Got it…👍🏼

[@Allagiti]

The Wise debit card is not available in Thailand at this time. I'm on a "wait list."

[@williamtaudien]

I didn't know that it wasn't available in Thailand. I use mine here but because I had it sent to another country initially.

[@everythingjustin512]

I love Vietnam. Esepcially Central Vietnam. For local food try: Banh Mi, Banh Xeo, Bun Bo Hue, and Banh Beo... Food there is really delicious and healthy.

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks!

[@farmerboy8659]

Looks good and not so hectic like Bangkok .Thanks for the credit card tip, Wise .Keep them coming and we will keep on watching , good job , William .

Thank you and thanks for watching

Sugar cane is source of white sugar. They have many fields here in Louisiana.

[@zjisterre]

The first thing I do when I arrive in a hotel room in SE Asia is checking if the aircon is clean inside, which is usually not the case. Somehow they always forget to clean these regularly by professionals, because that's the air we breath in all the time and dirty aircons make people sick. It wouldn't be the first time for you William to get sick of the air from the AC. Just have a look with the phone light to the fan blades inside if you turn the AC open by hand when it's switched off.

[@williamtaudien]

I do the same! It is never clean anywhere in the world almost. Only clean if the hotel was build in th apast 4 years. Older hotels 100% filtyh AC

[@Gedstravels]

Great suggestion, I just checked mine and they were filthy, all nice and clean now.

[@tylerhaugen9401]

Just came back from Thailand a month ago, and headed to Vietnam next month. Stoked to get a peek of what I'm in for with Da Nang.

[@williamtaudien]

Very nice!

[@vy311]

One important thing which foreign tourists to VN should always remember is that there are a lot of scammers in this country. We think you made a big mistake when asking the driver where to go. For most Vietnamese, it is considered very naive to do that. The driver can get a commission (from restaurants) of about 20 to 25% of your bills and that is why he brought you to the expensive and seafood restaurants. The first eatery you went to is a branch one and the main one is in Hanoi where I have eaten once. Local people never go there because it is expensive and the food is not good either. So the advice is that you should do some research on Google Maps about where to eat and what to do before you go, and never believe taxi drivers.

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

Nice

[@000r00t]

alot of scammer? Vy, Are you losing your mind?

[@yycguy8722]

Spend lots of time here William, see Phu Quoc Vietnam 🇻🇳 you will love it there!

[@williamtaudien]

I was there in 2017. Very nice island!

[@fathersweek]

Excellent video. Thanks for showing us this cool location. It was interesting to see regular people using translation apps and I was impressed how many people could speak English in this tourist area. Seems like few people are aware of this gem - especially if you like seafood.

[@williamtaudien]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bsmith6646]

My favourite country. Had such great times there in the past. Cracking place, lovely people, the food is wonderful, top notch 🤙 Barry, London

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks yes very cool country!

[@TheSwede70]

Hoi An and Hue...both great day trips. Wow Da Nang looks like Miami beach now 🙂

[@williamtaudien]

Yes, thank you!

[@MissShareOn]

came to say the same thing. you will enjoy Hoi An!

[@wesgraham2262]

Getting a boarding pass ahead of time to avoid waiting at a line at the counter is great as long as you don’t have any check-on luggage you may have to pay extra for. Only for passengers with a carry-on bag.

[@JuergenS-t6p]

A good tip pointing out lower buildings because of the air conditioning. Of course, the decentralized air conditioning system doesn't have the mold problem either.

[@TheSwede70]

Wow, in 2017 I got only 14 days on arrival (as a swedish citizen). Things are changing for the better. Been 4 times to Vietnam. 2003, 2004, 2011 and 2017. Thinking about moving there.

[@williamtaudien]

Actually me too! Remember when I was there in 2017 and got only 2 weeks

[@troybabs]

Interesting, as a Canadian, I had a 30 days visa in 2004!

[@ojosazules8828]

How can you move there🤔..thought Vietnam only allows tourist visas and visa runs can result in you being prevented from re entering the country.

[@TheSwede70]

@@ojosazules8828 There are obviously expats living in for example Da Nang. A lot more than 10 years ago. Each country is different from the other. Most south east asian countries offer retirement visas. I am not up to date on the exact rules for Vietnam now. I will be when the time comes. Cambodia and the Philippines are the best in terms of visa rules, it has been like that since i started travelling to south east asia in early the 90's

[@jodytoupin1225]

Hoi An is a must see, hope you go there!! I was in Danang way back in 2008 and there was barely any tall buildings around. It sure has changed. Love the workout and pool jumps ;0

[@CumbiaDancer5678]

Try the coconut coffee at Bamboo Bob's. It's so delicious! *Vietnam now allows a 90 day tourist visa. Application is done online & costs about $45 US.

[@williamtaudien]

Yeah If you apply and pay you can get 90. But 45 without paying and doing nothing.

[@worldlydestinations]

Beat Coconut Coffee is a Koi Coffee and Massage. Bamboo Bobs is over rated IMO

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Another great video. I love Phở. I get it at a local restaurant here. Their spring rolls are also really good--both the fried & the raw ones. You've got to try the raw ones if you haven't. Looking forward to the next video.

[@williamtaudien]

Thank you :)

[@tee6394]

Great video as always. I also feel so bad for the way the live seafood is kept. I've eaten a plant based diet for 15 years now, I always felt so sorry for all the animals.

Hello thanks yes will upload a video from there also!

I always wanted to go to Da Nang but I heard it’s a big tourist trap. I always look for quiet places with less crowds, so this looked very nice. How was the mosquito and sandfly situation? Nice to see you meeting new people and discovering new places.😊

[@barrierealestatevid]

Video was still very good William!

[@williamtaudien]

Glad you think so! thanks!

[@RareBoom]

Usually they give u a side plate with Pho of veggies to throw in and hot sauce, also I love raw cane juice it's also very nutritional which you wouldn't think bc it's made from sugar cane

When we were in Bali we found Tiger beer with soju. Very good especially the Punchy Peach flavour 😊

[@user-yy4gf9ji5d]

As an hvac guy, if there is the compressor on the balcony you should be safe from sound( white box with fan on balconny), even if the diffuser is in the ceiling. If you have the compressor in the ceiling thats what makes the noise they are usually connected to a water tower on the roof. Its done for aeathetic purposes because it looks better to not have anything on the balcony but the victims are noise sensitive people like us 😅

[@williamtaudien]

Yeah that is right! Just realized that now when you said it

[@teresad6513]

Hey thanks for the video on Da Nang! Could you tell me what's up with the air quality there right now? I've been watching it on the Wundergound weather app and the air level is 3x worse than anywhere else. It's been like that over a month. The air looks clear there on the video though

William, great VLOGs, Thank you for making me feel "on holiday" every time I watch it!! About WISE: why do you change into local currency in advance? I also use this outstanding card but keep my money in "my home currency" on the wise bank account and let WISE change every time I need it. Do you think that is more expensive?

[@williamtaudien]

I think so because when you withdrawl cash from the ATM and dont have that actual currency on the card, there is a higher exchange rate I believe. But if you add the right currency from the beginning there is no exchange rate. Not sure though
