Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I hope you have a blast man! Be safe out there. ✌🏼

So I sold mine in Laos, so I didn’t personally cross back into Vietnam, but I’ve heard it’s no problem from other travelers.

Yeah I’m sure they have them, but not as common as the bigger ones. It would work though.

Thank you son much for the update. I’m happy this is still possible! Enjoy your travels.

What type of passport did you have?

Happy to hear it’s still possible! Enjoy it man!

Will you be able to take out the motorbike back to vietnam later on?

@user-nz8cg5kg3p You need to get the laos-visa ahead, no visa on arrival possible there! I got mine in hanoi for 1050000 dong. Got it in 4h, you need a passport-photo. I crossee with a vietnamese-plated-bike, no questions asked at all. They did not even asked for the bluecard. As far as i know you can easily enter vietnam again at any borderpoint with a vietnamese-plated-bike. There is a lady at the boarder-crossingpoint changing your dongs to laos-kip and selling simcards for 4$. Do that, you not gonna find a simcard for a few hours driving. Got 15gb and 15 min for 30days for 100k-kip.

Happy to hear you were prepared for the tourist tax lol. Hope you enjoyed the skywalk!

I like Indian food lol. I like Vietnamese food as well, but as I was there for 3 months sometimes I like to switch it up 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

Yes, indeed there are 2 stops through this checkpoint and the second one is not as obvious as the first but it’s the crucial one to get the stamp.

Enjoy it man! There’s a ton of good things about it, but imo not the best place in Vietnam. Still worth a visit though!

I did not register my drone.

@@straywithgray24 I am considering as well to bring my drone to Thailand / Laos / Vietnam but I heard that it must be registered or you might end up in prison :o

@@lucas4019 I flew my drone in all of those countries without registering it. I had a DJI mini 2, so it was small and discreet. As discreet as a drone can be anyways lol. If you practice some common courtesy like not flying in cities, near temples or religious sites, you should be fine.

@@straywithgray24 I have the same drone and i am aware of where to not fly etc etc. I was wandering about the registration and if there are problems

I had a 110cc Honda Wave. It was a BEAST!! I loved that bike, and it had plenty of power to make it through the mountains. Enjoy!

Well you could always join a tour like Jasmine. You go with a group of other riders and you can even just ride on the back if you want. Sounds like a great way to see your beautiful country!

Hey thanks for your comment. I do have an international license myself. I can say that in my 3 months on a motorbike in Vietnam I wasn’t stopped, nor did I see a police checkpoint. When I was on the loop, I would come in and out of town either very early or very late. Maybe, it was before the checkpoints were setup for the day… I also carried a separate wallet with about 200k in case I would get stopped. Hope that helps, and enjoy it!

Was it easy to fill out the motorcyle import documentation? We applied using the website but then there was just a lot of errors and it wouldn't let us proceed..

My pleasure! Enjoy the ride! 🤙🏼

Yeah it is what it is I guess. These things happen and ultimately it was for the best. Vietnam was indeed, the perfect place for me to unwind and recenter myself after such a life change. Thank you for watching and I appreciate you reaching out in the comments. I hope you have a wonderful day! ✌🏼

Thank you so much for the comment. Vietnam is a country I’ll never forget!

Hey! Yeah I was wearing a super thick down jacket, insulated pants, and gloves the whole time in Ha Giang. I was there in the end of December, so well into the cold season. I would say leave your winter clothes at home for October. October is supposed to be the best month to see Ha Giang bcs of the rice fields turning gold. If you do end up needing warm clothes, Hanoi has plenty of super affordable and “decent” quality stuff. The whole outfit I described to you was $150 total. Hope this answers your question, and enjoy the ride! ✌🏼

@@straywithgray24 thanks!

I don’t believe that to be accurate as I saw many locals riding the very same trail. Thank you for watching regardless. ✌🏼

It certainly wasn’t my favorite place in Vietnam, but I did enjoy my time at Mount Fancipan.

Thanks man!

Haha thank you so much for the concerns. I made it through unscathed!

Thank you so much! I did not personally do it, as I sold the bike in Laos. However, I've heard that its not a problem as long as you have the proper documentation. Good luck and enjoy the ride!

It was incredible to witness in real life! The footage doesn’t even do it justice. I will definitely be back someday!

Thank you so much for more kind words!

I went in December and had perfect visibility, but they say October is the best time to go bcs the rice fields are all golden color.

Ha thank you! It was fun to imagine it!

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m not familiar with either of those, but I loved my wave. It was perfect for me.

Thank you so much!

I agree! It was such an amazing adventure and I hope it inspires others to visit.

Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m happy you got to enjoy it as much as I did!

Thank you so much! You have a wonderful country.

Thank you so much! I miss it everyday!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

It’s an incredible country!

I agree completely. The Ha Giang Loop is a natural and untamed beauty. She’s wild and deserves to freedom to grow wild. May she never be tamed! ✌🏼

Thank you so much! I look forward to sharing all of my adventures from Vietnam!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that and I greatly enjoyed your country 🇻🇳

Life is meant to be enjoyed with delicious foods!

​@@straywithgray24There were some Vietnamese who betrayed their homeland during the war, and when the war ended, they left the country to live abroad. They harbor hatred toward Vietnam and constantly spread propaganda to defame the nation. Their descendants are influenced by these views and always think negatively about Vietnam. Therefore, if you want to know what Vietnam is truly like, you must experience it in person. The things they say are lies because they have not lived in Vietnam for decades after the war and only know about it through the news and media. Wishing you joy during your visit to Vietnam, and we hope you return.

I know I griped about them in the video, but honestly whatever gets you out there. Ha Giang Loop is a can’t miss!! One of the best experiences of my life. I hope you find the same.

If you don't want to commit to a full loop you could always do the Hai Van Pass. It's a day trip. I'd recommend not using the cheap motorbike companies because many of them will give you a terrible scooter and a $2 helmet. I recommend Tigit. I rented from them and did a trip HCM-Hanoi over three weeks. Headed back to do it all again in a few months.

@@CptFarlow Nice man! I personally thought the Hai Van Pass was overrated. It was too short and crowded. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s still amazing, but I think there are better options in Vietnam. I personally found the drive between Mui Ne and Quy Nhon to be the best COASTAL driving. ✌🏼

@straywithgray24 I still think the Ho Chi Minh road was the best driving in the entire country, but we hit the coast in Phan Rang and went north from there and boy it did not disappoint. We did not get to do the Hà Giang loop last time and I might skip it. I wouldn't get there until December at the earliest and it'll likely be chilly. I think instead I'll really take my time going from HCM-Hanoi. Great video, btw. I know what you mean about wanting to live there. I fell in love. The sector I work in is expected to expand there a lot in the next few years so I'm thinking about moving there to study the language either next year or the year after. Fingers crossed it all works out.

@@CptFarlowThat’s awesome man! I did the exact same thing, hit the coast in Phan Rang and went north from there. I agree that the Ho Chi Minh Trail is *some* of the best driving in the country. The only reason it’s not taking the top spot is it was the rain season when I was there so visibility was not great. I wouldn’t skip Ha Giang man. This video was shot in December. While it was definitely cold, it was nothing a nice heavy coat and insulated pants couldn’t handle. I picked both up plus some other cold weather gear in Hanoi for $150 at one of the North Face “outlets.” The visibility was PERFECT every single day, and not a drop of rain the whole time. Enjoy it, I know I’ll for sure be back myself as well!

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words!

Thank you. I love Vietnam and will definitely be back!

Absolutely! The food is almost as incredible as the landscape!

Thank you!

Absolutely! Enjoy it, it’s an incredible country!

Awesome!! Happy to hear it’s still doable. Enjoy Laos!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm new to this and this type of positive feedback is really nice to hear. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Enjoy Vietnam!
