I would say this video focus more on medium to high end travelers. $250 dollars for one hotel is crazy. I’ve just returned and 16 nights across the country cost me a total of £310. For 3/4* hotels. Nearly the same as one night in the hotel these guys stayed. Hospitality is essential in the Vietnamese culture, you don’t need to be excessive with hotels.
Did you book beforehand or once you got there?
This was the most informative and well-organized travel video I've ever experienced! Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
This was EXACTLY the video I was looking for. About to visit family in Da Nang in June and had no idea where to even begin. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!😁😁🙌🏻
Wow I am impressed with the level of useful info in your travel video. I am an oversea Vietnamese living in the US for more than 35 years and while I travel to Vietnam for Tết every year I still find your travel tips very useful for even a Vietnamese like myself. Great video thank you!
I have been to Vietnam in 2017，but a week was not enough to explore this country. So，I am planning to visit Vietnam again，and thanks for your video to provide huge information，you guys are amazing.
Your videos are very good guys, you have a new follower. Greetings from Argentina. I will be visiting Vietnam again in January 2025. I love this country. Hug
It was so nice finding your video - I am from SA and planning a trip to Vietnam soon and so your video was so incredibly useful and concise. Loved all the tips and mostly the Rand value you included. Super excited now!
Welcome back! ❤
Your fans, your viewers, your supporters and everyone (who have missed you, appreciated you, your candor, and etc.) are glad to see you back.
Please do not over-exert yourselves.
Your life and overall health (mental and physical) are never worth wearing yourselves out.
You two do not want future burn-out.
Good effort, such a resource for travellers. Glad you are both up and about, stay safe.
Vietnam is officially on my bucket list thanks to this comprehensive travel guide! 🌟🛫 The thought of navigating through the bustling streets, trying out the local cuisine, and immersing in the culture is thrilling. I'm particularly curious about the best spots for authentic Vietnamese coffee. Fellow travelers, could you share your favorite finds?
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Heading to Vietnam in a few weeks and can't wait especially now we've watched this. 😊
I Spent 1 year in Vietnam and it was great
It's such a lovely and detailed video. I've been to Vietnam, however, I love watching your videos. Safe travels back to SA. ❤
Thanks very much for your video. My wife and I are planning to visit Vietnam this year and your video was awesome. We plan to book through Vietnam Escape Tours
Great video! Appreciate all your tips. Will be going in March!
this country is amazing and im only half way through my travels
just a helpfull notice
when out side of the airport and in the city , i recommend if your using banks to use a green bulding called VP bank they also don't charge any commission for withdrawls
hope you all enjoy your trip guys ❤
awesome ... thank you guys for sharing!
Well done 👍🏼 very thorough and honest video. I was in Vietnam back in 2008 for one month and traveled all over north to south also visiting Phou Quoc island before it had the international airport and wow it was amazing back then hardly any hotels. It looks like much has changed. My husband and I are traveling for 3 months in Vietnam this coming March and I’m excited to show him one of my favorite countries. This video helped him understand and know what to expect. Thank you!!❤
We appreciate this comment so much. So glad the video helped. Your husband is going to love it 🥰
I've just found your channel guys and honestly your guide is amazing! Thank you so much
noooo i spent a month in Vietnam and Da Lat was one of my top 3 places... so sad you didn't love it. although i guess i had a different experience than most as we took a motorbike and scootered around the countryside of Da Lat which is really beautiful with green fields, and flowers and waterfalls and mountains and scenic view points and temples. The crazy house in the town was so cool, fulfilled my fantasy dream....there's tea plantations nearby too and lots of themed pretty places...there's even an alpine coaster which was super fun and a cable car above large pine forests....there's this sculpture park place....i could of spent a whole week there nooo aw sad to hear. But this video was awesome, lots of great tips and tricks.
Awesome informative vid thanks guys 😁
I have watched your videos many times, very useful
Hey you guys awesome video. From a new fellow south african and new subscriber. I'm totally putting Vietnam on my travel list💯💯
thanks guys, solid intel, cheers!
Professional video packed with useful tips. thank you.
Very informative! Thank you!

Fantastic Vietnam People

Thanks guys!
Finally thanks 🎉
So much adoration from a fellow South African ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, planning a trip. Vietnamese people are one of the most beautiful people ❤
very detailed and informative video. thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I spent a month in Vietnam in 2011 and really loved it. I'm shocked to see how Phu Quoc is now as it was really underdeveloped when I went and was a really authentic experience. Everyone please heed their warnings about the motorbike bandits. I had my camera snatched out of my hands outside the Ben Thanh market in Saigon. Luckily I had downloaded all my pics a short time before it happened, so while I didn't lose everything, it did put a real damper on the end of my trip. That said, I never felt unsafe and the people were lovely. Just watch out for some petty theft, but that exists everywhere in the world.
Sorry to hear that. when you come back Viet Nam, I'm sure we'll treat you better.
Wonderfull Vietnam
If elected tourism ambassador of Vietnam, I will give you 1 vote
Amazing video you two, love it. Btw not laughing gas, haha Nitrous Oxide - also known as nangs or whippets.
Best video, so informative
Glad it was helpful ❤️👏🏻
Thank you for a great video!
We're planning to go to Vietnam in November which was was one of the months you said was the best to visit in. However, since the climate seem to vary quite significantly between north, middle and south of the country which part would you advise to go to during that period?
Excellent 👌👍
Perfect way to start my Sunday! So happy to see you posting again, hope you’re both doing well ❤️
Your travel guide vlogs are a wonderful combination of travel knowledge and pure wanderlust. Your passion for exploring new places is inspiring. By the way, have you had a chance to explore the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack by NomadLane? They could be great additions to your travel adventures.

Earplugs are terribly handy regardless of where you are.
The older you get, as I have found, the more sensitive your hearing can become.
I am never without earplugs when I want to sleep anywhere!
I went to nhs Trang . I like the Buddhist temples with dragons and buildings designs . Very nice country
Hello dudes! Thank you for making amazing videos! I love to watch your adventures! Also I am from Ukraine.
how is ur country now bro?
Great video, i was trying to figure out there was something different about Claire. Your hair is a different color 🥰
Thank you for your time and posting (I took notes). At the time of your posting; the exchange of USD 1 = 23,902. Now (May 16); 1 = 25, 441. Also, the 90-day visa w/ multiple entry is US$104. :) And a few rumors that VN 'may' create a retirement visa in the future. :) I'll be traveling there in September and staying for 1 to 3 months starting in Hanoi, to see if I want to retire there. Hope... Hope... Hope... :) Subscribed, great info.
Hi guys thank you for such a beautiful guide through my favourite country. I jst wanted to double check Vietnam Escape tours. I’m bringing over my whole family of 10 next year, and I think these could be the guys to organise the on ground tours with. Any advice xxx
Vietnam Escape Tours are amazing! Sooo organised, you won't regret using them🙌🏻
Thank you so much for this video! I am planning to take my 3 daughters on a holiday from Australia. I was thinking about Thailand but came across your video and decided to go woth Vietnam, so thank you so much for that!
The only 2 questions I have is:
1) Is there easily accessible Clean toilets with bidets? (I feel stupid asking this question but I dont do well with public restroom unless they're clean 😬).
2) Are there Halal options for food? Is this something that will be hard to find?
Good morning 🌅🌄
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ from 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
I'm going to Vientam, nothern part, Ninh Bin, Hanoi Halong, this, northern vietnam and food tour in Hanoi was very helpful and informative. Thank you! But I have one question about local internet sim cards. Are they really 4gb or 6gb per day? It's more than enough but just want to make sure.
very nice
We are planning to travel to Vietnam in May…
I'm looking for a relaxed breakaway place in Vietnam for a birthday vacation for 7 friends? Secluded. Where would you recommend?
Miss our fun times in Bui Vien 🤣
Great video guys! Thank you for the ton of useful information! We will be coming from South Africa and going to Ho Chi Minh City in December. Do you recommend buying a SIM card at the airport and using Grab to get to the hotel or should we just organise a transfer with the hotel (they charge 650000 VND which sounds like a lot)?
You should buy Sim card at the airport, its not much expensive than outside. Then, you book the grab to the city around 6 or 7 usd. Get outside, across the internal street 1 minute, on your left side is grab station. Easy right?
Thank you so much VuLe! That definitely sounds easy enough. I've already downloaded the Grab app and loaded my credit card on the app. Hopefully it works over there😊
May I suggest looking into eSims instead of physical SIM cards. If you have a reasonably new phone, you will have at least one eSim slot. Just look into what eSims are. Have fun! :)
Welcome to my country🥰🥰
Wow
❤Great Guide Guys. You are the best at it. Be Well. Stay Safe. Harriet Jim and Yuki
Spectacular Vietkongs
Forget HSBC their machine at the Ho Chi Min Airport Sucked up my card then shut downed , had to spent 3 hours at one of their branches next day to get it back . No explanations given !
What did you use Vietnam Escape tours for? In your video, you said you booked your hotels online through booking sites. Thanks as preplanning for March 2025.
All our transport and tours. They can book accommodation for you as well if you need 😊
I’m from Vietnam🇻🇳
Hi our flight is on Dec 20th from India to Hanoi via Vietjet airlines.
We have a transit at Ho Chi Minh.
Now we just want to know where would be the immigration will it be on Ho Chi Minh during transit or it will be on Hanoi.
P.S: We have given the entry port as Hanoi Airport in our Visa. We have only 2 days to board the flight 😞
First of all, that was a lot of great info. I'm from Canada and havent traveled outside of it. I'm middle aged now, so im intimidated, especially because I'd like to travel solo. This video made me feel more anxious about it and overwhelmed. Any suggestions? Vietnam was at the top of the list, because im intrigued by Asian culture, although a have not much experience with other cultures.
I suggest you do your first solo travels in northern Thailand (Chiang Mai). Things are much easier there. I'm traveling solo now and am currently in Vietnam.
Have you considered Bali in Indonesia? It’s a much easier place to travel to as a solo traveler. So is Thailand. Vietnam is a lot harder because there’s more of a language barrier and everything is so foreign. With that being said though, lots of solo travelers travel there and they do just fine!😊
😊😊❤
😊❤
Does someone have any suggestions on where to go if you want to experience beaches that is not Phu Quoc? A place that is not completely dead but still not a party place?
I haven't been, but I've done my homework as I am going to VN in September, and Da Nang always comes up at the most beautiful beaches. Have fun.
Rhett I was surprised on this clip that you mentioned SA, are you my homie?
Of course bru😁❤️
Dankie mos
❤
Guys, I am a little confused: At 29:19, Claire stated that in the 9 months of living on Vietnam, you did not get sick once however at 29:50 Claire stated that Rhett got quite ill. Which is correct, please?
I said we hadn’t got sick from water or ice in the 9 months😊
@@RhettandClaire I thought you meant from anything.
He was horribly hungover - that can happen anywhere :)@@SuiGenerisAbbie
@@ericb7156 Right you are. Hangovers can be most gnarly.
Can you rest a scooter in Hanoi and return it in ho chi Minh ?
Yes🙏🏻
What is name of the travel agency you advised in this video?
www.vietnamescapetours.com 😊
cảm ơn, ơn sounds like ''earn'' in earning money.
Very informative video but need to improve the audio. I had to set the volume to the max and still had a hard time hearing and I don't have any hearing limitation.
Sorry you found the audio bad. We’ll see what we can improve in the next one. Thank you for the comment🙏🏼
Can you please visit Azerbaijan. Please.❤
Nice talking 👄 like talk showed in USA 🇺🇸..all Your Excellent Videos..❤🎉❤🎉Love You all..
Thanks! 😃
21:30 -- Rhett, Confucianism you say like this: Con-fyu-shion-ism.
Taoism you say like this: Tow-ism. The first syllable is pronounced like the word, Ow the word you say when you get hurt or some such.
The gorgeous long, flowing dress tunics that the Vietnamese women wear over loose trousers, are called: Áo dài and you say those words like this: Ow-DIE.
I learned a lot from your video for Vietnam. What about restrooms, is it free to use? I heard some places, u have to pay or buy toilet paper to use them?
@stevenhuynh..didn't right..
You're Ếch nhái ngồi đáy giếng
Ở Việt Nam hiện nay Văn minh
Hiện Đại chứ không phải như thời Ông Bà Cha Mẹ của nhà Họ Huỳnh của Anh đâu..trên toàn Thế giới Họ đến Việt Nam đều Yêu thích Việt Nam
Chứ không phải như Gia đình
Họ Huỳnh của Anh lại hỏi 1 câu quá ngu ngốc như Vậy.!!.?? Huỳnh.??
Thank you . Very helpful. BTW, Ive heard that apart of English they speak French and Russian, so if you are a bit more intelligent and not too lazy and arogant to expect everyone to speak your English, you'll be fine
You are so mean. If any French or Russian, then it would be from the tourists and tour guides. English is the official language around the world.
Visit India ?
Thank you for the vietnam travel guide but I need to confirm that is most of places Vietnam is hot and very very HOT 😆
It really is!
I'm planning my first trip to Vietnam for the history, culture, and landscapes but as a solo white guy I'm pretty sure most people are just going to assume I'm a sex tourist :(
Honestly VN is still ok price, but what makes it cool is the lawlessness of it. Its a filthy place in general, and the tourist attractions are super underwhelming. Some food is decent, but I would say Bali food and Thai food is much better for tourists. As somewhere to live its great, for tourists its crap.

Be safe guys, get fully vaccinated. Vietnam has a significantly higher vaccination rate than South Africa. The pandemic is over, but it existed and did. I almost bought your travel information. Glad you're healthy, not everyone was.
They kicked out your country lol
My wife and I spent 3 or so days in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was by far the worst country we've ever been to and a huge contrast from Thailand and all over SE Asian countries. Every second of the day, we were scammed out of money everywhere we went. It is also a huge process for Americans to get visa's to get into the country. The airport officials scammed us out of a total of $140 USD. When leaving, the airport workers through VietJet stole more than $5K USD worth of watches out of my bag and my Valentino cologne set, which cost over $300 USD.
I'm a Vietnamese... reading what you said makes me very sad and angry... the negativity that exists in my country... on behalf of them I apologize to you very much... for not being careful happy memories in our country....😢💔
Sad to hear that, a friend has married a Vietnamese girl his vacations there always look great, maybe like anywhere else when they know your not local(i went to the States i have a friend there, they tried to 'scam' me until they realised my friend was American, it stopped straight away
“Every second of the day we were scammed out of money everywhere we went”, really? If it goes to this extreme, can you please give us an example where you were scammed. How did the airport official scam you? Can you elaborate on that so we can avoid this mistake!
You are exaggerating. You wrote every second of the day, you were scammed???? Really every second??? Ask the price before you buy something or use services how can you get scam. Vietnam is surely not perfect place, there are petty crimes like steal, rob...but saying every second you get scam is extremely beyond the truth.
Sound like a hater to me
I wish you didn't say there's no such thing as COVID any more. It's very much untrue and if people believed that they would be more irresponsible with protecting others and themselves with simple hygiene and precaution.
Thank you. I stopped the video right there. Grossly irresponsible.
Maybe they meant there is no more covid-19-vaccine requirement to enter the country.
Cry us a river
There’s no such thing as covid anymore. No one’s going around wearing masks and there’s no restrictions. Everyone’s living their lives.
Oh gawd here comes the PC police
HELO...TO VIỆT NAM
...LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤
