Everyone posts the lantern photos at night, and sure, it is pretty. But I set an alarm and walked the old town at 6am last week and it was a completely different place. Empty streets, a bit of mist on the river, shop owners hosing down the sidewalks, and the best 15k coffee of my trip from a lady who clearly thought I was lost. By 9 the tour groups...
My doctor basically shrugged when I asked about malaria medication for Vietnam and said it was my call, which was not the reassuring answer I wanted. We are doing the standard loop, Hanoi, Ha Long, Hoi An, HCMC, maybe Phu Quoc, nothing super remote. Is malaria actually a thing tourists worry about here, or is dengue the real concern? I hate taking pills I do not need but I also...
We are doing three weeks in November, Hanoi down to Ho Chi Minh City, and the packing list is doing my head in. It feels like we need two completely different wardrobes. The north sounds genuinely cold by then, especially Sapa. How many warm layers are we talking? Is a proper fleece overkill or essential? And then the south is still hot and humid, so we need summer stuff too....
Wir sind drei Tage in Hoi An und wollen mindestens einen faulen Strandtag einlegen. Jetzt die Frage: An Bang oder Cua Dai? Wo kann man besser schwimmen, wo gibt es Liegen und wo isst man mittags gut direkt am Strand? Wir fahren mit dem Fahrrad, ist das machbar oder lieber Grab nehmen? Ich habe gelesen, dass Cua Dai mit Erosion zu kämpfen hat. Ist das aktuell noch ein Thema oder...
Wir überlegen, Ninh Binh als Tagesausflug von Hanoi zu machen, weil unser Zeitplan ziemlich voll ist. Die Bootstour durch Tam Coc oder Trang An klingt super, aber ich frage mich, ob das an einem Tag nicht zu gehetzt ist. Wie früh muss man los, und ist man abends wieder zurück in Hanoi? Hat das schon mal jemand als Tagestour gemacht? Und lieber Trang An oder Tam Coc, wenn man nur...
Bonjour a tous. Je pars trois semaines au Vietnam en decembre et je me pose une question tres pratique : est ce qu on peut payer par carte un peu partout, ou il faut prevoir beaucoup d especes ? Pour les hotels et les restaurants un peu etablis j imagine que la carte passe. Mais pour la street food, les marches, les petits commerces, les taxis, j ai un doute....
내년 1월에 베트남 여행을 계획하고 있는데 사파도 일정에 넣을까 고민 중입니다. 겨울에 사파에 눈이 온다는 얘기를 들었는데 실제로 볼 확률이 어느 정도인지 궁금해요. 눈이 온다면 당연히 예쁘겠지만, 추위에 트레킹 코스가 막히거나 위험하지는 않은지 걱정됩니다. 1월 사파 기온이 보통 몇 도 정도인지, 옷은 어느 정도 두껍게 챙겨야 하는지 아시는 분 계신가요? 그리고 눈을 목적으로 간다면 며칠 정도 여유를 잡아야 할까요? 운에 맡겨야 하는 거라면 그냥 포기하고 다른 곳으로 가는 게 나을...
I only have one spare day in my Hanoi schedule for Ha Long Bay, so the overnight cruises are out, they are also way more than I want to spend. The day cruises look decent on paper: bus there, 4 to 5 hours on the boat, lunch included, bus back. But I keep hearing that the day trip is the worst version of Ha Long Bay. Rushed, crowded, and you...
I am getting confused by the e-visa application. I want to do two trips: first in November for about two weeks, then come back in January for three weeks. My plan was one 90 day e-visa to cover both. But now I am reading that the 90 day e-visa can be single or multiple entry and I am not sure I clicked the right option. If I applied for single...
I have done both now, about a year apart, and I cannot decide which one actually moved me more. Angkor Wat at 5am with five hundred other people holding their phones up, but when the sun hit the towers it still got me. Ha Long Bay was the opposite, just our little boat, mist on the water, completely silent. Angkor felt grand and historic, Ha Long felt personal. A different...

My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...+2
