First Time in Saigon: I Walk, Motorbike and TukTuk Across Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳

It's my first time in Saigon so I start out on foot, then a motorbike to find the best banh mi sandwich, shopping at Ben Thanh market. Walking across town, past the opera house I tour the famous Hotel Continental and take a tuk tuk or cyclo down to the river and tour the iconic Majestic Hotel and the M Rooftop bar.

I wanted to do that or the tuk tuk but just ran out of time

I can tell that Xe Om guy must have been immigrated to Saigon from the North recently. Who would not know where banh mi Huynh Hoa is, especially when he does that for a living.

Reminds me of the bad old days before Grab when you had to negotiate a bike fare every ride. First thing I do when arriving in Saigon is to head to the Viettel shop nearby and get a local sim card. Cost me 14K dong six weeks ago with 30 days access. I maily used it to hail Grab bikes with the app.

[@BarefootVlogger]

T Mobile now has a partnership with Viettel so I actually had good service, very reasonable rates without a sim card. Also, the new iphones can't take physical sims you have to get an esim.

[@beachbum8888]

Terry your adventure was interesting

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thanks bb!

[@ductritran8637]

The guy on the bike is from north VN his accent is northern VN , he is bad , he want to take you to prostitute and overcharge you , you need Grab app in VN , everyone used Grab as it’s reliable and not overcharge . All you do is show them the address on your phone . Ben Thanh market is a place where everything are over price , Vietnamese expat avoid to go there because if they bargain usually they get insult and swearing from seller . Walking in VN is just walk , don’t run or stop , cars motor bike will go around you , the more you scare is the more danger you do to yourself . Enjoy your stay in VN

27:55 he was saying there's "rich man"....and that banh mi place i ate before only 1/4 of the sandwhich...i swear i would get a heart attack if i ate the whole thing

[@Sokx41]

Vietnamese is a tonal language. The tones are rising, falling, bottom sound, wavy, and question mark. Same word in English can have at least five different meanings.

[@MikeHoncho884]

Be careful, squeezing fruit into a drink like you did in that Coke at the hotel if you carefully squeeze and don’t drive it in because they may have not washed it or they washed it with city tapwater. Don’t eat nothing you don’t wash and peel yourself. A strawberry is totally off the charts for being possibly dirty because they rinse the sand off them with tapwater. Salads can also be rough because they rinse them with tapwater when I’m traveling I try to eat everything cooked and if I do get fruit, I buy it at a market, and I wash it myself with water that I filtered myself through a Sawyer Mini water filter back at my room. Another thing you can do to avoid travelers belly is take the proper travelers probiotics if you do get sick up on the probiotic it lessons the effect of the sickness.

Thanks Mike. I ate as normal for the most part and thankfully was ok

You are so wrong , go back and learn viet nam history . Trần Hưng đạo không phải là vua Quang Trung Nguyễn Huệ . Chịu khó coi lại lịch sử VN . Trần Hưng đạo là Tran quốc toản hay có sách gọi là Tran quốc Tuấn là danh tướng đánh tan quân Mông Cổ được nhà Trần phong chức Hưng Đạo Vuong thế kỷ 13 còn vua quang trung thế kỷ 18 tên thật là Nguyễn Huệ , khởi nghĩa tại Sơn Tây, đánh tan nhà Minh lập ra triều đại Quang Trung .
