Hi everyone, my wife and I are planning a two-night stay in the Ninh Binh area, but I'm quite lost as to where we should book our accommodation. Based on our research, staying within walking distance of Tam Coc seems like the best choice. We are hoping for a serene and picturesque homestay or boutique hotel, ideally located close enough to walk to the village for meals. Nevertheless, I've encountered...

Save We are seeking advice from the seasoned travelers here on selecting one of the hotels listed below for our three-night stay in mid-March. We are two pairs of adults, all in our late sixties. As this is our debut visit to HCMC, we wish to choose one of these properties based on its location and proximity to key sights and activities. Your help is greatly appreciated.

My spouse and I, in our late 50s, are keen to experience the Ha Giang loop on a motorcycle tour. However, most of the guides and YouTube videos online suggest that it caters mostly to younger backpackers. We have definitely moved past the stage of overcrowded buses and shared dormitory rooms, so we are looking specifically for private-room lodging and truly VIP transportation from Hanoi to Ha Giang. Is this...

Hello, I intend to book a flight landing in Hanoi between 6:20 and 6:40 am, which means I should arrive at my Old Quarter hotel around 8:30 am. I understand that the standard check-in time at most hotels in Vietnam is 2:00 pm. What are the best ways to occupy my time during this gap? Do hotels typically permit an early check-in? If so, what is the approximate fee, usually...

Hello everyone I am searching for a reasonably priced Mekong river cruise and would really appreciate suggestions and reviews from fellow travellers who have previously done the trip. All guidance would be incredibly valuable. Thank you in advance.
Hello everyone. We are planning to dedicate some time to Ho Chi Minh City this coming August before heading over to Cambodia. I have been considering a minimum stay of five nights in Vietnam: 2 or 3 nights in Ho Chi Minh City and 1 or 2 nights exploring the Mekong Delta. Are there any other destinations you would suggest, and do you feel that 2 or 3 full days...

Hello, I’m applying for a Vietnam tourist e-visa, but it’s repeatedly sent back for amendments with the note: "Please provide the correct address of your accommodation and a contact phone number in Vietnam." This has happened countless times, dragging on for over a month now. I’ve submitted the complete hotel name, full hotel address, and my personal phone number with the international code. Full hotel name + address + left...

I contacted a few different cruise operators, and some informed me that if the transportation they arrange is delayed by traffic, guests might either miss the cruise entirely or have to pay approximately $100 for a special tender to catch up. Conversely, others are asserting that the transfer is fully guaranteed and their ship's tender will wait for their scheduled vehicles. Given that I've observed most cruises share a very...
I previously watched a documentary about a bladesmith in the area who creates custom knives, reportedly utilizing leftover materials from the war. Does anyone know the identity of this person and their workshop location? Alternatively, I would be very grateful for any other suggestions on where to commission a quality chef's/cooking knife.

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
