We are in Da Nang currently and love it! We've been full-time traveling with our 2 kids and we are considering Da Nang as one of our home bases after traveling to 11 countries in 1 year! Easy airport access, clean, safe, nice beach and affordable! Simply Amazing!❤😊🇻🇳
Da Nang is one of our favorites! We are currently in Turkey and loving it as well. Not as inexpensive as Vietnam but still very affordable. Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Cheers!!🍻
I'm a Canadian school teacher who has taught in eight countries. Da Nang is one of my favorite cities as well. My apartment was just a few minutes walk from the Dragon Bridge and not too far from the beach. Great job on the video, Brian and Carrie !
We had a great time in Vietnam and plan to return next year. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We very much appreciate the support!! Cheers!!🍻
We are starting our second week in Da Nang,. I LOVE sootering around town in the crazy traffic, the incredible coffee, the cheap beer, and the wonderful people.
Somehow the algorithm suggested this video. I was like “ugh another routine couple travel video”. I was wrong. Your chemistry is infectious and you describe the scenes well. Now following.
Hi. We are off to travel Vietnam very shortly. We were not going to visit Da Nang, but have now booked in a couple of days there, thanks to your interesting video. Sold……ha ha. Greetings from Australia
Thank you, Stephen! Da Nang is a place where we could stay for a long period of time if we ever get the chance. It's too bad that we only get the 30-day visa. Cheers!!🍻
Da Nang should be on everyone's list!! We had a great time with plenty of things to do besides drinking beer on the beach. 😀 Something for everyone! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!!🍻
Thanks for the video! It’s been so fun watching you travel. Just got my convertible mini weekender on your recommendation. Can’t wait to try it in May.
That's so awesome - I have loved mine so much. I didn't take the lower portion of the bag this time to SE Asia cause because I was packing a bit lighter but love having the option of using it when I need more space. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie We our planning a cruise which includes Vietnam looking forward to it. You both are good at doing great travel videos and my wife and I enjoy them very much Carrie & Brian Take care always Phil & Lilian 🇬🇧
@@BrianandCarrie Very good, I'll look forward to viewing it. We are booking Malaysia and Cambodia for winter next year - Portugal has been very cold, and we don't want to repeat the experience.
Thank you so much, Louise - We love your kind words and support. It's comments like this that motivate us to continue doing what we are doing. Thanks so much for watching :)
We had a great time in Da Nang and Hoi An. We plan to return to Vietnam next year to explore more of what we have missed. Thank you for watching and commenting!! Cheers!!🍻
I look forward to these videos - always well shot, upbeat and very informative. I hope one day to travel to Vietnam and other places that you've already visited. Thanks very much for posting!
Thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate the feedback. We always appreciated this style of the video when we were searching so we are happy to hear others our enjoying ours as well :). Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, it’s very annoying, but if you can keep smiling and say no thank you, they will leave you alone. I experienced the same annoyance from the tenacious vendors in Kathmandu as well. Learning to say a few phrases in the local language, while holding up the palm of you hand upright, while shaking both your head & your hand would stop the onslaught. That had worked for me.
A smile and a no thank you usually works, this was much more aggressive then anywhere we've been. I would agree that learning a few phrases would be a great idea!! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers 🍻
Nice video, thanks. Grazie I'm planning to come to Vietnam for the second time, the first time in 2010, but for now my plan to stop only in Hanoi, I liked it a lot, I would like to see it again. But your video about Da Nang makes growing me idea to see Da Nang too, I don't know what I'll do, I'm undecided…. Grazie dei video ciao
Thank you so much for watching! We loved our time in Hanoi as well, but then enjoyed the quieter pace of life in Da Nang. So many wonderful places to see, we look forward to returning as well to explore more. Cheers 🍻
Hello Carrie & Brian- I am loving your Southeast Asia adventures and really appreciate the insight you give us on the do's and don'ts of navigating this part of the world- I hope that Cambodia and the Philippines are on your list. You kids be safe and keep exploring every corner of the globe.
Hi, Christina. We will be heading to Cambodia and the Philippines in January 2024. We just arrived in Southern Thailand and will be going to Malaysia!! Thank you for watching and commenting!! ❤
Ohhhh i thought you were going to go to the 3D art museum - would have been fantastic to see you in the photos!!!! anyway loved the video and i find both of you refreshing to watch ...thank you
We didn't make it to the museum unfortunately but did have a great time in Da Nang. We may be back someday. Thank you for the kind words and for watching our channel! Cheers!!🍻
My favorite travel blog. Always good content, well presented. Useful information on prices. No whiny talking or asking viewers to become "patreons" or send money. And Brian likes his beer!! Keep up the great work. Can't wait for Singapore.
Beautiful video! I loved the Lady Buddha place with the monkeys running around free! Your hotel looks sweet too! What an amazing place to be in! Love you!! 🥰🥰😘😘
I LOVED the monkeys ❤❤. The Lady Buddha complex was way more than we expected, such beautiful grounds and a wonderful view point over Da Nang. We scored on the hotel as well, one of our favorite places to date!! Love and miss you both 😘😘
Thank you so much for all your great travel info! We are retirees living in Western Australia and are now focussing on travelling to Thailand and Vietnam based on your experience - we had previously been looking at Europe. Oops gotta go. It's wine o'clock! :-) Cheers R&R
Wine o'clock is as good as two thirsty! You'll love your time in Thailand and Vietnam. We will be returning in 2026. Thank you for watching and safe travels!
Yes brings back memories marble mountain and the grand huge room amazing caves.. If you walk the whole thing it's about 500 steps up and down.. After all that walking we came back and could not find our scooter forgot where we parked exactly...🙏🙏
Oh, goodness - it's honestly no surprise with so many scooters around! I often wondered how we'd be able to keep track of one, we'd lose it for sure 😂.
Many people skip Hue, which I'm sad about as I'm all about historical stuff and ruins, which the Imperial City checks off. Go take a look at Alright Anton!'s videos as he has great drone shots. CularTravels had a great war tour guide for Hue in the DMZ area if you're into that. Also, Hue is known for it's food so if you can find a good food tour go on them ("Chase and Shelbs" showed a great restaurant). Some awesome food tours I saw were from MomDuty and "Flora and Note" in Hanoi, "Chase and Shelbs" in HCMC/Saigon, and "Steph and Pete" in Hoi An.
Thank you, Brian! We loved Hoi An as well. We may have to come back to Vietnam next year. The 30-day visa limited us a bit. Beautiful country! Cheers!!🍻
Da Nang is one of my favorite cities in my favorite ( so far ) countries in Asia. I was there last month for a break from the extreme heat and poor air quality in Thailand. Yes , vendors do work to get your attention . A polite not now or no thanks was all that was needed however. As tourists we shouldn't forget they are trying very hard to make a living in a very competitive environment. Great video on the highlights of the city.
Yes we loved it there 😊. The only place we ever had aggressive sales was at the market, otherwise super kind and helpful. Cheers and thanks for watching 😊
great awesome video guys quick question I noticed you guys love the streeet food and I think that is great and a great cultural expirence however are there public bathroom available BTW I love my beer thats the reason for the question LOL thanks guys LOVE THE VIDEO's
YES!! There are clean public restrooms all along the beach for those of us that enjoy our beer!! And they are free!!! Great question, Jeff. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻
I absolutely love your videos!!! They’re so informative and entertaining. You show just enough video footage to whet our appetites to want to see more but not too much so that it gets boring. I can’t wait to visit Vietnam next year! Thank you for all the wonderful work you do bringing these videos to us. ❤❤️
Thank you, Lorrie. Vietnam should be on everyone's bucket list!! It is an amazing country with so many things to see and do. We just loved it. Thanks again!! Cheers!!🍻
You had me worried about the dancing ban, so I checked FB and Dork Dancing Da Nang is still happening on the beach. Looks like they are getting some good numbers. Will be joining them soon.
I thought Ba Na hill was a very pleasant destination. First off when I was there it was very hot in Da Nang so Ba Na was a cool relief. Secondly, the place is large and there are different areas and at least when we were there pre-covid there was a wine bar next to the flower garden, excellent European food cooked by European chefs and lot of entertainement and busking. Seemed to have lot of activities for families with kids also. Maybe it's not up to same level entertainement now as before Covid, but if I get to go to Danang again, I wouldn't mind heading up there for a chill day.
Hi, Karl. We loved Vietnam so much we plan on going back in the spring of 2024. We are considering Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang. We will also spend some time in Cambodia. It is a fun region and the cost of living is minimal. Thank you for watching our channel and commenting! Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Hi Brian and Carrie. I didn't expect a reply. It is appreciated. That region appears to be a hidden gem. We go to Spain quite alot, only because my wife has family there (we just got back from Burgos, and now we're going again in about a month to Barcelona...me for a week, my wife and kid for a month). I may be one of the few people who's tired of Barcelona. There's so much more to see in the world. I will continue to watch your channel and live vicariously through you. 🌏 Happy travels!🛫
Hello! I absolutely love your videos! They are incredibly inspiring, especially showing us budget travelers that it is possible to see the world. I’m hoping to visit Thailand and Vietnam next year. I’m really looking forward to seeing your monthly wrap up! I’m sure your videos take considerable time to produce, but I could have easily watched another hour! Such a beautiful place to visit. Curious where Thailand or Vietnam fall in your list of countries you’d consider more permanent for retirement. Have a wonderful week! :)
Thank you, Carol, for all the kind words. We are loving our time here and would put Da Nang up there with the Algarve in Portugal as a place to stay long-term. We have just arrived back in Southern Thailand to experience beach life here! We will have a Vietnam cost breakdown here in a few weeks and our Thailand video will be a little more detailed with the 2-month cost. Thank you again for watching and commenting. We appreciate the support. Cheers!🍻
Great video and narrative about Da Nang. Will even check out your video about Hoi An. You mentioned rainy and cloudy weather, which month were you in Da Nang?
Well said! My sister and I have been doing what you are doing for 4.5 years and we love it. Because we are from Australia we can only afford to go home once a year so we compensate by doing 2 things because we found we missed true friendships. We get our friends to come to Europe and we meet up with them (and give them good advice and tips) and we join expat groups in our long stay places. So we have made some amazing friends from all over the world including locals. Antalya is particularly welcoming for this! Maybe we could see you somewhere if our paths cross. We've just had 2 months in Antalya, off to Albania for 2 months next week. Also we are travelling with our 86 year old mother for 2 years...... We've had to work really hard on not burning out 😂
as someone that has visited da nang 8 times marble mountain is well worth the miss. it’s like a big rubbish moment and underwhelming but i always enjoy content creators trying to make fetch happen
Hi, Shannon! You could easily spend 3-5 days and not run out of things to do. You will want to spend one night in Hoi An as well. It is only 30 minutes away but staying the night was inexpensive and well worth it. Thank you for watching and following our channel!! Cheers!!🍻
Hi Guys, Da Nang looked very nice and especially the beach. If I want to fly there with an empty suitcase and buy clothing like the Northface gear, Brian keeps talking about where is better, Thailand or Vietnam? Keep up the excellent work; the videos are great!
Vietnam is known for its great deals! Thailand has plenty of shopping, but the big-name brand items are in Vietnam. Thank you again for always commenting and supporting us. Cheers!!🍻
Hi Brian & Carrie, My wife and I are flying into Bangkok in March and we are planning to go to Da Nang for a couple of weeks. We only have a total of 3 weeks and we would like to make the most of it . We also intend to go to Phuket and some islands as well but not sure the best way to go about it. Have you got any tips on which airports are the best to fly to and from and which way would you do it? We arrive on the 15th March until 5th April and would like to see some parts of Thailand but defiantly Da Nang and Hoi An.. Thank you so much, you have been very helpful in the past with your advice.
Hi! Bangkok is a great central point and fortunately both Da Nang and Phuket have airports. All of SE Asia was easy to get around by flights so I think you find it's best to just get on a plane to your next destination. Cheers!!
@@BrianandCarrie thank you. I think Vietnam is tricky weather-wise. My reading suggests the north (Hanoi and Halong Bay) is good in October, the middle (Da Nang, Hoi An) is best around June-July and the south (Siagon) at December.
I was at Marble Mountain in December 2019 and it was raining, the steps were like glass, crazy slippery and there are very few things to hold on to -- not much fun and no view as it was too foggy. If this was in another country it would be closed for safety. just part of being in Vietnam!!!
Love your videos! Looking forward to a trip to Thailand and Vietnam this summer… Wondering if you could share a little about how you booked your flights in between locations? App? Website? Booking app? Did you book them far in advance? Thanks so much for the tips!
Hi Brian and Carrie I’m really interested in finding the apartment you stayed at in My A but the link provided in your total cost video doesn’t seem to have the exact place. Was that something you could share with me? Just looking for the name or a link of the property there. Love your videos!
Hi! We don't share our Airbnb links any longer due to multiple reasons. The link we shared is for the area we stayed in the My An area, which we highly recommend. Cheers
Brian & Carrie, question: when you were in Vietnam, to get Dong did you find that use of say your Schwab card worked at ATMs in Dang Nang or Hoi An? In other videos you have mentioned that Vietnam is cash-based mostly around town, so I wonder if you used ATMs which are connected to a bank there, or....? Thanks.
First time watching your channel, great content! Some I saw seems like drone footages. Did you have any problem bringing or flying drone in VN at all, specifically in Da Nang? I heard drones are prohibited there, and may get confiscated if you bring one (at leat when flew in by plane that I heard) . Curious because I will be traveling to VN at the end of May next month and plan on visiting Da Nang. So many changes in VN since I was there last time which was back in 2010, LOL. Feels like I'm a complete stranger when I'm going there this time 😂. Any input is much appreciated. Also, I just liked and subscribed.
Hi, Kevin. We actually don't use a drone for the reasons you mention. In addition, packing one around the world isn't something we won't do. We use Canva, a paid service that we get stock footage from. We did a video not too long ago about our process of how we shoot and produce all of our videos. here is the link. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻 ruclips.net/video/JQ5YY_fBecM/видео.html
@@BrianandCarrie Appreciate your response, Brian & Carrie. I'm not a content creator by any means. I just love to take videos and pictures everywhere I go. Especially now that I have a drone, it would be cool to get some aerial footages while I'm traveling. Guess I'll have to do some more research about bringing a drone to Da Nang. Haven't really gotten any straight answer about it. Some say they never had any issues with drone in VN, but it might just be luck. 😂
Are you flying through the country or traveling by train? I am planning an upcoming a trip to Vietnam and I am wondering if I need to get a visa for each entry point? We fly into Da Nang from Ho Chi Minh City and then we fly into Hanoi from Da Nang. We have a single entry visa to Ho Chi Minh City.
Hi, Alicia. You will only need one visa. You may be asked where you are exiting from but we traveled by air and had no questions asked. Thank you for watching and safe travels. Cheers!!🍻
We are in Da Nang currently and love it! We've been full-time traveling with our 2 kids and we are considering Da Nang as one of our home bases after traveling to 11 countries in 1 year! Easy airport access, clean, safe, nice beach and affordable! Simply Amazing!❤😊🇻🇳
Da Nang is one of our favorites! We are currently in Turkey and loving it as well. Not as inexpensive as Vietnam but still very affordable. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!

FACTS
I'm a Canadian school teacher who has taught in eight countries. Da Nang is one of my favorite cities as well. My apartment was just a few minutes walk from the Dragon Bridge and not too far from the beach. Great job on the video, Brian and Carrie !
We had a great time in Vietnam and plan to return next year. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We very much appreciate the support!!
Cheers!!🍻
I went and did the stairs. Be careful! Worth every step🌟🌟🌟
It was my second time to Vietnam and Cambodia. I WILL return!
We are starting our second week in Da Nang,. I LOVE sootering around town in the crazy traffic, the incredible coffee, the cheap beer, and the wonderful people.
Somehow the algorithm suggested this video. I was like “ugh another routine couple travel video”. I was wrong. Your chemistry is infectious and you describe the scenes well. Now following.
Thank you! Ww so much appreciate that. ❤
Hi. We are off to travel Vietnam very shortly. We were not going to visit Da Nang, but have now booked in a couple of days there, thanks to your interesting video. Sold……ha ha. Greetings from Australia
That's great! You won't be disappointed. Make sure you get down to Hoi An That's only 30 minutes away! Thank you for watching!
Cheers!! 🍻
Nice job! Nailed the top five. Da Nang is a beautiful modern city. Loved our time there.
Thank you, Stephen! Da Nang is a place where we could stay for a long period of time if we ever get the chance. It's too bad that we only get the 30-day visa.
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie 3 months visa is about to start soon as I understood.
We looked this up and you are correct!! Thank you for pointing it out Danny!!
@@BrianandCarrie You guys should look up Expat Nam on RUclips. He’s a Brit living in Đà Nẵng and has a lot of useful info about living in Vietnam.
Thanks for the nice tour of Da Nang. Enjoyed it and sure a Must visit place.
Absolutely it is a must. The beach is great, the people are wonderful and of course the food!!
Cheers, CM!!🍻
My family was in Da nang was one of our favorite cities and we spent 6 days there in late December and the weather was great.
We had a great time there as well! Love Vietnam! Thank you for watching!!

Great Videos. Any plans for a visit to Hue? I see many videos that say its a must see day trip from Danang, along with Hoi An.
Hi, April. We did not make it to Hue, however, we did spend a couple of days in Hoi An and had a great time. Thank you for watching.
Cheers!!🍻
Many people skip Hue, which I'm sad about as I'm all about historical stuff and ruins, which the Imperial City checks off. Go take a look at Alright Anton!'s videos as he has great drone shots.

Da Nang and Hoi An are stellar! I love them so much for truly satisfying vacation times. Great video, as always!
Thank you, Brian! We loved Hoi An as well. We may have to come back to Vietnam next year. The 30-day visa limited us a bit. Beautiful country!
Cheers!!🍻
You should check out Da Lat as many people love it (2Passports1Dream had a good video from there last year).
Will visit this place next time.
It's a wonderful city and a great place to visit or stay for an extended stretch! Thanks so much for watching - Cheers 🍻

Thank you so much, we really appreciate the support!
Cheers!!🍻
You had me worried about the dancing ban, so I checked FB and Dork Dancing Da Nang is still happening on the beach. Looks like they are getting some good numbers. Will be joining them soon.
try da lat
You’re so lucky to have sun. It rained for our whole trip😢
That's too bad! 😒We only got a few days but at least we got something!! Thank you for watching!!!
Cheers!!🍻
Can’t wait to see where you go next 😀
Da Nang is so beautiful! I have liked and subscribed! :)
Thank you! We very much appreciate the support!
Cheers!!🍻
A nice video
Thank you!!
Thanks for visiting my beautiful country.
You should vísit Nha Trang , the beach city.👍💕
Thank you for watching, Dao! We won't make it to Nha Trang this year, but we plan to return next year!! ❤
I thought Ba Na hill was a very pleasant destination. First off when I was there it was very hot in Da Nang so Ba Na was a cool relief. Secondly, the place is large and there are different areas and at least when we were there pre-covid there was a wine bar next to the flower garden, excellent European food cooked by European chefs and lot of entertainement and busking. Seemed to have lot of activities for families with kids also. Maybe it's not up to same level entertainement now as before Covid, but if I get to go to Danang again, I wouldn't mind heading up there for a chill day.
Cool place. I never ever thought to visit Danang, much less Vietnam. But, I am giving it strong consideration.
Hi, Karl. We loved Vietnam so much we plan on going back in the spring of 2024. We are considering Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang. We will also spend some time in Cambodia. It is a fun region and the cost of living is minimal. Thank you for watching our channel and commenting!
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Hi Brian and Carrie. I didn't expect a reply. It is appreciated. That region appears to be a hidden gem. We go to Spain quite alot, only because my wife has family there (we just got back from Burgos, and now we're going again in about a month to Barcelona...me for a week, my wife and kid for a month). I may be one of the few people who's tired of Barcelona. There's so much more to see in the world. I will continue to watch your channel and live vicariously through you. 🌏 Happy travels!🛫
Thank you, Karl!! Safe travels to you as well!
Hello! I absolutely love your videos! They are incredibly inspiring, especially showing us budget travelers that it is possible to see the world. I’m hoping to visit Thailand and Vietnam next year. I’m really looking forward to seeing your monthly wrap up! I’m sure your videos take considerable time to produce, but I could have easily watched another hour! Such a beautiful place to visit. Curious where Thailand or Vietnam fall in your list of countries you’d consider more permanent for retirement. Have a wonderful week! :)
Thank you, Carol, for all the kind words. We are loving our time here and would put Da Nang up there with the Algarve in Portugal as a place to stay long-term. We have just arrived back in Southern Thailand to experience beach life here! We will have a Vietnam cost breakdown here in a few weeks and our Thailand video will be a little more detailed with the 2-month cost. Thank you again for watching and commenting. We appreciate the support.
Cheers!🍻
Great video and narrative about Da Nang. Will even check out your video about Hoi An. You mentioned rainy and cloudy weather, which month were you in Da Nang?
Thank you! We were in Da Nang in Feb to early March. It was getting much nicer as we were leaving.
Going tomorrow!!
Well said! My sister and I have been doing what you are doing for 4.5 years and we love it. Because we are from Australia we can only afford to go home once a year so we compensate by doing 2 things because we found we missed true friendships. We get our friends to come to Europe and we meet up with them (and give them good advice and tips) and we join expat groups in our long stay places. So we have made some amazing friends from all over the world including locals. Antalya is particularly welcoming for this! Maybe we could see you somewhere if our paths cross. We've just had 2 months in Antalya, off to Albania for 2 months next week. Also we are travelling with our 86 year old mother for 2 years...... We've had to work really hard on not burning out 😂
nothing better than having a beer on a hot humid day !
We would agree with that!!😃
Cheers!!🍻
as someone that has visited da nang 8 times marble mountain is well worth the miss. it’s like a big rubbish moment and underwhelming but i always enjoy content creators trying to make fetch happen
Thank you for watching and commenting Dimitri.
Cheere!
This place has been added to my bucket list! Loved this video! How many days would you recommend in this area?
Hi, Shannon! You could easily spend 3-5 days and not run out of things to do. You will want to spend one night in Hoi An as well. It is only 30 minutes away but staying the night was inexpensive and well worth it. Thank you for watching and following our channel!!
Cheers!!🍻
Hi Guys,
Da Nang looked very nice and especially the beach. If I want to fly there with an empty suitcase and buy clothing like the Northface gear, Brian keeps talking about where is better, Thailand or Vietnam? Keep up the excellent work; the videos are great!
Vietnam is known for its great deals! Thailand has plenty of shopping, but the big-name brand items are in Vietnam. Thank you again for always commenting and supporting us.
Cheers!!🍻
Go to the big markets in town….you will find more clothing that you want.
Thanks for the great video. Is the night market and Dragon show every evening?
The dragon show is every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night starting at 9:00 pm. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
Try East West Brewery on the beach!!
We will if we make it back here 😊. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Brian & Carrie,
My wife and I are flying into Bangkok in March and we are planning to go to Da Nang for a couple of weeks. We only have a total of 3 weeks and we would like to make the most of it .
We also intend to go to Phuket and some islands as well but not sure the best way to go about it. Have you got any tips on which airports are the best to fly to and from and which way would you do it?
We arrive on the 15th March until 5th April and would like to see some parts of Thailand but defiantly Da Nang and Hoi An.. Thank you so much, you have been very helpful in the past with your advice.
Hi! Bangkok is a great central point and fortunately both Da Nang and Phuket have airports. All of SE Asia was easy to get around by flights so I think you find it's best to just get on a plane to your next destination. Cheers!!
Welcome to Vietnam
We will be there with our two kids in 2 weeks - can you tell me how the mosquito situation is? It’s my only concern right now. Thanks
We did not experience any mosquitos, so you will have a fantastic time. Safe travels and thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
great video are there showers and toilet facilities on the beaches?
Yes, the main beach has showers and toilets.
@@BrianandCarrie thats great in Greece one has to pay for these facilities
What cab did you use to get around?
I believe we used Uber while in Vietnam.
great vlog - thanks. what month were you there?
We were there from mid-Feb. to the first week in March. The weather really improved about the time that we left. 😄
@@BrianandCarrie thank you. I think Vietnam is tricky weather-wise. My reading suggests the north (Hanoi and Halong Bay) is good in October, the middle (Da Nang, Hoi An) is best around June-July and the south (Siagon) at December.
Respect 🇻🇳😊
Thank you!!
What time of the year was it? This is a fantastic resource! Headed there soon!
We were there late February to early March. Thank you so much for watching!! 😊
I was at Marble Mountain in December 2019 and it was raining, the steps were like glass, crazy slippery and there are very few things to hold on to -- not much fun and no view as it was too foggy. If this was in another country it would be closed for safety. just part of being in Vietnam!!!
Love your videos! Looking forward to a trip to Thailand and Vietnam this summer… Wondering if you could share a little about how you booked your flights in between locations? App? Website? Booking app? Did you book them far in advance? Thanks so much for the tips!
Thank you! Great suggestion - we will be doing a video/podcast very soon on this.
What a great place and different from Hanoi and Saigon :o
Thank you for watching!!
Glad that you love Danang! Wish you have great time here in Vietnam! Cheers from Hanoi❤️
We had a great time in Hanoi and loved being in Da Nang as well. Thank you for watching and commenting, Hung.
Cheers!!🍻
Did you get a grab to all locations with no issues?
Yes, it was very easy.
How long would you suggest staying there if it’s your first time in Asia
We would spend about 5 days and include Hoi An. That would give you beach time as well. 😊
To which beach bar did you went? I could not find the name 🙈 we are now just in Da Nang 🙃
We can't remember the name but it is right on the main strip. Have a great time and happy travels!! 😀
Hello! I am loving your videos! How many days did you spend in Danang?
Hi, Rhonda. We spent 24 days in Da Nang and 2 days in Hoi An halfway through our stay. Loved the area! Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
Yeah bugger the monkeys, was bitten in Bali & had to have rabie shots 🤦♀️ Thanks guys another great video.
OUCH!!! 😳 We have heard that they can be aggressive, so we kept our distance. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
Hi Brian and Carrie
I’m really interested in finding the apartment you stayed at in My A but the link provided in your total cost video doesn’t seem to have the exact place. Was that something you could share with me? Just looking for the name or a link of the property there. Love your videos!
Hi! We don't share our Airbnb links any longer due to multiple reasons. The link we shared is for the area we stayed in the My An area, which we highly recommend. Cheers
@@BrianandCarrie Thanks for responding. I totally understand. Safe travels to you both. Cheers
Brian & Carrie, question: when you were in Vietnam, to get Dong did you find that use of say your Schwab card worked at ATMs in Dang Nang or Hoi An? In other videos you have mentioned that Vietnam is cash-based mostly around town, so I wonder if you used ATMs which are connected to a bank there, or....? Thanks.
Hi! Yes, we took cash out with the ATM using our US based card. Cheers!
I liked the fact that you mention tiny details .. not fancy and fake unlike these days travel vloggers do ..
Thank you so much for watching!! 😊
First time watching your channel, great content! Some I saw seems like drone footages. Did you have any problem bringing or flying drone in VN at all, specifically in Da Nang? I heard drones are prohibited there, and may get confiscated if you bring one (at leat when flew in by plane that I heard) . Curious because I will be traveling to VN at the end of May next month and plan on visiting Da Nang. So many changes in VN since I was there last time which was back in 2010, LOL. Feels like I'm a complete stranger when I'm going there this time 😂. Any input is much appreciated. Also, I just liked and subscribed.
Hi, Kevin. We actually don't use a drone for the reasons you mention. In addition, packing one around the world isn't something we won't do. We use Canva, a paid service that we get stock footage from. We did a video not too long ago about our process of how we shoot and produce all of our videos. here is the link. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻 ruclips.net/video/JQ5YY_fBecM/видео.html
@@BrianandCarrie Appreciate your response, Brian & Carrie. I'm not a content creator by any means. I just love to take videos and pictures everywhere I go. Especially now that I have a drone, it would be cool to get some aerial footages while I'm traveling. Guess I'll have to do some more research about bringing a drone to Da Nang. Haven't really gotten any straight answer about it. Some say they never had any issues with drone in VN, but it might just be luck. 😂
It is really hard to say. It may depend on the border agent. Check the Government web site, it may have some answers.
How long did you stay in Da Nang and was it the right amount of time?
We slow travel so we were there for almost a month.
@@BrianandCarrie We are considering the same. Would you recommend two months Feb/March or is the too long?
Two months may be a bit long, but it all depends on what you are looking for.
Are you flying through the country or traveling by train? I am planning an upcoming a trip to Vietnam and I am wondering if I need to get a visa for each entry point? We fly into Da Nang from Ho Chi Minh City and then we fly into Hanoi from Da Nang. We have a single entry visa to Ho Chi Minh City.
Hi, Alicia. You will only need one visa. You may be asked where you are exiting from but we traveled by air and had no questions asked. Thank you for watching and safe travels.
Cheers!!🍻
