@@Willtravelzthe more videos I see of Da Nang, the more I ‘m thinking of visiting there at least for starters. I saw one video of the Vinhomes on the other side of the river (don’t ask me where, I can’t find the video) but very well priced and gorgeous place
A one week food supply normally costs me $100. Living in a small apartment in California, I paid $443 for my last month gas/electricity bill, and I most of the time tried to avoid using my AC during the peak hours (16:00-21:00). It usually costs me about $250/month. I think I can live my best life there in DaNang.
dude i live in Oslo Norway... 3200$ just my house bills, 1200$ food, 400$ gas.......... IM LOOKING FOR A WAY OUR OF THIS CRAZYNESS, flying down to Da Nang and Bangkok in december to plan a permanent escape from Norway....

When choosing a pineapple, pick the ones that are more green ish, squeeze the bottom portion, if it's green and not soft on the bottom is good2go However, if you plan on eating the whole pineapple in 2 days then pick one that's more yellow
I never knew there was a secret to it. I think when I picked out the one in the video I went for the more yellow one not sure why but I will look for a green one next time.
@@Willtravelz keep in mind pineapple goes bad quickly because they are high acidic fruits that's why many people can't eat it, also that's why I mentioned green one is better because you can eat it during 3-4 days
@@yamuiemata yeah my pineapple usually only last about 3 days. I like to eat pineapple. Plus I cook with it so it doesn't last much longer than 3 days. It's great that pineapple is basically just a little over a dollar here.
Vietnam is one of the leading producers and exporters of consumer electronics in the world in 2023. Vietnam is the second largest exporter of garment and footwear in the world after China. More than 60% of Nike and Adidas' global products are manufactured in Vietnam. Vietnam is also the largest producer and exporter of agricultural products in Southeast Asia. Vinamilk and TH True Milk are the two largest organic milk producers in Southeast Asia. Vietnam in 2022 is the 7th largest trading partner of the US (123,86 billions USD) after China, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Korea, Germany above many US allies such as the UK, France, Italy, Australia, etc. and is also the 5th largest trading partner of China (230 billion USD) after the US, Japan, Korea and Russia. Clothing, footwear, fresh foods and consumer electronics with the "made in Vietnam" brand are very cheap in Vietnam.
@@84jordie I literally seen that. It was only about 20 cents or 30 cents cheaper. But despite that I'm picky with my ketchup. Only ketchup I can eat is Heinz. 🤣
Great video. I am a subscriber 😊 and started following your day to day life in da Nang. I am planning to visit da Nang in November and spend about 5 months. Escaping winter from Toronto Canada 😊🤣 Question: do you have service where you help people like me find an apartment in that town? Also it will be nice if you can provide service of consultation and finding a place to live. These are good side hustles 😊
I have got a bunch of requests asking why I don't offer a service here in da nang where I show people around give them tips and advice on where to stay or what to do basically like an orientation of the city. I have really thought about doing that because I have learned a lot being here also traveling the past 5 years. And I'm very budget conscious so if I can figure out a way to do that I probably would. I need to look into that for sure.
@@drhoffman yes they have tons of those small, good bakeries here. That's the main one I go to. I also have a main banh mi spot that I go to in my neighborhood as well..
So my favorite was Dominika that is the one that I was too late to put down a deposit. The second apartment that I looked at was called pura vida. That was the cheapest option at right around $300 a month. The apartment I'm currently staying at is called Muong thanh I've been there on and off for about a year. Look out for my new apartment video that I'm going to be uploading in about a day or so I have a few other apartments that I checked out I think you'll be interested.
@@dundas666 I really appreciate that. I'm actually in the process of uploading my new video so it should be up in the next few hours or sooner. Keep an eye out for it
@@sanjuanlaunionvlog I actually have that video that should be getting posted in the next week or so. But it's definitely the cheapest City that I've lived in by far. And I actually spend a little more than most people do on rent here and I still only spend $750 at the most oer month for everything. But I'll post that new budget video really soon.
It's normal that imported foods are expensive. I am Vietnamese living in Canada and the prices of imported foods are crazy as well: . Dragon fruit $4.99 each and rarely it's fresh . 40 gr of cashew $3.99
@@thumtlnguyen3626 yep exactly I've learned that traveling all around Asia. Dairy, Western products as well as usually beef that kind of stuff is always more expensive in Asia compared to USA. But then on the flip side you can get local food for so cheap.
@@SPSquirtleactually I find most of the stuff cheaper at Moon milk than the majority of stores around here. The one exception of what's cheaper elsewhere that I found is ground beef which I showed in this video. All the other meats are cheaper at Moon milk than the butcher shop. But for some reason the ground beef is cheaper at the butcher shop. Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and make a comment. 👍👍
@@Willtravelz I have been in Da Nang since lateJune but enjoy watching other’s perspectives on this great place. Going on my first border run in a few weeks, Fly to Bangkok or do the Bus thing from Lynn Visa?! Still trying to decide
@@DaNangadventurer so I've actually done both last year I was actually doing a flight border run to Bangkok every single month before they brought in the 90-day Visa. About a month and a half ago I did the bus run to Laos. So basically they're almost the same price but the bus run is better only if you want to come back the same day. If you don't mind staying in Bangkok for 3 or 4 days until you get the new evisa then do that. But if you want to get everything done in the same day do the bus run.
Wait….are you currently staying at the MỪƠNG THANH LUXURY DA NANG Apartment??? I heard that a 2/2 cost around $550 US….is that where you are?? Is it QUIET there? YOU GOT YOURSELF A NEW SUBSCRIBER 🎉🎉👍
Yep that's where I'm saying. That's exactly what I pay including water electricity internet Wi-Fi and Netflix. I negotiated good where I didn't need to put down a security deposit and I'm on a month-to-month contract. Also I included having electricity built into the rent cost.
Last year I left in September. I'm going to be here all the way till January this year. Usually September through January is the rainy season not sure how much rain there will be this year, but it definitely won't be as hot and expect some rain.
Where do you make a cheap border run? Obviously we cannot pre-fill a visa prior to leaving V, so how many days you do your visa run? And where’s cheap: Thank u
Basically the two real options is taking a flight from here to Bangkok the last time I did that it cost me $130 round trip. You would have to wait in Bangkok 3 to 5 days to get your new EVisa. You could pay an agent to expedite it same day for an additional 50 or $60 I believe it is. Your second option is to take a bus from here to Laos almost the same price but you get everything done in one day basically get on the bus at 6:00 in the morning and return back by 6:00 at night.
@@samueldavis2327 Yes I will be doing that shortly It will be coming out very soon. I'm actually going to do some apartment hunting this next week so stay tuned and look out for those videos.
I believe the beef that I get is non imported. Or at least the cost difference isn't much. So far the butcher shop in the video has been the cheapest ground beef I can find around the neighborhood.
I was wondering what you’re doing there anyway? I’m gonna have to look at your videos and see if I can figure it out but I’m about ready to try it out for myself. I’m 60 years old. Been wanting to do this for the longest time but in Mexico But seeing all these videos about Thailand and Vietnam Bali, I want to experience that too
@@KarenLedesma-w8i yep I know. Which is why I'm very happy with how cheap it is to live here in Da Nang Vietnam. Basically all my bills every month come out to be less than $750 a month.
@@KarenLedesma-w8i I actually work online but I'm in the process of possibly making a move next year. I will make a video of it soon. I've been to 9 countries in Europe and nine countries in Asia, I really like Thailand especially Bangkok but it definitely cost more in Thailand than here in Da Nang.
Dairy is more expensive because they don't have cows. I think they have hybrid cows/water buffalos that can handle the heat and that is where domestic beef comes from. I don't think dairy cows can handle the heat so that's probably all imported, unless they have them in the far northern part of Vietnam.
Yep that's a big part of the reason why beef is not so cheap. Pork and chicken is much cheaper. But throughout the world pork and chicken is always cheaper than beef as well.
the cost of feeding cows is much higher than feeding pigs or chickens, fishes here then even local beef, dairy cows get higher price than imported pigs, chicken...but the local dairy milk like Vinamilk is quite cheap compared to imported milk. They have a big cow farm factory in the plateau of North VN n they are also a billion dollar stock company. The price in VN now compared to 20 years ago was much more reasonable to local ppl for daily cost living.
So in the past I've always left by September. This year I'll actually be here all the way to the end of the year. So everyone says that rainy season is from September to basically December or early January. But we've had very little rain so far. That would be the rainiest time I just don't know how much rain is actually going to come this year. Some locals believe there's going to be a good amount of rain and some locals think that there's not going to be that much rain. So it's really hard to tell. But it will not be as humid and hot during that time as earlier in the year. Also the rumor is you get better rental prices at that time
They actually just raised the price of eggs a couple weeks ago. But they are still very cheap the cost one dozen eggs is 36,000 vnd or $1.40. and the ground beef of course is from cows. At the butcher shop they even have imported beef from Australia and New Zealand and a few other places that you can purchase.
My apartment is about 70 square meters or about 800 sq ft. I have a full size kitchen with full size refrigerator two burners on the stove a microwave and everything else. I pay $550 US Dollars which includes rent electricity internet Netflix.
@@Willtravelz Awesome. Im in Bali and want to do a RUclips channel to teach Indonesian kids how to speak English, buut my agesnts are telling me I'm not allowed to even if I have started a business here. I'll do it in Vietname, eh.
Hi Will, do you have to pay cash for everything or can you use card payments? How do you pay for your rent? Can you pay by direct debit? Do you have to have a Vietnamese bank account or do you use a Wise Card? Talk to me about money Will please.
Myself personally 99% of the time I just use cash. Some places do accept card but I just usually have cash on me and it's much more easier and simple. They use an app out here called zalo. I don't have it and I don't use it but everything I practically buy including my rent I pay in cash. But at the bigger stores you could pay with debit card too.
yeah in asia, we considred the cheese, milks, cream as premium, because that's not kind of a staple food here that people consume everyday. Most of Asians will have different meals, and it cheaps. Unlike for westerners, milk, cheese thats an everyday staple meal that they consumed daily. But yeah, thats the downside. coz i love milk. and cheese. :(
@@besovereign2032 from my perspective I don't know but I get around fine with English here. Most people I interact with speak English for basic needs. If not pointing or Google translate works. I just know how to say hello and thank you.
This past month I spent $720 a month by myself. If I downgrade to a one-bedroom from this two bedroom I can get that down to about $550. I just posted a monthly budget for two people two months ago.
@@enzos711 I have not been there. I'm just about to upload two new cities that I went to recent. Hue and quy nhon. The one city that I haven't been to yet that I am interested in is Nha Trang.

@@enzos711 I have heard that they have a better Beach I don't know for a fact. But talking to other people they said the Life style the people the food the price is better in Danang. I will probably get down to nha trang one day. But I really like Danang more.
in Asia always have something cheap but are not sure about hygiene They also have some luxury high-end products, but based on your money in the West I'm not sure have any cheap quality ???
@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub actually they do have more luxury condos as well I might do a video showing those. They are definitely cheaper than the United States but they're probably about double the price that I'm paying now in that range. I've never been sick here eating any food while traveling also. So I would say for myself I've been happy with everything here.
@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub like I said I've never got sick in any country I've ever been in actually nine countries in Europe nine in Asia. I eat a lot of street food in Asia even in Vietnam and I've never got sick.
@@JackVoorheis nice. I would recommend joining the danang expat group and posting your requirements, or actually walking into apartments in person that you like and asking. Or you could always look in agoda or Airbnb. 👍👍
@@randyxray4404 there's basically only two options either fly out of the country and wait 3 to 5 days to get a new EVISA to return. Or you could take a bus to Laos and leave early in the morning and come back that same night. I have done both of those options already
@@enzos711 shoot I didn't know I missed that. But how I found the apartment I been at for a while was by joining Facebook ex pat group in the city. Then I left a post on the group. A bunch of people messaged me and I negotiated with the owner and got a nice deal. The other apartments you seen k. The video I literally walked down the street and asked if they had anything available in my budget or I googled apartments in the neighborhood I'm staying in.
It's very crazy how expensive it is some of the stuff that I used to get cheap in the USA are so expensive here. But then you go to a local restaurant and get good food for like $2. 😅

@@KarenLedesma-w8i I actually work online but I'm in the process of possibly making a move next year. I will make a video of it soon. I've been to 9 countries in Europe and nine countries in Asia, I really like Thailand especially Bangkok but it definitely cost more in Thailand than here in Da Nang.
Dairy is more expensive because they don't have cows. I think they have hybrid cows/water buffalos that can handle the heat and that is where domestic beef comes from. I don't think dairy cows can handle the heat so that's probably all imported, unless they have them in the far northern part of Vietnam.
Yep that's a big part of the reason why beef is not so cheap. Pork and chicken is much cheaper. But throughout the world pork and chicken is always cheaper than beef as well.
the cost of feeding cows is much higher than feeding pigs or chickens, fishes here then even local beef, dairy cows get higher price than imported pigs, chicken...but the local dairy milk like Vinamilk is quite cheap compared to imported milk. They have a big cow farm factory in the plateau of North VN n they are also a billion dollar stock company. The price in VN now compared to 20 years ago was much more reasonable to local ppl for daily cost living.
@@gigigap6025 yea I noticed that is true.
Question Will, I’m is Vietnam in mid October - I want to check out Danang but worried about the rain, is it worth going that time of year ? Thanks
So in the past I've always left by September. This year I'll actually be here all the way to the end of the year. So everyone says that rainy season is from September to basically December or early January. But we've had very little rain so far. That would be the rainiest time I just don't know how much rain is actually going to come this year. Some locals believe there's going to be a good amount of rain and some locals think that there's not going to be that much rain. So it's really hard to tell. But it will not be as humid and hot during that time as earlier in the year. Also the rumor is you get better rental prices at that time
@@Willtravelz thanks for the reply
👍💛
Cost of 1 dozen pasture raised eggs? Is the beef from Cows?
They actually just raised the price of eggs a couple weeks ago. But they are still very cheap the cost one dozen eggs is 36,000 vnd or $1.40. and the ground beef of course is from cows. At the butcher shop they even have imported beef from Australia and New Zealand and a few other places that you can purchase.
How big is your apartment and you have kitchen for what price
My apartment is about 70 square meters or about 800 sq ft. I have a full size kitchen with full size refrigerator two burners on the stove a microwave and everything else. I pay $550 US Dollars which includes rent electricity internet Netflix.
Personal question. What do you do for work? I'm thinking of coming up.
Only RUclips. Just got monetized last month.
@@Willtravelz Awesome. Im in Bali and want to do a RUclips channel to teach Indonesian kids how to speak English, buut my agesnts are telling me I'm not allowed to even if I have started a business here. I'll do it in Vietname, eh.
Hi Will, do you have to pay cash for everything or can you use card payments? How do you pay for your rent? Can you pay by direct debit? Do you have to have a Vietnamese bank account or do you use a Wise Card? Talk to me about money Will please.
Myself personally 99% of the time I just use cash. Some places do accept card but I just usually have cash on me and it's much more easier and simple. They use an app out here called zalo. I don't have it and I don't use it but everything I practically buy including my rent I pay in cash. But at the bigger stores you could pay with debit card too.
yeah in asia, we considred the cheese, milks, cream as premium, because that's not kind of a staple food here that people consume everyday. Most of Asians will have different meals, and it cheaps. Unlike for westerners, milk, cheese thats an everyday staple meal that they consumed daily. But yeah, thats the downside. coz i love milk. and cheese. :(
@@sunflowerboooost yeah it's crazy how just regular stuff like that is expensive
Hey what's the benefit of learning Vietnamese at a school? Is there any real benefit for the cost?
@@besovereign2032 from my perspective I don't know but I get around fine with English here. Most people I interact with speak English for basic needs. If not pointing or Google translate works. I just know how to say hello and thank you.
Can you comment on how much you spend in total monthly expenses ?? Please and thank you. 😎🌎🇵🇦🇺🇸🤙
This past month I spent $720 a month by myself. If I downgrade to a one-bedroom from this two bedroom I can get that down to about $550. I just posted a monthly budget for two people two months ago.
Have you been to Nha Trang, and if so which place would you prefer to live ..
@@enzos711 I have not been there. I'm just about to upload two new cities that I went to recent. Hue and quy nhon. The one city that I haven't been to yet that I am interested in is Nha Trang.
@@Willtravelz Vagabond Awake (non stop world traveler Vlogger) has Nha Trang @ #2 (behind Ubud) for SE Asia Best Places to Live .. He's got Da nang @ #4, behind Koh Samui .. I know he's Big on Beaches (I'm not) ..
@@enzos711 I have heard that they have a better Beach I don't know for a fact. But talking to other people they said the Life style the people the food the price is better in Danang. I will probably get down to nha trang one day. But I really like Danang more.
@@Willtravelz much more to do in Da Nang, the beach side hotels in Nha Trang are higher quality and cheaper than Da Nang tho so I'll give them that
in Asia always have something cheap but are not sure about hygiene They also have some luxury high-end products, but based on your money in the West I'm not sure have any cheap quality ???
@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub actually they do have more luxury condos as well I might do a video showing those. They are definitely cheaper than the United States but they're probably about double the price that I'm paying now in that range. I've never been sick here eating any food while traveling also. So I would say for myself I've been happy with everything here.
@@Willtravelz I'm talking about food and normal things not about the condos !__!, overprice anyway.
@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub like I said I've never got sick in any country I've ever been in actually nine countries in Europe nine in Asia. I eat a lot of street food in Asia even in Vietnam and I've never got sick.
I’m in Da Nang right now looking for 30 day apartment
@@JackVoorheis nice. I would recommend joining the danang expat group and posting your requirements, or actually walking into apartments in person that you like and asking. Or you could always look in agoda or Airbnb. 👍👍
@@Willtravelz I got my Facebook account, hacked and suspended. I wish I could join the group.
@@JackVoorheis get another one?
Where can I find a good Visa strategy since we have to leave every 3 months?
@@randyxray4404 there's basically only two options either fly out of the country and wait 3 to 5 days to get a new EVISA to return. Or you could take a bus to Laos and leave early in the morning and come back that same night. I have done both of those options already
You never mentioned "where" (how) you find the Apartments ..
@@enzos711 shoot I didn't know I missed that. But how I found the apartment I been at for a while was by joining Facebook ex pat group in the city. Then I left a post on the group. A bunch of people messaged me and I negotiated with the owner and got a nice deal. The other apartments you seen k. The video I literally walked down the street and asked if they had anything available in my budget or I googled apartments in the neighborhood I'm staying in.
Danang landlords is another option they’re on you tube
@@johnmontgomery3725 Thanks ..
hey, tell us about how you get money
Normally I teach English online. As of now I'm not currently teaching.

Wow.. sour cream is so expensive. My BF likes to Make french Onion dip with it. Its also about the same price here in the Philippians
It's very crazy how expensive it is some of the stuff that I used to get cheap in the USA are so expensive here. But then you go to a local restaurant and get good food for like $2. 😅
