Looking great Khải, I am half Chinese and half Vietnamese just like you. Live in USA for the past 15 years and now happily permanent reside in HCM city. 🥰 Edited: Be careful on the road, stay away from the big truck, don't drive near or beside them, too dangerous, cause the blind spot they can not see you and don't try to past them, slow down and just let the big truck go past you first.

[@Sokx41]

Before you mentioned the sunset I had guessed this was the western side of the peninsula. It was not developed at all in 1974. The big mountain has an old historic French-era cannon emplacement that was built to protect the port there.

[@relentless6505]

The milk thingys were Rubber Plantations! Love the vids man, keep up the great work! ♥

[@thytrinh3211]

@10:00 those bundles look like cassava/ yuca plants. They cut them down to smaller/shorter stalks and plant them in the dirt. Cây khoai mì.

[@EllisWR]

Looks class mate have a sick one! 🇻🇳

[@yamuiemata]

07:40 that is a rubber tree plantation , the white juice is basically rubber Indonesia is full with them

[@reyaz8531]

HYPED! Looking forward to the journey. Keep it up David! Thanks for sharing the source for Speedy. This is my favourite Top Gear episode

[@duongthehung]

Oh wow... I will follow your exciting adventure 👍

[@kenjiha8]

The "white milk" is the sap from the trees. It is dripping down the plastics and collected. For example, the saps are used to make the automobile tires.

[@MysticYears]

Great episode. Looking forward to seeing more on your ride!

[@tvhung83]

Way to go, David! it's in my bucket list too.

[@HungGnuyeen]

Love these types of videos, David. It's nice seeing the fancy, expensive side of Vietnam, but getting to see a more rural side is great as well. Can't wait for more videos from this trip of yours, stay safe brother!

[@che-nv3lp]

What an adventure you’re on have fun!!!

[@williammccartney1634]

"We will try him in the north, they love eating dogs up their" 25:50. OMG that was so funny, I almost choked on my coffee.

[@davidkhai]

😂

[@titiung]

Love your videos man! Keep it up.

[@shadowone247]

Awesome, cannot wait to see more especially the layover at various towns. You are taking your content to the next level. This will be epic. 🙂

[@Star-008]

Very interesting road trip, nice!! Safety first 💕

[@kmlchannel]

I love your new series of Vietnam, keep releasing those video.

[@jn3750]

I love these series. AA bro.

[@fjeisdivoojlk]

[@reefsurfing3273]

G'day mate, looking forward to following you on your adventure through Vietnam, ride safe bro 🇦🇺🇻🇳👍🙏

[@DevineOne]

Thanks for taking us to Vung Tau bro

[@Max_Thi]

It's going to be an exciting trip David, Take care, have fun... You're only young once :)

[@Kushal6831]

Awesome video😊

[@davidnguyen4885]

Bro, you’re one lucky guy you’re definitely living my dream hopefully in about another year or two I can travel on motorbike throughout all of it now not just north to south. mad credits to you, bro

[@Majikdiva]

yahhh living da dream in Viet Nam ...U aint see anything when its rain ! yahhhhhhh ....Thts living the dream , flooding everywhere hah hah Gooooo there !!!!

[@davidkhai]

Hope you do! It’s an awesome experience so far

[@ngdnhtien]

Lost it at the dog meat joke at 25:50. Great video David. Stay safe bro.

[@h011yw00d]

Looked up what tree sap they were collecting, seems to be for latex/rubber!

[@knt214]

Love your videos 😍

[@MyTubeOne]

Great content

[@frenchtelemarketer]

Hà Giang Loop in Northern Vietnam feels like visiting another planet.

[@leonsound1000]

thank you friend after one day your skin looks rough. please stay safe for us!

[@Blazintidus23]

Hope you have a spare phone just in case. Driving with your phone out in the open like that in VN looks risky 😅

[@morgankovarik3649]

Yea I have that planned out but coming back down will be inland. I will be starting from Tuy Hoa.

[@Majikdiva]

yahhh living da dream in Viet Nam ...U aint see anything when its rain ! yahhhhhhh ....Thts living the dream , flooding everywhere hah hah Gooooo there !!!!

[@vindicus]

I just got back from VN. It was so hot!

[@davidkhai]

I sweat daily haha

[@xcx23cwea65]

Those were cassava plants on the road side.

[@Creees]

foreigner xe may drivers always says the north is more beautiful than the south, but thats because the foreigners never drive through the mountains and other areas except when they are in the north. Da Lat is amazing and havent been but even Pleiku has my interest. Central Vietnam is absolutly stunning

[@ptbngoc45]

go try " Bánh Khọt" , it's Vung-Tau famous dish.

[@votong2289]

Làm chuyến đi xuyên Việt luôn Khải ơi.

[@shamilazorba]

As you know the prime Minister in United Kingdom is Mr rishi sunak with bliss from zorba 🇲🇻 xxx

[@tyyg9469]

Watch a movie called The Lover. The movie shows the French using Viets as slaves to collect the sap from trees to make rubber

[@Sokx41]

By now you know that this is a large rubber plantation. Lots of them north and northwest of Saigon. I passed by them in 1974 on a bus.

[@Sokx41]

I was last in Vung Tau in 1974'; went there with my then in-laws. Visited my brother-in-law's grave at a RVN military cemetery. He was a Sgt in the ARVN. I imagine that cemetery now may be closed or razed. On another trip I went by bus alone to Phan Rang to visit the Cham Cultural Center and commune with the culture of Champa--the subject of my 1972 M.A. thesis and then my erstwhile Ph.D Dissertation.

[@nguyenn99527]

Bro I live in Melbourne. When I came back from my Saigon trip. I noticed it’s a different world.

[@davidkhai]

Completely different

[@fkaceng]

Good job bro. How about going further from Hanoi to Ha Giang Loop. I haven't seen anybody ever doing that so far. Most, if not all only stop at Hanoi or only do the Ha Giang loop separately.

[@davidkhai]

Probably will go to Ha Giang loop!

[@jejudo3000]

Ride up to China mate! 🇨🇳

[@The_Great_Unknown_Road]

Ruhber tree, cây cao su and bunch of cassava, cây sắn; Statue is Trần Hưng Đạo - Hưng Đạo Đại Vương Trần Quốc Tuấn, the military leader that lured Mongols tidal traps in Bạch Đằng river, which lead to the ultimate victory against their invasion. Trần dynasty bested Mongolia and later (renamed after Kublai Khan conquered the whole China) Yuan Dynasty 3 times. Vietnamese disagree on many things divided by political views during the cold war, but all of them deified him as a saint or deity - Đức Thánh Trần Hưng Đạo.

[@davesivirn2283]

A grand adventure lies ahead. Just a few suggestions from a guy who has done some extensive riding in Vietnam. Please please gear up. Goggles or better still a full face helmet. Some sort of jacket that breaths and offers some skid protection. Gloves gloves gloves. if you ever fall off the first thing to hit is your hands. Long heavier pants, think of your bare skin hitting the pavement. Also you will come to learn the trucks are the biggest risk, one almost killed me. OK OK I will stop with the negativity. You are going to have an amazing time. Far and a way the most fantastic riding in the world in an amazing country. I look forward to tagging along. thanks.

[@davidkhai]

Thank you!

[@chanhing93]

You’re in my city. Dam I miss Vietnam

[@naranja1972]
