I enjoyed all of your Asian video’s, and let’s not forget Canada ones ,I’m your neighbor from Michigan, I definitely plan on making a trip to Montreal , Quebec, Toronto.👏👏👏👏👏

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

Thank you for this video. I thought Bui Vien looked kind of slow tonight; I was there for the first time about six years ago. My VN wife and I live north of Ha Noi, visited Sai Gon a couple years ago and will be back in a couple weeks. Many of the foot massage businesses are actually brothels. Since prostitution is illegal, many brothels advertise foot massage. Once again, thank you for your video.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I've seen it both dead and fairly lively.

[@sjdsnti9954]

As a persian I love vietnam , I hope visit one day ...

[@4klense]

You mentioned about the pick pocketing and phone snatching but that rarely happens, at least from what I can see. Every major city has its own problems but I can tell you that pick pocketing is the worse problem that could happen to you. Ho Chi Minh City is much much safer than most major cities in the USA

[@Binhnguyen-po8dd]

Cảm ơn rất nhiều, chúc cả nhà ngày an vui hạnh phúc thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉

[@JSK709]

i dont know how they would even be able to communicate with this loud ass music LOLL

[@ehmmmjay9907]

FYI, pho is pronounced "fuh".

[@JohnnyStrides]

Geeh, never heard that before 🙄

[@teleris6971]

🐧 Ich habe nicht verstanden, warum man dort sein sollte: Die Leute flanieren gestreßt richtungslos, um dem Krach und den Restaurant-Drückern zu entkommen sowie sitzen dort kapitulativ erschlagen & gelangweilt rum. Es ist dort beachtlich teuer und man kann dort nichts für sich positives tun. Ich sehe noch nichteinmal jemanden glücklich lachen. Was also soll das? -- Das beste an dem Video ist seine Authentizität. DAS findet meinen Respekt; GUT GEMACHT !!

[@azamyahmad]

Absolutely beautiful walk away tour and the filming night filming captured absolutely super awesome, super cool, appreciate your beautiful sharing, take a stay safe .. Merci beaucoup

[@mazz3736]

It's exhausting watching this, major sensory overload!! 😂

[@mariewiseman2962]

Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City after the end of The Vietnam War in 1975

[@tringuyenvlog2179]

Welcome to my Vietnam

[@martym61]

Nice video. Crazy night life. Seems like it's okay to call it Saigon.

[@PlaneSpotterYYZ]

I stayed on this street for two days after staying in the costal city of Vung Tau just south of HCMC for a month. HoChiMinh City was beautiful and I will definitely go back someday.

[@boomgraham]

aptly titled

[@mazz3736]

My idea of HELL!! 😂

[@nabilnassar4535]

Airbnb has been stolen $1200 from me

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@HoChiMinhCityNight]

Thank you for coming to Vietnam

FROM BUDAPEST HUNGARY

[@Budjettimatka]

Quite a throwback to memories. Such a familiar place, but a lot has also changed, and not for the better. I was at Bui Vien for the first time at the end of 2010, when I was there for the new year 2010-2011. Back then, Bui Vien was still a very peaceful street, but I saw a change over the years as it became unpleasant. In the beginning, you could even spend the night on that street, but not for many years now. The last time I was there in the fall of 2016, I was nearby, but I didn't even consider that street as a place to spend the night. Those side streets are still quite nice and Bui Vien used to be like that too.

[@sepandttcexplorer]

Good morning Johnny!! Great night walk tour around Bui Vien in Saigon. I would love to visit Saigon one day. Have a great Monday friends! Cheers 🥂

[@elainenunes7955]

It doesn't look like a very clean city.

[@Gary_Snook]

Everybody got motorcycles over there, are there any Ebikes .

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

Yes, many; they're quite dangerous. When driving down the road, if a person wants to turn, the driver has to be especially careful because ebikes are silent and may try to pass on the side to which the other vehicle is intending to turn. I've had a few experiences like that.

[@mikem8157]

Thanks for sharing your walk. I just moved to Saigon and went there for the first time last night. I guess because you are filming you weren't approached as much. The poor begging children breaks your heart. I was stopped by many beautiful ladies wanting about $50 for a good time. I wish I had time to explore the side streets... next trip 😊

[@brentsarazin6597]

This may sound silly but I Love the way the traffic mingles with each other. Everyone is aware of their fellow motor friends and somehow manage to avoid numerous, potential, accidents.

[@wwg.07]

sorry if i wasnt able to watch the livestream, my left eye is irritating me right now

[@walidahmad3101]

Hello my friend what is the name of the hotel you are staying in

[@Stravabond]

My most hateful street in HCM 🙄, live in this city my whole life but rarely go there. Well, now you know where to find a lady for the night

[@kinein]

Are there night clubs and bars outside of this street?

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

Loved this looks like a awesome place at night Ty for sharing this with us 😊

[@sandraholden9066]

Skip to 7:40... the first bit is boring nothing

[@gordonwchas]

Wow! Walking Street was crazy. Thanks for this

[@simplyrusty1115]

I’m going to person today am I going to see you there

[@Stone-Hill]

oh hope to see u in Saigon and welcome to Viet Nam

[@just-ice-and-peas]

hey Johnny , this is very depressing

[@BP-or2iu]

That seems like hell to me.

[@seanhayden7719]

Hello Johnny do you have any more travels planned for the future

[@JohnnyStrides]

Yes, heaps.

[@TienLe-xt4gm]

Tuyệt vời

[@Ban00]

Those women were soliciting you lol

[@JohnnyStrides]

[@danieljaeger6712]

Night mare

[@dennistheman7296]

Thanks!

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thank you Dennis!!!

[@limbs2655]

Who cares about democracy?

[@dinhgiatien6893]

Don't need a weak democracy, a strong government should be 😅

[@chrissinclair8705]

Did you ever get long time love for $10? :-) Great video. I didn't know the Vietnamese were such big Ozzy Osbourne fans.

[@murdock6450]

Definitely not crazy.. quite sad to see this place so ghastly. Those hosts who try to beg you into the bars are hugely off putting and must be doing the establishment a disservice more than anything.

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

They're like the old-time carnival barkers and actually drive a lot of pedestrians into their establishments, more than enough to cover their wages.
