  • This is 10 incredible things to do in Vietnam. I give you some hidden gems, some "off the beaten path" experiences, some shoestring options and budget travel ideas, plus information, advice, and tips to use when you are traveling Vietnam. This is an amazing country, so I recommend checking out all of my Vietnam videos to see all the amazing things you can do in this country. Pull out your pad and paper, take some notes. We have a lot of information to go over. We're about to travel all over Vietnam to discover hidden gems like Poem Mountain in Halong, the limestone cliffs of Ninh Binh, the famous lanterns of Hoi An, and the bustling streets and street food of Hanoi. We try Vietnamese street food, Bahn Mi, Pho, and more. Subscribe to follow this adventure around the world, and last but not least, please leave a comment below and ask me any questions about Vietnam that you have.

    • @AlexanderTravelbum
      @AlexanderTravelbum  6 років тому +3

      Yeahhh, it does happen. But I’ve also met a TON of people who have done it with no problems. I think it’s just the odds. Many more people travel Vietnam that way than you would think. It seemed like 80% of the people I met in hostels were traveling that way. But, the other options are pretty goood too

    • @WanderingRavens

      I am here the 5th time now. And i always have ridden without any police ckecks and accidents.
      But this time, as i arrived, a good friend send me a picture, where he suddenly witnessed an accident in Phu Quoc. A western guy lost his lower left leg. This totally shocked us, in fact it shocked us that much, because 1: His eyes while watching on his lost leg and the look of his friend standing aside. 2: It told me, how careless me and my spouse were riding all the time.
      3: This time we make a reflection.
      Meaning, never feel to sure about how good you can handle the bike, always keep your brakes and at least left mirror properly mounted. And, be, be, be, please be always as careful as you were during your first bikeride.
      Holidays must not end like this.
      And Vietnam is really worth to see.

    Also recommendable is the Island Phú Quốc, and Island just to the south of the mainland. Good connection through the air with the other big cities in Vietnam. Lovely beaches (if you manage to stay away from the majority of tourists;)).

    Hi, Great video. With Halong Bay tours, did you prebook them or did you go out to the area first and then booked a tour ? cost wise Id imagine doing them in Vietnam would be cheaper but worried that there may not be much options when we do end up going

      You can just go to the port. All the tour owners will see you and try to catch your attractions. Look up for the average prices before you go so you can make sure not be scammed to much. Prices can be flexible though.
      Anyway, if you get scammed in Vietnam, find some locals for instant helps, and contact the local government, and maybe find some journalist to back up the supports you would get. Vietnam is building its image so any scammed tourist can get good treatments by the government. Better have some Hotlines before you go there.

    If anyone ever goes to Hong Kong, I think the view from the Dragons Back/Shek O Peak(?) is one of the most awesome views I've seen(maybe outside NZ) and you get to go to the beach after. : )

    Hi ! I fell upon your video and I loved watching it! Amazing ! I was wondering if renting a scooter or a motorcycle in Vietnam is legal ? As in, what happens if I get into an accident ? Is there a kind of insurance I must get before travelling to Vietnam ? Also, I've heard of cases where papers were "fake" and people got in trouble because they were going around with a "stolen" scooter... I am just so nervous but I really do want to rent one so I can be free and wander where ever I want !

    Hey hi Alexander.. thank you for sharing the places.. I will be doing 1 day halong bay tour, as you mentioned we will be covering caves. I was also planning to do 1 day phong nha cave exploration from hue. Do you think I can skip this as I'm already covering caves in halong bay tour. What you think?

    Hi Alex, thanks so much for the useful clip! Amazing stuff!
    I am currently in Cambodia and heading to Vietnam tomorrow morning, I will have 10 days there. Is there a particular “loop” or tour you would recommend me doing in this short time (considering that I am flying back to Europe from Hanoi)? Considering I won’t have the time to do everything, i was considering arriving in Da Nang from Cambodia, and move up north. What do you think it’s best? Thanks so much, any tips would be very very useful and appreciated :)) keep up doing the great work !

    Hey man, really been enjoying your videos as I get ready for a trip to Southeast Asia. One question... how do you figure out how to get around all these places on a scooter and know how to get back into a big enough town to track down a hostel or hotel at the end of the night? Especially all the off-the-beaten-path or more rural areas. Do you buy local maps, use phone GPS...? Seems like either could be tough to use in a totally new place where you don't know the language on the road signs.

    • @AlexanderTravelbum

      I brought a phone from home that works overseas, but most people get a cheap SIM card and then use a maps service, or, the app Maps.Me

    Hi, you’re videos are very helpful!❤️ I was wondering if you travel Vietnam, can I go with a suitcase or do you recommend to take a backpack? I am planning a big trip through Asia, but I would prefer to use a suitcase. Just not sure if it will hinder me in my travel? Thanks😁

    • @AlexanderTravelbum
      @AlexanderTravelbum  5 років тому

      I made a video or two about packing for Southeast Asia, you should watch! You can go either way though. Backpacks are easier for further travel on foot between places, but a suitcase can be done. It just could be more difficult at times if you have to walk around with your belongings

      @@AlexanderTravelbum I'm traveling SO-Asia since 9 years (constantly, not for holidays only) and I have decided to go with a trolley and a small backpack. trolley under 20 kg and backpack (for laptop, cables, adapters, etc. and food) about 7 kg, thats convenient if you fly cheap. normally I don't go trecking with all my luggage ;) the times when I had 50 kg on my back are definitely over :)

    • @AlexanderTravelbum

      Horror stories? I used different companies many times and they were all about the same. I would just ask your hotel or hostel if you don’t see tourism or bus stations when you get there
