Vietnam Motorbike route advice from a local

Tigit Thy runs through her extensive experience driving motorbikes in Vietnam.
Please note: English is a second language, and although she has traveled Vietnam a lot. Some areas she has not traveled.
Thank you Thy for sharing so much information about Vietnam!

[@11BravoJake]

Great advice! This is a bucket list trip for me. I was researching motorcycle rentals earlier and Tigit was the company I had decided I wanted to use, It's awesome that I stumbled on this video

[@username6265]

I will fly in 7 days to your beautiful country, this video was very helpful! Thank you!

[@nicolashallalel2344]

Great video, it's nice to get a locals' opinion on this route, thanks Thy. Any chance we can have access to this updated map? It looks like there are some "liked" areas around Phan Thiet, would love to check them out :)

[@1122redbird]

Great video from a local lady, she really explains well! I've been researching taking a motorbike trip in VN and will be looking at this company for a tour. Great job.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Thank you

[@thomashinshelwood659]

Recommend tigit great service

[@razzinabox]

Have used Tigit both times been on a road trip ... Thy sorted me out in Ho Chi Minh for my trip on a XR150 to Hanoi. She's cool & knows her stuff very well. Highly recommend Tigit all the way.

[@thynguyen374]

Awwww thank you for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed the trip in Vietnam

[@Hammerz0738]

Steering us in the right direction Great info & Great advice from this Charming Lady Biker Thx Thy

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Thanks

[@swampmarshy]

A great video, with a wealth of information.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

thank you.

[@MrTonyhague]

Great video, thank you. I'm surprised at how little time is needed to travel and enjoy HCM to Hanoi, we're hoping for a month in Vietnam so would be left with a decent amount of time to enjoy and tour the North, initially we were thinking of spending it all in the North.

[@thynguyen374]

Any loop in the North will take you around 6 days so a month will be enough to do hcm-hanoi and then the north :)

[@redladderconstruction250]

This company will take great care of you.

[@eiffilekuo6111]

[@Bilaj75]

This is such a helpful video thanks a lot!!

[@simonhantler8062]

THY youre a natural on camera

[@toddhildebrand]

Thank u Thy! Excellent video! I really appreciate you mentioning things you feel are over rated! A friend and I will be flying into HCMC in February and riding dual sports up to Hanoi/Ca't Ba' taking the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Are there enough gas stations not to have to have extra fuel tanks? Please do more videos like this.....maybe your own KZbin channel! Thanx, Todd ~See you in the jungle!~

[@thynguyen374]

Thank youuu. Glad you enjoyed it You can find gas station nearly everwhere on the way so no need to bring extra gas bottle :)

[@toddhildebrand]

@@thynguyen374 Thanx Thy!

[@toddhildebrand]

What about places to spend the night/accommodations? Thanx

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Loads of accommodation in Vietnam. Does not need much planning.

[@thomashinshelwood659]

Took me 3.5 weeks

[@Turquoise_Yachting_Club]

How often did you stop and for how long? I'm wondering because I'm going to ride from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh but I only have two weeks.

[@MorkoshTours]

Great video Thank you! Does Vietnam allow riders with a car License type: B to drive a bike 175cc Max? And what about an international license a compulsory as well?

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Have a read of this article www.tigitmotorbikes.com/international-drivers-license/

[@thomashinshelwood659]

A must is stop in ninh binh

[@AKSaiga1982]

I plan on renting from you guys in Feb and I was wondering if you guys had printed laminated maps with details and road options. Thank you.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

We give a paper map, but you can't navigate off it. You are best off downloading the maps onto the phone, which I explain in a different video.

[@user-zu4ww9vn3u]

What is the best time to do this trip? I liked your video, super practical for someone who is planning to do it.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

October

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I'd love to ride up that coast road. I live in northern Thailand.

[@thynguyen374]

Then what are you waiting for. Book a bike and do it 🤣

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

@@thynguyen374 Good point, Thy!

[@redladderconstruction250]

We followed the coast line in September 20-October 3 2022, stopped in DaNang and had bikes checked. The trip was awesome! Tigit’s staff are over the top when it comes to helping you out.

[@thetrailwaychildren]

Thank you 😊 Would it be possible to ride feom hcmc to hanoi using interesting roads with some off road in under 2 weeks?

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

not really no, two weeks is for road only

[@marinddaaa]

Hi , thank you for great information, I'm planning 2 weeks in Vietnam but by car , any chance you can recommend rental companies? Many thanks

[@lightgearwire]

Are the printed maps available when renting at the shop (hanoi) ?

great advice. i just sent you guys an email. wanting to rent a bike for a month. kiwi

[@brianstephen2581]

do you know which border i can cross with a bike from Vietnam to Laos?

[@AlessandroMIX55]

Is it possible to bring my Chinese bike inside Vietnam? I am Italian and I am planning to go first in Laos and then from Laos get inside Vietnam and go back to China, but it’s difficult to find informations about go inside Vietnam with a China registered motorcycle 😢

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

I think it is impossible

[@AlessandroMIX55]

@@Tigitmotorbikes thanks for you reply

[@mebesaturday]

hello Thy, I am thinking about buying the XR150 but I'm concerned my wife (vietnamese) won't be able to learn to drive the XR because it's too tall. I saw you in the video driving it without a problem. has it been lowered for you? I appreciate your response

[@thynguyen374]

Hi there, I’m Thy. The bikes i drove in the video were not lowered. I’m 1m58 and on an XR i reach with the tip of my toe and on crf150 i also tip toe but i have to slide left and right 😂 Your wife can drive the XR no problem if she wants to practise.

[@thomashinshelwood659]

Next trip inland

[@thynguyen374]

[@justwatchai]

Which route you would recommend to avoid police? (South to North)

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

If you are riding Vietnam trying to avoid police then you have the wrong idea. The police are fine here. Follow this video for route kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ68Z6WYrrNlj9E

[@phan1182]

Do you have an office in Nha Trang or Quy Nhon?

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

No we don't sorry.
