I’m visiting Vietnam in early March (Saigon) for the first time , and I have watched a TON of peoples travel videos, and this was by far the best one. Thank you for actually narrating and giving information! I’ve come across so many videos, where people just walk around the city with no narration, a waste of time in my opinion Your video incredibly informative and put together so well. Thank you very much and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

You did a great job recapping your trip last year, Mandy. Next time, you should visit Da Lat, Ninh Binh, Phu Quoc (the waterpark "Chase and Shelbs" showed looked so cool!) and do the Ha Giang Loop (although technically you and guys would be doing it illegally as the US, Canada, and Australia didn't sign the 1968 Vienna Convention...but that's not stopped people from riding the loop and many have said it's the best thing they did in Vietnam or even in their life.)

Excellent presentation guys, four of us head off on Thursday for 23 days and like yourself we are starting our journey in the south. We decided to start at Phu Quoc island for an initial bit of R&R staying for four nights staying at the Poplar resort costing a whopping £142 for two decent rooms😊 then onto Ho Chi Mihn city, after that overnight train to NRA Trang, then overnight train to Da Nang both 4 berth sleepers, from there to Phong Na for the caves, finally to Hanoi to take in luxury Halong Bay cruise and a few days in Hanoi before flying home. It was comforting as well as informative watching your well put together piece, and as a beer drinker I cannot wait. Keep up the good work and I will look forward to you guys for other inspiration and recommendations in the future. Good Luck Frank xx

How did you book train ticket there in Vietnam. And also are you taking any domestic flights there or traveling through buses and trains around. Please do share me your travel itinerary and travel action plans if possible. Thanks in advance

@fogrady1 4 ай бұрын

Hi, We took internal flight from Hanoi, pretty much directly from landing in Hanoi, so effectively getting the flying done early. We decided to go to Phú Quoc first to recover from long flights from London. The flew to Ho Chi Minh, we booked both these internal flights online via Vietnam Jet website. We decided that enough flying was completed until our return to London, so have looked at overnight trains with cabin for sleeping, so this made good use of our daytime adventures, both our trains were booked again online prior to arriving in Vietnam, but these can just be arranged online anytime, there are plenty of options and at this time of year being post new year celebrations there should be enough availability. Buses are another option and slightly cheaper, but people we have spoken to since arriving have validated our option for night trains. Good luck with your planning.

I would like to travel to Vietnam and stay for 2 and 1/2 months. I feel unsure as to how the visa extension works, or if it really exists, as I can't seem to find any solid information on it. You said that you could extend your visa once you have arrived in Vietnam for up to three months. Is that something both of you did? If not did you know people that extended their visa after their 30 days were up? I can't book my flights until I know how long I can stay in the country. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not writing this to hate; just some feedback; I have nothing against you Mandy and am sure you are a sweet person with good intentions, but I am just standing up for Asians, especially Asian Americans. To me it felt tacky to portray that you are an expert in traveling to Vietnam, to me it should be left to Vietnamese people to explain. I never was offended by “cultural appropriation” and didn’t stand for the weird “stop Asian hate movement”, but the title and thumbnail did make me feel weird. Also I am not saying I want you to change bc clearly a lot of people liked your video which is great that it has a positive impact on some people

These travel bloggers always hype up how 'amazing' everything is in these countries, but honestly the food in VN is mostly pretty gross, bones, cartilage etc and the tourist sites underwhelming. VN has the lowest return visitor numbers in Asia, because they have no clue how to cater to tourists.
