Okay so I need to tell you about the biggest mistake I made in Hoi An.

Okay so I need to tell you about the biggest mistake I made in Hoi An.I booked a hotel right in the middle of Old Town. Thought I was being genius – “I’ll be close to all the attractions! It’ll be perfect!”The first night was… hell. Really. At 11 PM the Old Town doesn’t go to sleep, it wakes up. Karaoke, motorbikes, vendors shouting – it just doesn’t stop. I slept maybe 3 hours.The next day I moved to a hotel in an area called Cam Chau (10-minute walk from the center) and suddenly everything changed. Quiet, pool, rice fields around, and still close enough to walk to Hoi An when you want.I want to save you this experience 😅 so if you’re planning Hoi An, I wrote something here that breaks down all the different areas: https://www.mydailyjourneys.com/post/where-to-stay-in-hoi-anThanks for reading my rant 🙈

    So, I was in Hoi An as well. I’m not sure what the attraction is there that isn’t so many other places. I’m sure others will tell me other than block after block after row and row of retail stores. No disrespect, just wondering why all the fuss over Hoi An.

    I wear ear plugs every night and always have them with me when travelling, not any ear plugs but these ones that actually work

    Haha the same by my first visit in Da Nang. Near to all tourist places. But a club some meters from the hotel. The Hotel was only on the Pictures Good.
