Vietnam is such an amazing destination to travel

[@damn_right_man8606]

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.

Paradise Cave is breathtaking but few travelers mentioned.

[@Staranew]

You’re blatantly right when you said people can explore different things in every corners of Vietnam! So many things to do, so I recommend that you can add more must-do things in Vietnam including mountainous areas in the North and Quang Binh as the King of caves in Vietnam!

Not sure if I'm up to renting a bike though...I feel like I keep hearing stories of travelers dying in wrecks over there haha

[@AlexanderTravelbum]

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]

That's good to hear. I guess the bad stories make headlines:/ Really looking forward to when you buy a bike there and all the great motorcycle road trip videos which are happen as well! :D

[@zineguri8515]

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

[@longdang1119]

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.

Hello Alex, its nice to see you recommend all the places Ive visited last year. Vietnam is amazing. Hope youre doing well!

[@yannimichellis6560]

Hey, I was just wondering. Where did you stay in Ha Long Bay? Would you recommend staying there yourself and taking a day trip/cruise? Rather than those luxury cruises from Hanoi I've been reading about everywhere?

[@AlexanderTravelbum]

I stayed in a hotel called Party Hostel and had a cheap private room there. It worked. And I would suggest getting a cruise once you’re there, much cheaper than booking ahead in Hanoi. I have a video about my experience in Halong and what to do

[@cynthiathuyngan7148]

I will be going there in October. Can’t wait to explore these places!!

[@dinaocto]

Is is feasible to do a Ha Long Bay tour and hike Poem Mountain in the same day? I am interested in going to Mt. Poem after you mentioned it but I am thinking about my overall itineraries in Hanoi... Thanks a lot!

[@AlexanderTravelbum]

Yes it is possible. It only takes 20 minutes to drive to Poem Mountain, and 10 to hike up. If you plan it right, you can do everything and have a great sunset there ✊🏻

[@dinaocto]

Alexander Travelbum I did some further research of the mountain, and some travelers in TripAdvisor said that the entrance to the mountain is being closed by local govt, due to some uneducated tourists who light a camp fire and it burnt some part of the mountain :(
