Flying into Noi Bai next week, landing around 9pm. It's me and my partner with two big backpacks, first time in Vietnam. I've read all the taxi scam stories and honestly I'd rather just Grab it and not think. Roughly how much should the Grab ride to the Old Quarter cost at that hour? And is the pickup point at Noi Bai easy to find? Any other late-night arrival tips...
Okay so I keep reading that cao lau is the one dish you can only get properly in Hoi An, something about the noodles being made with water from one specific well. Sounds like marketing but I am curious enough to try it properly. I will be in Hoi An for three nights next month. Which spot do people actually rate for cao lau? Not looking for the fanciest place,...
We have 3 full days in Ho Chi Minh City and want to spend one of them in the Mekong Delta. The problem is every tour listing looks identical: boat ride, coconut candy factory, honey tea, lunch, back by 5pm.Is there actually a difference between the Ben Tre tours and the My Tho ones, or is it the same conveyor belt with a different starting point? Can Tho sounds nicer...
Landing in Hanoi next month and trying to figure out the money situation. I read that the airport counters give terrible rates, is that still true? Some people say the gold shops on Ha Trung street give the best rate for USD, others say just use a bank. We are a retired couple traveling for 3 weeks so even a small difference adds up. Also, is it better to bring...
Em được nghỉ 4 ngày cuối tháng 11, đang phân vân giữa Sapa và Hà Giang. Mục tiêu chính là săn mây với ngắm ruộng bậc thang, mà nghe nói tầm đó lúa gặt xong hết rồi, không biết còn đẹp không. Sapa thì tiện, đi tàu đêm lên là tới, nhưng bạn em bảo giờ đông lắm, toàn khách tour, đi đâu cũng xếp hàng chụp ảnh. Hà Giang...
Booking a 2-night cruise for mid-December and every blog says the same thing: Lan Ha Bay is the quieter, prettier alternative to Ha Long. But when I look at the prices and the itineraries, they look basically identical. Same kayaking, same cooking class, same sunset deck. Has anyone done both recently? Is Lan Ha genuinely less crowded, or is that just what the Lan Ha cruise companies want us to...
Only have 2 full days in Ho Chi Minh City and trying to fit Cu Chi in without rushing everything else. Is the half day tour enough or does it feel cut short? The full day one adds the Mekong apparently, which sounds like a lot for one day. Anyone done both? Would love to hear which you'd pick with limited time.
Trying to squeeze Ninh Binh into my Vietnam route without blowing the budget. I have 2 full days and I am staying in hostels, eating street food, the usual backpacker setup. From what I can tell the big costs are Trang An boat ride and maybe renting a motorbike for a day. Is it doable to see the highlights in 2 days using just a bicycle? I am a decent...
다음 달에 베트남 처음 가는데, 어떤 후기에서는 체크인할 때 여권을 맡겼다는 얘기가 있고 어떤 곳은 사본만 봤다고 해서 헷갈려요. 호이안하고 다낭 호텔 예약했는데, 여권 원본을 맡기는 게 보통인가요? 사본을 미리 준비해 가면 원본은 안 맡겨도 되는지 궁금해요. 분실이 걱정돼서요.
Landing in Ho Chi Minh City next week for three weeks (HCMC, Da Lat, Hoi An, Hanoi) with my wife and two kids. Hotels are all booked and paid by card, but I have no idea what daily life runs on over there. Is it mostly cash for street food, taxis, small shops? Which ATMs charge the least? Someone told me to bring USD as backup, is that actually useful...

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
