Landing in Hanoi next month and trying to figure out the money situation. I read that the airport counters give terrible rates, is that still true?
Some people say the gold shops on Ha Trung street give the best rate for USD, others say just use a...
Em được nghỉ 4 ngày cuối tháng 11, đang phân vân giữa Sapa và Hà Giang. Mục tiêu chính là săn mây với ngắm ruộng bậc thang, mà nghe nói tầm đó lúa gặt xong hết rồi, không biết còn đẹp không.
Sapa thì tiện, đi tàu đêm lên là tới, nhưng bạn em bảo g...
Booking a 2-night cruise for mid-December and every blog says the same thing: Lan Ha Bay is the quieter, prettier alternative to Ha Long. But when I look at the prices and the itineraries, they look basically identical. Same kayaking, same cooking cl...

First trip to Vietnam, staying 4 nights in Hanoi in November. I want to be walkable to everything but I've also heard the Old Quarter never sleeps, literally.
Is there a sweet spot? Close enough to wander to Hoan Kiem lake but quiet enough to actu...
