Watch the full Vietnam series here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maKYk56qmLucrsk&pp=gAQBiAQB

[@wherearewe-yt]

We've been watching you guys since the first days of your Asia travels, when we were preparing to move to SE Asia ourselves. Seeing these prices, and how little they have changed, is absolutely insane! We lived in Vietnam for a year, and Malaysia for 8 months, while we used them as a home base to travel to other countries - and it was absolutely amazing. Since moving back to Europe, prices have climbed more and more as time went on (while wages remained the same). It seems like many places in SE are completely unchanged, in all these years since we've been there. We're going back soon, and we are BEYOND excited to return! Amazing food, amazing people, and prices we can actually afford...😆

[@DaneAndStacey]

Guys that’s awesome! Yeah we were actually shocked at how affordable Vietnam still is, even with more commercialisation going on it’s still so affordable! Highly recommend, you’ll see later in our series some of the smaller beach towns are charmers and we could totally spend nomadic time there

[@cristobal5096]

Back in 2019 my wife and I were planning a trip to Vietnam and that's how we came across your channel back then, as we were searching for things to do in Hoi An. Pumped for this series!

[@DaneAndStacey]

NO WAY! That’s so long ago haha, thanks for checking in again with the new series.

[@IMMAAUG]

Going to Vietnam on Monday, can't wait to explore this beautiful country. Thanks for the video you guys are my fav..

[@DaneAndStacey]

Our pleasure! Hope you’re having an amazing time

[@h8739]

Last month I was in Hoi An, I visited An Bang beach and it was great. You guys should try it. It's about 4,5 km from central Hoi An. One of the best beaches in Vietnam.

[@DaneAndStacey]

It’s amazing right? We actually went, it’s in the video coming out tomorrow

[@mickp10]

Vietnam culture and people are wonderfu, and the pork is the best I have ever hadl. Hoi An is a must visit. Watch out for the mosquitos, our Vietnamese friend got malaria or dengue fever and was sick in bed for at least a week. Enjoy your trip.

[@DaneAndStacey]

So true, they just know pork aye? It’s delicious in everything. Ahhh that’s a shocker for your friend, we hate mosquitos so are always lathered up to avoid them 😂

[@andrewmcgregor9590]

Perfect timing! We are going to Vietnam at Xmas. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Amazing - hope we can share some suggestions over the series!

[@littlemissgemtravels]

I went to Vietnam last year on a group tour. I fell in love with it as a country and would love to go back. My dream would be to spend a couple of months travelling through. Hoi An was beautiful.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Fun!! What tour did you do?

[@littlemissgemtravels]

​I went with Gadventures. 17 days through Vietnam & Cambodia. It was magical.

[@azlifmohamed8804]

Appreciate the production value. Digging the graphics as well. Good stuff

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks for noticing the small things!

[@salanicus]

We've followed you guys from many years but got sidetracked as we're now living in Colombia, BUT WOW, LOVE this editing style you guys have going here. The short really caught our eyes and made us check out your long version :) Hat's off, exciting to see you guys evolving in such a positive way. Best Wishes, James and Kim ❤

[@DaneAndStacey]

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words and welcome along ✌🏼

[@84jordie]

This is such high quality production. Im not sure what microphone you are using, but the background sounds you manage to capture is incredible, and the commentary is crystal clear.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We really appreciate that, thanks. The mic is bloody expensive haha, glad to hear it’s worth it - especially in such a loud country

[@James-s1g]

Thank you for your interesting and relaxing videos filming in Vietnam. It is blessing for you couple to have money, time, and good health to travel some countries in Southeast Asia. Especially back in Vietnam. Thank you again for your great video filming in Hoi An. Looking forward to see other videos.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Kind words. Thanks so much!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Too kind, thank you!

[@mlebahe]

What is craaaazy to me is I started following y’all when I decided to quit my job and start traveling abroad in 2018. Ran into you on the beach in Canggu 1 year later when I was 2 months into it all… now 6 years later you’re revisiting the place the I’ve now deemed “home base”. Hope you enjoyed it as much as your first go around! Hoi An is special 💛❤

[@DaneAndStacey]

NO WAY! That’s so cool and you might not believe this, but we think we actually remember you as well. So happy to hear you found your path too, hope life is great for you ❤️

[@MargaretFromLublin]

Because of you I started looking up flights to Vietnam.. . Love your vlogs, lots of love from Poland ♥️

[@DaneAndStacey]

Yay! Are you going to visit?

[@darrenrogers5735]

Hope your ear is better, Stacey! Also I love how all Central Asian towns have like. A look lol. The same sort of shops, the same motorbikes... You know you're in that area, even if the details are different. Also I love the lizard just lying in the salad lol. Salt coffee sounds really interesting.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Very accurate, there’s just a ‘something’ right? You nailed it with your description! Luckily you can get antibiotics over the counter in Vietnam and Staves air cane right quickly l

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

[@keithprinn720]

some of those name brand shoes are actually produced in vietnam, thailand and phillipines before being sold by ASICS, Adidas etc in the west after prices jacked up 10 orc 12 times lol.

[@DaneAndStacey]

True! But I’d say the quality on the street isn’t the same, if we could source the real thing for cheap we’d be keen!

[@nicfish66]

Still watch your youtube its fab your both so perfect as a couple especially the conversation in your room about giving 9 points and the 7 is your normal but you said ok a six ha so funny guys

[@DaneAndStacey]

Haha yeah we're a bit weird at times, need to let it flow more in the videos I think

[@nicfish66]

@DaneAndStacey No really when you were rating the room from 1 to 10 and Danes face when you said 9 and what you said it makes the video great 👍

[@paulho5673]

[@Largeportion1000]

[@nicfish66]

Dear both firstly as I have returned from my Hoi an vacation I always used Kim Hoan Phuck as my exchange as you mentioned yes i enquired about the rates for the GBP £ i was always 31 and KHP the one you suggested was far better rate at 33 cant remember exactly the rate but I used them all the time I also walked around where you guys walked was great I visited so many places and had tailoring made too i still watch your channels as its funny to do this before going and after as prior to me going I only had memories of hoi an in 1990 now i watch your video and have memories of my time too thank you both nicky x

[@DaneAndStacey]

So glad that our videos have been helpful! glad you had a great time - can only imagine how special things were in 1990!

[@nicfish66]

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks!

[@bluestarfishsea]

Great video. How long did u guys live there for? Do you think you could stay there for a month and be happy?

[@DaneAndStacey]

I think we did about 4 or 5 months, 1 month would be great!

[@crackeds]

No QR code payment for tourists? Cashless option?

[@crackeds]

13:49 omg that was hilarious

[@DaneAndStacey]

😂

[@Jenny-MayWilson]

Whats the name of the hotel you stayed at please :)

[@DaneAndStacey]

It’s linked in the description for you! ❤️

[@Jesspowwow]

What’s the name of the place you guys stayed at?

[@DaneAndStacey]

I think they were rebranding - but it's linked in the video description! Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll try hunt it down for you. Very good spot!

[@shamitaiyer6456]

Did the gold shop currency converter place you guys went to allow you to cash out with your card? Or did you have to give them $ in exchange for VND?

[@DaneAndStacey]

You will definitely need cash to get cash, they don't seem fussed on the currency to start with though

[@anna_m59]

So what is the taxi from airport to Hoi An? I am coming in October for 3 weeks.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Hope you've found this already, sorry for the delay. → Da Nang to Hoi An Transfer: geni.us/SSMJz

[@jayhulrs1435]

How do you communicate?

[@DaneAndStacey]

A lot of Vietnamese people speak English (especially in touristy areas) otherwise good old Google Translate and we learn a few local words 😊

[@andyturner6158]

Hi there, we’re planning a Vietnam trip N to S with a longer stay in Hoi An but we’re a bit confused about what time of year to go. What month were you in Hoi An? Thanks Andy

[@DaneAndStacey]

Sorry for the delay, Andy! This was September, maybe we got lucky with the weather, but it was mostly great for us. Vietnam is so long though you can't really pick one season that works for North, Central and South sadly

[@hih-meh1344]

..the Philippines, are you not going back and why?

[@DaneAndStacey]

We 100% will and talk about it often!

[@s_s_a_g15]

Are you sure the shoes and clothing is fake!! Most companies now have Vietnam factories. North face has been there for many years?

[@QuanNguyen-qq4os]

Hoi An with many Chinese assembly halls ,only 1 rebuild Japanese bridge with strong smell water under .Oct to Dec full flood & rain,storm season 😢

[@DaneAndStacey]

Soooo not a fan then? 😂

[@kristinabrookes6777]

Have always wanted to go to Vietnam, what time of year were you there ?

[@DaneAndStacey]

We went in August and it was quite a good time ] !

[@rookieproducer]

Hi, what’s the model number of your Rayban sunglasses? It’s nice!

[@inminh98]

Thank you for visiting our country. But I want to say a few things that foreign friends still misunderstand about Vietnam. First, Vietnamese people are not like Chinese people. Because Vietnamese people have large, clear double eyelids since birth without the need for cosmetic surgery. While Chinese people do not have characteristic double eyelids. Therefore, I hope foreign friends do not misunderstand that Vietnamese people have eyes similar to East Asian people (Japanese, Korean, Chinese). We Vietnamese people are completely different from East Asians in terms of "eyes". You can come to Vietnam to verify what I say. You can go anywhere in Vietnam and meet many people with double eyelids. Second, Vietnam has a cold winter from October to March every year. That's all I wanted to say. Wishing you good health to explore other countries around the world .Thank you.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks for all the intel 🥰

I am 59 I backpacked South East Asia in the late 1989 onwards I boarded the first passenger plane in 1990 to Vietnam Saigon the public cheered as we came through went to Sihn Cafe $25 for a 15 day trip around the country but Hoian was lovely in return in November to Hoian the roads were full of bycicles in Hanoi anyway you both are great to watch

[@chrissteward5070]

The beer is called Larue (not Tiger), although it has a Tiger image on the can. Agree it’s not great. But, the real Tiger Beer, which is Singaporean and is also everywhere in Hoi An, is much better
