@@seasiderdave391 it was magical

@@RoaminRob no pizza, we enjoyed the Cambodian restaurants too much and we *may* have left with some riels, but there's always next time as we loved the country

@@aspiring... Thanks for watching, it's quite an amazing place, we had three days and saw only a fraction of it.

@@redindreu9624 thanks, it was August 2022.

@@docmemphis2760 Do you mean have three nights in KL before going to the rainforest? If so, yes, we only had one, in fact just 18 hours. If you mean three days to include KL and the rainforest I would say don't bother, you'll see neither of them well. Pick one: as much as I like KL it's a city, whereas Taman Negara is possibly very different to previous experiences.

@@66Trips i think we will just do a daytrip to batu cave and genting and possibly still have time in KL in the evening

@@docmemphis2760 sounds like a good idea, we had a few nights in Taman Negara, I wouldn't have wanted any fewer.

Hi, all the routes are available on my web site london-to-paris.winchcombe.org

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures thanks. Wish we had more time there but my dive course took up half of our week. We'll visit again I hope

@@richardgrimbleby7853 such a shame, I'm sure the vast majority of those who stopped there out an awful lot into the local economy

@@василисалопатина-ш4о Thanks for watching. From memory (it was a while ago) we left just after 8am and reached Kuala Tahan between 4 and 5pm. But this wasn't all travelling, there was a stop mid morning and then quite a long time at the boat jetty station where you can eat a meal.

@66TripsLeft thank you! ☺

Thanks for watching Rob. Diving is a lovely thing (ear problems for me aside). There's no feeling quite like it, the weightlessness, the tranquility.

@@66Trips think I'll save up for somewhere nice tho, seen so many people go somewhere and they can't see anything 😭

@@RoaminRob Sail Rock was pretty good although when I dived previously near Phuket I felt visibility was far better. But the currents were unusually strong I believe, so visibility must have been reduced because of this.

Great news, although I hear they'll be shutdown soon. Sad times.

@@MedhaShekar Hi, I'm starting to wonder if they're no longer open as I can't find them on AirBnB any longer. I also messaged the owner and got no reply. I hope they are still going, it was my trip highlight such a wonderful experience.

@@66Trips Ouch!! Thats sad, Would have loved to experience it.

I think it was around 12m

They have two dragons, not sure they're real though, or which one is Lucy 🤣

@@66Trips there was only one when we visited last, she is a large black one which breaths smoke.

Blooming ace experience isn't it. Did you stay on the same one?

@@66Trips no mine wasn't registered, I found an old fishing guy in the port and agreed for a sail around, then he showed me his brother's floating home, next thing I was invited to spend a night drinking playing cards ❤️

@@RoaminRob amazing

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks John. We didn't get very long there but we will go back one day.

It was. Look back to last year and there's a bit of footage of the food at Selera Lubuk Buaya, August 2022

Thanks. We did the loop twice, got absolutely soaked on one of the days but got offered a shelter from a local, whom we chatted with via Google Translate for 30 minutes; it was a lovely experience

When did that happen?

Beginning of last year I think.@@66Trips

not if you have a german registerd van like me

Feel free to ask me any questions. It's simple to organise and cheap when there, it's just the flight which is the issue.

Yes, annoying isn't it, unfortunately I don't have the decent equipment many do.

Haha, yes it's a great place but maybe my worse quality video, it was 14 years ago though. Check out my recent Vietnam series, or some of the van trips.

@@66Trips will do van trips for sure 👌

Thanks for watching. We were there in August, it was quite good weather but so hot, slightly cooler than My Son though.

Thanks

thanks

Hi, yes kind of, I've got another video lined up for the inner x , it's a full tour, and I messaged the owner to ask about the listing. At the moment the listing is down, but he hopes all will be back soon. If I find anything further out I'll post a comment here...plus I'll be able to do the other tour video.

@@66Trips thank you!! Do you have any idea why the listing is down? Like is it just a tech glitch or is he not accepting guests?

@@juliaclark4191 I think it's two fold: in March the Inner-X moved from Lan Ha bay to Bai Tu Long, but it's impossible to update the location of an Airbnb listing. Charles the owner has been trying to sort this. Also he's got to sort out the property for fire regulation changes, which I guess it tricky considering what it is and where it is. So in essence they can't have anyone booking at the moment, I hope they can resolve that.

@@66Trips got it. Do you have contact info for them where I could ask how the fire proofing is going? I’d be interested in helping out if they are accepting volunteers also but don’t have any lines of communication.

Thanks Janice. We barely saw any mosquitoes anywhere in Vietnam, and certainly never got bitten much - and normally I'm a mosquito's favourite food.

Thanks, I love it, and it may be joined by others before too long. White highlights? Not sure I had any of those, or do you mean my hair cos I'm an old git? :-)

@@66Trips Once you pop, you can't stop lol. And noo, you have great hair, don't worry lmao. In my experience, usually when doing realism, they put in white ink after all the black and grey. So you think your tattoo is done, but surprise there's more, and it's going in already sore spots lol.

@@TheotherPoolboy you might be right then, for the final bit I had to lay face down so couldn't see, and it's the only time it felt sore.

It's a DJI Mini 2 SE, cheapest of the Mini range, works well as long as I didn't hit anything (which happens). Lotus Field isn't hard to get to or around, taxi from the station drops you direct, then either use bicycles or like us hire a scooter direct from the hotel. The staff there are great, the food and ambiance good, just wish we had longer there.

@@66Trips Thanks so much for your help! I'm thinking of 4 nights at Lotus. Did you feel Lotus Homestay was relatively central to all the scenic tourist areas via scooter? I worry that it is too rural. But ~15 min each way scooter ride to places is not bad at all

@@subarianEra Yes, via scooter it's no problem at all, in fact Ninh Binh's side roads are so quiet it's an absolute joy. 4 days is great too as we didn't have time to get to Hoa Lu, which we didn't know was there until we arrived and our forward itinerary was already booked. Where else are you going? Phong Nha? Halong?

@@66Trips I decided to opt out of ha long bay for ninh binh. Being stuck on a cruise doesn't excite me. I rather bike alongside the mountains like you mentioned on a quiet road. Just sapa, hanoi, ho chi minh, and hoi an.

@@subarianEra We didn't like the idea of a cruise either: currently editing my next video of our floating homestay (the Inner-X) in Bai Tu Long Bay (next to Halong), which was the best experience of our trip. In case you haven't, read up plenty of Sapa's current state.

Thanks for letting me know. I had heard the government destroyed it when they destroyed half the buildings in front of the temple.

It was an epic day out. Just doing the video for the Phong Nha Loop which was another great ride, potentially even better, be live Saturday hopefully.

We just did the transfer with them - there's another video of mine all about how to do that. We booked the hotel separately, as I wanted a bite of the river.

@@66Trips thank you

Thanks. I'm trying to release one a week but I'm not as quick at my video editing as you are :-)

This one's a small update, next week's is a cracker, I've watched it half a dozen times already

I'm well aware that I can't pronounce any Vietnamese words properly, I'm sorry about that, but I heard several people say it that way.

Thanks. It was the River View Ledge, about £17 a night.www.booking.com/hotel/my/taman-negara-river-view-lodge.en-gb.html?aid=318615&label=New_English_EN_VI_27026991385-SbfX4qC7oAyHRYJK_yRWPwSM217286956720%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap%3Aneg%3Afi%3Atidsa-64415224945%3Alp1028580%3Ali%3Adem%3Adm&sid=2515e866edc5e204a17e2dc3a2eb8bb7&dest_id=-2405198;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;group_children=0;hapos=1;hpos=1;no_rooms=1;req_adults=2;req_children=0;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;sr_order=popularity;srepoch=1692766124;srpvid=661c21d4a82d0038;type=total;ucfs=1&
