@15:00 The different weather is caused by the heavily saturated winterly trade winds, that blow from the north-east towards the small strip of land, named Vietnam, where it cools down and leads to rain. Crossing the border to Laos you reach a higher altitude as the topographical map of that region shows, and clouds get blocked by the mountains.
I suspect you guys did not do this every ?? With those fantastic hotels when ye hit a village with you spend a few days to rest,ye can not keep up this pace .
Because of you my man I have started my own travel vlogging channel, albeit it's quite amateur currently lol. I have also booked Bishkek and Almaty after your videos. I too love the off-the-beaten track countries instead of your Tenerifes and Benidorms 🤣. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great videos!
For those who are curious, us Brits can either have a 15 day entry stamped on arrival into Vietnam or a 1 month visa. Folks from the USA have to apply for a 1 month visa before entering the country. Loving the series Ben! Love Vietnam
@@oilydoubloonz6001 it's the same with other countries and how visas work. USA citizens, from what I remember, don't need a visa to enter Mongolia but UK citizens do. So Vietnam is in no way unique.
@10:50 A recommendation - as a foreigner you should at least learn a few words of the country, that you are going to visit and not rely on the notion, that English is a lingua franca everywhere in the world. With the tragic history of war in Southeast Asia caused by Europeans and North Americans in the last century, it is a good gesture to at least try to speak in their local language and will be seen as a friendly act, that you care for the people in the places you visit. Do not forget, that the school system in most of the Asian countries is not as well developed as in Europe or North America, as people live in poor conditions and even little children have to go for work.
In any country I visited, I always write and memorized: WHERE (especially Restroom when emergency No. 1 calls); HOW MUCH; FOOD; WATER; WHAT (IS THIS? Or name?); BUS STATION; TRAIN STATION. Some more info. in my little notebook. Like when I was in Ho Chi Minh to go to church, I had the hotel staff write how is bring me to church in xxxx (then I wrote how it is pronounced). In Munich at least people speak English, BUT in rural areas, no English so my little German in notes came handy. Also, always bring printed photos for upon Arrival visa applications, photocopies of passport details, plane tickets. What the girl gave you is raw Tamarind, it's really sour. The ripe ones are sweeter.
Ahh some things never change. I’ve covered a lot of Cambodia traveling in the back seat of a hired bike - $3-5 a day back then… great vid as always, sympathise with the challenges you’re going through :)
@@WarPicturesEntertainment so things really don’t change. I was quoting the 1992 prices. If anything, the dollar was much stronger back then. $1 taxi ride across Phnom Penh, $10 a night for a nice hotel room, $15 for a luxurious three-course dinner with wine in a 5-star hotel.
Great video Ben! If you all keep south on QL1A you go through Van Ninh. Me and my wife Thy goat restaurant in Van Ninh. A local Vietnamese girl rents from us. Goat restaurant is across the street from Train Station in Van Ninh. It just local Vietnamese fishermen eat there it may make you a good video. Thank you Capt Phil
I met a guy who drove a motorcycle to Pakse from Vietnam across the border near where you are. He had a map but no compass, so my wife gave him mine! He said there was a lot of guys from the Flemish army de mining the hills of Laos. Minglabarh or something like it is hello in Laosian.
Found you through Bald as well and happy to see you join the crew of bandits associated with Bald. Great entertainment. I first discovered Harold then Bald through Harold, Tim through Bald and Harold, and you through Bald. Happy to come aboard and watch your travels.
Cheers for the vids u bringing back memories. I loved Laos. The Laos Beer I reckon is better than the Vietnam stuff. Have fun stay safe and dont rush home its freezing I would do anything to be back there now. I know u left but u ever go back the railway looks impressive.
5:20 The guy tasked with surveilling you and documenting your every move decides to make an appearance on camera, in case you weren't aware of him and that he needs bribes.
@@karsvanvoorthuizen8696 America is a cesspool in the future your going to have people with felonies and rich people that's it, they hand out felonies like candy here, the revolution is well on it's way, wealthy people can't even go out of their house now without being attacked which is revolutionary however it will not stay that way eventually they're going to build a space station in space, when NASA retires the international space station they said they're going to give the ability for companies to build in space it's going to be bad after that point, if you think that can't happen then you're absolutely low IQ it's actually really easy to build in space because everything's weightless so once you build massive pieces up there they are so easy to move around so you could create a massive space station almost like the movie Elysium except sealed until we have technology like that movie, basically a no crime, no accountability rich people metropolis, if you don't think rich people will leave everyone on this filthy planet of there doing behind your crazy, trust me if they could ever leave this planet they would go to another planet and leave us to die on the planet they've polluted with their greed
@@Sniperboy5551 their is but a bunch of spoiled money only AH, no wonder why other countries look at Americans and just say you know let him stay at that table alone, we are isolated from how the world views us, basically everyone's on the same page worldwide when they're dealing with an American it's pathetic, if I ran into American abroad I would be embarrassed as well, Americans are like children they don't know how stupid they are LMFAO
Wild Wild Laos. Been there this year, amazing people. I think it is a bit tricky for Americans because they dropped some bombs during the Vietnam war ( 80 million still unexploded during black opps )
Mate. I see the language barrier was too much and it can make or break the vibe. In Khe Sanh, that last Vietnamese town. You walked by many "food" places. You refused to eat the chicken just because you saw just the chicken. They probably have soup with chopped up chicken or rice porridge with chicken. Perfectly palatable for a Brit. They like to take the chicken out once it's cooked perfectly. They don't leave it in the broth because it would get overcooked and too soft. They like chicken when it's still a little chewy. I believe you two could have had a more enjoyable experience if you could communicate better in Vietnamese and Lao. Country is Laos. People, food is Lao. You could have asked just simple questions: Where can one eat? "An com o dau?", in Lao : Keen khao yu say? or Han a han yu say?
Well, KFC would be preferable It were supposed to be consistent, enough And there are like one KFC location in that town near the Vietnamese-Chinese border Edit: wrong location
You can use google Translate If you wanna speak with people from other countries. English is not my first language and when I went to London a few years ago I didn't speak English at all and I didn't speak my native language, from my point of view is too rude.
Just been watching a few videos of you and Bald,both of you are hilarious and informative at the same time, in fact you are both that good you wouldn't look out of place on Mainstream TV,in fact you could have your own show entitled ' Bald and Backpackers's Travel Adventures'
I don’t think that Tim gets your humour 😂. Your honest take on things in Vietnam is classic Ben and I don’t think your negative. Just say it how you see it Love it 👍
I believe the girl was pounding some chili flakes with some other ingredient as a dipping powder for the tamarind, and its a very Asian thing, as people across Thailand and Malaysia often do that too. Any sour fruit eaten with spicy dipping 🤤🤤🤤
I just laughed so hard when a kid gave you middle finger, and I'm quite sure I remember from another vlog, another one travelling around Vietnam also had it. Just for you to know, middle finger is not common thing in Vietnam, especially in the countryside. It seems the kids don't even know what it is, but they learnt that from the internet. Hope you don't mind. Nice vlog btw!
17:32, Really choked up on that fork eh? Bro, eating like you are stressed out lol. You gotta eat more than just rice, your teeth are going to start hurting. haha
Hello, I just subscribed to your channel cuz you guys remind me of watching “Top Gear: Vietnam Special”. Can you please tell me the name of your friend’s channel, if he has one as well. Thanks
"Very little English here." Ben, how many people know any Vietnamese in small English towns (or even big cities in England)? For that matter, how many Brits and Americans speak French, Spanish, Italian or German? You, Bald and Tim should learn some basic Vietnamese words and phrases. Anyway, enjoying your Vietnam videos - hats off to you guys for courageously exploring VN by motorbike and braving the rain!
English is the most spoken language around the world, quite commonly countries will teach it as standard. Thats what he meant as its no uncommon to find people can speak it.
I was saying a Vietnamese girl but we would have very little conversation as she didn't know English.... After a year we had to call it off as it was not going anywhere.. Btw am Indian..
Ben, I just looked on Google maps of Ho Chi Minh's city to see where the restaurants are.. well, there are not that many.. I thought there would of been more food joints but seems like the society cook at home and go out and about for other things..
Ben, with all of the apps many have worked hard on for you to be able to communicate with others around the world, USE ONE>.. BIA Beer BiA..... is same in Khmer and Lao....
10:10: Still this British obsession to ask the name of people they meet, even if they don't care😃... Anyway, it's a very good video about the traveller's behaviour ("speak english ? Beer ?"), and Vietnam/Laos border of course
I am not sure what happened between generations on the language barrier? For all the places I have traveled, just a few (18) countries, I found hand gestures are global...such as asking for food, simply use the gesture of "Spooning" to your mouth then point to yourself. Looking for a motel or hostel? Praying hands tilt sideways and lay your head to the side of them. To me simple gestures were common sense and I had no problem getting basics in any country without knowing verbal basics at first. Then I would learn needed words and write down pronunciations in a broken English so I spoke them right. Restrooms, guide, hotel, thank-you...all little words or phrases to make your trip/event carefree...again I don't see why some can't do simple things or where this train of thought was lost. And for the love of God I still think everyone should learn to drive "Standard" shift vehicles to get their license 😉 And I didn't have google or cell phones then..now it should be so much easier to at least know currency conversion, I would never pull out a wad of cash and have them pick what they wanted? I fear the world is doomed for some reason. 😛

Top 5 favourite countries ever
A country you can live in ?
Is Vietnam food hot ????
Why could you only stay 4 hours? and Why don't you use google translate app to communicate?
When are you traveling with Harald Baldr?
There is something called the Rainy Season in SE Asia (as opposed to the less rainy season)... It usually rains during this season.
Rainy season is approximately until November
December is usually very nice in north/central Vietnam. Not as hot and wet as summer
@15:00 The different weather is caused by the heavily saturated winterly trade winds, that blow from the north-east towards the small strip of land, named Vietnam, where it cools down and leads to rain. Crossing the border to Laos you reach a higher altitude as the topographical map of that region shows, and clouds get blocked by the mountains.
There's a great song by Aussie band Cold Chisel which references Khe Sanh, where a battle took place in the Vietnam War.
Can always count on you and Bald to bring sunshine on a rainy day.
I suspect you guys did not do this every ?? With those fantastic hotels when ye hit a village with you spend a few days to rest,ye can not keep up this pace .
Laos seems very relaxed, friendly, and cool. Good little side quest there! Strange how the weather cleared up right at the border.
Bad weather is not allowed in Laos

@5:50 It is for sure a sunburn, as you are 10° to 15° north of the equator. Clouds are permeable to UV light.
Yep I got sunburn on a cloudy day in Tenerife lol
Ben, these travel videos with mates are the best. Keep them coming.
For those who are curious, us Brits can either have a 15 day entry stamped on arrival into Vietnam or a 1 month visa. Folks from the USA have to apply for a 1 month visa before entering the country.
Loving the series Ben! Love Vietnam
This might be a stupid question, but why is that?
@@oilydoubloonz6001 it's the same with other countries and how visas work. USA citizens, from what I remember, don't need a visa to enter Mongolia but UK citizens do. So Vietnam is in no way unique.
Need to see you and Bald in Cambodia. I'm sure you guys will be interested in Cambodia dark history and the Angkor Wat.
Loving the Vietnam videos! 🎉
Loving these videos from Vietnam Ben 👍👍
I enjoyed watching Laos too! Laid-back and friendly people, and it seems easier for you to communicate there 😍
Always great when the two Bens travel together.

Ben is such a nice guy, he deserve a mill subs.. come on everyone share this video and let ur friends family sub to this channel
Can he stop saying "SPEAK ENGLISH" though.
Every English person says that though 😂
No he doesn't. He's a twat!

The comparison is not the same.
English is the most spoken language around the world, quite commonly countries will teach it as standard. Thats what he meant as its no uncommon to find people can speak it.
Go to your local nail salon and you'll find Viet speakers lol
I was saying a Vietnamese girl but we would have very little conversation as she didn't know English.... After a year we had to call it off as it was not going anywhere.. Btw am Indian..
Really interesting French colonial architecture in the background
Ben, I just looked on Google maps of Ho Chi Minh's city to see where the restaurants are.. well, there are not that many.. I thought there would of been more food joints but seems like the society cook at home and go out and about for other things..
Ben, with all of the apps many have worked hard on for you to be able to communicate with others around the world, USE ONE>.. BIA Beer BiA..... is same in Khmer and Lao....
Was that "makkham" or Tamarind that was sour?
Was it Tim snoring at the end, omg 😱
Most important travel item (after passport) is the local word for beer🍺
Thats TAMARIND fruit that they gave you to eat...!!! Its a delicacy out here in the NorthEast partof India also..
Really sweet people 😊😊😊 what happened to Tim? 😊
10:10: Still this British obsession to ask the name of people they meet, even if they don't care😃...
Anyway, it's a very good video about the traveller's behaviour ("speak english ? Beer ?"), and Vietnam/Laos border of course
Ben that is unripe Tamarind.
Confused...doesn't yr passport have a photo, why another for the Laos border? Odd.
I am not sure what happened between generations on the language barrier? For all the places I have traveled, just a few (18) countries, I found hand gestures are global...such as asking for food, simply use the gesture of "Spooning" to your mouth then point to yourself. Looking for a motel or hostel? Praying hands tilt sideways and lay your head to the side of them. To me simple gestures were common sense and I had no problem getting basics in any country without knowing verbal basics at first. Then I would learn needed words and write down pronunciations in a broken English so I spoke them right. Restrooms, guide, hotel, thank-you...all little words or phrases to make your trip/event carefree...again I don't see why some can't do simple things or where this train of thought was lost. And for the love of God I still think everyone should learn to drive "Standard" shift vehicles to get their license 😉 And I didn't have google or cell phones then..now it should be so much easier to at least know currency conversion, I would never pull out a wad of cash and have them pick what they wanted? I fear the world is doomed for some reason. 😛
If there's anything that this travel vlog has told me is that I am more than capable of doing something like this myself.
Fried Fork never looked so good.
I've found that saying words repeatedly with increasing volume doesn't actually make someone begin to understand English unfortunately
The fruit you ate at Laos is Tamarind.
I thought Vietnam would be nice weather, but I suppose it’s rain season eh
