Thanks for watching ✌ Vietnam was an amazing adventure full of ups and downs but overall even with making mistakes I still had a blast! I also learnt from the previous video about another mistake I made, if you want to experience the lush green delta systems then don't go to Can Tho like I did, instead go to Ben Tre which is nearer to Saigon. I apologies if people got upset by that video, it was my mistake and I will come back to Southern Vietnam one day to make up for that mistake and do that area justice! LOTS OF LOVE and THANK YOU for 100K ❤

Though most VNmese might hate it when I'm saying this but Can Tho is the southern capital of...s*x, "royal massaging with...", "barbering with...", "garden chill with...", "karaoke with...", "eating out with...(after)" etc. Pretty much all activities degraded into that stuff & meh at almost everything else, "the industry" is even bigger than that of Saigon. Sad reality though since the place used to be good with food & floating market & lush green gardens.

You can see best foods in many provinces, cities in South of Vietnam, especially in Mekong Delta, but you are too rush to discover it. In the north, you only can see good food in some big cities in Hanoi, Hai Phong... Also, food in many cities in central are very tasty, but you only visit Hoi An, Da nang , what a miss too. In general, you spent too less and rush time to discover Central & Sout Vietnam.

Come visit the North of Vietnam in the coming autumn, winter or spring. It will probably be very different from your past experiences.

Good tips, Paddy. I was in Vietnam in January 2009 for a friend's wedding. Then again in May 2012. Crowds were light and it was great. I think your advice is on point. 👍 The only additional advice I would give is to watch for motorbikes no matter where you walk. Seems like there is no place where they are prohibited, as many ride freely on sidewalks!

@razzinabox Жыл бұрын

I totally agree with the idea to see less and enjoy more Paddy. You can always come back another time especially if this place grabs you. This is my third time back '11,'16'22 ... each time is different and you experience new things. Let's face it .. besides the flights (if you don't luck well) ... the place is very affordable for anyone wanting to do it on a shoe string or if you like a slice of some luxury, it's all here to be had affordably had to one's given budget. Even if you feel like you want it all now .... i been here in my 20's, 30's & 40's .... still has had that great charm all over. Very nice wrap up you did here ... Thanks for keeping us all entertained Paddy. Good luck on your next adventure & new bike! 👍🏾

Nice video with some useful info, but there are a few things I’d like to add as an experienced traveler in Vietnam. Ice, fresh chili peppers, and cold beer can be attained easily in pretty much any part of Vietnam; you just need to know how to ask for these items. A few words in Vietnamese goes a long way! Also, as far as crime goes, yes, you need to be careful about theft and pickpockets, but Vietnam is generally far safer than Thailand and some other Southeast Asian countries. Finally, I disagree completely about the lack of tasty food. Like the things I mentioned above, you just need to be brave and ask locals for their recommendations. Cheers!

I feel like you were physically there and mentally you were done and ready to go back home. I hope some days in the future, you will have more time and give the South a second chance. The South are well known for the food and the hospitality. Too bad you didn’t have enough time to slow down and have time to experience the culture side of the country like you did in Thailand. Can’t wait to virtually go along with you on your next adventure. Btw just be yourself and don’t try to change because of rude comments.

Thanks Paddy for sharing your Vietnam trip with us. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit both countries 🇹🇭 and 🇻🇳 in the past. Vietnam I did from the south to north. I watched every single video for both series. One thing I would like to point out that ever since Ms. P entered in your life the focus of your trips has changed a bit. I guess most of us started watching you as a single guy who was filled with tons of excitement as preparing to visit all provinces in Thailand. As a solo traveler myself I understand that it can get lonely sometimes but especially when a very special someone is waiting for us far away. Last year after Koh Samui and this time after your quick BKK visit your excitement started to shift. You’re getting a lot less patient and a lot more homesick. Last year it happened about six months into your trip this time after a little more than a month. I’m sure it’s extremely difficult to find a balance between your personal life and passion/business. Since I’m in my sixties I know by now that having it all is nearly impossible. The quality of your videos are phenomenal! Wishing you all the best of luck for your future travels.

@Pichyp Жыл бұрын

So you are saying the focus of Paddy’s trip has changed because of me?🤨 I’ve never bothered his solo traveling. In fact what I did is supporting him, looking out for him, being his “safe zone” especially when he has mental breakdown😅 don’t blame him if he gets excited to be in Bkk or see me cause I’d be excited too if I see my loved ones after months of being alone. In terms of traveling, he still has that excitement trust me. But Vietnam is a just a little different from Thailand and as Paddy has been living in Thailand for so long, I assumed it’s not easy to get out of his comfort zone plus he didn’t go home for years .. homesick is totally normal. Maybe the fact of getting less patient is because he’s getting older as well?😂 I agreed with you, it’s difficult to find balance in life. We can’t have it all but we can maintain/prioritize .. sometimes it comes with sacrifice. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the series so far. Have a good one:)

So amazing!! I’m happy the net was positive. Definitely some rough patches there as the difference in traveling Vietnam from Thailand is the same difference between sleeping in a comfortable bed and sleeping on the floor. The beauty of the country and the indescribable nature of the people make up for the difference. I’ve never been in a country for which I lacked exact words of why I would tell anyone to visit and would like to return to (albeit hesitantly). I imagine Vietnam is an acquired taste. But once the adjustment is made, it probably fits like a glove. With regard to the physical beauty and the character of the people that is truly like no other - especially in contrast to its neighbors - Vietnam is…I don’t have the words.

The end of this series reminded me of a Bourdain episode in Italy where he had a tour guide pretending to catch octopus and fish that had been tossed in the water for him. That's an iconic Bourdain moment. There are SO MANY plastic smiles in the travel youtube space. SO many people who show up for a weekend to film and pretend travel is all brunch with Mimosas and colorful fruit and turquoise beaches.

Just to add some additional information: - Warm beer: The culture here is to drink with ice (same for a soft drink). Some people don't like it that way as the taste may be different but it is freaking cold with ice at all times. - The bad experience with Mekong delta: Paddy got the wrong tour obviously. It was the tour on the river market which is crowded and noisy at peak hours. - The food: the number of restaurants in Vietnam is huge wherever you go and even for a local looking for a good dish, I have to search in the area. I would not jump into a random restaurant on the go. Being well-prepared will make your experience better for any trip. Peace!

Stop bothering Paddy Doyle! Everything he said is true, I agree with him. Nice hearing everyone opinions, advices and complements. I will visit Vietnam, fall, winter or spring, summer students and parents are having a good time. Start from the south to the north. Hot pepper in the middle of Vietnam and main cities, Ask for ice, a cup for your beers, carry with you what you, and do not be in hurry while traveling in Vietnam, do not trust motorbikes drivers just be careful, have driver license, medical and accidental insurance. Make sure is not cold or have a jacket or cold gear in cold cities or places. Take plenty money with you, because you will enjoy your trip. Now have fun!

Thanks for sharing the whole trip! It was very helpful! My wife is Vietnamese but haven’t travelled much within Vietnam itself so we travelled a lot after we got together. Have been to Saigon, Hoi An, Da Nang, Da Lat, and Phong Nha (+ Ba Don, Quang Binh which was her hometown). Going to Sapa next month! I definitely agree with all 9 points, especially the Stolen Goods, Food, & Trying to see it all parts. Luckily I’ve been warned by my wife on Stolen Goods & Scams and was lucky to have her bring me to great food spots. The trying to see it all part too because I felt like you missed some great parts of Da Lat (mainly the Night Market) Again great videos that I was lucky to chance upon and I look forward to watching your videos on other countries!

After I've left cafe a few minutes then it's gone. In Thailand, you can get cold beer everywhere even in a small island or on the mountain. Thai people also drink beer with ice but the seller always put them in the fridge or in the ice container.

I spent 2 months on a motorbike tour of Italy last year and got caught up in this. I've travelled pretty extensively, and went into that trip expecting to find a place to chill for a while. The first half of the trip was a little rushed due to unexpected social obligations. The second half, I found myself rushing again even though I was now solo. Everywhere I went, people would tell me their favorite places that I had to go while I had a motorbike. Plus, I was paying 50EUR per day for it, so I felt an urge to use it even on the days I slept in the same hotel. It can be hard to have the "do more in fewer places" mindset when you meet people every day telling you about the amazing things just that much farther.

It is not a mistake not to be able to get cold beer or to get uninteresting food in a country except the doubtful mistake of choosing that country. Besides cold beer can be found in several restaurants and shops medium and even small sized towns in remote areas (nov. 2022). Food quality varies a lot in both Vietnam and Thailand. For saltiness and spicyness in most SE-Asian countries you often have to stand out with bowls of chillie sauce and soy sauce. That expectations are not met when you go to a country do not have to be mistakes.

I spent 3 months travelling from north to south back in 1993 in my 20s when Vietnam had only just opened up to individual travel, so as a European I was something of a novelty. There was very little tourism infrastructure but for me it made it a more enjoyable experience. The biggest mistake I made? Ice in a drink in Hue. A week of dysentery. However, I received excellent, if basic, medical treatment from a local doctor and his family, who kept me hydrated and then fed me with rice and bananas.

And had you given each city a little more time, you will see 24hrs convenient stores are everywhere under so many names not just 24/11 ....
