haha they’ve been there for the longest time

[@Kate-oi6yt]

As someone who hasn’t travelled, your vlogs of your journeys fascinate me. You so beautifully capture all the environments you’re in. Always look forward to your next video. Your trip to Vietnam looks simply awesome.

[@kevinthewind]

I'm envious of your relationship with your dad... feel like I have a lot of making up to do to my own dad.

[@celiaaoki8298]

💝😘🤗

[@Tloc103]

Yeah. We must cherish moments with our parents. Traveling with them is so much fun. Especially traveling to their hometown. They have so much stories to share.

[@lakshmidevi0123]

[@NatTayHill]

Watching this makes me miss my dad. I lost him in a motorcycle accident in 2007. Your dad is so sweet and being able to travel with him is such a gift for you. ❤❤❤

[@tuong-cn-vo]

this has me crying in the school library bc of how beautifully it captures the atmosphere and feelings of being in the countryside in Vietnam TOT thank you for the video!!

[@erikm8372]

Side note/observation-when you guys first arrived, at 3 AM, to your grandparents' house, I just have to say that the sparkle on those floors is impeccable. 💖 Sooo shiny, polished & clean. Makes me want to go clean my room asap. Lol.

[@AprilCastillo-g7e]

Love your Vietnam videos so much. Would love to have an outdoor bathroom like the one in your hotel. And the boat vendors! Amazing! 💚 Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Missing Theo though. 😜

[@hellaunkool777]

I have stopped watching vlogs whatsoever because they always felt fake or super repetitive... this one was so sweet, and authentic and nice! thank you for sharing this with us 🥺

[@u60SingleMum99]

True 👍

[@u60SingleMum99]

That's why I always Livestream LIVE on my KZbin channel lol

[@17.nguyentuankiet21]

that is exactly what i think

[@soniapuri5444]

Agreed. It feels so genuine, authentic, raw and sweet.

[@MilesToGoGo]

I love when we get Dad content lol he’s just the best

[@andys6811]

Great to see a bit of Vietnam. You Dad and whole family seem lovely 😁

[@Denji.99]

I decided to learrn vietnamese this year wish me luck 😁

[@benjiplant]

Me too!! I’m getting one on one private tutoring. I’ve decided it’s time for me to learn it. Wish me luck too haha

[@Denji.99]

@@benjiplant good luck ✨ chúc may mắn

[@Team_Frogeto]

I’m Vietnamese and DEFINITELY will wish u luck

[@stuboyer1901]

Benji, you must have been in heaven with all of the local plants. Beautiful trip. I went to the floating market in Bangkok in 1972. Very similar but a much narrower waterway. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@no_longer_]

watching your Vietnam vlogs is just something so special to me Benji 😭. I mean i'm Vietnamese but this such a cool perspective!!

[@nadinesilversparrow996]

This makes me so homesick, I grew up in Saigon and those pink fruits were in our backward (I loved eating them with salt!) Also the boats are so nostalgic to me I lived near a river bed and used to think the boats with the eyes painted on the front were scary haha 😅 how I miss the motherland 💖💖💖💖

[@salut1810]

It’s always those little things that make us miss home, I miss mine too ❤️

[@maryannez5264]

Hello Benji, I watch your videos but have never commented. I love your Vietnam vlogs so much. My husband and I got to go to Vietnam several years ago and it's our most favourite place ever. I love the people and of course Vietnam. Thank you for sharing Vietnam with us again. I love the relationship you have with your dad, it's so lovely. Take care Benji

[@leahsfieldnotes]

I love your Vietnam vlogs sooo much

[@redrobotmonkey]

I'm Viet, and grew up in Canada, I was always self-conscious about showing the culture in the homeland. It was great that you were not afraid to show this side of yourself and where you came from. Respect.

[@wiln6854]

Embrace and be proud of your heritage. That's the most valuable thing you have and will be the best thing you do for yourself.

[@LouisNguyen-kd8mn]

Why not ?

[@wiln6854]

My friend, a psychologist noted that your problem, such as the fear of being embarrassed by your race/culture - if analyzed in professional psychology terms - is usually associated with well-known psychological disorders such as SAD (social anxiety disorder), APS (avoidant personality disorder). You can google up more on these disorders and see if you can help yourself, or someone can. Good luck.

[@silverlily4681]

I am Viet, living in US and VERY PROUD of My HERITAGE and where I came from!

[@ilovetotri23]

This video is so powerful for me! I married a Hmong person, and I can see so many similarities in the cultures! Community, love, caring, and food! Hope your trip is rewarding, inspiring, and peace filled!

[@nhanlam2571]

I’ve seen lots of videos of people of Vietnamese origin visiting Vietnam, and this one is just unmatched! Even born and raised in Vietnam, but I barely find peace around the corner like how it’s portrayed in this video. You indeed gave me a second chance to embrace and love my surroundings

[@nguday2003]

I love your footage and how thoughtful you are with the content. Thanks!

[@olgareyes5978]

This vlog is so beautiful. It reminds me of when I visited my grandmother in Puerto Rico. I spent most of my time in the mountains, lounging in a hammock surrounded by nature, enjoying great coffee, a good book, and beautiful sounds. Watching this video brings back memories of when I saw the film “The Scent of Green Papaya”; it evokes that same serene environment. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but the Vietnamese people I've met seem very similar to the people of my culture. We both are very persistent, cherish our culture, and do everything we can to find happiness and survive. That’s to say, I really admire the Vietnamese people, and I hope to visit Vietnam one day. It looks very peaceful and inspiring.

[@kanzabousmaha5293]

why it feels like cozy documentary everything looks perfect i enjoyed i wish it was longer

[@lucystevenson4951]

was feeling very stressed with my dissertation today but am so delighted to see a blessed benjiplant upload! thank you for always providing calm vibes in a busy world

[@greg4629]

can really see what gave him his inspiration. the home just looked nice before but now it's a small part of viet nam in LA

[@craigadams4143]

I so hear you on moisturizer when its hot and humid. I'm from the southern US and in the summer , it just all slides right off!😂. Also can identify with your mosquito dilemma. They love me , too. In July and August I rarely venture outside before sunrise and after sunset. Even with repellent, it only takes SECONDS for them to find me? 🦟 You hair also gets wavier in the humidity just like mine. Loved that bathroom in the eco-cabin. That was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your cousins wedding with us. and explaining the rituals. ❤

[@sinnela_poo2787]

I'm Vietnamese living in Hanoi but it's also my first time view these scenes of my country. All of them are really peaceful tho TvT

[@sinnela_poo2787]

Thank you to travel me around like this

[@stacelololol]

Nothing like being with family in the motherland 🫶

[@michaelolila5024]

your Vietnam vlogs are so heartwarming ❤

[@teenywhatever]

This feels so sweet to watch, you going to Vietnam and how your family spends time together ❤ thanks for taking time to capture and share this while traveling with family !

[@kismit100]

There is definitely something rather special about this guy, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@suibianslaopo]

I involuntarity cried watching your vlog because my hometown northeastern part of India literally looks like this, and while I love being in a big metro city there's no place like HOOME and its peacefulness. I would definitely travel to viet one day.

[@pman2916]

What a wonderful way to spend time with your Dad and family. I love your parents 😊

[@georgemanumua]

It's always a treat to see your travel vlogs. They are reassuringly comforting for me. The insights into the wedding traditions were fascinating, I appreciate you showing us. I hope the rest of your trip to the motherland was a wonderful experience.

[@maily6197]

my gosh that colorful umbrella at 0:05 🥹 legendary, I used to have that when I was 4, that was like 20+ years ago 😂

[@LeaTran22]

This video is actually the cutest thing I've watch today. As a Vietnamese it's good to see Viet Nam through another lens and after watching it, I miss my family so much now, it feels like I'm back to my hometown again

[@ramakrishnasakethmuntha3279]

Got so habitual of seeing Chris in every video of yours that without him it feels a lil incomplete 🤍🤍 but sooo pretty Vietnam

[@sanykwhyte5831]

I really love this post. Brings back lovely memories of my trip to Saigon a few years ago. I loved the countryside.

[@rosierose1167]

Loved this Video, it made me miss my Grandma. Theres nothing like a Grandmas Cooking, Love, Hug & her Spoiling U while there on vacation. The best time & memories ever❤ ☀️I cant stand the heat or humidity🌿 but really enjoyed All the greenery & 🍀how U tried everything offered to U🌿 Thank U for sharing Benji...

[@claudettelewis18]

Visited Vietnam last November 2023 with my family. It was wonderful to see your grandparents home in the countryside. Mornings when you can open the doors and windows are the best. As a child traveling to the Caribbean for visits with my grandparents was so similar - mornings with typical food for breakfast and the buzz of family moving around. Memories which will last you your lifetime! Thank you for sharing your Vietnam and family in this vlog.

[@bluesky4929]

I love the vibes, Vietnam seems like such a beautiful country!

[@syrupbender]

I'm not sure why but this video made me cry! So much beauty and culture that I don't get to experience or appreciate here in america very often.

[@cheslavo]

comfort vlog fr!!❤

[@emregokkaya]

you and your videos gave me so much comfort while i was feeling hopeless about my future and while i wasn't capable of doing anything. you're such a wonderful person thank you for doing this and keep being yourself 'cause that's the best you can do for this world. love you

[@TheUndeclaredNation]

thank you for sharing much precious family moments

[@dewislittlebeesje]

your dad is the sweetest. This is a very healing vlog. Thank you Benji

[@LDRcore]

I was attracted by the thumbnail of this video, expected for something cozy n chilling and turned out it's beyond it. Seeing you being around your big family made me miss the time I was at my grandparents' house every Tet holiday, we got lot of things to do together, foods everywhere haha, but I haven't come back there since both of them passed away. Btw this whole video is a vibe.

[@VeilOfMizery]

Vietnam looks so beautiful, I hope one day I’ll be able to see it myself but for now I’ll live vicariously through vlogs! Thank you for sharing such precious memories with us.

[@peterwilliams7335]

It is nice to stay in touch with your root, especially for those who were born and raised in the US. I appreciate your parents brings you to Vietnam often. I am ABC and so many of my ABC friends who don't speak Chinese and don't know about Chinese culture. As they are growing older, they wish they had some knowledge about their roots. It is not fault of ABCs but the fault of their parents who never pay attention or purposely to avoid to teach their kids about their culture background and their roots.

[@Toneehulk504]

You being able to hang out with your dad is such a blessing! My dad died when I was very young. I miss him dearly.

[@ElleDursten]

Amazing. I would love to travel to Vietnam someday. The water market looks wonderful. It reminded me of the riverside community in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, my country. Its very humble but stunning, amazing people, culture and food. Time seems to move different there and thats the vibe I got from your vlog too. We may be divided by kilometers, oceans and borders but we more in common than we think. Love it!

[@tylermacias8387]

Dad has a great sense of humor! Love him!

[@user-oz4ts5mv5h]

You're so lucky to still have your grandparents ♡ lovely video

[@gordonissocoollike]

That was simply wonderful , I am so glad to have found your channel and your lovely family

[@ittybittybatty]

What a beautiful country, it's amazing that you can visit there and see everything and explore, I hope you had fun!

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

13:40 this is the most interesting but really cool and pretty bathroom set-up ive ever seen

[@tientran9599]

So cool your video is so peaceful and fascinated. In many videos about traveling to Vietnam, your video brings us the most reality from the mosquitoes, local homestay, water apple to the floating market and Hue beef noodle soup.

[@leonduplessis]

I am glad you had a good time with your father's side of the family. I hope you and father have or had a safe journey home.

[@zingara76]

Loved your travelled blocks. The way you edit it’s so calm and beautiful. 😻

[@TJD63]

Hey Benji. I just found your videos. This one is the first one I watched. Wow. Interesting, relaxing, calming. You have an awesome family. In a way similar to most families yet so different. I sense a more peaceful and simplistic life and an appreciation for everything specifically family and surrounding nature. It's so cool how you embrace your roots with so much love and respect. Such a great relationship with your dad! Much respect to you. I'm looking forward to viewing your other videos. Thanks!

[@censon]

You look so happy. It is a joy to see you smile.

[@30-leminhngocnhan72]

Your dad has a sense of humor and YOU have a sense of being CUTE Luv your videos so much ✨

[@Jada_RE]

Y'all are SOOO beautiful. Every single one of you ❤❤❤ The floating market was mesmerising. The best part imo. And the fact that y'all travelled together overnight like that, even as a big family, is impressive and inspiring 🤗 Glad you're recording and sharing these moments. I'm sure your family appreciates it the most as a way of immortalising these moments 💕

[@BdManus]

Looks like you're having so much fun spending time with your family Benji. The cities and countryside there is very beautiful.

[@jessealexandra]

Just discovered your channel & love love your videos. I’m traveling at the moment and have been in Vietnam for 1 month. I love it here, the food is amazing!

[@Setsuzo17]

You guys are awesome. Thanks for bringing your culture into our lives! It’s beautiful!

[@banrions]

As someone who doesn’t travel much at all, this is really cool to see!

[@eitaabb]

bro just make me feel relax and chill after watching your vlog

[@Studycase3000]

Your father has such a wonderful sense of humor🥰 Ahh family, always something going on even when you think the day will be quiet. I am more like you and prefer quieter days, but then you spent the day at the floating market and I was in heaven (does that make sense?) I guess I'm an introverted-extrovert (more introvert🤭) I like new places and seeing how people live especially but need time alone to recharge. ANYWAY this trip looks wonderful. The traditional wedding to the lovely cottage getaway with out door shower. I've had outdoor showers in Hawaii and the USVI, they can be very relaxing with the sky above and plant and stone around you. Thank you Benji for sharing your trip (Sorry my comment is all over the place)

[@SapphicUnderground]

The self-heating shower set-up is so cool! I've never seen anything like that before.

[@quayswae]

Thank you so much for filming your trip to Vietnam! I always enjoy it when you post about what life is like over there.

[@nycwen]

This video brought back memories of my trip to Vietnam. It was the first time I really learned to appreciate durian because it's so fresh there! I really loved those rose apples, too! The food and fruits are so good! Loved exploring the river in Can Tho. Great adventure trip!

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

That was so good! Thanks very much for sharing! It just took me to my birth place which I can't travel so easily, so brought tears to my eyes! Thanks vey much for sharing and happy travelling!

[@DeannaD18]

Thank you for you vlogs benji, they always make me feel so at peace ❤️🍃

This is so beautiful and truthful ! authentic too ! Also as soon as you said "makes me feel like a princess" i thought i gotta be this dudes friend

[@kaodi6993]

The wedding couple are very beautiful. The ceremony is very different and seems nice. Families presenting gifts and respect ❤❤

[@ivychow99]

It’s unbelievable that the bathroom is outside. The picture at the end of the video is so cute.

[@hiru2065]

hi benji! i stumbled on this video randomly but just want to say very well done! it's so lovely to see you spend time with family, definitely makes me miss sri lanka and my cousins there. i learned a lot about vietnamese culture and enjoyed your film shots :) your dad filming is so cute haha

i went last summer to visit my grandparent in the countryside of vietnam as well. this video made me all remember it all and miss it so much. the colour grading and this entire videos is amazing! seriously made me starting to tear up!! thanks for sharing benji :) hope you had a blast!

[@gracekouvali6903]

Thank you for the video and showing life in Vietnam, the wedding and the river market. The eco lodge was kind of cool with the shower outside. Would be quite a place to visit.

[@Iloverice9119]

loved your previous Vietnam videos, so excited to see this new vid pop up in my feeds. ❤

[@LiahYoo]

this is so wholesome..! Thanks for sharing this with us

[@bruisy_591]

It's incredible how familiar everything in this video seemed to me, and it's on the other side of the globe! It's understandable to have similar weather in countries of similar latitudes, but every little thing (except food) was very relatable to latin people close to a rain forest, for sure! Lots of love from Brasil 🇧🇷

[@bla9803]

I missed you benji :! I never thought I'd this video as much as I did. I really like the simple descriptive subtitles : you just let us enjoy the scenery and the commentary was minimalistic, Thank you :)

[@minhnguyet1588]

Great to see you in Vietnam again. I met you through the video you went to Vietnam this time last year, so I'm happy that I can watch the trip again this year.

[@kcwillsanchannel]

seeing your vlog on Vietnam made me miss my family back in Thailand. Pho for breakfast always hits the spot.

[@AN-tt5jy]

Loved this video. The food looks so delicious! Thank you to your family for allowing us in their home. What a wonderful way to visit Vietnam through your videos for those of us who are unable to go. Also, your Dad is a star. 💖

[@svetiksemitsvetik2565]

Прекрасное путешествие! Вы большой молодец, что позволили нам с вами побыть с вами во Вьетнаме!🙏🙏🙏

Really cool traditional ceremonies. The food looks delicious! Love watching you with your Dad. I love that echo village ❤ Neat to see the markets and people selling from the boats. Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed the video.
