In today's video I will show you the brand new Hilton Garden Inn Da Nang. But we will also talk about: - Why I believe Vietnam is going to be biggest player in South East Asia. - The weather in Da Nang and the best time to visit - My story and career with Hilton hotels Sit back, relax and enjoy this video ;) ➡ Hilton Garden Inn Da Nang: bit.ly/44UiIOw ➡ INSURANCE VIETNAM 🇻🇳 bit.ly/3lzNUxK Some of you asked me to show the famous Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills near Da Nang. Here is the video, I went there last year: ➡Ba Na Hills SunWorld - WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE? 🇻🇳 WORTH A VISIT? ruclips.net/video/ywEhawO0s94/видео.html
I agree with you Gabi! I am in love with Vietnam and it's my retirement plan. Too expensive to retire in Australia. I also love Vietnamese culture, food and people.
Nice touch for Hilton to have Gabi share his personal history working for Hilton, especially how Hilton helped develop him even when his English as a 20 year old wasn't the best.
Hi Gabi: I cannot agree more regarding Vietnam becoming the next big hotspot in SE Asia. I love the city of DaNang and the surrounding areas. If they ever do an Elite Visa like Thailand and India I will be one of the first in line. Once again really nice video. When I was there in. May 2023 Man Thai beach (approximately 1km North of you) was stupid busy in the morning and evening. 👍
I was just in Vietnam for the second time this year in July I spent a week in Da Nang and i Stay at Da Nang Marriott resort …the Vietnamese culture is amazing. The foods cheap The coffee is good the locals are very friendly.😊
Gabi I came to the same conclusion re Vietnam V Thailand over fifteen years ago. When I first went to Vietnam I was surprised by how good the internet was. The big bonus for me was that tourism hadn't saturated the country in the way it had in Thailand. I used to regard Chiang Mai as my second home, now it's HCMC. The three month evisa is great news and I'll be taking advantage of it next month. I'll also be returning to Vietnam in February and checking out Nah Trang which I haven't seen for over a decade. The only piece of the puzzle now missing is a Vietnam retirement visa.
That’s great to hear. Even though Saigon and Chiang Mai are so different from each other 😅 Yes a retirement visa will definitely bring a lot of expats into Vietnam
Should be nice in Nha Trang in February. I like it there just big enough. Beautiful beaches. Take time to ride a bit south and north along the coast to get away from the main city center.
Thank you so much for the great clip & fantastic introduction about Hilton Garden Inn hotel & my country. Actually I booked a room there & base on this clip I bet that my family will enjoy our stay there.
Thanks Gabi and I was staying at Da Nang Hilton last August after visiting Hoi An town and thoroughly enjoyed the Vietnamese hospitality and Yes Vietnam is the next available place SE Asia ( except the constant sounds of horns on streets which is annoying). Glad to see you're back on your feet again after beating down your struggle with depression 🫥. Take care mate
Wow, what a gorgeous hotel!! The views are stunning and the pool/jacuzzi are stunning! I hope to stay there one day. What a great way to work with Hilton again! Cheers!
Ciao Gabbi. I love your Videos but have to say your own country is my favourite country since my childhood. The people, the food and the history. Love from Germany 🇩🇪 to Bella Italia 🇮🇹
Great video Gabi ❤ For me Thailand will always be #1, then Italy and Vietnam is now becoming my 4th home 😊. Toronto my home home just in the summer though lol.
Hoi An felt like a tourist trap. Unless I missed something I saw no reason to go there again. Da Nang on the other hand was beautiful. The beach surrounded by the mountains was awesome.
Watching this has made me feel so excited to Visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 we are planning to visit in April as we’re arriving in Hanoi and departing Ho Chi Minh, is this a good time to visit ? Loving the Hilton xx 😘
Vá Hilton👍went to Acopulco 22 year old not so much money then.stewardess for Icelandic airlines.We stayed at Americano hotel.Hilton other side of the road.Spend evenings at Hilton.🤩😁🇮🇸🌺🌿
Happy to see you --- slowly changing your center of gravity toward Vietnam. Chris is ALWAYS smiling! As a young American --- during the Vietnam War --- 50 years ago --- I went to prison, rather than allow the American government--- to set me up --- to kill Vietnamese human beings --- in this 2nd Indo-China War. What a great decision! --- to do a little hard time --- but truly save my soul. Now, I love traveling in SE Asia --- including Vietnam.
Great for Vietnam but I disagree with the concept of overdevelopment to serve the spoiled westerners, if they don't like it there, they can stay where they are coming from. We make the foreigner happy but nothing is done for the local workers who still don't see any improvements in their lives. The magic of Bali (amongst other popular tourists, digital nomads, expats places) completely disappeared because of this! Not a personal rant about you by the way, you do you and you are doing great with your content ;)
I've been in da nang 5 years ago in 2018 around august,a city under construction,and the thought in my head was like "da nang is the coal that would be squeeze into the next diamond " Someday I'd love to go there again for see is my thought was true or not
The entire hospitality industry in Dubai was operating like this in 2010. I heard that things are changing now. Overall I grew a lot with hilton hotels. But it’s also true that it was a traumatic experience for me in Dubai
Love your content! I have a request...please can you leave the breaths in your narration as it's much more natural, and you are nice to listen to at your own pace as a human 😊❤ Thank you!
thanks, is not only the breaths, but that I can't finish a full sentence, I say the wrong words and I constantly make mistakes while talking... that's why you will find many cuts :D
@@ridewithgabi All understood! We love whatever you do anyway - thanks for sharing your humanity and fun and vulnerability along with the beautiful places ❤️ Have a high vibe day!
I visited Vietnam last year.. Vietnam has a issue of language, people in general in hospitality also don't understand english.. It is a big big barrier for tourism to grow like Bali or Thailand... Also the food industry has limited options for tourists.. We found it difficult to find options.. Unlike Bali you have local food like Nasi Goreng, Mei Goreng, few others which is easy to adapt.. This is my take.. Love from India
Hi Gabbi hope you are well. do you know the situation with taking a Vietnamese registered motorbike over the border to Laos/Cambodia and back again? thanks Brian.
Unfortunately you can’t ride into Vietnam, unless is an organized bike tour. The best thing is to rent a bike here. In the next 2 video I will rent a Honda cb500x and ride to Hue. I will share also the contact of the rental shop
Could you make a video around new Visa opportunities in VT? Sounds like visa rules in Philippines? Monsun Season - think Rain 90% for 6 month 🙈 but not 100% sure 🤔 Thanks
I went to Da Nang about 25 years ago,it was a tiny place. If my memory serves there were 3 or 4 beach front places with a few bungalows on each. The whole place smelled of rotting fish as the main street had vat upon vat of fermenting fish for the famous Da Nang fish sauce. How times have changed 😁
I agree with you, but this is unfortunately a paradox. Since Vietnam is in this developed but cheap sweetspot right now, more and more tourist and expats are gonna flow in as you said. However, that will mean it's gonna get expensive and touristy just like Thailand and Bali, thus ruining the vibe. It's a vicious cycle
The beach in that area is extremely dirty when it rains...several grey and black water streams flow right into the sea and the stench is unbearable, beware of catching ecoli or any other kind of disease
Again, another great video! My only thing that keeps me from going to Vietnam, is... how much of the time do you have to deal with the fact that they eat cats and dogs? And consume rhino horn ;-(
that's not as common... it exists but you really have to go look for it and it's not easy to find actually. I mean, you really have to get out of your way to find these places. you most likely won't encounter any of that. but... they definitely eat everything that walks or crawls, at least to some degree. snakes, mice, turtles, live seafood... it's a different food culture for sure.
That's what makes them unique. You either embrace it or you don't. If that's where you draw the line, then okay then. But I would think countries that allow sex tourism or allow children to be used thusly is a bigger deal than people eating an animal deemed a pet vs just killing it since they don't have animal control like in the west (same people bitching about stuff like this won't blink an eye when eating beef, which is considered sacred in India...same people whom snarf down bacon like no tomorrow with no regards nor care to the Muslims...in the other words the hypocrisy is high).
I went to Nam in around 2018 for a month and personally wasn't super impressed... Food not so good, people not too friendly, too family/work oriented... I was in Saigon for some of the time and then Phu Quoc island. Admittedly it was the off-season July - August so the weather was kinda messed up... I prefer India, Sri Lanka, Thailand... Thx for posting and good luck!
Most people that complain about the food aren't familiar with it so they don't know what to order nor how to eat it properly. I always recommend food tours in each city...heck do several from different companies in the bigger cities or touristy ones. I'm surprised you'd choose India...I surely wouldn't go there as a woman unless I enjoy harassment and groping. Sounds like you prefer the warmer climes...if you want to see majestic beauty then head to northern Vietnam. Check out videos from Jaychel, "Sammy and Tommy", "Adventures of A+K", "Shot in the Dark Travel", and "TheDailyPackers"...especially if you want to head north.
Thailand is wonderful but in the last year's is too “exspensive“ and tay people are loosing there smile. They are luky becouse they are out of monson season little bit .
Living here in Phuket Thailand I agree the cost of living has increased and affecting locals more than foreigners, I volunteer for SOS Thailand Foundation in food recovery and support for communities so see it on the front line
Quando lavoravo per Hilton potevo soggiornare gratis in alcuni hotel. Ora ovviamente non più, pero grazie a questo canale RUclips ogni tanto faccio questi video, in cambio di qualche notte.

I agree with you Gabi! I am in love with Vietnam and it's my retirement plan. Too expensive to retire in Australia. I also love Vietnamese culture, food and people.
That’s great to hear 😉 I wish you a great time retiring in Vietnam 🇻🇳
I have noticed people in Vietnam are more humble and simple.

Superb looking forward to explore Da Nang and stay in this property

Omg the view. Very beautiful and I love that in SE Asia they give you 2 water bottles for free.
Yea the view is stunning 🤩
Welcome Gabi, I am Vietnamese
Currently in Da Nang. I agree, it's the next big thing in SE Asia! Will be here til next week. We might bump into each other :D Stay safe!
great video ❤
I like the way you took the Taxi Driver out for lunch at the Agra. Gabi you should do this in each city as part of your food tasting
Hoi An felt like a tourist trap. Unless I missed something I saw no reason to go there again.
Da Nang on the other hand was beautiful. The beach surrounded by the mountains was awesome.
Great video and the views from the Hiltonare just awesome 😊😊 But must ask the cost of the apartment.
Wow 🤩 I gotta go here magnificent beach view 😊
Awesome Gabi.
Still I would like to see you in an ecolodge or a hotel with a SOUL! Those luxury hotels look all the same!
Watching this has made me feel so excited to Visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 we are planning to visit in April as we’re arriving in Hanoi and departing Ho Chi Minh, is this a good time to visit ?
Loving the Hilton xx 😘
Best time in Danang is Jan to August. Sept to November is the monsoon season.
Hello dear Gabi, it hope you get soon again on the bike 🏍.
Vá Hilton👍went to Acopulco 22 year old not so much money then.stewardess for Icelandic airlines.We stayed at Americano hotel.Hilton other side of the road.Spend evenings at Hilton.🤩😁🇮🇸🌺🌿

I agree indeed
Imagine if those hotels get full & all the holidaymakers pile out onto the beach, yikes sardine time. Also too high up for me.😮
didn't you say Hilton kept you hostage in dubai? I'm confused
The entire hospitality industry in Dubai was operating like this in 2010.
I heard that things are changing now.
Overall I grew a lot with hilton hotels. But it’s also true that it was a traumatic experience for me in Dubai
When you sit out on the balcony, is your experience completely private, or can you see other neighbors in adjacent rooms on their nearby balconies?
Can you make a video on Ba Na Hills? It's seems quite interessting :)
Here it is 😉 ruclips.net/video/ywEhawO0s94/видео.html
How far is from airport
Hi Gabi did you go or went yet to Burma? I’m curious about that country …. ftom your point of view I meant x 🙏😊
And while in Danang check out Ba Na Hills. Nice afternoon/evening activity. They've built some amazing stuff up there
I visited last year, I also made a video ruclips.net/video/ywEhawO0s94/видео.html

Huh? Most young vietnamese speak english. Its part of education system
No offence.. It's my first hand experience, we were for 10days in 3cities.. Saigon, Nha Trang and Da lat..
Vietnam have a great cuisine.
Are you kidding? Vietnamese food is delicious, maybe your palate is only used to spicy food.
Hi Gabbi hope you are well. do you know the situation with taking a Vietnamese registered motorbike over the border to Laos/Cambodia and back again? thanks Brian.
Gabi, would you recommend riding over to Vietnam (I guess thru Cambodia) or flying and renting a decent bike when there?
Unfortunately you can’t ride into Vietnam, unless is an organized bike tour.
The best thing is to rent a bike here. In the next 2 video I will rent a Honda cb500x and ride to Hue. I will share also the contact of the rental shop
@@ridewithgabi perfect, thanks Gabi 😊
gaby querido pasate por el buffet vegano y vegetariano que esta cerca de el hotel , 100 k es increible!
Aww I didn’t know about it. I already left. Next time 😉 thank you for sharing
Could you make a video around new Visa opportunities in VT?
Sounds like visa rules in Philippines?
Monsun Season - think Rain 90% for 6 month 🙈 but not 100% sure 🤔
Thanks
Gabi, Do you know if there is condos for rent like in Thailand?
Yes you can easily rent condos in Da Nang
A lot of those hotels are condos also. Top floors are condos . Bottom floors hotel rooms.
I went to Da Nang about 25 years ago,it was a tiny place. If my memory serves there were 3 or 4 beach front places with a few bungalows on each. The whole place smelled of rotting fish as the main street had vat upon vat of fermenting fish for the famous Da Nang fish sauce. How times have changed 😁
I much prefer local hotels than high rise chain hotels they spoil the ambience and view of beautiful beach resorts.
The best place in vietnam is in the north 🙃
Gabi are you Italian?
Yes :)
where is the best massaaaaage na kaaaaaaaaaa!!?!!
I agree with you, but this is unfortunately a paradox. Since Vietnam is in this developed but cheap sweetspot right now, more and more tourist and expats are gonna flow in as you said.

Great when ya not paying 😅

Hello
Guanwaterfallxi hotel
Why is Thailand very special 😂😂
sun sand sea sex
It’s just special 😁
Special cuz of escorts and girl rental services
Just another concrete jungle like Mallorca 😢
Again, another great video! My only thing that keeps me from going to Vietnam, is... how much of the time do you have to deal with the fact that they eat cats and dogs? And consume rhino horn ;-(
