10 Things You Should NOT Do in Vietnam

[@kurtericmunroe9358]

I had a female friend who had gotten her laptop snatched from her motorbike in HCMC. About 5 Vietnamese locals suddenly sprang into action, caught the thief, and returned the laptop. This awesome "I'll protect you" spirit is common.

Nice!!!!

[@mickalbatross4883]

Vietnam is by far my favourite country I've ever visited, twice now and I'm itching to go back once the world reopens. I arrived in Ho Chi Minh city and hired a motorcycle with a plan to ride the Ho Chi Minh highway and the coastline to Hanoi, zig zagging and double backing between the two parallel routes. I was on the road for 30 days and either camped near small villages or homestays. The Vietnamese people and their culture changed me in so many ways and I'm forever grateful. When I recall the encounters I had, some bring tears to my eyes. One such story of many, was after riding solo for nearly 4 weeks and within 250kms of Hanoi and perfect weather since arriving, 26 degree C everyday, the temperature dropped to 6 degrees C and rain. To say I was freezing was an understatement. I had plastic bags taped to my legs and arms. The rain got so heavy I had to stop under a tree and was shaking violently from the cold. From across the street coming towards me is a Vietnamese lady in a wheelchair. She says hello with a big smile and raises her hands giving me a cup of warm tea. I take the cup and say thank you and she turns around and rolls back across the street in the downpour, disappearing into her home. The love and generosity I felt from all I encountered made me take a good look at myself and realise I needed to change my ways. My next solo bike adventure there, I rode the entire North Vietnam, crisscrossing and along the borders of Laos and China, for another 30 days. Away from the busy cities there are no places to eat but the Vietnamese people would invite me into their homes and I'd spend the night, eating and drinking rice wine, until late. Despite the language differences at times, I discovered this is no barrier to communication and close friendships can still be made. In the mornings after eating breakfast, often the goodbyes would be followed by a long hug, before setting off on my bike. I would ride away glancing back through the mirror, seeing the entire family looking on. My eyes would tear up for the feelings I felt. The Vietnamese people taught me more about life in 8 short weeks than my entire 50 years on this planet. They are a humble, accommodating, loving and generous culture. Vietnam is number 1!!!

Hello, where do you live? how old are you? I am a Vietnamese. I am very touched by the stories you told when you came to Vietnam. However, I think you've been lucky enough to meet nice people without encountering people stealing or sellers selled espensive for you. There are good people and bad people everywhere! It's just a matter of whether we are lucky or not. It is a pity that modern life has increasingly taken away the good values of our ancestors!

[@mickalbatross4883]

@@bichthuynguyen3142 Yeah I hear what you are saying. Yes good and bad people everywhere but what amazed me are that the good people are better than the good people I've met elsewhere. I didn't stay long in the tourist areas and spent most of my time in the country. I am from Australia. Everywhere I would stop for a drink and rest from riding the Vietnamese kids would come for a chat and to look at the motorbike as it was a dirt bike and not a scooter. After having conversations with the kids I'd often ask them if they wanted a drink or an ice cream? In two visits totalling 8 weeks, I wasn't able to buy any kid anything. All refused. Sometimes when I stopped by the roadside I'd hear someone calling Bia Bia and waving me over their place. I would ride over and sit down, often with 10 young men and women who gave me beer and food. Not once would any ever take money for the beers. These people were poor compared to me. I have many stories like this.

[@elliotbishop4475]

I enjoyed your informative presentation and your perfect English. Well done. I first came to Vietnam as an Australian soldier in 1968. It was a tragic and chaotic time in your country's history. Despite the war, I fell in love with Vietnam and its people. Even today, more than 55 years after I left Vietnam, I still feel a part of me remains there.

[@jetset4me1]

I have been to Vietnam 11 times. Love the country and the people. I was in Vietnam last year when Covid-19 broke out and stayed until my friends advised me to return to US. I remember how hard it was to get hand sanitizer at the store but was given a bottle by a kind Vietnamese man. I offered to pay but he would not accept. I was touched by his generosity and still have the bottle. I miss dining with my friends, the food and the country. I will return again when this pandemic is over. Vietnam is a long flight from the US but it is worth the time to enjoy Vietnam and make new friends. Vietnam is my home away from home.

That is so true about the coffee. I don't drink coffee but when I would go to my favorite breakfast cart for bánh mỳ op la or I a omelet on a bun. where I got my breakfast they didn't serve coffee but they would call across the street and they would deliver great ice coffee. And it's really amazing how they all work to make their businesses share items. Awesome place to see a grateful country and it residents. If I had to move to another country Vietnam would be first on my list. And maybe Vung Tau. To live.

Of all the countries I've visited, Vietnam was the most welcoming by far. Many opened their doors and were glad to share what they had. To be honest, I had the great fortune of traveling there with a friend/colleague, who was from Da Nang. We stayed a few weeks in the family home and visited many people there. We also traveled to Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Ho Chi Minh city, and many other places. As mental health professionals, we were asked to do some consulting with a drug rehab program in Ho Chi Minh city run by the church. They ran a small shop selling art created by the clients to help with their expenses. There were so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We did many things that are not on the typical tourist agenda. I've been thinking of compiling a book for stories from that journey. There are a number of photos I could include. When I decided to become an ex-pat, Vietnam was my second choice. However, I left California behind for the Mediterranean. If you haven't been to Vietnam, GO. The most important things to take with you are a ready smile, an open heart, and an open mind. Perhaps, one day, I will return. It is never far from my heart.

I grew to love taking my shoes off in houses, using traditional Indonesian mandi baths, and even the squat toilets, which I found so much more hygenic than western style ones. I also got a lot of use out of my belt pouch rather than carrying a purse. I liked that even independently of covid, everyone wore masks in public if they were ill. That's just common sense.

[@seunghyunpark7867]

Your explanation in each clip is very clear and focused. It is easier for me, a Korean, to understand Vietnamese cultures than other videos in my country native language.

[@WhatThePho]

Happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@sarvarashurov3978]

I am in Vietnam now and really enjoying my holiday here. Particularly, the beaches held me spellbound 😊

[@Ladycarla223]

Where in Vietnam did you visit

[@Ladycarla223]

I’m going there soon, in Hanoi. Solo travel and a bit nervous 😊

[@MrBilldo426]

I love your understanding and willingness to accept other cultures. Many people in today's world lack that. But we must be understanding of their life so we can help them understand also. Unfortunately the recent pandemic has prevented many from traveling and learning. I can't wait till things get back to normal!! I want to travel and learn more. The restrictions are keeping me away from my wife's family in the Philippines. People I love and they love me like a son. I really miss them ❤️

[@WhatThePho]

Oh no, I hope you can reunite soon with your fam. Hope you're safe and well!

[@yennhinguyenngoc4291]

I'm from southern regions and the beliefs you mentioned at 6:10 are utterly right. I've always been told about that specter tale when I was a child. I just think that they want to scare me but since I don't want to bring a hungry ghost to the meal, I end up stopping making sounds with any utensils, and it helps me a lot to fit me into appropriate behaviors

Hello

[@peterlim5814]

Vietnam is a beautiful country. Go with an open mind, no country is the same. This way, you will really enjoy the warmth of their people and country. 12 days in Vietnam, Hanoi to HCMC. wow!

I’m planning to take the similar route this Sept 2023 🙏🏽🤓

Thank you for this one. We already have book our visit at Vietnam since last month but we have to cancel it due to Pandemic 😥😥. I hope we can travel now soon to Vietnam.. One of my bucket list in Asia due to almost similar features to us, Filipinos 🤗. Love from 🇵🇭 Great content btw!!

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

Nice advice. You are right! The first time I went to Vietnam in 2018, something unexpected happened the very first hours I was there that made me fall in love with the country. I arrived in Danang at 6 am and it was too early to check in to my hotel. So I dropped off my luggage and started wandering around to find a cafe. It was the beginning of Tet so almost every place was closed. However, I found a place that was open (well, maybe it wasn't) and a man motioned for me to take a seat. He couldn't speak any English but he could understand my order and soon I had my delicious Vietnamese coffee. Then he brought me shots and we drank together - for Tet of course. It was 8;30 am, I was drinking shots with a man I had never met before in a cafe that was probably closed (I was the only customer and no other place was open). Then his wife came and joined us. That was my introduction to Vietnam - put me in such an excellent mood for the rest of my trip.

[@IjeneYourTravelBae]

I also arrived in Vietnam on the first day of Tet and was met with nothing open but a sweet hotel front desk clerk who brought me food made in his home by his wife for 4 days since nothing was open and I spoke ZERO Vietnamese and was definitely a scared little mouse to ask or venture out to look at night. It was very kind of him. I’ll never forget that.

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

@@IjeneYourTravelBae That's awesome - those are the moments you travel for.

[@josephjacobs6616]

I will be retiring in a few months and returning to Vietnam to live with my wife and family . I am done with the materialistic lifestyle and “keeping up with the Jones” mentality here in the US . Prices are ridiculous and inflation is setting in already . I’ve been to Vietnam 5 times and I love the country and the people . I’ll be 55 soon and my goal is to study Vietnamese language and history as well as traveling all over Vietnam . I can’t wait ❤️

@Joseph Jacobs just wondering when you retire will you bankroll the house assuming its fully paid already. And also are you getting a pension from the job your retiring from or you did a 401k or Roth IRA acct 30 yrs ago in planning for this retirement?

[@worldaviation4k]

Good advice especially the traffic. I've not been to Vietnam yet but when I went to Taiwan they also had a lot of motor bikes and I was stopping a little, I think because in UK they'd go straight but in Taiwan they change direction to go around you as if you are walking at a steady speed. Took a day to get used to it but it does seem safer than UK actually especially London. After staying in taiwan for a year and going back to London the traffic just goes so fast around the corner and the one way system also on some streets, I look the wrong way. In Taiwan they are careful because they have to always look due to so much traffic all the time, In london they become complacent.

[@thanhbuixuan6580]

Thank for letting us know. You guys are always welcome in Vietnam.

[@huyngaosbarca431]

Hi, I am your fan from Vietnam, I love your aviation videos a lot ❤

[@Rin-red]

i completely agree on Taiwan on pedestrian crossing... in every crossing lane, there's a signboard that says "pedestrian always has the right of way" which no wonder even the red light is already on and somebody is still crossing, the bikes or cars let the people simply walk like they take their time so well.... it's also prohibited to honk which i noticed 😊

Thanks for providing the details information Van! We are planning to take our 3 kids (who were born and raised in Denver, Colorado) to visit Vietnam in the near future and this video definitely gives us great information. I left VN when I was 15 and have not been back since. I love and miss our country, people, cultures, foods, beaches and the tropical rains...etc. Anyway, keep up the great works and can you do one of the video about Ha Noi city and Son Tay where my dad came from. Your English and pronunciations are excellent. Thanks!

Thank you, love your video. I was there 1969-1970. “Bac si” Song Pha. I now have some friends from there on Facebook. I would love to go back to visit. I don’t know if I will ever be able to. I did a lot of medical work with the people there. They were so kind to me. The people enjoyed when I tried to speak the language and got lots of smiles and coaching. Thank you again

I've seen alot of stories below about foreigners experiencing touching stories in Vietnam but i have this to say for people hoping to visit Vietnam after covid: It's not that the people are always nice, it's that we like to be kind to foreigners (idk it's like a tradition lol). Ofc there's a TON of friendly people here but don't act suprise when you see alot of a holes lol. Still, you should visit here!

[@patahel]

I really love the fact that you appreciate foreigners trying to speak Vietnamese (gives me more confidence and motivation to learn the language) and also that you laugh to make a light out of embarrassment…

[@rundle888]

The most important thing is that when in Vietnam, you should not talk about democratic rights or freedom of speech. Criticizing communism, or the work of the communist party in Vietnam. Violate this taboo and you will go to a communist traveling prison!

[@pragmaticapproach1590]

One extra thing - When you want to buy something and the seller give price! If her face look professional way - You should deal 1/5 (one fifth) of their proposal price! A lot of travel agent think that you just come one time, so they try to get as much money of you as possible. P/S Vietnamese also facing this issue. So best way is always to ask for price and don't hesitate in dealing!
