Hoi An, Vietnam "Getting To Know The "Old Town" is a condensed video that guides you through some of the ancient town's top sites to see along with things to do. If you want the long version of what Hoi An has to offer watch "Hoi An Travel Vlog" Best Of Vietnam 2022,
• Hoi An Travel Vlog: Th... . I truly do love Hoi An. It's loaded with historical gems, interesting streets and alleys and absolutely wonderful people. The "Old Town" is such an easy place to get around with pedestrian-friendly streets and lots of places to stop for a break and a refreshment. Most hotels are located outside of the Old Town so I'd suggest getting a cab to the Hoi An Market and from there everything is within walking distance. Spend the day in the Old Town and at night in An Hoi for different streets to enjoy that are loaded with lanterns steps away from the Hoi An NIght Market.

I love Hoi An! I don’t know if it’s true but the story is that during the Vietnam War - or the American War as the Vietnamese call it - there was a tacit agreement between all sides to leave the place alone due to the historical importance of the town.

@iamjohnsaboe Жыл бұрын

It’s possible. There were other places In Vietnam that were supposed to be left alone.

Heck, I'd by two instead. Upkeep of old buildings isn't exactly on top of the list of 'things that needs to be done' by the local committees in Vietnam, so it deserves to be encouraged. As usual a top notch video John

September isn't the best time to visit Hoi An and VN in general , because it's the monsoon season . That beautiful tiny town might get flooded by the Thu Bon river and its tributary Hoai river . You should go there on the dry season , from December to April . The weather is much nicer then and there is no risk of floods or storms

Hmmm...interesting that you love Hoi An. I have been watching several videos lately. We have not been there in years, and based on those more current videos, it seems SO crowded and touristy. You seem to have found a way to get beneath that, as usual. Still, I am not sure we can do that successfully. But thank you for helping us rethink it. 😊

@iamjohnsaboe Жыл бұрын

It’s not for everyone and I am very honest about the fact that this is a busy and crowded tourist spot at times. However now would be the time to visit if you’re considering it as there aren’t as many people traveling in Southeast Asia compared with pre pandemic numbers.

Great video! The more and more I watch your videos, they more I want to make my way to Vietnam. I know people hate visa questions, but maybe you can do a video on visa’s? I’ve only seen where you can get 30 days at a time and have to leave and come back. Thanks for all the great information.

@iamjohnsaboe Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much! I’ll do something on visas in the future however at the moment for most people entering Vietnam there is only a 30 day evisa available at the moment and yes you would have to exit the country and reenter with a new visa.

What sucks so much is you can't get Cao Lau once you leave Vietnam. So make sure you have as many dishes of Cao Lau as you can whilst there. Ooo man i miss this thick noodles, juicy pork and the brown sauce. Best one is opposite the bridge behind where they do the traditional lottery singing thing. God bless

Good day John, Hope you are well. Hectic living at the moment but finally got to watch your video. Quality video as I come to expect. Do you need to do the Visa run every month to Cambodia because unless I marry a Vietnamese girl I can’t stay longer than 30 days in Vietnam. Merry Christmas & all the best wishes for the New Year.
