10 Things You Should Know Before Traveling to Vietnam

[@phucmapvlog]

That's one of my favorite things about traveling in Vietnam, cheap(er) accommodation. I don't think I've ever spent more than $40/night on a hotel here (usually in the $10-$15 range)

[@sutannguyen8599]

Hi PM Vlog same my 10 years ago I stayed in hotel 3 star 🌟 ⭐⭐only 10 dollar so cheap for Me..Happy new year to you Phúc Mập (béo) hope you always enjoy In Vietnam and always happy too

[@exhaustshorts378]

Hi i have a question about vietnam that which city is best for night life please tell

[@viethoangnb88]

For nightlife, in my opinion, I prefer Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city.

[@exhaustshorts378]

@@viethoangnb88 thanks

[@geraldhogan1980]

Can you please give me an idea on how big a backpack should be...thanks

[@hml808]

I’ve been to Vietnam many times, and I love the country. I have to say that you put a very nice objective video together, you did a really good job without coming across as a ‘know it all”, as you see it in many other travel blogs, especially US based. I think a lot of people will appreciate your videos.

[@michellerubin3778]

Have you been end of May/early June? What was the weather like in Northern Vietnam then?

[@rhiyarhaya3820]

I’m from Philippines currently working in UAE…. I intend to visit Ho Chi Minh this December before spending Christmas to my home country… thank for the tips, big help! Keep doing what your doing! Blessings to you and your family!

[@nightblooming7132]

I really love the way you spread Vietnamese culture to friends all over the world, chị Vân. Hope there will be more tourists paying our country a visit to feel the beauty of landscapes and the people here. I have learned a tons of vocabulary through your clips and still keep doing that=)))

[@dennisgellert1742]

Another component of travelling Vietnam are bus tours. There are many and are generally excellent. Anything from one day to multi days, you can find bus tours that take you to pretty much anywhere you thought of. And then some. Generally they are with a tour guide who helps with information along the way. (disclaimer - pre covid experience)

[@WhatThePho]

Exactly!!!

[@kippsguitar6539]

Often with terrifying drivers

[@helene7672]

Can you please provide links the tour companies thanks

Thank you for this very informative video. I was a soldier based in Nha Trang during the war and am returning in January thru February 2023. I learned a lot from you! 💐

These presentations are much appreciated... I'm enjoying their professional quality... they're informative, educational, entertaining & offered with such a good perspective. It's comforting to have resources like this to become acquainted with accessibility and various, conditions... thanks for sharing, enjoy

[@dmitryl.x.4687]

It would be great if you give some advises about language learning and of course 10 necessary phrases. Thanks for your channel, I like it 🙂

[@preston74]

Equally important is money conversions!

[@vannsmiley2462]

Knowing simple phrases would be a big help

[@zaq8205]

Which tip ? Everything everything and everything.. this is the first video the one has to see before planning a trip to Vietnam .. you are amazing. Thanks a ton . You helped me a lot .......

[@jimmybrooks1059]

Van, thank you very much for this video. While I had to learn off the cuff when I lived in China and during my stays in the Philippines, I had some help from friends to make my time more pleasant. I found the video amazing. I had Kidney cancer and within a year I needed a heart valve replacement and had to have teeth removed due to possible complications, so the medical part really helped. I'm doing great now. I was able to go back to China but Covid broke the next month after I returned and I had to come back home to America. I miss Asia and would love to go back to live. Anywho, thank you again for your hard work, pleasant attitude, and informative videos. 👍✌️❤️🤟😊☕

[@adifferentkennybaker]

I went to a hospital in Saigon - the Tam Anh Hospital near the airport. I found the care to be excellent. And not expensive. I think I paid under $200 for three visits, scans, and prescriptions.

[@VuPhanLam]

Thanks Vân for guiding me to visit Vietnam the first time after almost 50 years living in US!

[@fredoberg4064]

Very concise overview, thank you for creating and sharing this!

Another tips for menstruators, tampons are hard to find in Vietnam, although big supermarkets or shopping centers have them, there're mostly non-applicator ones. There's one brand called Sofy that has the applicator ones but there's only Super available, so, if you're gonna travel to Vietnam and have to be specific with the brand ur using, make sure to bring your own!

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

[@apolloobserved]

EVERYTHING she says is correct about Vietnam. I'm an American and have fallen in love with Vietnam and met my Fiance there. It's about $1400 from the west coast of the USA but once we get there (about 18 hr flight) our currency crushes it. A cup of regular starbucks coffee in Vietnam is .80! I stayed in a luxury resort in Nha Trang (marble foyer, brand new, 8 elevators-you get the picture) in June 2023. It was only $50 a night!. Easily would have been $300 in the USA. FLY AROUND in Vietnam. Do not use buses or train. I do disagree with her renting a scooter-DO NOT DO THAT. Traffic is crazy. You don't know the rules. NEVER step back in traffic. ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD when crossing the street! GOT IT? ;) btw I was in Ha Long Bay (take the boat tours!) Ha Noi (see old French quarter), Da Nang (Hoi An), Nha Trang, Saigon and did a Mekong delta cruise. Younger people there speak English. Older people mid 50s and up might know some limited French. As foreigners don't try to speak Vietnamese it's difficult. Americans they like us there. Don't worry they have moved passed the war a long time ago and want to know us. Not just for money they honestly like the USA.

[@johnanderson363]

Great video Van! Beautifully presented, visually & informatively. I love your images of Hue City that I easily recognize & ladies wearing ao dai with non la (accents missing, lol).

Hi chi Van, how do you think about starting a podcast series? It would be great to easily listen to and learn Vietnamese culture anytime, anywhere through your podcast. Plus, it would be an ideal channel for those studying English and want to improve both their listening skill and their cultural knowledge.

Thanks for the great video! I wait to come back to Vietnam to my girlfriend and daughter for 2 years now. 😭 I read news about reopening every day, but still no official statement about visa being accepted again. I have 5 year visa exemption, but it is not accepted since Vietnam shut down is March 2020. I will check out the websites you provided about eVisa. I'm from Germany and the Embassy in Berlin does not know anything about when we will be able to get visa. 😔 Apparently flights are open from Bangkok, Thailand, but the problem is still no communication about visa.

about the stupid Covid-19 In the North of VietNam ( Ha Noi, Da Nang, …) everthing are getting worse but it will be better soon. In the South ( Sai Gon, Da Lat , …) are better.
