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 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!!🍻
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 :)
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!
We had a great time in Da Nang, unfortunately, we are not able to make it to Nha Trang. The new 30-day visa has forced us to leave. We are planning on a return trip next year, however. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!! Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie I actually just watched a video from Mandy and Lloyd and they mentioned you can extend the visa to 3 months...haven't seen anyone do it, but they were there last year and they uploaded a summary of their trip recently.
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!!🍻
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!!🍻
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 😂
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!!🍻
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 😊
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.
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!🍻
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!!🍻
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 😂.
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, 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!!🍻
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.
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!!🍻
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.
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
Another terrific and informative video. In your travels this year you have seen a lot of templates and outdoor markets/food. How do you compare Viet nam with Thailand? Which has been your most memorable temple? Which food has been most surprising and enjoyable for you? What are you missing from North American or Europe eats? I would agree on hitting a beach on a sunny day after a period of overcast and rain. Cheers to you both.
Hi, Robert! We are planning on doing a Vietnam Vs Thailand video in the coming months, but, just between us 😉 we love Thia food!! 😀 We love Khao soi. The temple that we enjoyed the most was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. That is the video we did with Hannah and Trey from Probably Lost. They just released a video with that temple and a few others featuring us!!! 😀 The food that we miss is good ole BBQ! Looking forward to smoking up some ribs when we get home!! Thank you, Robert, for all your support!! Cheers!!🍻
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!🛫
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 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!!
To think during the war, there were 2 Marine outposts on top of Marble Mountain…..there were firefights almost every night, red and green tracers provided a light show.
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!
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. 😂
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.
We always look forward to your videos. Great tips & advice. Please advise us about your streaming stick. Have you been able to use it in all countries without any problems? We have Roku but are not sure if it will work or is Firestick a better option for Europe? You've mentioned that Netflix works but how about other channels? Would greatly appreciate your input. Happy adventures to you.😎
We have used our Firestick in every location we travel to without issue. Some platforms will require you to have a VPN running for the US, but with that, they have all worked just fine for us. If you need a VPN there is a link in the description to the VPN we use - they are very inexpensive and much needed when traveling for so much you will do from streaming to banking. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers 🍻
Hi Brian and Carrie. Great video! Hubby and me love dogs. I see so many in Pa nang and Vietnam. How is it they get by for water and food generally ? And how, in your experience, are they treated by locals and are there any rescues that you know of? Many thx.
From our experience, there were only a few times I saw a dog that was quite skinny. The rest of the time, they all seemed fairly well-fed. Not sure if this came from owners or simply getting food from the streets. Never did we run into any dogs that were aggressive or mean or see them being mistreated.
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
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!!🍻
Hi, Margie. Being on a budget the way we are, we are liking Asia a lot. Being able to eat out daily and enjoy the local cuisine adds to the travel experience. We also are able to do a few extra activities that we wouldn't be able to do in Europe. We will loosen the purse strings a bit at some point, we still dream of exploring Western Europe! Some day! Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!!🍻
Honestly, Europe doesn't compare to Asia in terms of activities, food, nightlife, buzz, shopping and culture. Asia just has much more variety for exploration - island hopping, swimming with whale sharks, hidden lagoons, mountain cliff islands, caves, jungle zip lines, canyoneering, river rafting, waterfalls, rice paddies, surfing, white sand beaches etc. It's endless. Europe has beautiful architecture but it's not as fun or interesting as Asia, especially if you're a Westerner.
Asia is much more abundant than the entire Latin America. The markets in LATAM have less variety and the higher end ones cater to those that want European products.
Great vid guys. The lady Buddha is named Quan Te Am Bo Tat and you will see her everywhere in Vietnam. She is kind of their patron saint, a bodhisattva (Buddha) of compassion. I will be back in Da Nang in 3 weeks after a bit of time fixing our house in Saigon. Cheers from Australia.
you must not have visited all of vietnam then. Da Nang is like a busy Asian city anywhere in southeast asia. If you want real vietnam there are so many other good places to go. Hoi An Hue go to the north or south so many better places to go then Da Nang. The best street food does is definitely not in Da Nang
We only had a 30-day visa, and we did stay 2 days in Hoi An 2 days in Hanoi, and 3 days in Ha Long Bay. We have videos on all 4 destinations if you are interested. Thank you for watching our channel. Cheers!!🍻
Absolutely stunning vlog. Love the honesty regarding how crowded it is, and how aggressive the vendors are. It is what it is. Do you two have an Instagram account? UPDATE: Found you on instagram. Sent you a message.
So happy that you found us, Sherry!! We advertise our Instagram with "pop-ups" a couple of times in our videos and in our video description, but we think we may start to mention it during the video. Thank you for following us!! We very much appreciate the support! Cheers!!🍻
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, 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!!🍻
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!! ❤
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 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.
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!!!

Great video and great contents, always enjoy your videos

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!! 🍻
Another terrific and informative video. In your travels this year you have seen a lot of templates and outdoor markets/food. How do you compare Viet nam with Thailand? Which has been your most memorable temple? Which food has been most surprising and enjoyable for you? What are you missing from North American or Europe eats? I would agree on hitting a beach on a sunny day after a period of overcast and rain. Cheers to you both.
Hi, Robert! We are planning on doing a Vietnam Vs Thailand video in the coming months, but, just between us 😉 we love Thia food!! 😀 We love Khao soi. The temple that we enjoyed the most was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. That is the video we did with Hannah and Trey from Probably Lost. They just released a video with that temple and a few others featuring us!!! 😀 The food that we miss is good ole BBQ! Looking forward to smoking up some ribs when we get home!! Thank you, Robert, for all your support!!
Cheers!!🍻
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!
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!
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!!
To think during the war, there were 2 Marine outposts on top of Marble Mountain…..there were firefights almost every night, red and green tracers provided a light show.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing ☺️
Respect 🇻🇳😊
Thank you!!
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.
A lot less busy and fun than Thailand night markets !
Definitely a different feel than some areas in Thailand, but we very much loved Da Nang!
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!!🍻
Be careful what you wish for...monkeys in Asia are terrors!!! 😃 Enjoying your videos very much. Thank you for sharing.
They are cute but aggressive and wild! Thank you for watching and commenting!
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
Going tomorrow!!
The BUDDHA did bless Vietnam. No doubt.
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.
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!
A nice video
Thank you!!
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 🍻
Try East West Brewery on the beach!!
We will if we make it back here 😊. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did you get a grab to all locations with no issues?
Yes, it was very easy.
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!! 😀
Welcome to Việt Nam...
Thank you, Thanh!! Your country is so beautiful! ❤
We always look forward to your videos. Great tips & advice. Please advise us about your streaming stick. Have you been able to use it in all countries without any problems? We have Roku but are not sure if it will work or is Firestick a better option for Europe? You've mentioned that Netflix works but how about other channels? Would greatly appreciate your input. Happy adventures to you.😎
We have used our Firestick in every location we travel to without issue. Some platforms will require you to have a VPN running for the US, but with that, they have all worked just fine for us. If you need a VPN there is a link in the description to the VPN we use - they are very inexpensive and much needed when traveling for so much you will do from streaming to banking. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers 🍻
Forgot to ask, are using your Firestick with your laptop only or are connecting it to a TV port? Again, thank you for this info.😊
We connect it to the TV in our Airbnb or hotel.
Hi Brian and Carrie. Great video! Hubby and me love dogs. I see so many in Pa nang and Vietnam. How is it they get by for water and food generally ? And how, in your experience, are they treated by locals and are there any rescues that you know of? Many thx.
From our experience, there were only a few times I saw a dog that was quite skinny. The rest of the time, they all seemed fairly well-fed. Not sure if this came from owners or simply getting food from the streets. Never did we run into any dogs that were aggressive or mean or see them being mistreated.
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
Wellcome to việt nam
Thank you!!
What cab did you use to get around?
I believe we used Uber while in Vietnam.
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!!🍻
How are you liking Asian as compared to Europe ?
Hi, Margie. Being on a budget the way we are, we are liking Asia a lot. Being able to eat out daily and enjoy the local cuisine adds to the travel experience. We also are able to do a few extra activities that we wouldn't be able to do in Europe. We will loosen the purse strings a bit at some point, we still dream of exploring Western Europe! Some day! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Cheers!!🍻
Honestly, Europe doesn't compare to Asia in terms of activities, food, nightlife, buzz, shopping and culture. Asia just has much more variety for exploration - island hopping, swimming with whale sharks, hidden lagoons, mountain cliff islands, caves, jungle zip lines, canyoneering, river rafting, waterfalls, rice paddies, surfing, white sand beaches etc. It's endless. Europe has beautiful architecture but it's not as fun or interesting as Asia, especially if you're a Westerner.
@@kippsguitar6539 I can tell you never lived in Asia before.

Have you been in Cambodja from Saigon/HCMC ?
Hi, Antonio. We have not been to Saigon or Cambodia yet. We do have plans to come back next spring. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cheers 🍻
♥️♥️
Thank you!❤
👍
who is Lady boo da?
Here ya go! ladybuddha.org/ Thanks for watching.
Cheers!!🍻
I am afraid that gorgeous looking seafood is farm raised ..
I'm guessing not in Vietnam but could be wrong. 🤔
Asia is much more abundant than the entire Latin America. The markets in LATAM have less variety and the higher end ones cater to those that want European products.
Okokok
Great vid guys. The lady Buddha is named Quan Te Am Bo Tat and you will see her everywhere in Vietnam. She is kind of their patron saint, a bodhisattva (Buddha) of compassion. I will be back in Da Nang in 3 weeks after a bit of time fixing our house in Saigon. Cheers from Australia.
Thank you for the information and for watching our channel!! We will make it to Saigon next year and hopefully Australia soon!
Cheers!!🍻
you must not have visited all of vietnam then. Da Nang is like a busy Asian city anywhere in southeast asia. If you want real vietnam there are so many other good places to go. Hoi An Hue go to the north or south so many better places to go then Da Nang. The best street food does is definitely not in Da Nang
We only had a 30-day visa, and we did stay 2 days in Hoi An 2 days in Hanoi, and 3 days in Ha Long Bay. We have videos on all 4 destinations if you are interested. Thank you for watching our channel.
Cheers!!🍻
Avoid Vietnam may June lots of Chinese visit
Every place does have those months with a lot of tourists. Always best to check that before choosing when you want to go.
Absolutely stunning vlog. Love the honesty regarding how crowded it is, and how aggressive the vendors are. It is what it is. Do you two have an Instagram account? UPDATE: Found you on instagram. Sent you a message.
So happy that you found us, Sherry!! We advertise our Instagram with "pop-ups" a couple of times in our videos and in our video description, but we think we may start to mention it during the video. Thank you for following us!! We very much appreciate the support!
Cheers!!🍻
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. ❤
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.
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!! ❤
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!!🍻
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 🍻
Da Nang is great... Hoi An is a lovely experience also and is close by.
We loved our time in Da Nang and also took a few days to enjoy Hoi An as well - a little hint on our upcoming video in a few weeks 😉. Cheers!!
@@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.
It’s so beautiful. 👍
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!!🍻
try da lat
Great video! Thanks for all the useful information. We will definitely add it to our bucket list.
You won't be disappointed! We had a great time and could have stayed longer. Thank you for watching and safe travels.
Cheers!!🍻
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!!!
