This Is NOT The Vietnam I Remember 🇻🇳 (Modern Saigon)

Today's adventure has me surprised and intrigued by just how modern Saigon, Vietnam has become!
From the architecture to the landscapes of certain parts of the city, it was amazing to see and compare to my past memories of the country.

@15:19. In that shot from the Landmark you the 7 apartment block buildings where I had a 2 bedroomed apartment on the 23rd floor on the otherside of the building from your shot. Had great views from the balcony down the Saigon river to Phu My bridge, we bought it brand new and then let out, as we have a house 30 klm away in Long Than. I stayed in the apt between lets and though very nice in some ways I didn't like rules and being watched all the time. I feel sorry for the home owners in the US having an HOA bossing them about. Covid came and so when a lesser left we could not put a new one in. Luckily the next door neighbor wanted a bigger apt and so bought ours. Out here in the countryside neighbors look after one another, we shared our home grown veg and fruit. As only one person per household, per week was aloud to shop, my wife suggested each household choose a different day to the rest and then we could all get fresh food daily. This worked very well plus the tables laden with homegrown food outside each house kept the locals fed. Family remembrance meals, birthdays etc. are celebrated in the street with us all lending tables, chairs, power cables and fans, plus of course the dreaded Kari Okay machine. Food or money is donated towards the do and a case of beer or three to keep the lads happy. Do I miss the apt in D2, the view yes everything else NO. Thanks for posting and have a safe trip.

thank you for sharing.

This is amazing City ❤❤❤❤

Cool vid dude

[@janchxxheonczsekk6412]

That Landmark 81 building is the 15th tallest building in the world. It was Southeast Asia's tallest building until recently and now the 2nd tallest. It's taller than any building in Australia and if it's in the USA, it will be the 2nd tallest building. That gives you an idea of how tall it is. And that Vingroup also is a high tech car manufacturer. Their Vinfast electric cars are now in America and soon to be Canada and Europe and then Southeast Asia.

[@thanhseven90]

👍

[@canhxuan6536]

In the US it ranks 3rd

[@MD77248]

But does that mean anything? No matter how many skyscrapers or car manufacturers there are that doesn't mean Vietnam is a developed country not even close and the Vinfast cars do not sell at all outside Vietnam because of the serious quality issue. It's too early to be flattered

[@janchxxheonczsekk6412]

@@MD77248 Duuhhh.. Did i said Vietnam is a developed country? Reading comprehension for you??? One day it will be a developed country but not now. It needs about 12-15 more years to be a developed country.

[@MD77248]

@@janchxxheonczsekk6412 Duuuhhh.. You didn't say Viet is a developed country but you were implying it. One day it will be a developed country but it needs at least half a century to be a developed country.

HCMC very colorful i love this city of Vietnam.

There’s a hotel in that building called Vinpearl I stay there when I’m in Vietnam.

[@davidkhai]

Oh that’s awesome! Must be super nice 👌

[@dannynguyen8259]

Wow beautiful city bro I haven’t been back since 42 years 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@davidkhai]

It’s amazing 👌 Hope you get to visit again one day

Welcom to Vietnam

[@sweetrock22]

the ice skating court reminds me of maquarie shopping centre in Sydney :D

[@mariocondello2353]

Maybe some tours of apartments and prices, ty.

[@vu86]

I stayed at one of the landmark apartment AirBnB last year, it was okay sometimes you can hear next door dragging their furniture.Not sure just my apartment the shower leaks into the bathroom floor when you take a shower.

[@stargeri5877]

HELLO DAVID🙂👍💪

[@yenlawong6605]

My husband and I went to the landmark building in 2020. We were in the top, and the sky was just like that (very cloudy) The Vin shopping building was more people at the time we were there. Most of the foods in there aren’t cheap! And you guys are so smart to check the price for Nike. I think they are much cheaper in the US and even look better 😅 Good work, Khai 👍

[@ON-rz4li]

hope u guys get to visit hue

[@heidipoon9141]

sneakers made in Vietnam are very good quality 😄

[@BaBen1410]

Yes, and clothes are so good compare to the price!

Hi if you dont mind me asking what is the camera u r using nice video. Looking on buying a camera for videos intending to travel overseas and need a small camera to record😊

[@davidkhai]

Using go pro hero 10, small and easy to travel with

[@JhunM69]

Wow, I didn't know that Vietnam already has high-rise buildings...my boy, you saw the ice skating place in the Mall of Asia. But in the past, in one of my visits to Manila, I think they also have one at SM Mega Mall (not sure if it's already part of Mandaluyong or if it's still part of Pasig. About the Nike Shoes, they may be made in Vietnam but the factory would ship them back to the US? Then the retail company in Vietnam would order it from the US and get shipped to Vietnam? hahaha crazy!

[@janchxxheonczsekk6412]

lol Vietnam has thousands of high rise buildings. In fact, I'm betting Vietnam overall has more high-rise buildings than Philippines as they 7 cities with many skyscrapers whereas the Philippines only have metro Manila and to a smaller extent Cebu City.

[@thit789]

😊😊

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

Cool video but I think u went to the wrong mall. You went to Vincom Thao Dien which is not a great mall. I have been there and it’s just ok. I think u wanted to go to Vincom center in D1 which is more happening. Yeah malls in Vietnam are ok not super awesome. Cool video and your sidekick Ms. Gong Chua Be APAC 21st Century is having a good time too.i found your channel and it’s interesting.

Vinhomes ocean park in Hanoi is better. This is just very normal

[@davidkhai]

Didn’t know they had one! Cheers

[@Saigon-hh4wm]

everything is good in Ha Noi now, but people, i am sorry to say that.

[@quanganh1368]

So sánh mắc cười nhỉ! Giá trị căn hộ ở một trung tâm đắt đỏ và một biệt thự ven trung tâm giá trị tiện ích thuận tiện công việc, hưởng thụ, hay sở thích của mỗi người khác nhau, Vinhomes Ocean park chỉ khác biệt hơn Vinhome Grand Park quận 9 tại thành phố Hồ Chí Minh là có hồ nước mặn thôi! Không biết nơi nào hơn nhưng trước mắt giá trị kinh tế thì căn hộ hay biệt thự ở đây mắc gần 10 lần nơi bạn nói. Đừng nên so sánh nhà mình với nhà ai hơn nhau nếu mình không biết rõ mọi giá trị đi kèm của nó nhé bạn !

[@nestorluna8062]

It's more comparable to clark green city than bgc

[@davidkhai]

I’ll have to check that out once I’m back in the Philippines!

[@pmq1501]

VinMart is already taken by Masan Group so Vingroup have to change it to WinMart :))) All of the Brands is expensive because of import tax. They don't sale directly to Vietnam market but have to export it. Cause the import tax here in Vietnam are way profitable than many taxes in US or EU, and they can file for losses for tex refund :))

[@davidkhai]

Ohh interesting! Appreaciate the info :)

I know it your channel. But Wendy is such an eye candy. Great video. 👍

[@davidkhai]

You’re not wrong 😂

[@Hanniboy2000]

i think luxury stuff in vietnam is more expensive then in western countries because the super rich people can afford it easily, while the middle class vietnamese won't buy it anyway. In western countries even the middle class and even poorer people buy luxury stuff. .

[@TheTruthSeeker756]

Are there a lot of non Russian,Chinese, North Korean foreigners there?

[@gillehrer2824]

Vietnam defeated the US to impose its a communist ideology and way of ruling in 1975, getting away from the American way of living. 48 years later, it seems to me Vietnam adopted American culture, food and language, although the rulers keep on saying they're communists... Am right or wrong? == (gilberto lehrer - brazil)

the Vin group sounding a lot like the illuminati !!

Villuminati 😂

[@tomlohmier4824]

Good-day Mate from L.A.California.Nice video but I would have been hard-pressed my-self to pay that twenty-five dollars to go to the top.What a nice view though. Was that the Mekong River running the city? I would like to know if it is. Glad you did not buy those shoes. They seem so over-priced. May-be that is the latest model or some-thing. I wonder if you would even pay that much in the U.S. Crazy. Those high-rises are impressive. Never thought I would see that from Vietnam. Looking forward for when you get out of the city and head to the country-side. That is what I enjoy seeing the most. Safe travels to you and Wendy. Tom the Cali. cat.

I believe ot was the Mekong River running through! I’ll be heading out of the city soon 👍

Referring to the fact that the goods are produced in Vietnam

@@davidkhai gotcha, yes many big company's outsource but that technically doesn't make them from that said country. I mean look at china they produce most of the world's top brands originally from foreign countries yet no one claims they are Chinese because they produced it lol. Awesome video btw bro
