Pushing Further Up North: Vietnam By Motorbike | Ep.3

[@nguyenchuong7142]

You guys make amazing video. I am Vietnamese but never done anything like this. Vietnamese people in countryside are very friendly and open to foreigners even though with the language baring. People in countryside they don’t speak english and they rarely see foreigners people that why they always say hello and smile at you guys that is just the way they show their welcoming, and more important they are must more friendly than people are living in the city. With the police most of the time they will stop trucks or cars for “money”. When they stopped you and let you go because they don’t speak english ( whenever you see cops just ride slow don’t make eyes contact until you pass them). Can’t wait to see more video about your trip in Vietnam. Have fun and safe on your trip, wish you all the best.

Another great video guys 👏 can't wait to see the next one!

Thank you!!🥰

[@Vehicleadventurenetwork]

Go Martha and those drone shots! So brave to do on the back of the bike and they look great 🤩

[@TheJammyGits]

Thanks so much! 😊 I can’t believe I was trusted with it😂😜

[@colleenlacroix9740]

I found when I did the north of Vietnam two years ago that I had a LOT of head turns, stares, and mouths gaping too, partly being foreigner, partly a women on a bike alone, but a lot because of being a redhead. It is not seen to them, the kids were very, very transparent with their fascination, wanting to touch my head all of the time. They are likely looking at your redhair! Thanks for going that route, I had been debating it for my return trip in April 2024, now I know it is do-able and beautiful! Thanks

[@scottldn]

Great episode guys. We just got back from Vietnam yesterday. Loved it and definitely want to return there’s so much to see as this video shows hope to see some more Vietnam content from you. Cheers

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you! Glad you had a fab time😄 Yes, more Vietnam content to come🤘

[@scottldn]

@@TheJammyGits Can't wait! Now you've done both Vietnam and Thailand which of the two would you say resonated with you most, and which would you prefer to return to if you had to pick just one?

[@moto.munchies]

Good luck guys, have a ball of a time and don't forget to savour the food!

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you😄

[@lachlansimpson-kx4qb]

My mate and I are doing this trip right now and are a few days behind you. These vids have been very helpful! Cheers :)

[@TheJammyGits]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@doodahgurlie]

Really enjoying this trip with you guys (virtually on my end). Loving all the stuff you see/do/experience going out of the way.

[@TheJammyGits]

Our pleasure! Thank you!

[@slowelowe]

Once again a top vid peeps keep it up x❤

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you😁

[@2wat205]

Hi Jammy Gits, I’m going on tour for 2 months, Dec and Jan, I’ve looked at Africa and south east Asia, your trip is making me want to do Vietnam. It looks amazing, I did Thailand about 10 year ago and that was amazing, I love your vids and it’s great to hear your Northern accents on here, as a Derbyshire man living in Buckingham it makes me feel at home. Thanks for the input you 2 have put in, maybe I will start filming my trips again. 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@TheJammyGits]

That's so good to hear, thank you!

[@dungduc4047]

Hi vọng các bạn sẽ đi qua đường mòn Hồ Chí Minh hùng vĩ...tới tây bắc Việt Nam qua những cung đường đồi núi đầy quyến rũ. Chúc các bạn may mắn và mạnh khỏe trên hành trình.

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you, we will be doing the HCM trail in the next episodes

[@Phillip_Deane]

Hey guys your smashing it . Some fab views out there xx

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you☺️

[@colezg2947]

Great video guys! Nice riding skills to 👍☺️

[@TheJammyGits]

[@TheBubblewrapboy]

Looks like your having a fabulous time guys 👍

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you!

[@quangnguyen-im7gl]

You are so brave and adventurous couple, but it s an experience for a lifetime, well worth

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you!

[@user13mo]

great trip! thank you for sharing

[@TheJammyGits]

thank you for watching😃

[@phiminh5073]

The black beans you saw next to everyone's home is black pepper, the area around Buôn Ma Thuột is famous for it.

[@TheJammyGits]

Oh wow, thanks for your comment! There were so many of them so it's good to know what they are now :)

[@ameliawilkinson6879]

Just discovered your channel. My daughter (I'm dad and seem to be logged in under her name) and I are travelling a similar route later in the year. Your honest, down to earth, pragmatic style is a joy to watch. Thank you so much for including costs of meals/accom, etc as it's really handy for planning our trip. Good luck.

[@TheJammyGits]

Wow that is so awesome! Comments like this truly make our day, we’re so glad you enjoy our content & hope you and your daughter have a lovely time in Vietnam!🥰

[@tamzinmay__]

Amazing🥰

[@TheJammyGits]

Thanks 🤗

[@jessecao8596]

Really enjoy the first-person pov like I'm there riding with you. You guys really went far inland to black pepper and coffee country, didn't you? I can't imagine riding for hours on a bike, as fun as it is, it's just too much on my bum. That's why I'm living vicariously thru you, haha... Btw, appreciate the time and effort you put into editing--the graphics, the music, the voiceover narration. 👍

[@TheJammyGits]

We were really inland, but we love it like that!! Thanks so much for watching😁

[@tylermoore3686]

Brill once again guys, love the rawness of Vietnam, something you don't see every day :-) Ps Martha, nowt wrong with not washing ya hair LOL also great to see you narrating Mitch 🙂

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you! 😃

[@tuananh2377]

Hai bạn rất can đảm , hi vọng hai bạn có ấn tượng tốt về Việt Nam, đợi chờ video tiếp theo

[@nocancelcultureaccepted9316]

Đất nước mình sẽ đẹp hơn nếu mỗi người sinh sống sạch sẽ gọn gàn, không vứt rác bừa bãi. Chỉ cần như vậy thôi.

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you😄

[@Wadey6]

Brilliant

[@HaNguyen-cp8ub]

Stay safe, enjoy the view

[@watjejanssen7535]

enjoyed watching thanks !

[@TheJammyGits]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ediebernard2241]

I would recommend you guys to try the seaside road , it's just fantastic, better road n amazing scene :3 Love ur vids btw

[@TheJammyGits]

Next time! Thank you!

[@chautiendung]

Y’all look so happy. It’s show on y’all faces. Awesome.👍 Thanks for sharing.🙈 Btw, the horn telling ppl I’m here!! Do u heard it? That’s the reason to get organized chaos.😂

[@TheJammyGits]

Yes we are, thank you!

[@RustyCohle]

Perpaps the fuzz were about to shake you down for beer money, then saw that you were recording the interaction and reconsidered, lol. 🤣🍺

[@TheJammyGits]

We did think this..🤣

[@Warclock07]

That's how the country side toilet is :) You guys missed the Dray Nur Waterfall in Buon Ma Thuot

[@TheJammyGits]

Someone told us that it was unfortunately closed the day we were there as it was on our list! Hopefully next time🤞

[@louyht7]

Awesome. Nothing like riding motorbike across Vietnam. I think yall skip the coastal road from Mui Ne to Phu Yen one of the best scenic route in Vietnam.

[@TheJammyGits]

We agree, riding a motorbike is made for Vietnam and the roads!

[@TienVu-iv3hu]

the trip is very interesting

[@TheJammyGits]

thank you

[@MilesShirley-y6b]

You seem to be lovely, natural down to earth people. I've enjoyed watching your video. I recommend diving into the experience. There are lots things that I could recommend. Foodwise ... when you're near the sea - gilled fresh squid "muc nuong" washed down with some beer "bia". Grilled pork loin pre marinated in fish sauce and soy sauce. Thit heo = pork. "Nuong" - grilled Vietnamese are generally friendly, lovely and warm hearted. If you try to speak to them in Vietnamese, they will be delighted. And they will want to practice their English with you.

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you☺️

[@baoxeng7493]

So nice

[@TheJammyGits]

Thanks!

[@xuanmai7133]

Buôn Ma Thuột and Pleiku are not very popular stops on the way to North. I would recommend stopping at Dalat or Hoi An. 🙂

[@TheJammyGits]

We like the 'non popular spots' and thats why we chose this route😃

[@travelcungduong]

well, welcome to highway 14 and the specialty is a lot of police. Have safe Trips and enjoy

[@TheJammyGits]

thank you😁

[@MarkAnthonyTravels]

Great videos. I'm leaving to travel for a long time soon. One fact you may like though, is about honking. You've mentioned it a couple times. Honking in SE Asia is actually done just to people that the vehicle is approaching. Locals actually get annoyed when people don't honk.

[@TheJammyGits]

Thanks for the info! Hope you have a great time travelling 😁

[@arkythanoz2390]

Great video once again, bike will be a bit light on front end with all the gear, meks them muddy roads interesting 👍

[@TheJammyGits]

It does indeed..👀🤣

[@springroll703]

Love watching your Vlog. Also dont u have to ride to HCMC to return that motorbike?

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you😁 No we will drop our motorbike at Style Motorbikes in Hanoi!

[@thongduong6275]

Hi, from Daknong to Gia Lai, or you are driving on QL14, you need to keep your speed about 50km/h, Police anywhere to find and catch who over the that speed

[@PhucBui]

Buon Ma Thuot is my hometown; I was born there :D. At 4:10 I think those are black peppers, but I could be wrong XD

[@TheJammyGits]

I think you're right!

[@ngocuongtran7250]

Welcome to VN ^^~

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you!

[@sn8886]

Look like you guys survive the VietNam traffic

[@TheJammyGits]

Yes we're getting used to it now!

[@asthasr2]

I guess you guys are well away from this area by now, but Kon Tum has some great cơm niêu (clay pot rice).

[@TheJammyGits]

Ah that's a shame we didn't get to try it!

[@intovn4014]

I used to have to remind myself that it was a real country, not some Disney "Motorcycle Land". I bought a good pillow to ride on, caused some laughs from friends but those seats are for 30min trips not cross country! You couldn't wish for a better country to motorcycle in especially on the little roads often 1 lane. If you really get on the small stuff unfortunately google maps fades to a light grey uselessness in the sun. Best wishes! PS there is a really cool cultural exhibit in The Pleiku area but i never got the name. We found it just wandering around the area.

[@TheJammyGits]

Yes the ache and pains from riding for hours is REAL! But we love it, and thankfully the beautiful surroundings take your mind off it.

[@jimvandam123]

As Viet American, you are awesome. But you chose to go out of the cities and rural towns that are fully develop.

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you. Yes we prefer that way of travel

[@skallifrey306]

I was looking at doing a trip to Vietnam (Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh) I was wondering if you guys knew if it's possible to rent a motorbike in one place say Ninh Binh and leave it in Thanh Hoa? Thanks

[@TheJammyGits]

Some companies might be able to be that specific, but Style Motorbikes, the company that we went with have shops in Hanoi, HCM, Hoi An and Ha Giang but you might be able to find a more local one

[@sirhoopalot1]

Ok, I have to admit, the creepy toilet “scene” with the mad dogs was hilarious. It’s like The Blair Witch Project in VN.

[@thamhoang80]

Hai bạn này chịu khó trải nghiệm ghê

[@AnhHoang-mm7sz]

The cops in Vietnam usually set up “check points” on busy roads. Before you actually reach the main checkpoint, they already have other groups hiding somewhere 1-2km away to measure your speed and photograph your license plate if you are speeding. Then they will stop you at the checkpoints but I guess you guys weren’t going over the limit that much so they let you off 🎉

[@phongdinhnguyen-rw1jf]

👍👍🔥🔥🙌🙌

[@dansmall13]

I often hear that you shouldn’t have ice or eat uncooked vegetables in Vietnam when visiting as a western foreigner because it can upset your stomach. Did you avoid/have any stomach issues/tips on how to approach this?

[@TheJammyGits]

We didn't avoid either of the two and never had any issues 😁

[@confuseddragon8693]

You figured out Bac Xiu. Now I will call you a woman of culture. Cheer! 😂

[@TheJammyGits]

🤣

[@mebesaturday]

@Jammy Gits they didn't say anything because they thought you would be Vietnamese and when they saw you are foreigners they said "slow down" because they can't speak enough English to communicate and it would just waste their time. Also, how did he get an A2 Vietnamese license? or is he driving with an IDP?

[@TheJammyGits]

Ahh, that makes so much sense! Mitch is driving with a International Driving License

[@tomdiesen4767]

😎

[@mebesaturday]

@@TheJammyGits whit the A2/motorcycle stamp/mark and from the government not from the private companies? just tryng to figure things out thank you

[@ParaicCullen]

Simply here to say… first comment 😂

[@TheJammyGits]

Legend!

[@davidnguyen4885]

Hey you guys awesome ride, but just make sure y’all where your mask 😷when riding. That road dust is bad. Have them folks you meet subscribe to the channel they love the attention 👍🍻🍻

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you, we usually have our full case visor on so we don’t have the dust problem unless talking to the camera☺️

[@TranHoangQuan]

19:80 they let you go because they dont speak english and they dont wanna to lose their time on you guys. I was stopped by the police 3 years ago while I was riding in Vietnam at the exact same place! My first mistake was that I spoke Vietnamese to them and they know they can get money from me. You were lucky!! be safe!

[@youyuanzaihui]

19:08 Or 19:80 ? 😂

[@TranHoangQuan]

@@youyuanzaihui hahahah i meant 19:08 thx hahah

[@TheJammyGits]

Ah that makes alot of sense! The one time it was helpful that we don't know much Vietnamese then🤣 thanks for your comment!

[@thamhoang80]

Tôi nghĩ sẽ tốt hơn nếu bạn đi Theo đường quốc lộ

[@TheJammyGits]

It’s ok, we like this way!

[@quannguyenminh9462]

Actually because you guys have the Camera, so they just find some random reasons to say to you and let you go

[@TheJammyGits]

Ah that’s what we thought!

[@sn8886]

You could use Google Translator

[@TheJammyGits]

great idea!

[@tuannguyen-om2hh]

you were stopped because they thought you were Vietnamese. they would stop people, and you can either pay a bribe or they would threaten harsher punishment for whatever violation they deem you committed. they let you go because they couldn't bother with the language barrier and explaining to you how things should work (vs the people who live there that already know what to do when they stop them)
