On passe deux jours à Sapa et on veut faire une journée de trek. J'hésite entre Cat Cat, qui est juste à côté mais dont on dit qu'il est très touristique, et Lao Chai / Ta Van, qui a l'air plus authentique mais aussi plus long. Pour des marcheurs moyens, c'est faisable sans guide ou il vaut mieux en prendre un ? Et niveau difficulté, ça se compare à quoi...
We only have one free day in HCMC and want to see the Mekong Delta. Every tour company pushes My Tho, but I have read that Ben Tre is quieter and more local. The problem is most Ben Tre tours seem to be private and cost a lot more. Is the difference actually noticeable, or are both just the same coconut candy and sampan ride in the end? Has anyone...
Planning a Saturday trip to Trang An from Hanoi and I am slightly worried about the crowds. Do the boats actually sell out on weekends, or is it just a longer queue? We cannot do a weekday, so Saturday it is. Also, can you even book the boat in advance, or do you just show up and buy a ticket at the dock? Our hotel mentioned a private boat option,...
On sera à Sapa début novembre et on veut monter au Fansipan. J'ai vu qu'on pouvait acheter les billets du téléphérique en ligne à l'avance, mais je ne sais pas si ça vaut le coup ou si on peut juste les prendre sur place le jour même. Il y a une grosse différence de prix entre en ligne et au guichet ? Et en novembre, il y a du monde...
Landing in Hanoi next week and trying to figure out the SIM situation. The airport kiosks seem to charge around 300 to 350k for a tourist SIM with data. People keep saying you can get the same thing for 100 to 150k at a Viettel shop in town. Is that actually true, or is it one of those tips from 2019 that does not work anymore? We mostly need data...
Solo backpacker here, doing HCMC to Da Nang and I am weirdly tempted by the train instead of a one hour flight. The Hai Van Pass bit sounds unreal. But seventeen hours is a long time to be romantic about scenery. Is the soft sleeper actually comfortable enough to sleep, or do you arrive destroyed? Would you book the four berth cabin or pay extra for the two berth? Also...
Je suis à Hô Chi Minh-Ville pour quelques jours et je me demande si le marché flottant de Can Tho vaut le détour. J'ai lu des avis très partagés : certains disent que c'est magique au lever du soleil, d'autres que c'est devenu trop touristique. Est-ce qu'il faut y aller en excursion à la journée depuis Hô Chi Minh-Ville, ou c'est mieux de dormir une nuit à Can Tho pour...
We are in Phu Quoc for three days and the cable car to Hon Thom keeps coming up in every conversation. Everyone says go early, but I saw afternoon slots advertised cheaper somewhere. Or is that just the sunset package thing? Main question: if we go around 2 or 3pm, are we stuck in a massive line, or is morning actually worse because that is when all the tour groups...
We will be in Hoi An next week and the night lantern boat ride is on every must-do list. The photos look unreal, all those colored lanterns on the water. But I keep picturing thirty boats crammed together with everyone shouting and taking selfies. For anyone who has done it recently: is it genuinely magical, or is it one of those things that is better in photos? We are traveling...
On a deux jours à Phong Nha et on hésite entre les deux grottes principales. Paradise Cave a l'air immense avec ses stalactites, mais Phong Nha Cave se visite en bateau sur la rivière, ce qui a l'air sympa aussi. Si on ne devait en faire qu'une, laquelle vous conseilleriez ? On aime marcher mais on n'est pas des grands sportifs. Et il faut réserver les billets à l'avance ou...

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
