Danang, Vietnam - Where To Stay

[@phuochungle1309]

Hello John, I'm Vietnamese, I've watched a lot of Vietnam travel videos and vlogs, but I especially see your channel making videos in a very professional and detailed way, including talking about historical origins, and you always have respect for the countries you visit. I wish you always have happy and joyful days.

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I really appreciate that you took the time to comment. I wish you many blessings to you and your family!

Why promote big luxury hotels that are a far cry from the lives of Vietmese . Da Nang is a fantastic city that deserves better than this one sided video. Sorry but there so much more to talk about. Typically American report

Watching this video takes me back over 53 years since the last time I saw it.

[@Analog_nomad01]

John, great advice! I am retired 4 years now and have been doing the "slow travel" thing, even during Covid a bit... I am settling in on a couple favorite regions and I think I will wind up in places that I like the best in 3 or 4 regions of the world. South America, SE Asia, Eastern Europe and my home, for visiting family in North America. I just arrived here in Vietnam after seeing Phillipines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia. Da Nang has been high on my list for a long time for its affordability, mild climate and central location. Maybe we will run into each other in a couple weeks when I get to that part of the country. Thanks!

I was stationed at Da Nang Air base from Jan 1968 to Jan 1970. Made several trips to that beach, to us it was known as China Beach. I would LOVE to go back there now, in these current times, so different from when I was there! But at my age, I have mobility/walking issues, just don't see me being able to properly get around.

My favourite beach location John in Vietnam is Danang. The Expats I meet are working with a real work visa, running a business or investing in one with a proper investment visa, married to a Vietnamese and have a Dependent visa or TT, Viet Kieu with the appropriate visas and The Tourist who comes and goes with a tourist visa. All contribute to the economy which helps Vietnam. Not so long ago people working or trying to retire on tourist visas were told to leave the country. I enjoy your videos and I enjoy Vietnam. looking forward to the next episode.😎

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Thanks much appreciated! Prices will fluctuate and possibly drop in 2025. Putting prices in and then not being accurate pisses people off. Can’t help you with surf quality. Not as good as Indonesia but it does attract a bit of a surf crowd. Thanks again!

[@koushalrayi]

Here after Kuala Lumpur metro guide video. The detail and style of video with map markers is so cool and made it easier to watch than other KZbin videos yapping all day. I had great time staying 2 nights in son tra near beach last year. The crowds were less and accommodation was surprising cheap compared to Saigon and Hanoi. Your weather advisory for November was spot on as we landed da nang in rain and Hoi An was flooded. I had great time walking entire dragon bridge and going to cho con market and ended up on river cruise with lot of Koreans 😊. I loved Da Nang and want to spend more than 2-3 days here. The combination of sea front, river front especially walking spaces parallel to the river and proximity to airport and Hoi An makes it an all rounder. Thanks for bringing back my memories and all the best for the channel. Wish you make more videos in neighbouring countries as well. 👍🏾👍🏾

New sub. Excellent video. Just returned from a week in Da Nang and Hoi An. Explored a few of the districts you covered. Although the beach is spectacular it also naturally draws loads of tourists. Prices for food, drink and accommodation are higher here. I’m looking to spend 3 months per year in beautiful Da Nang. I would prefer the west side of the Han river area. Loved it! Bamboo 2 bar is a great location with riverfront and bridge view, cheap beer, good food and great background music. Beer Garden nearby is good too. More locals. The city is very clean, the traffic is not outrageous, the air quality is good. I love Da Nang! ♥️

[@backpackingbold]

John, what you said about changing this mental blockade in your head, and instead of staying in ONE ( does not matter how " idyllic") place on your retirement, stay three months or even two , and then move to another interesting location. My plan for retirement ( very soon:-) is to make " slow travel loops" . One of those " loops" will be : Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malesia, Philippines. Second " loop" Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Albania. Third one ( but not the last) will be : Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Costa Rica. Overall, this mode of travel makes much more sense than staying in one place ( for me). Btw. Great video , very informative , even though I was in Vietnam , also DaNang year ago.

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Thanks so much! I Love your “travel loop” ideas. You’ll collect some of the most amazing memories and have a much deeper connection with humanity in my opinion than you ever possibly could by planting yourself in one place. Best of luck with everything!!!

@@iamjohnsaboe Thank you! I should mention that I will document my slow travel loop experience with my YT videos :-) . I created my chanel @backpackingbold , one year ago but it was more to learn how to edit videos , so quality is far from what I would like to see , and what I hope to achieve, starting full time travel life style and posting regularly. …and it makes me even more appreciate your videos quality and I see how much work and time it took you to create it.

How the visa works when you arrived in Vietnam 🇻🇳? I'm planning to go but Iam not sure what to do, if land in Bangkok and go Vietnam after, or go straight Vietnam from UK.

@@explorewithus05 makes no difference. Whatever you prefer.

Beautiful Danang

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Yes I agree!!!

[@vivienneduong6541]

This youtuber reminds me of a friendly, trustworthy neighborhood, Mr. Roger or chill uncle. So much work is put into the video, very appreciated. Edit: he looks like an older version of Richard Gere.

[@iamjohnsaboe]

😂I hope you are thinking of a much younger Richard Gere!

Why should you stay in one country? As a retired person you now have a lot of money and can afford to visit a new country at least every 3 months! Enjoy your life!

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@swedendive]

[@chinonco4885]

Hello John. We just got back from almost a month in SE Asia. Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. And was thinking about Da Nang and came across to your video. Perfect timing. I agreed with you about not staying one place but explore others countries before you settle down. Great video. Thank you.

Thanks John, that's a wonderful intro to Vietnam. I'd like to view a video on Hoi An, if you've made one. I hear Hoi An is magical. Thanks again
