mountainous roads. Take care and thanks for the video.
I’m a resident of Nhatrang. I would like to adjust a very small of your information: “Vietnamese come out the beach very soon, around 6:30-7:00”. In fact, Vietnamese come out to the beach from 4:00 AM to swim, do excersie, jog…
Following your vids a week now, half Vietnamese/ Filipino here, been to nha Trang a few times already, missing vietnam so much!! Goodluck guys on your journey!!
Nha Trang city is so big, alive, modern & clean!! It is my favourite beach city in vietnam!! It is very much similar to Gold Coast in Australia but everything is much more cheaper!!
You are dumb, Goldcoast doesnt have mountain range and island . It all artificial beauty with luxury 5 star hotel and modern apartment, a well design city with tree line. An ugly Sheila put on a beatipful make up, wear fashion clothes, Iphone 13, and design hand bag to fool all the man. Vietnamese like you eating rubbish doesnt know anything. Any foreigners want to talk rubbish about Vietnam , we blow them away.
A lot of places in SE Asia come to life at night because it is so hot in the daytime. Also in places that are very affordable I always look at the price difference of rooms that include breakfast vs ones that don't bc if I am staying very central to many places with food it's usually cheaper and better quality if I don't eat at the hotel.
I am so happy and grateful to have you on my UA-cam. I LOVE u2 and LOVE the music as well. Even I have mentioned before I fill so wonderful the way you both have LOVE and wonderful prosperity witch I finally know hoe to get my UA-cam . I did not toe how because I am going to be a young 69, 21 June birthday. I am gong to were I was born""La Redemption village in Gaspe, Quebec" I will start my new video when I see my birth place.............I can't way to start. Thank Yo so much for helping me.........
I wanna go to Vietnam so bad. My dad fought in the war and it would be like everything coming full circle for me to touch down there. Going to Singapore and Malaysia in December, hopefully Taiwan and Vietnam soon
My adviced for you dont come to Viet Nam. The people are very intelligent , they crack your mind open and you feel ashame of yourself . Viet Nam open up to the world for 3 decades, hundred of million of people travelled to the country for holiday. Your father serve in Vietnam but he never take the family there . That mean he doesnt have any love for the country or the people. The only reason you want to go to Vietnam because you cant find true love in your life. Vietnamese people very agressive amd rude, they only care if you have the money to pay for it or not. They dont need you to say hello and thank you.
Hi Lloyd Mandy, I just recently started watching your shows. I truly love it!!!! Lloyd, you are very fortunate to have a beautiful wife with you side by side all the time. She always has a big smile and a great personality internal and external. You guys can tackle anything while throwing at you. That's so awesome! I would hope your shows will fly further furthermore, more viewers, and more subscribers. Keep smiles!!!! All the best!!! God bless!
People tend to be so judgmental when they first arrived and set their foot on the ground/ new travel destination without having yet to experience a thing or giving the place a chance to show you around its attractions, fun and excitement. IMO, if a person is so quickly judgmental about places they should just better off quit travelling to foreign countries. An individual with an open heart to different cultures/food/sceneries/lifestyles/locals and mostly respect for the destination they travel to, will always be the one who has the greatest time and experience. I travel a lot and dislike people who moan, groan, judgmental about the tourism places they visit.
Love you guys and love your down to earth honest personalities and that you don't pretend to know everything. Video logging your travel experiences and learning as you go along and sharing it with us in real time is just so refreshing. Fantastic! Keep it up and wish you all the best in your future as digital nomads.
@@jamesanhdungwest The word Kim could mean Metal or Gold ( in Sino-Vietnamese / tiêng Han Viêt ) and Needle ( in plain Vietnamese/tiêng Nom) . According to the plain Vietnamese grammar (Van Pham tiêng Nom) , the adjective ( tinh tu ) or the attribute adjective is always placed after the noun , but it`s the opposite in Sino-Vietnamese . Chuon-Chuon KIm is used here as a plain Vietnamese group of words , because Chuon-Chuon is a plain Vietnamese noun and the attribute adjective Kim is placed after the noun . So definitely it has the plain Vietnamese meaning : Needle . If you want to translate the name of that restaurant as Golden Dragonfly in English , it should be written Chuon Chuon Vang on the sign . Definitely Chuon-Chuon Kim can never be translated in English as Golden Dragonfly but Needle Dragonfly . Golden Dragonfly in Sino-Vietnamese is Kim Long Diêp ( but not many Vietnamese people know or use that word ) . FYI Chuon Chuon Kim is a rare specie of dragonfly which you can find only in some regions of VN . They are tiny and skinny like a needle , so the locals call them Chuon Chuon KIm .
@@hungcuongnguyen293 what is giun is that Korean? Kim Long is golden dragon- it is possible that Kim is being used in Chuon chuon kim as little as you mentioned because Kim is at the end of the noun chuon chuon. You are correct in that perspective!
I too clicked on a link to you guys. This is the 3rd video so far, just wanted to stop and say, you've got a great touch/mix of content. The information is just what I need in travel vids, and the drone music combo is sweet. Very enjoyable watching you guys. Thankyou.
My Vietnamese wife and I stayed in Nha Trang for 6 months, about 12 years ago and lived 2 streets back from the Lotus statue on beach road. We were thinking of buying a house there but the speed of development put us off. But it was a great place to chill, go for scooter rides to the hot spring baths, or up in the Hills we found Doctor Pasteur's wooden half way rest stop cabin on one trip. Beaches north and south were great day trips and maybe a beer or three at the brew pub on the way home. The brew pub had a pool so you could get both sides wet. Kids sleep in the afternoon when it hot, and I'm a big kid so I'm laying on the bed now. Then the whole family jump on the scooter and take a ride along beach road, maybe stop for an ice cream, drink etc., the ride home puts baby to sleep. I live have way between Saigon and Vung Tou, grow lots of fruit and along with 8 or so locals we have a pot luck supper. Each will bring a dish and dipping sauce for that dish, now these can be pretty wild and take about 4 beers to cool the mouth. Luckily we each person brings a slab of his choice of beer. My choice is Saigon lager the same as you were drinking on the beach. I had to teach them UK drinking habits, no ice in the beer, no cheers for every sip, no bottoms up with anybody who does put ice in as there's only a thimble full of beer in there. Thanks for posting and I hope you enjoy your time in Vietnam.
Just looked at prices at the Libra Hotel for August, cheapest room is AUS $44 a night so your $30 a night sure is Covid prices. Still so cheap though compared to anything in Australia. I think we will go to.the Panorama Hotel though, similar prices but have balconies with their ocean view rooms. We are planning on a full week in Nha Trang. We can't wait.
thank heavens !! finally found a decent video and great explanations. You guys rock. plus I am an Aussie too living in Thailand. Am definitely coming here for a holiday next month cheers guys.
I have a history with Nha Trang. I like to suggest that active and crowded at night is one way to do it. I personally prefer less of a crowd so during the day there is a chaise lounge available or not much of a wait at a restaurant. I like your coverage of the city. Good travels.
Let me recommend the Pho at 107 Hồng Bàng, the place is called Pho Bach Dang. Visited that Bao Ngon restaurant and mentioned your video sent me there. Great food, great service.
This is gonna sound kinda obvious, but Vietnam has a really low unemployment rate - so during the day most people are at work, uni or school. Also, it's so hot during the day, as you mentioned, most people avoid it. As someone who has called Vietnam home for a long time - I'm loving these videos.
Being following you guys since I found some of your bali vlogs! Love the content and editing. Also love seeing all the different food aswell. Every time I open up this UA-cam app, I see if you’ve posted a new video. Living your best life ✨
Nah Trang looks pretty cool! It reminded me of a Vietnamese gold coast a lite bit! I've been to Vietnam but not to nha Trang so will add it to the list ✅
You guys should visit Tuy Hoa, it is my home town and further 100km up north from Nha Trang. It is peaceful town with crazy ass honest people over there. Nha Trang is still too expensive to enjoy your journey 😉
Agree completely, Tuy Hoa today is what Nha Trang used to be in the past. Nha trang is ruined by mass touris, mega structures and too noisy busy motor high way at beach front. Nut be aware if the corrupted money comes Tuy Hoa will be the same. They are now, in small scale, are starting the same ruining concept with building an awful wide high way at beach front.
When I was in Vietnam, the beach in Hoi An was the only slightly busy beach during the day I found, only because there were more foreigners around. You won’t see any Vietnamese sunbathing. I am living in Thailand and my Thai girlfriend keeps out of the sun whenever possible, most Asian women want to keep there skin as white as possible!
@pancakestac nearly every cream in SE Asia and Indonesia contain whitening cream, it's pretty obvious why they stay out of the sun. This happens in India too for various reasons, usually due to where they sit on the socio economic scale. Meanwhile Australians sunbathe in the heat of the day to turn brown and we have the highest rates of skin cancer. Be happy with the skin colour you were born with.
Really grooving to the soundtracks on your videos guys! Shazamming all the tunes… Enjoying your tour of Vietnam, hoping to head over there in a few months, keep the content coming :)
Vietnamese restaurant names are usually puns. Cuz Vietnam was under Chinese rule for like 10 centuries so the Vietnamese language has a lot of Chinese elements. And people usually use Sino-Vietnamese for poetry purposes. The one you get lunch is called 'Chuồn Chuồn Kim' and it has at least 2 meanings. First, the literal one: Chuồn Chuồn Kim = Damselfly. And the other one is can get a direct translation to Golden Dragonfly. Kim = 金 = Gold, Chuồn Chuồn = Dragonfly, by the way, they decorate the restaurant, especially the sign, I think it fits the theme. The bao place you guys go to later also has at least 2 meanings. Bao Ngon = Delicious Bao. That phrase is also slang to declare something delicious. 'Bao' = "covering the expense or guaranteeing something". Bao Ngon = Delicious Guaranteed. But this punch is only appropriate to Southern Vietnamese, Northern accent speakers won't really get the pun and also the slang if they don't talk to a Southern Vietnamese much. They will understand 'Bao' as slang for 'I will cover the expense' and that's the only meaning here. A small Vietnamese language and culture for you guys.
Hey Guys, I really enjoyed this video because it brought back the good memories from traveling there and other places in Vietnam in 2004 to 2007. Thank you for being careful to name the restaurants and places you stayed for future travel possibilities. I liked the drone footage of the beach and the music that accompanied it. You have found a "sweet spot" in your editing to not jump from scene to scene too fast. Moving quickly between images seems to be a standard now, but I find it distracting when trying to explore a place from video. You inspired me to want to travel again and I used your one-month free subscription to Skillshare. Thank you and I wish you the best in your adventures!
Im living in Nha Trang, welcome to cơm here. This city very nice with pupils is very kind, food so delicious. Chuon Chuon Kim restaurant with many food Vietnam. I want see you with my family and with dinner in here. Tks u so much.
Yep UV index is absurdly high in VN at mid day so pretty much everyone try their best to dodge the sunlight, even sunscreen doesn't help much at blocking that crazy amount of UV.
Another great video. Informative. Good to keep & reference 👌 NEVER ever think we are sick of seeing DOG 🐕 LOVE Lloyd !!!💗 Love to know name of the crunchy pork belly place. I can’t understand when UA-camrs grapple with name of a restaurant/ hotel/ cafe that they are frothing over …… just “film” the outside SIGN 🤦🏻♀️ It’s a no brainer You guys aren’t the only ones that do it 🤷🏻♀️ Side Life Trip ……he seems to be one of the only vloggers that does it. He always films the out side sign. And never has his face in camera , ever.👏Point of difference I suppose. Nha Trang looks fantastic 👍
Thank you for this great video. I am planning on going to Nha Trang next July/August with my family. Is the hotel you guys stayed at right on the beach? Sorry, if you mentioned it. Thank you.
What about showing the traditional vietnam iced coffee 👌 also seek out the waterfall and mudbath park in nah trang dont waste your time at vin pearl though
Hey great video mate, I use to live in Nah Trang 2000, 2001, I was working on the tour boats out too the island, Mama Linh tours. Great 1 year and 9 months of my life, I,d spend 10 weeks there and 4 or 5 weeks in Patong Beach with my girlfriend on and off. Yeh mate I always had the helmet problem. I always use to think what it would be like when I was out off the coast on a boat, yes I,d always think about in 10 or 20 years how much it has changed. It looks like the gold coast now crazy. I,ve been back to Thailand a lot but haven't been able to get back to Vietnam. Maybe next year. The Vietnamese people don,t like the sun so that's why you see them very early morning or late afternoon on the beach. It's just their way. If you get the chance try the BBQ Venison I can,t remember the name of the street but it's about 500 metre,s off the beach nearly directly behind the town hall. Just ask someone I,m sure they will tell you where it is. It's a must mate probably near the best meat I,ve ever tasted. Vietnam is very vibrant especially Nah Trang City. Also there is a very beautiful area about 20 km North of the city with a great waterfall and big Rock to jump from incredible experience and very cool water so refreshing. Anyway goodluck mate on your journey and maybe I,ll subscribe to your channel soon. Just keep giving me a reason to watch. Don,t be too bland like some other couples who just get boring afterwards and then we look for better videos. Cheers 🍻 mate.
@Lloyd & Mandy yeah at times now I,m just working in Australia, as I,m late 50,s. Although I still try to stay active and travel when possible especially. Around S.E.Asia probably because I have some great friends there. And I don,t like flying much further the 8 or 9 hours. 🍻
Nha Trang was always the main destination for Russians in Vietnam, with plenty of direct flights. Going round the more touristy bar/cafe areas, you'll normally see signs in Russian before English. I'd imagine there are far fewer now than there used to be, which would explain it being so quiet.
Soooo refreshing to see two good looking Westerners enjoying crispy pork bellies! None of this macrobiotic stuff i keep seeing in the cosmopolitan US. You guys ROCK!
Ok, I have a question - if you ran across a really bad hotel, restaurant, food, service, etc - would you included in your video? Many travel bloggers don't because they are afraid of repercussion, which I understand. But would you?
I've mentioned this in other videos about beach cities of VN and it's a pretty good thing in my mind. Vietnamese come out early, around 6 - 7:30am to exercise on the beach or swim in the ocean.

That may not be the case in Australia and I'm hoping that's true. It's just a healthy and balanced/equitable way of life. As an aside guys, I think it's a great idea you rented an automatic scooter and not that image-based beat up mountain motorcycle that is hard to drive in heavy traffic, not to mention quick to break down.

The food in Vietnam is so amazing and Nha Trang is such a nice city. So much to do and the beach is awesome, yet much less hectic than Saigon

big? i dont think so lol
I´m sorry, the truth. The beach front is ruined by ugly mega structures and a very noisy busy wide motor highway.

Hi Guys ! Discovering local people life, enjoying Vietnamese foods and beautiful views in Nha Trang, Viet Nam
There are a number of places that are popular with foreign tourists such as Nha Trang, mostly Russian tourists, and Da Nang mostly Korean tourists.
The beaches in Vietnam are packed at 6am!! During the daytime it’s just too hot.
One morning when I woke up, before my eyes was a beautiful beach scene. It is a large space. Clear blue sky background
I wanna go to Vietnam so bad. My dad fought in the war and it would be like everything coming full circle for me to touch down there. Going to Singapore and Malaysia in December, hopefully Taiwan and Vietnam soon
My adviced for you dont come to Viet Nam. The people are very intelligent , they crack your mind open and you feel ashame of yourself .

I am going to Da Nang Vietnam in January. I can't wait! Have fun during your vacation!

Get the cable car to the offshore island. Its like a Disneyland over there. So much fun.
Great stuff guys. Really enjoy your travels.

But this punch is only appropriate to Southern Vietnamese, Northern accent speakers won't really get the pun and also the slang if they don't talk to a Southern Vietnamese much. They will understand 'Bao' as slang for 'I will cover the expense' and that's the only meaning here.
A small Vietnamese language and culture for you guys.
Sai rồi nhé. Chuồn chuồn kim là tên 1 loài côn trùng nhỏ hay xuất hiện ở viện nam chỉ đơn giản là thế ko có nghĩa gì là hán việt ở đây cả
great video, Thanks for sharing...
Yes, in Vietnam, China, etc you will see more umbrellas on a sunny day than on rainy day. 😄😄
Hey Guys,
I really enjoyed this video because it brought back the good memories from traveling there and other places in Vietnam in 2004 to 2007.
Thank you for being careful to name the restaurants and places you stayed for future travel possibilities. I liked the drone footage of the beach and the music that accompanied it. You have found a "sweet spot" in your editing to not jump from scene to scene too fast. Moving quickly between images seems to be a standard now, but I find it distracting when trying to explore a place from video.
You inspired me to want to travel again and I used your one-month free subscription to Skillshare. Thank you and I wish you the best in your adventures!
Been following all your videos. Very enjoyable and informative.
Im living in Nha Trang, welcome to cơm here. This city very nice with pupils is very kind, food so delicious. Chuon Chuon Kim restaurant with many food Vietnam. I want see you with my family and with dinner in here. Tks u so much.
Yep UV index is absurdly high in VN at mid day so pretty much everyone try their best to dodge the sunlight, even sunscreen doesn't help much at blocking that crazy amount of UV.
Another great video.
Informative.
Good to keep & reference 👌
NEVER ever think we are sick of seeing DOG 🐕 LOVE Lloyd !!!💗
Love to know name of the crunchy pork belly place.
I can’t understand when UA-camrs grapple with name of a restaurant/ hotel/ cafe that they are frothing over …… just “film” the outside SIGN 🤦🏻♀️
It’s a no brainer
You guys aren’t the only ones that do it 🤷🏻♀️
Side Life Trip ……he seems to be one of the only vloggers that does it.
He always films the out side sign.
And never has his face in camera , ever.👏Point of difference I suppose.
Nha Trang looks fantastic 👍
Enjoy your videos, hope I can go back to visit Nha Trang one of these days.
Chúc hai bạn vui vẻ khi đến Việt Nam.nha trang khí hậu và biển thật tuyệt vời!
video good, city very nice. Welcom in nha trang
Had boiled eggs for lunch today and they will never be the same after the vlog on the eggs in Vietnam 🐣 🥴🫢
Your videos are an inspiration to us. Keep making these videos!
Hello Mandy and Lloyd,
The meaning of Chuon Chuon Kim is Golden Dragonfly....
Thanks for letting us know :)
Love your music choices
I hope you get a chance to go up to Hoi An, Hue, Sapa and Halong Bay.
Stay tuned ;)

Thank you for this great video. I am planning on going to Nha Trang next July/August with my family. Is the hotel you guys stayed at right on the beach? Sorry, if you mentioned it. Thank you.
We will come to NT on 2/7 . It’s pity we can’t be tour guide for you . We live in Sydney. Have a great holiday in Vietnam 😉

you make really cool videos!

Hey great video mate, I use to live in Nah Trang 2000, 2001, I was working on the tour boats out too the island, Mama Linh tours. Great 1 year and 9 months of my life, I,d spend 10 weeks there and 4 or 5 weeks in Patong Beach with my girlfriend on and off. Yeh mate I always had the helmet problem. I always use to think what it would be like when I was out off the coast on a boat, yes I,d always think about in 10 or 20 years how much it has changed. It looks like the gold coast now crazy. I,ve been back to Thailand a lot but haven't been able to get back to Vietnam. Maybe next year. The Vietnamese people don,t like the sun so that's why you see them very early morning or late afternoon on the beach. It's just their way. If you get the chance try the BBQ Venison I can,t remember the name of the street but it's about 500 metre,s off the beach nearly directly behind the town hall. Just ask someone I,m sure they will tell you where it is.
It's a must mate probably near the best meat I,ve ever tasted. Vietnam is very vibrant especially Nah Trang City. Also there is a very beautiful area about 20 km North of the city with a great waterfall and big Rock to jump from incredible experience and very cool water so refreshing. Anyway goodluck mate on your journey and maybe I,ll subscribe to your channel soon. Just keep giving me a reason to watch. Don,t be too bland like some other couples who just get boring afterwards and then we look for better videos. Cheers 🍻 mate.
Thanks mate, sounds like you've lived an adventurous life!
@Lloyd & Mandy yeah at times now I,m just working in Australia, as I,m late 50,s. Although I still try to stay active and travel when possible especially. Around S.E.Asia probably because I have some great friends there. And I don,t like flying much further the 8 or 9 hours. 🍻
Thật tuyệt vời 😍. Nha Trang luôn chào đón các bạn 🍻👍😄😍
Tôi yêu đất nước tôi
😂 stickers being cleaning products 😂
Thanks for come my city
Love you guys videos 👍❤️
Thành phố rất đẹp
Thank You 🙂
Nha Trang was always the main destination for Russians in Vietnam, with plenty of direct flights. Going round the more touristy bar/cafe areas, you'll normally see signs in Russian before English. I'd imagine there are far fewer now than there used to be, which would explain it being so quiet.
Da Nang too!
Have been there last September
Soooo refreshing to see two good looking Westerners enjoying crispy pork bellies! None of this macrobiotic stuff i keep seeing in the cosmopolitan US. You guys ROCK!
"Chuồn Chuồn Kim" in Vietnamese meaning "Tiny dragonfly"_FYI
Ok, I have a question - if you ran across a really bad hotel, restaurant, food, service, etc - would you included in your video? Many travel bloggers don't because they are afraid of repercussion, which I understand. But would you?
Yep! We have in the past. We are as honest and transparent as possible.
Da Nang next ? 😎🏝
hi everyone , what music is it at 7.25 please ? thanx
What's the song?
