When are the best 3 months to visit Da Nang, Jose? 😁
@@goodnews6259 thanksnso much! I'd say February-April!
Thanks to u I am gonna go on vacation here. I was looking for a beach destination and this is perfect tysm❤
@@JooseTheNomad thank you so much! I heard some people say March-May... and some February-March
@@Car_Fanatic enjoy🙏🏽
Wow, I spend $7,500 per month as a single male in Santa Barbara California. Just gas, food, gym and rent. No drinking or going out. Contemplating quitting this nonsense
A growing trend it seems
Yeah that's insane🤯
Same in Dallas 😢😮
@@ImUniqueBella Can't believe it😳
US is doomed
I came to Danang after seeing some of your videos before. Been here for a month got 6 more weeks to go! Love it, keep up the good videos!
Awesome man! Thanks, enjoy the rest of your time here🙏🏽
Vietnamese here. Living in Vietnam on $1000 per month is possible, but only if you are single and have no social life, no dating, and no weekend hangouts ...etc. Additionally, don't forget to save money for an emergency flight back, as there is no healthcare aid available.
No healthcare?
The quality of the video is fantastic,we love it so much and thanks for your hard work
Thanks so much!🙏🏽
thanks to your videos, thinking of going there for a month or two. very useful info
Glad to hear🙏🏽
My wife and I own an upscale 1200-square-foot condo in a high-rise above a mall in Metro Manila, Philippines, and a nice home in Oregon, USA. My wife and I are snowbirds, and we divide our time between the Philippines and the United States. When it gets too cold in Oregon, usually towards the middle to late part of October, we lock our house up and go to the Philippines. When it gets too hot in the Philippines, usually toward the end of March, we return to the United States, and the cycle continues. My wife and I really enjoyed your video and just subscribed to your channel. Our plan is to start traveling to different parts of Asia and hope to learn from your experiences.
That's great to hear! Thank you, I hope you enjoy your travels! There so much to see and experience in Asia😍
Great plan, thinking of doing similar! I live in Portland OR.
how much does a good apartment cost in Manila near green mall.. per m2?
How old are you?
@@Captain_Tiger depending upon where you live, and the size of your condo about $500.00 to $1,000+a month
Very helpful

The last time I saw Danang was looking out the window of a freedom bird in 71.l am glad the place looks so good and I wish them well.
Love Da Nang so much !!!
Thanks for your vid
My pleasure😊🙏🏽
Sold! Good overview video!
Thanks!
Fantastic video as always. So great there.
Thanks so much🙏🏽 It really is!
I loved it there, wow it was nearly 10 years ago for me! I went there in 2015, at that time it was up and coming, great food, now it looks complete and would love to visit again
Nice hahah yeah it's crazy that 2015 was so long time ago😂 It's still kinda up and coming but yeah I saw some Google Maps street view from 8 years ago and it looked so empty compared to now!
Great video!
Thank you!
Very nice job on your vids.. lol I like the fact you put wifi speed every few minutes
Hahahah thanks🙏🏽
Love the 21 grams. Yummy, healthy and beautifully presented food
Dragon Ball bar wonderful to watch the dragon show. They have nice drinks
Yeah it's really nice! Oh I definitely need to check that out too, thanks🙏🏽
great video. love from Iran
Thanks🙏🏽
Thank you for the informative video, Joose. Got a few years before retirement and looking for cheap affordable places to trod around. Liked and subbed. Will check out your other videos.
Spend almost all my time working on projects I love in my hometown. Everything I want and need is right here. But I do like watching videos like this and fantasizing what it would be like living a carefree life in a vacation paradise. Thanks for showing us around!
It's good to try it out at least🙏🏽
Nice video!
Thank you!
@@JooseTheNomad looking forward to going back to Vietnam!!
@@kasiainwonderland enjoy🍜
Just had only 2 days in Da Nang & it was the most hectic beautiful & wonderful time I ever had in
Vietnam including visits to Hoi An & Sunworld Ba Na Hills on the motorcycle plus I still had money in my wallet when I returned to Australia. I’m coming back in 2025, it will be 50 years since the war ended & time to celebrate what Vietnam has become, PARADISE. 🇻🇳🇦🇺
Amazing🙏🏽
Excellent Review 💯 👍
Thank you!
Been here a few times now, and I'm always amazed by how friendly everyone is and how budget-friendly it is - I love Da Nang!
Yeah it's really nice😊
Ur the best travel guide nomad channel on earth man. Keep it up plz❤
Thanks so much🙏🏽🙏🏽
your videos make me visit this place next year!
Just looks so nice there
Glad to hear🙏🏽
Great Video !
Thank you!
Good work! Greetings from Germany 😎
Thank you🙏🏽
Such an insightful and inspiring video! It's amazing to see how far you can stretch $1000 a month in Da Nang, Vietnam. Your tips and experiences are truly valuable for anyone considering a budget-friendly lifestyle. Keep up the great content!
Thanks so much man🙏🏽
Your videos are fantastic! We’re coming to Vietnam from June - August. Likely will spend a majority of it in Da Nang.
Thanks so much! Hope you know it's gonna be very hot, but enjoy🙏🏽
maybe the best presentation of Da Nang i have seen so far
THANKS SO MUCH INFORMATION🙏🙏 💯💯❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾
You're welcome😊🙏🏽
Hi joose, every since I found your channel, I've been watching it non stop, it's amazing. I also have asked my gf to watch it aswell? Quick question I am planning to go to Dan nang in late Dec early Jan will that time be OK? As I heard its still rainy season, 2nd question what is that name of that room u stayed at for 484 dollars on air b n b it looks amazing
Thanks so much!🙏🏽 Glad to hear! I think it's okay but not so warm that time. Sorry I can't share it here but you'll find it and similar places on Airbnb around My An😊
im gonna go there because of you in september, wish me luck
Nice! Good luck with the weather🙏🏽
@@JooseTheNomad oh idc about the weather, my mission is to move out from Poland, try to be a youtuber, UX or programmer - i want to make my life as project, because life is boring after covid
@@letmesay2035 nice yeah it's a good place for that! Good luck with that too😊
@@JooseTheNomad what is the weather in September there ? Bad ?
@@davidbrown4271 could be a bit rainy and hot but maybe not too bad
Looks so good definitely will want to go and visit.
It's so nice indeed!
well done video thanks.
Thanks🙏🏽
The dragon bridge is cool. It’s missing the flaming pearl. Nice video.👍🏻
Thanks🙏🏽
I lived very well in Danang for $750/month
I like that you discuss gyms and healthy things to eat/do. We are super fitness health oriented couple.
Glad to hear🙏🏽
Great breakdown and I like how you had the list of items being filled in as the video played. I passed through Da Nang in 2015 and am thinking about visiting in November 2024. It seems so much more upbeat than HCMC.
Thanks! November maybe a bit rainy? But yes definitely much nicer than HCMC
November is a rainy month here, the best weather here is from January to April.
Cool video. Are you meeting nice people in Da Nang, or is it kind of lonely? Also, what's your current preferred filming setup (tripod/microphone/camera)? Thanks!
Thanks! I am definitely, lots of good people here this year😊 Iphone 15 pro with DJI mic!
@@JooseTheNomad What do you use for a tripod for those shots when you are standing in front of the camera?
@@earnheartgold just a random tripod from Amazon😄
@@JooseTheNomad Like a selfie stick tripod, or like a normal tripod with 3 fully extending legs? A full tripod must be kind of a pain to carry around on your motor scooter, and to walk around with, right?

folks good video. cool guy.
LISTEN: i worked ex pat for 15yrs. retired ex pat for 4 yrs. i lived for years in cambodia and thailand.
do NOT buy into any video that says you can live there (asia) for $1000 per month. PI, thailand or where ever. yes, IF you want to live a limited lifestyle and "squeeze" by each month.
OK-
IF you are there for 3 months and limit you activity's..eat only local food, bare bone room (maybe no AC) OR if you rent a condo you have to keep the AC off for 80% of the time to make "your" 1K budget work. go out a few times a month. not ever or every other month.
IF you are there for long term you will want a life. yes it is 50, 60% less that the US but you still have expences. a signfican part is where you live. i am not as familar with vietnam as i am with thailand.
in thailand you want bangkok? that is higher. chang mai (beautiful) much lower. korat (thai city) ever much much lower.
i did not even watch the complete video here.
very few speak of medical insurance in there "$1000" to live on video.
you will need that. IF it is for 3 months you can get a travel policy. IF you are really Ex pat you need a Expat policy (12months+). mine is very, very good..covers everywhere but the US and is about $250 per month.
you want to get injured and lay in thai government hospital with a 75yoa thai doctor that does not speak one word of english treating you?. those hospitals are suppose to be for thai's only and you still will get a bill OR Bumrungrad in Bangkok. world class, western trained doctors with your insurance.
vietnam might be less expensive. from what i hear they do not offer a retirement visa yet.
i would bet on for one person: $1700--$1800 for a decent, good lifestyle. yes can go lower or higher (see aboe).
folks, this could be a good guy here. i now saw a video for cambodia going down to $500 per month.
most of it is click bait. the person watching see's such a low number, clicks the video..producer makes $ and numbers advertising something that, for the most part, is not sustainable or truth..
enjoy.
AGREED. I ASKED ABOUT MEDICAL. THANK YOU.
@tailwind12...remember that for 1700-1800 a month you can't get a studio apartment (forget parking) in N.Y. or San Fransisco!
May I ask who you use for your Expat insurance? I'm considering the move too. Thanks.
Summer is coming, enjoy
I know I won't see a Joose video without ice baths LOL
Place really does seem amazing!
Haahahaa that's how it's supposed to be imo👀
Da Nang is the best city!!!!! Cannot wait to be back, but this time will stay for a few months!!!! Hope you having amazing time there!
Nice!! Yeah I am but leaving soon, also coming back for few months again next year😄
And one of the best thing in Vietnam is their people....vietnamese people are literally the best people in the world🥰
Yeah they're super nice, but often don't speak english😄
@@JooseTheNomad thats true thou🤭
Depends... it's a high context culture, unlike the west. The idea of 'saving face' is important here. That creates all kinds of communication problems with Westerners.
It depends,some vendors charge the tourists overpriced products/items/foods
Cambodian people are even better!
I like your videos! Planning a 2 month visit to Vietnam. Da Nang is now on the list. Young US couple.
Thanks! Da Nang is the best😎
So beautiful and so much agreement! ❤🙏
😊🙏🏽
I live in the US and my monthly costs (single person) is $2,600.00 (Mortgage $1480, Groceries $300, Subscriptions/phone $190, Transportation $540, Utilities $120 = $2,620 for BASIC, my entertainment budget (going out, dates, movies, concerts, etc. = $800 per month) so for a life with some fun I spend $3,420 per month.
doubt your Transportation is more than gas+upkeep (insurance, registration), what about replacement= auto loan? you should be saving 10% too.
@@larrywillard844 that includes my auto loan
Headed there for three months in August 🎉🎉🎉
You know it's rainy season right? But enjoy😊🙏🏽
😅 dang it no, shoot. I may swap my three months in Mexico now to beat the rain. Hmm thanks for the info!😊
@@ImUniqueBella isn't it rainy season there too that time?😄
I was there August last year and it was 37c and clear sky's, I think the next month or so the rain comes, maybe only plan for a month then feel it out
@@Belv6 you didn't thinknit was too hot?
I've travelled for extended periods to many parts of the world whilst also working on the road too - but I've never managed to get to Viet Nam yet! Thanks for breaking down the costs here, looks worth while for me to visit for many a month or so
Yes it certainly is!
I went to Da Nang in 2007 and it looks really well developed now!
It really is!
Im impressed with the Vietnamese cuisine mate it looks spot on .
Yeah it's so good!
Da Nang is heaven. Also the vegan Passion Cheese Cake at Ivegan is heaven 😇
Yeah indeed! Nice I should try that one then, thanks🙏🏽
@@JooseTheNomad Prepare to be mind-blown! 😍
@@travelbug4536 😍
@@JooseTheNomad Keep me posted! 🤩
@@travelbug4536it was soooo good, thanks so much fornthe tip😍🙏🏽
Good job!
Thanks🙏🏽
It's my goal to travel to Southeast Asia to live in Vietnam and Thailand for 1-3 months at a time. Thanks for listing the prices of everything. Everything there seems so accessible as opposed to where I live now in San Diego. I'd be really happy living off just $1000-1500 per month in Vietnam/Thailand/Mexico/South America! And I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food, so the low prices are a big highlight.
Sounds good for sure! I also really love Vietnamese food, especially in Vietnam it's so good!
I live in Florida - 15 minutes drive is NOTHING. That Elite gym is 100% worth the money for the amenities
Haha yeah compared to western countries😄🙏🏽
100 A MONTH IS TOO MUCH, YES WORTH IT BUT I WOULD GYM AT A CHEAPER PLACE
I’m worried you’re going to make everyone want to come here lol. Stay in Bali people!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
There's plenty of space here👀 I have more videos from Bali😉
@@JooseTheNomad For sure. The more the merrier 🥂
Yeah, totally agree 😢
@@luisalbertoguanche5245 sorry😢
It already happened. it got drastically busier since last year. pollution is bad since march
My wife is Vietnamese and the last time we were in Da Nang was 5 years ago. We mentioned back then that retiring in Da Nang would be a good option. Its a far cry from the Da Nang I first visited in 1994.
So you don't like the modernization?
1994 vietnam còn bị bao vây cấm vận do giải phóng campuchia dưới sự cai trị của quân đội diệt chủng Ponlpol.
Nice video!! From your experience is it worth going to Da Nang for December holiday during New Year’s? Or weather is not perfect?
The stormy season occurs from September to January 😊
Don't buy sim card in the airport. They are preregistered, so can 1-3 weeks old already and might even already have been used. I tried that mine had already been registered on Zalo app. I never buy in the airport again!
It really sucks they're scamming like that..
yes, just buy it at the phone store
Cost is cheapest and Salary cheapest too
Yep
Yes so thats why we come with western money then its great value😊
Nice video with great info. Thank you.
Thanks🙏🏽
I'll be looking to go to Da Nang when I come visit again...love the affordability
Yeah it's so nice for the price!
the air seems very foggy, is it polluted? sunset is not so clean
People say it's foggy now because of the burning season in South East Asia, not sure..
Không khí, môi trường rất trong lành, không ô nhiễm vì Đà Nẵng là thành phổ biển, dân số không nhiều và chủ yếu phát triển du lịch, không có các ngành công nghiệp nặng.
its been awful since march there. i left last month. friends tell me its a very big problem atm if youre not a smoker and like to be active
@@ktowniecity7269 its a burning smoke or just vehicle fumes?
@@ReigoVilbiks it’s pollution from industry in the North and the other weather. Not burning seasons that’s a misconception
Next Phu Quoc
What's good there?👀
@@JooseTheNomad many things,
Amusement & Theme Parks.
Nature & Wildlife,Cable Car,Prison 1685Historic Sites. Beaches,Temple.
@@Macribian hmm okay thanks. Not sure if it's so good for digital nomads
Hi Joose, love your video format. Keep up the good work. I missed the name of the condo you are staying at? Do you mind sharing?
Thanks man! Sorry can't share it here but you'll be able to find it and similar ones on Airbnb in My An area🙏🏽
What do you do about health insurance? Thanks for the excellent content, this video was so interesting.
Thanks! Travel Insurance I Use:
safetywing.com/?referenceID=TravelingHawks&TravelingHawks&Ambassador
Why dont you show the cons too! Like loud karaoke all night, noise from building construction, pollution.. dont make it crowded 🙏😝
Nah, let them all go to Danang now. It aint what it was pre pandemic. It went back to being chill from 2021-23. This year I noticed how busy it got by just looking at all my previous photos and seeing so many more Indian and Russian tourists. There wasnt one Indian restaurant in DN a few years ago and now they are everywhere!
the cons are also all the douchey digital nomads making vids about Danang being $1000 a month. Seriously, how many vids can you all make on the very same topic??
@@fs5775 Funny & true , they are all at it but kurt caz has a good take on it ..
Full of russians
Hi Joose, love your videos!! Question: can you get a private trainer at the gyms and how much per session? Is this common?
Thanks! There's many PTs at Elite, not sure what's the price
Hola friend 👋🏼👋🏼
Great information thank you so much. We do a monthly budget video, when we moved from the beach it did improve. We are looking at different options for retirement, we are currently in Xalapa Veracruz Mexico. Take care brother and God Bless. 🙏🏼❤️
SShhhhh! Don't tell everybody! 🤫
Hahha other people told already👀
@@JooseTheNomad Darn it! I♥Da Nang!
@@travelbug4536 I think there's planty of space for many of us😇
@@JooseTheNomad I dunno. Right now, the prices are too good to be true because it's a Vietnamese holiday destination. I think we should enjoy it while it lasts! 💖
@@travelbug4536 that's true as well🙏🏽
I think airbnb sponsors these guys. Because air bnb is the worst. Horrible rates, no weekly cleaners. No laundry machines and low standarda
Why you hate Airbnb?😂 I wish I got paid by them but I don't. The rates and cleaning is not set by Airbnb but the hotel? Again, where should I book my stay then please tell me?😄
@@JooseTheNomad find the local agents. Man studio shouldnt be more than 7 million. Rosies a decent one. Think she is pretty full these days but most know her.
Man once you know the real price you will be shocked
@@Creees for just 1 month? I doubt you will find anything during high season as nice and as good location anywhere. And honestly I really wouldn't even care if it's a bit cheaper. I like the safety that comes from booking on Airbnb. But, I challenge you to show me one place with better price :)
Where else do you expect people to safely find a place to stay? Also a lot of places ask that you do a long term contract like 6 months.
@@12VP exactly😄
Great video, what microphone do you use? Appreciate an answer☺️
Thanks! It's the DJI mic😊
Great video, how easy is it to meet fellow backpackers / Nomads in Da nang as a solo traveler ?
It's really easy! I'll talk more about that in the next video
Stop with such video only to make a place expensive after that
?
@@JooseTheNomad😂 basically … keep it a secret I think
@@IstanbulChriss I think that's not in my hands😄
The pollution has been awful since March in DN and the beaches are now overcrowded. You influencers have ruined all the good spots. Happy that I found a place in SEA that doesnt have you ppl in it! (for now)
The beach is definitely not overcrowded😄 95% of the beach is completely empty, and even the busiest area there's not that many people.. Pollution also is probably not a fault of any "influencer"? Not sure why the need for this hate😊
@@JooseTheNomad He could be a Vietnamese war refugee, ignore him, refugees always say bad things about Vietnam.
let them all congregate in Danang lol, keeps em away from the rest of us thank god
@@JooseTheNomad lol wtv you say Bali guy I understand you’re used to be driven off the road in Bali and constantly harassed in tourist traps. DaNang used to be great but you making the same video over and over promoting douchey digital nomads spending their parents money ain’t helping DaNang NOT become Bali.
Its like all the Californians that move to Texas then only vote liberal making it turn into California
What months were you there? The weather looks perfect (sorry if it has been asked already, but you are very popular and have so many comments and replies i can’t find it- GREAT VIDEO)
April! It was really good yes, in the end started to get a bit too hot😄 March-April probably the best. Thank you🙏🏽
Im from Vietnam, live In US very affordable, haircuts near my families house is 1 dong per person! (dong is money in Vietnamese its pronounced dom)
Meals are 3-5 dong. Coffee stores are everywhere here. Every hot, perfect weather at 5-6 pm. Ho chi Minh or Saigon is a whole different level. 😅 in Vietnam there isn't fall or winter. Only spring and summer. But it feels like summer. Sometimes if you're lucky it can be the perfect weather every part of the day.
Awesome video man! Do you think its possible to spend some time there with a toddler? Is it children friendly?
Thanks man! I'm obviously not an expert of the topic but I'd think so, why not?
Great Video! If you only have one option would you rather go to Da Nang or Nha Trang?
Thanks! Da Nang for sure :)
Love this video. Exactly what I've been looking for. Do you connect with people there or how do you deal with loneliness in such a country where u barely know anyone?
Nice video seems to be a perfect setup for a single life 👏🏻
I guess👀
Thanks!
@@JooseTheNomad What you prefer more to live Thailand or Vietnam?
@@IgorBrandt I like both, for me still Canggu, Bali has been the only place where I see myself living long term tho
