Hey everyone, I'm new to Vietnam and currently in Hanoi. The street vendors are super friendly, but I feel like I'm constantly being approached to buy things. I don't want to be disrespectful, but sometimes I just want to walk around without feeling pressured. Is it okay to just politely say 'no' and keep walking, or is there a better way to handle it? Any advice is appreciated! I feel...
We will be visiting Ho Chi Minh City in October and are hoping to book a boat trip on the Mekong River. My husband has some difficulty with movement (relying on a cane) and poor flexibility, so we are seeking a tour that incorporates a slightly bigger vessel for a portion of the journey. Regrettably, I doubt he would manage the grotto section of any tour. Ideally, we are looking...

Hey everyone, I'm planning my first trip to Vietnam in November. I want to do more than just see the sights; I really want to understand the culture. Any tips on how to do that? Maybe some local workshops, community events, or even just some good books to read before I go? Thanks a lot!
Looking to book a 2 to 3 week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in 2026Hobby is 71 and is reluctant to go on a self organised tour. His preference is for a completely organised tour. We recognise this will be more expensive but it means less worry about logistics. We’ve looked at Mercury Direct and have used them before to travel to Sri Lanka and were pleased on that occasion....

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
