Spending 35 Hours on a Vietnamese Train (Hanoi to Saigon) 🇻🇳

You can get a plane or a bus between Saigon and Hanoi, but another way to do so is take the Vietnamese train line - the reunification express.
In this video I get to experience what a "first class soft sleeper" cabin is like on a Vietnamese train as I travel for 35 hours between Vietnam's capital of Hanoi all the way to Ho Chi Minh city at the other end of the country.
I'll give you a train tour, show you the toilets and take you along on my full experience of the reunification express... all 35 hours of it.

My SE1 train from Hanoi to Saigon seems newer though, now every 4-bed rooms have their own green book for regulations & meal ordering, as well as in-flight (?) magazine and artificial bucket of flowers

[@joyoushapes]

Daamnn this journey was long! At least you meet some cool friends and some less cool haha

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Haha don’t you hate on Fred like that 🤣

[@Fat_ChungUs]

You got on like the old cabin (I think so ) plus idk if you have miss the Hải Vân Pass, many people said it was the best views and tbh i've gone through that part of the trip and the view was nice!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Ahh did I? I don’t know but the other cabins looked a bit newer haha! It was actually the middle of the night when we went through the Hai Van Pass so you couldn’t see anything unfortunately

[@Fat_ChungUs]

@@RyanLeeBanks but in the day It's really nice

[@walkingestonian]

Very amusing and informative video. Thanks for sharing!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Anytime! 🥳

@@RyanLeeBanks i have question sir why are you filming this little girl

[@RyanLeeBanks]

@@LoanNguyen-el1mv because she was in my train carriage and part of the story, so don’t be weird

[@teopsjon8180]

I tried it last year. Don't know what train that was but it's a 32 hours trip. It isn't as bad as those naysayers made it out to be. In fact, I've thought of doing it again next year. The Hai Van Pass is the highlight of the journey. Don't try catching a nap coz u might miss it.

[@DrPubz]

my man Fred is eating and shopping the whole time he was on. An absolute unit!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Haha he was living his best life fo sho 😂

[@HienNguyen-cs1md]

Fred is the highlight of the trip probably

[@hieutrinh239]

Dude, if you want to go from Saigon to Hanoi or vice versa, then I recommend choosing SE1/2,3/4 and even SE5/6. SE7/8 I found it older than the other 3 pairs

[@RyanLeeBanks]

I’m heading back soon so I’ll keep this in mind, thanks!

[@maxdavies9327]

WOW 35 hours ???. I have to hand it to you Ryan your a brave man.... And I think you have learned to talk under water !!!. Its not easy doing a vlog on a 35 hour train journey.. Max. Australia.

It was a long and tiring process but we got there in the end, hey 😂

I was so invested in Fred's journey 😂

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Fred had his own story arc 😂

[@williamchen1997]

For Hanoi to HCMC which is over 1000 miles by rail travel, Vietnam should develop HSR with the help of Chinese or Japanese technology, so that it could reach the destination within 8-9 hours.

[@solue9]

They are planning a high-speed railway from north to south but don't know when it will start construction.

[@lullunglangi2386]

35 hours on the train 😅😅. I can't imagine how far it is.

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Yes mate, never again, I’d rather fly 😂

[@Fat_ChungUs]

Its only about 2000km I think so

[@TomCook1993]

Is there another more upscale train? 😅

[@alejaguilar9408]

[@brianhuiskes88]

Well at least our Vietbame friend was so polite to give someone else his seat away to someone else haha!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Haha that’s true! 😂😂

[@Alisson4089]

They always sell meal in car 1 on the train 👍

[@RyanLeeBanks]

I didn’t find a meal car when I looked!
