Planning 2 days in Phong Nha and I want to rent a scooter to get to Paradise Cave and the botanical garden on my own schedule. My hotel says they can arrange one, but I have read conflicting things about whether foreigners can legally rent without a Vietnamese license. Do the rental shops in Phong Nha actually check for a license, or do they just hand you the keys? I...
Wir sind im Dezember für drei Tage in Sapa und wollen eine zweitägige Trekkingtour mit einer Übernachtung im Homestay machen. Online gibt es jede Menge Angebote, aber die Preise unterscheiden sich stark. Ist es besser, die Tour erst in Sapa vor Ort zu buchen? Sind die Preise dort günstiger, oder ist im Dezember alles ausgebucht? Wir wollen ungern vor Ort feststellen, dass nichts mehr frei ist. Falls jemand einen Anbieter...
Wir überlegen, ob wir die Strecke von Hoi An nach Hue mit einem Easy Rider über den Hai Van Pass fahren statt den Bus zu nehmen. Die Fotos sehen unglaublich aus, aber ich frage mich, ob die Realität auch so gut ist oder ob man am Ende nur im Verkehr hinter LKWs hängt. Wie lange dauert die Fahrt ungefähr und was kostet so etwas? Und nimmt der Fahrer das Gepäck...
All the famous Tam Coc photos show bright green rice paddies along the river, and that is honestly half the reason I want to go. But we are traveling in mid November and I have a feeling those green-field photos are all from spring and summer. Is November a bad time for the scenery there, or is it still pretty? I would rather adjust my expectations now than show up...
Wir fahren Anfang November die Ha Giang Loop mit dem Easy Rider. Ich lese überall, dass es oben in den Bergen schon richtig kalt und neblig sein kann. Jetzt die Frage: dicke Regenjacke einpacken oder reicht eine normale Windjacke über dem Pulli? Wie nass wird man da oben wirklich? Und gibt es unterwegs Möglichkeiten, Regenzeug zu kaufen, falls ich mich verschätze? Platz im Rucksack ist begrenzt.
Packing light for three weeks and planning to do laundry along the way. Our hotel in the Old Quarter quoted 60k per item, which feels steep for a t-shirt. Are the little laundry shops on the street actually good, or do clothes come back smelling weird and half damp? How long does it usually take, same day or next day? And is it priced per kilo or per piece at...
We are in Sapa for 4 nights and I keep seeing the Bac Ha Sunday market recommended as a must do. It is about 3 hours each way by car though, which sounds like a very long day trip just for a market. For people who have been: is it actually that different from the markets in Sapa town, or is it mostly tourists now too? I love the idea...
Need to extend my tourist visa by 30 days and I am in Ho Chi Minh City for another week. Getting quotes all over the place, from 1.2 million to 3.5 million dong, and every agent promises five to seven working days. Who did you actually use, and what did you really pay in the end, not the quote but the final number? Also, did anyone do the Moc Bai...
About to rent a scooter in Da Nang for four days. The shop near our hotel wants to keep my real passport as the deposit, not a copy. I have rented bikes in Thailand and Indonesia before and it was always a copy plus cash, never the actual passport. Is this normal in Da Nang or should I walk away? They also offered a no-deposit option if I pay for...
I keep reading that Con Dao is the quiet, untouched island while Phu Quoc is getting built up fast. The problem is the flight to Con Dao from HCMC costs almost double what the Phu Quoc flight costs, and there are way fewer flights per day. For people who have been to both: is Con Dao really that different, or would I have just as good a time on Phu...

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
