HOI AN Nightlife - Worth The Hype? | Vietnam 2023

[@paulsargent2343]

Thanks for super quality vlog Wayne . The beauty of travel is we have different tastes & that's a blessing . My back got all tense & stiffened up just imagining being amongst all that crowd

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers Paul! That's right mate, not everyone sees things the same as me and that's cool. I'm like a fish out of water in places like this. Beautiful town though.

[@lukesnowee4465]

Love it Wayneo

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers mate.

[@Johnstravels-rq1hy]

I enjoyed that Wayne. I intend to visit Hoi An so thanks for the video.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks John. It's a picturesque town , worth a visit

[@brettm1251]

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers Brett 👍

[@rudd2962]

really nice night photography n art work .. be hard to travel light with so many nice stuff around ..

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes mate, you could easily fill up a few suitcases. Loads of stuff

[@hfc6535]

Nice one Wayne. Happy to see video's on Veitnam

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks mate 😁

[@petergillespie6395]

I spent four nights in Hoi An and enjoyed it. Yes, it is very touristy. But then you have to keep in mind that you are part of that demographic. So best not be too put off by it. Everybody seems to be trying to sell you something. But I found the best way was to not break my stride and a no thank you. Once you engage in conversation, the sellers see it as a way in. I do realize that it is a bit more difficult as a blogger though. I bought a couple of tailored shirts from one of the many shops that Hoi An is famous for. I would certainly go back.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's nice Peter, great for a holiday. I met a subscriber who lived on the outskirts and it looked a lovely place. I guess we wouldn't live right in the tourist zone anyway. I'm to long in the tooth to be made to buy or do something these days, just smile and say nice to meet. The clothes and shoes look top notch! I seen many people buying suits. Thanks.

[@user-keepitreal420]

Glad you are showing the rest of your Vietnam trip Wayne. I would love to see you in Cambodia for some proper betty swallocks weather x

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers mate 👌

[@juliehawkes1050]

This place was allways high on my list,think it's far to touristy but looks nice.thanks for sharing wayne

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's a beauty little town, great for a visit . Thanks Julie

[@Bob-rt5vd]

Another great video Wayne! When you left Chiang Mai what did you need to get into Vietnam? Just your passport or something else?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks Bob! I needed to get the online E visa for over 15 days mate (maximum 30 days). But for 15 days you dont need to get anything, on a UK passport. I think it could be different on US passport.

[@iskandartaib]

13:53 - elephant pants.. 😁 I guess now I'll have to go through the video again to see if anyone else in the crowds are wearing them, or if it's just people from Chiang Mai... 😁 16:54 - ah, that's where those things are coming from, there's people selling them.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Haha i did remember seeing alot of Elephant pants in Hoi An. Fresh off the plane from Thailand haha.

[@kevod09]

Wow, that brings it all back 😢

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one Kev

[@latebloomerabroad]

I was surprised how crowded Hoi An was last April, even though Vietnam had just opened up. There were only a handful of foreign tourists; it looks much more crowded now! I stayed downtown until a bit after dark and then went back to my hotel a few blocks down, on the river. I could see all the boats from my room, it was pretty.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It did look amazing at night, like something from a postcard.

[@PaulinAsia_]

I will definitely go to Hoi An. Did you learn Hello in Vietnamese Xin Chao (Sin Chow --Chow is said with a decending tone) Or no thanks Khong cam on (Kong cum ern). I noticed Vietnamese ladies like to wear white dresses. At least they had life-jackets on the boats.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yep i sure did 👍. It's a place to visit for sure.

[@davidlomas9195]

Great stuff mate injoy your 333 and i am the same mate i dont like to see dogs being used like that

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks David! It wasn't nice to see that amazing dog like that.

[@robertburnett6348]

I had a Spanish teacher in California. He just arrived and wondered, "where are the people?". I didn't understand until I went to central America, then S.E. Asia. People everywhere at all hours. Of course, the Chiang Mai markets can be a little too much. But we are actually "locked up" in my country.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Wow, I had a vision of California, and people being everywhere. I been wrong all this year's 😔

[@mollerdk2000]

Yes, it's really cool to see it, I didn't want to see it every day either. It's just like phuket

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers Morten👍

[@peggyguest5812]

You back in 🇻🇳

[@WalkAboutWayne]

No, I'm in Thailand 👍. This is the Vietnam series that I'm finishing.

[@ChilloutLars]

Oh oh we're so confused, are you in CM or Hoi An!?! Sick sense of humour I am 😂 I tell you what. Nice change of scenery, Wayne. Bit of a break from watching the Thapae gate pigeons. Feel the same way about tourists mate, just got to block them out.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Them damn pigeons!! Probably the most vlogged pigeons in history. Famous them pigeons. Cheers Lars.

[@robertburnett6348]

We are all tourists. I don't bother me.

[@thailandheron]

Proper tourist today. All in a days work I suppose

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes mate, all in a days work.

[@randyirvine5858]

Was there 6 yrs ago for 5 days, hardly any tourists, beautiful little town. Sad to see that dog used. Saw that here too, taking photos with flashes. I said that dog will go blind and they tried to throw me out. I was working at the newspapers then & had it stopped. If you see wrong & do nothing your guilty as well🙏

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Great looking town mate, I'm glad i seen it. Yeah the dog wasn't the best of things to see. Well done on getting it stopped buddy. I sort of agree to the last statement, to an extent. Cheers mate.

[@randyirvine5858]

@@WalkAboutWayne I worded it wrong mate. I meant if you can change an outcome for the better you should try. I am no martyr.

[@boxcartwilly]

👍😎

[@WalkAboutWayne]

👌👌👌

[@Jefe_Perro]

Hoi An is a pretty place, seems like the kind of place you dont want to spend more than a night in while touring the country. A shame she didnt let you film the massage.. I would have loved to have seen that 😉 That must have relaxed your arsh. Im not touching your Hoi An has been GBed commentary 😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Beautiful little town mate. I can see why it's so famous, it is stunning. Massage was a gooden😉. Nice one Jefe🤣

[@merckxbelgium]

Thanks for the vlog. Thought I might go here on my next trip to Nam, but after seeing this it is off my list. Too many people. A real tourist trap.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's a beautiful place, but I didn't think much of How An. To many tourists.

[@stevens8785]

Beautiful place but a trap. Been watching Sean in Bali and it is pretty much the same there too- money gouging from tourists charging for anything they can. Do they have two tier charging systems too Wayne in Vietnam - double for the tourist. Most annoying but appears to be the case in Thailand too. Being approached by someone every few feet for this and that most annoying but, I guess, helps with content for you guys. Anyway another excellent video mate, always enjoy them. Cheers 🤩

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's a picturesque town mate and It helps the locals but it's packed all the time from what I've heard. Great place for a holiday. I haven't had so much dual pricing here, but I'm sure it happens. Alot more pushy in Vietnam though. I enjoyed it and would prob go back if I was with a partner or married. Cheers mate

[@robertburnett6348]

Nobody was "trapped". We aren't beavers, right?

[@robertburnett6348]

Just kidding. Grouchy old guy here.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I don't get it?

[@randyh.6928]

Hmm, just wondering with the success of your Songkran video... how about you do all your videos with a huge water gun, and hose people down as you walk past? No, never mind, just a good way to get punched in the face. And you are right, Spiderman with a gun??? That really is a nice town, very clean, and the nicest architecture I've seen of any Vietnamese city. Or are there others like that? A beautiful sight of the boats on the river at night. It reminds me of the lantern festival, but without all the trash clean up after, 555.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Shame it can't be Songkran every day haha. It's nice to get back to normal. It's a beautiful little town, well worth a visit but it's packed like this every day. Cheers mate .
