- Vietnam is one of those countries that keeps surprising us in the best way possible. While Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hoi An, and Da Nang seem to get all the attention, Nha Trang is a coastal city that shouldn't be missed.

Cảm ơn 2 bạn đã đến VN chúc vui vẻ
@@phuongmai2415thank you! ☺️ We’re actually back now, filming a follow up series! We loved it too much to stay away!
Wow! This might be one of the few channels I watch that Western travelers like you guys actually experience and appreciate the culture regardless of what religion/faith/belief you follow. You chose to visit historical sites and went out of your way to hike a Buddhist temple even though you aren't necessarily Buddhists. And even though there are other recreational places that tourists can go, you chose a spiritual place to see. You chose the tranquil aspect of Vietnam to admire, and I think that is very unique and wise, spiritual about your journey.
I love that you burned the incense and put your hand together to pay homage to the Buddha. In that moment you look just like a faithful Buddhist.
I'm a Buddhist myself and this video means a lot to me. There aren't many foreign tourists who are this thoughtful. I mean, not everyone can appreciate and embrace the spiritual side of Vietnam. I think these places are like the gems, and are often overlooked.
It's just so beautiful to see tourists who truly appreciate the culture like you guys. I will follow your footsteps, regardless of what countries you travel to, because I know you are travelers with a beautiful heart and soul.
she said she meditate. That's all summed up she was or is related to Buddha. Cheers.
Check out Hello Hunnay's last video in Vietnam where she visited Yen Tu...it was magical to me.
Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot to us and is one of the nicest we have ever received. We try very hard to be respectful of the places we visit and have such an admiration for Buddhism and the culture surrounding it, so we are eager to learn more. Your comment made our day. 🥰
Vietnam is beautiful but now it's rainy season the best period for me to visit is from December until May !
We can’t wait to return after the rainy season! 🤗
Rainy season in Vietnam:
Southern part of Vietnam, like Saigon, it lasts from May to Octorber.
Central of Vietnam: it starts around Sept/Oct, and it lasts until Jan/Feb of the year after.
Northern Vietnam seems a little bit complicated. The delta of Hong river may have four somewhat distinct seasons, but not for those regions furthest to the North, along the border. They have rainy seasons that last from April/May until Aug/Sept inconsistently.
@@Harki146 I don’t think so.
Nha trang beach looks amazing 😍😍😍
It was a fun place to spend a couple of days! We hope to return so we can see everything we missed. 😊
Many of us foreigners are amazed at VN's larger beaches being so empty but there's a reason for that.
It's HOT :-) Local Vietnamese go to the beach early, like around 5am and swim and exercise and finish by 6:30 - 7:00am. They go home, eat breakfast and off to work and school refreshed and energized. The beach is empty for us tourists when it's the hottest. It's great for us sun worshipper or beach fanatics. By 4:30pm the local Vietnamese leaves school and work so they come back to the beach to play, socialize and exercise then by 6pm they head home to have dinner with their family or go out for dinner. I love the fact that VN larger beach cities allow the locals complete public access to the lovely beaches, young and old rich and poor, instead of giving high end hotels/resorts their own private beaches. It's their beach and the Vietnamese people should have access to it. I've been to the Caribbean and feel sad seeing the locals not being able to access many of the lovely beaches there.
It's such a win-win situation, isn't it? We’d like to visit the beach and wake up early to see what it's like when the locals are out, but having the beach all to ourselves in the afternoon was wonderful as well. 🥰
We’ve also been to the Caribbean and were disheartened to see the beaches owned by the hotels and blocked for public access. Nature should be accessible to everyone.
It is one of the things communist governments do better than Capitalist governments. Where public interests are important, they just get it done in favour of the mass, not the few.
Its empty because the sun is hot so no body swim , but if you go to the beach very early morning , crowed Vietnamese swimming and running exercise . 😊
We’ve noticed! Every morning and evening, people out in groups exercising! Such a cute community! 😊
Tôi yêu bạn vì bạn hiểu về Việt Nam rất nhiều ❤️❤️❤️gửi ngàn lời chúc tốt đẹp nhất đến gia đình bạn💐💐💐
Wow! I think we skipped Nha Trang on our Vietnam trip and seeing this... we're regretting it! Definitely need to get back there at some point! Another great vlog guys, making us crave Vietnam and the food! 😍
Thanks so much for watching! We had a great time in Nha Trang and would definitely go back for a few days. 🥰
Definitely brings back memories! We were there in March! 😊
Vietnam is such an incredible country. We’re missing it and are so excited to return in December! 🥰
Another wonderful video friends, thank you for taking us on a wonderful adventure.. this is the first time I've seen Mike without a hat on..
amazing, my hometown is so beautiful through your camera angle. Hope that you can discover too many wonderful things in our country. always welcome people from all over the world
Thank you so much! Your hometown is beautiful regardless, which made it easy to film. We had such a lovely time there. ☺️
Nha Trang looks so nice! The beachy area made me reminisce about our time in Da Nang. 😍
Definitely adding it to the list for when we make it back to Vietnam.
We had a great time! We can't wait to explore Da Nang. 😊
Tks
so much positive energy coming from Ashley and this video❤❤❤❤
She’s like a ball of good vibes! It’s why I fell in love with her! 🥰🥰
Beautiful !!! 🪷
It really is! 🥰
*WELCOME TO VIỆT NAM 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳*
Thank you! 🥰😊
Vietnam is an extremely beautiful country in everything. Don't come to Vietnam just for tourism. But because of the people, the food, the culture, a place worth living, a peaceful and friendly country.
We fully agree!
Tuyệt vời chúng 2 vợ Ck bạn có chuyến du lịch trải nghiệm Việt nam ẩm thực ngon con người thân thiện tuyệt vời🇻🇳
The view from Vinpearl island is spectacular especially when the sun go down.
We bet it is! We wish we had visited. Hopefully next time! 😊
Asley looked very pious as she lit incense in the inner hall of the Long Son Buddha. Thank you for sharing this video and have a good trip to you both.
Aw, thank you! We love learning about all of the cultures of the places we travel. 😊 Thanks for watching our video! 🙏
Wow, it’s so nice beautiful cool video clip and thanks
Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed the video. 🥰
Two you are very sincere! Wish you the best time in Vietnam.
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰
Hai bạn thật dễ thương!! Chúc 2 bạn có những trải nghiệm vui vẻ 😊
Thanks so much! 😊❤️
Great video as always! You two always get such amazing cinematic shots of the places you visit 😍 we loved Vietnam so much! The only thing I don’t miss is crossing busy streets 😅
Thanks so much, guys! We feel you on the traffic. It can definitely be overwhelming! 😅
Chúc mừng có chuyến du lịch việt nam vui vẻ thank you
Thanks so much! 🥰
That room is amazing and for so cheap!!! Loved the video guys ☺️
Thanks so much, guys! 🥰
Thank you so much. Such a lovely couple ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Welcome to Viet Nam, hope you enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much! 🤗
well come to VietNam😍♥ Thank you for visiting VietNam!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I love Nha Trang's beaches too, spent a lot of time there long time ago. I recall swimming for hours, sometimes I swam a little bit farther to be away from the crowd then laid my back on the water and let my body floated, crossed my arms underneath my head and fell asleep. The water was so tranquil. The islands were gorgeous and so were their beaches.🏖
That sounds so lovely and mesmerizing! We’re so excited to get back near the ocean! 🤗
Viet Nam is such a great country. Loved my visit there some years ago.
It’s just incredible! We want to explore it all!
Chào mừng Anh chị đã đến Đà Lạt biển rất đẹp và những cảnh quay video rất hấp dẫn, Cảm ơn những tình cảm nồng nhiệt với đất nước con người Việt Nam,chúc anh chị có những kỳ nghỉ tràn ngập niềm vui hạnh phúc, gặp nhiều may mắn và bình an 💕💕💕❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰
Đà Lạt nào vậy má ơi. Nha Trang đó
@@ledanhlamvip12hồi giờ mới nghe đà lạt biển 😂😂
Biển Đà Lạt ? First time ever heard of. 😅
Though Hanoi were wonderful I kinda fell in love in Nha Trang. IMO it were a combination between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Still a large city but it felt so small. Alot of cultural sites, great feeling and food.. also found one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to (Hybrid) and had one drink based on tomatoe and mozzarella -and another with pickled mushrooms.. both really good and nothing like any drinks I ever had before.
If you never been there and it's open -it's a must!
Thanks for thee recommendation! We really enjoyed Nha Trang too. We went there not knowing much about it and with very few expectations, but were pleasantly surprised! 😊
looks like you guys are taking the same route we were taking. Saigon-Dalat-Nha Trang, Da Nang-Hoi An-Hue-Ha Noi, then fly back to Saigon.
Yup! Except we didn’t fly back to Saigon, we went to Thailand to take a break before heading off to Indonesia!
Your video is so soothing
Thank you so much! That makes us happy to hear. 🥰
I like vietnam and i will maybe visit this beach
You should! We wish we’d spent more time there.
I guess you guy are not a Buddhist, but I can see reverence and respect for religion in your small actions.
Typically, you take off your shoes when entering the temple, Ashley wears a scarf to cover her exposed body and Mike takes off his hat when entering the statue. You guys are very polite and understanding, Thank very much and respect ❤
That means a lot to us, thank you for your kind words. 🥰🙏
@@mikeandashley I’m very impressed that you guy can still understand the history and relics of the Cham people, while most Vietnamese still don't know much about them.
Our favorite part of travel is learning about the cultures and customs that shape the people and places we’re visiting.
Have a bless day in Nha Trang! Thanks for another nice video and it reminds me of how it was other there. Been back to VN 4X but only a time to Nha Trang and that was more than a decade ago and was single lol. Now I have small 2 small kiddos, can't wait to take them there when they get a bit older. Love watching your traveling trips to VN and the surprises.
Thanks so much! We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos. Taking the kids to the beach in Nha Trang would be a fun time for sure! Maybe they’d like Vinpearl!
@@mikeandashley will see when it comes but for the sure the list will be a long one and if we could have that kind of energy. Just the casual things such the wet markets, eating street vendors food and the craziest motorcycles/mops traffic there, the cool feeling to ride around the streets from the big roundabout to all the small alleys will be pretty cool to surprise them lol
The alleyways in Vietnam are the best vibe. We had no idea until we got here.
Nha Trang is the best city to retire ! Beautiful climate & beach .
Love you from 🇺🇸 .
❤❤❤❤❤🎉😘😘
We can see why! It’s so beautiful, and there is a lot to do. Thanks for watching again! 🫰🫰
You guys should visit to Da nang city- the best city in Vietnam, there are so many places to explore around Da nang and the beach is very beautiful too😊❤
We will have a vlog coming out from Đà Nẵng in a week or so! We hope you’ll enjoy it. ☺️
Cheers you two!! Vietnam was part of my travels since I was a teacher there as well (back in 2016 sooo…) Anyway, in Vietnam, I also went to Nha Trang during my time there. Albeit only for a couple of days. Took an interest in its Hinduism to Buddhism and Nha Trang’s night market, all of this in the Vietnam “micro-politan” size city of 800,000 😁😁😁!!!
Nha Trang was such an unexpected surprise! We didn’t know much (if anything) about the city before going, so it was fun to discover it’s Hindu and Buddhist past. And the beaches! 😍
We didn’t film, but we also went to the mud baths and has a great time. Such a fun place! 😊
@@mikeandashley Honestly, I have to say, you two are giving me an experience worthy to look at here, largely since I didn’t know about the Hindu past here!!! 😊 So keep your pleasures of living in the 800,000 Vietnamese MICROcity!!! 😁
@@mikeandashley Don't miss the beautiful catherdral sitting on a hill. It is built of stones in Gothic Revival architeture. I am sure you'll like it.
That sounds amazing! 😍 I believe we did miss it, but this won’t be our last time in beautiful Hoi An!
Beautiful shot at 11:17
Thanks so much! 😊
Your thumbnail is really nice, Ashley is so pretty, thats a plus for new viewers to click on whats she doing..
Haha, thank you so much! 😊🥰
nha trang have really good nem nuong.
We should have tried it there! 😅😩 But we’d just had it the day before.
I know that tickets to Vin Pearl are pretty expensive but if you have a chance, definitely try and go, especially during non tourist seasons. Usually I don’t really like the Disneyland-esque type of experience as well, but Vin Pearl got these cable cars like the one you did in Da Lat that go way up to mountains, and the views up there are really nice during sun set. Your drone would appreciate it for sure. The food there is great and honestly not at all expensive, and you can get hotel deals on the top floor pretty frequently. Think of it like a resort with activities. But I’m glad you get to enjoy Nha Trang! My hometown is Saigon but I travel to Nha Trang a lot cuz its motr peaceful there.
We're bummed we didn't go to Vin Pearl and have it on our list of places to visit the next time we’re in Vietnam. Thank you for the recommendation! 🥰
Olds say don’t judge the book by the cover ! I guess they are right !!! First time I saw Ashley on the video I thought she probably a mean person ! It’s turn out I was very wrong !!! The more I watch your vlog the more I like her personality !!! By the way I just came back home in August/ 2023 for 2 months. But to tell the true i was not very happy with the crowds and the weather !!! It’s was so hot and humid and I wanted to leave to come back to USA immediately !!! Anyway love you both with the open mind and hopefully everyone whose traveling be like you both !!! I am appreciated that you like my country !!!👍👏👌❤️
😅 Well we’re certainly glad you gave us a chance. 🥰 Thank you for watching and liking our vlogs. We absolutely love Vietnam and can’t wait to explore more! 🤗
B4 you guys leave vn gotta try some water coconut, can’t find elsewhere
Sounds delicious! 😋
Where r you from? I like your chanel. watching the videos you talk about my country is interesting. And it also helps me learn and practice listening better in English
I’m sorry my english not good 😅
@soccervn6119 thích giọng Mỹ. Chứ accent Anh là thua luôn
We’re from the USA. Thank you so much for watching! Our Vietnamese isn’t good, but we’re trying to get better. 😅
chúc hai bạn vui vẻ bình an
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
*Excellent tour video. We are going to Thailand in Dec for 6 months some of which will be spent in Vietnam. Haven't been to Nha Trang yet, looks like a must see. Thanks for sharing. BTW, did you figure out what happened to your debit card? Just aking because I've had issues with atms in Thailand and Vietnam, you really need to be careful where you put your card. Be well*
Thanks so much! We figured out the debit card issue. Some of the local ATMs won’t work with foreign cards, so you either need to go into the bank with your passport or go to ATMs associated with larger banks. We’ve found that it’s best to go inside the bank with your passport because you can pull out an limited amount of money while avoiding transaction fees. Unfortunately, in the case of this video, it was the weekend. 😅
Best of luck on your upcoming trip! Thailand and Vietnam are our top two favorite countries in SE Asia. 😊
If you guys like beaches, you're gonna check out Da Nang. And you should rent a motorbike and cruise around😊
No motorbikes this time around, but we’re working on getting our IDL’s for our next visit to Vietnam! Our favorite way to explore is by motorbike. 🛵
The coastal city of Nha Trang is said to be the most beautiful coastal city in Vietnam with its long sandy beach, fresh and delicious sea food with fish, shrimp and crab dishes, and especially visiting the Pontegar Tower intact Hindu ruins, enjoying a After a bowl of hot pho, the two of you went to Long Son Pagoda, the largest Buddha statue in the country, to watch the sunset and then went to the night market to leave a feeling of nostalgia here and if given the opportunity, Come back to this beautiful coastal city ^^
Thanks so much for watching. We had a wonderful time in Nha Trang and would love to return one day soon! 🥰
FYI the Buddha's statue at Long Son pagoda is actually not the largest in Vietnam . There are a lot more huge Buddha and Bodhisattva's statues in this country .
Really? We’d read online that this one was the largest! 😅
Hai bạn an lành , hạnh phúc
We are! Thank you. 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great video, it looks like a great time! We may have to come to Vietnam soon....our 90 days is coming up soon here in Thailand!
You should definitely visit Vietnam if you have the chance! We love it so much. Thailand is equally amazing, just in different ways. 🥰
Just in time for you to visit Vietnam as they are allowing the 90 day visa starting August 15th...but keep in mind, you'll be in monsoon season for the next month or so, though. One Pack Wanderers just made it to Vietnam and they're doing the Ha Giang Loop during the rainy season, which should be interesting and very challenging. LOL
I know! We’d love to do Ha Giang. Don’t know about in the rain, but still, we are going to plan it sometime.
@@mikeandashley They say the best time is around end of September or early October when the rice fields turn yellow or end of winter and early spring when the rice fields are green. If you've not seen, check out "Adventures of A+K" who did it earlier this spring...and of course "Tim and Fin" are the OGs of traveling Vietnam.
@@mikeandashley Also keep in mind, Americans, Canadians, Australians, etc., cannot technically ride there themselves due to the 1968 Vienna Convention not being signed (many European countries signed, so they good). That's not stopped everyone from doing it, though.
in Nha Trang, you need to have Nem Nuong Nha Trang.
We didn’t know it was from Nha Trang, we had it in Da Lat the day before. 😅😂
nhà trang! that’s my mom hometown!
It's such a lovely place! 🥰
I think for some banks, you have to let them know ahead that you'd be traveling abroad to start using ATM.
We let them know before our travels. We’d never had this problem before, even in Vietnam.
I've gotten fascinated and comforted by many nice scenes in this video. So wonderful.😀👍👍
That’s so nice to hear! Thank you for watching. 🥰
@@mikeandashley You are welcome. It was really fun to watch.🙏🙌🙌🙏
Thank you for the kind words, we’re glad you enjoyed it. 🥰🥰
My hometown
Your hometown is beautiful! 😊
Great video! I am looking to book the same hotel, but I read a review that says the hot water is on solar. Did you have any issues with the hot water at night? Could you also tell me if it is very loud?
Hey Maja! 👋☺️
That’s a great question. We didn’t notice any issues with the hot water during our stay. Though we were only there for two days. Also, it’s tucked away in an alley, so we felt it was pretty quiet.
We hope you enjoy your trip! When are you visiting Vietnam?
@@mikeandashley thank you so much!!!
@mikeandashley i will be in Vietnam from January 10th until February 8th.
Have an amazing time! Let us know if you have any other questions. ❤️
Where did you get your coffee in Nha Trang City?
It was called Alpaca Homestyle Cafe. ☕️🦙
*_Mike & Ashley wondeful_* !
Thanks so much! 😊
you also have a beautiful and kind face ❤❤
Thank you so much! 😊
But despite this, what interested me MOST by Nha Trang was its beach! I stayed at its beach FOR A WHOLE 4 HOURS to calm everything down in my body for full reasons I don’t know the full reasons for!! So there!! 😇
Haha we don’t blame you. Our biggest regret is not staying a few more days to really enjoy the beaches. 😭 We’re already planning a return trip.
Cam Ranh navy port, 40km to the south, used to be the base of Soviet Union navy fleet, so Nha trang is well known to Rusian
That makes sense! We had no idea and were surprised to hear so many people speaking Russian. 😅
You guys invested in making youtube too, very nice and sharp filming. It feels like you're making a documentary. Are you a professional videographer?
Aw, that’s such a kind thing to say! 🥰🥰 No, we’re not professionals by any means. We just started learning how to film and edit in October, so it’s been a learning experience for sure.
We’re happy you appreciate the quality of our vlogs. That means so much to us.
@@mikeandashley You guys are so professional, the foreign vlogs coming here are mainly recorded with DJI Pocket or by phone with FullHD resolution, the quality of recording is flat, jerky and the colors are very poor. There are not many beautiful and professional shots like yours. Or maybe it's normal in the US to film professionally like you? To describe the beauty of the place you are going to go, shooting with a phone is never enough. The good thing is that vloggers often go out on their own to explore and interact a lot with locals, some speak Vietnamese like Vietnamese ^^
Thanks so much! 🥰 We do our best to make our vlogs look as nice as possible. We’re still learning though! Thank you for the incredible compliments! We’ve definitely seen other people do really professional shots, they inspire us! We’ve also seen people use standard equipment and just film basic talking videos. I think it just depends on the style they are going for.
Seems like nha Trang’s more modern than Danang !!
I'm honestly not sure. Da Nang felt like a bigger city for sure. Nha Trang is honestly more our speed though, we typically like smaller cities though.
❤😍
❤️🥰
Hi, you guys. I'm enjoying your show on vietnam. But when Ashley was praying, she was supposed to burn the incense first. Then, she prayed, then inserted the incense into the pot. The way she did it. It'll burn everything down.
Haha, yeah, this was my first time. I’ve since learned the correct way to burn incense. 😅 Thank you for letting me know. 🙏
About 30 km south of Nha Trang there is a former American naval base during the wartime , named Cam Ranh . After the Americans left in 1975 , the Russians rented that strategic base for almost 20 years . Today this important site is entirely under the control of the Vietnamese army .
Interesting! We’ve heard of this base, but weren’t able to check it out. Thanks for the info! ☺️🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
so, what did you wish for? a Banh Mi and Cafe sua da?
Always! 🥰😋
I think others explained below how the incense works: light it, after a few seconds, wave it around to extinguish the flame but still allow the incense to burn/smoke, stick it into the incense holder, then pray. 🙃 Nha Trang is where the Russians like to hang out whereas Danang is where the Koreans like to go (I heard the Chinese used to go to Danang in the past, but I could be wrong).
Right. On the other hand, the Chinese side has violated and challenged Vietnamese law, such as only printing signs in Chinese, refusing to provide services and products to Vietnamese people. We then taught them whose where they are🤣
@@thegodfather7347 They were doing this in Vietnam? I'd kick 'em out. My SIL said the Chinese bought out Laos, they have places for Chinese only so Lao folks cannot even enter establishments in their own country...hopefully Vietnam will not allow that. My SIL said years ago, they kicked out the Chinese in Hai Phong (where she was born).
@@doodahgurlie The Chinese entered Vietnam with a tour group and did not return to China. That happened when our "comrade X" was prime minister, supported by both the US and China. But then we also kicked him out of that chair. Nguyen Phu Trong has gone down in Vietnamese history with his "dot lo" work, he will be placed alongside Le Duan as the best leaders after Ho Chi Minh.
@@thegodfather7347 How long ago did it happen? And why didn't China come to arrest their citizens and bring them back home? Isn't that why they put fences and such around their country to prevent their people from leaving?
Thank you for letting us know about incense. So glad we didn't burn the temple down. 😅🙏
Love you guys. By the way, Vietnam never worshipped Hinduism lol. Back then VIetnam and Champa were two separated countries, totally unrelated ethnics/cultures/languages. A few wars later Vietnam conquered Champa and expanded its border to the south.
Interesting! Our mistake! 😅😂 Thanks for letting us know. We do our best to learn these bits of info but sometimes get things confused. Thanks for watching! 🥰
👍👍🔥🔥🙏🙏
☺️☺️🙏🙏🥰🥰
You should not stay in Vietnam for too long, it's dangerous because maybe you will forget the way home, wish you have good memories in my country. Good luck
Haha, you’re totally right. We keep talking about ways to move here. 😅
you are having a nice trip and plan in Vietnam ^^ I mean, for now just enjoy your time in the south and mid-south of Viet Nam, because these places are not affected much by the raining of the late summer ^^ then come back to Hanoi in autumn, when there is no rain left ^^ Hanoi is very very beautiful in autumn ❤
Thanks for the tip! Truth is, our vlogs take a while to organize and edit, so we’ve already visited the north. 🤫 But we’re planning another trip later this year so we can continue to explore the places we’ve not been yet! 🙏
@mikeandashley hope you have good times then ^^ the drainage system in Hanoi is not really good, so it could be really bad for you to experience a Hanoi in the raining season 😅
Oh no! 😅😂 That could be bad. And we had so many dreams of sitting in lovely cafes as the rain came down while we were working. ☔️☕️
@mikeandashley yeah, that could be nice ^^ you can go around by grab, which you have got used to 😊 anyway, I can tell that the streets that foreigners usually go around do not usually suffer the flood of the rain much ^^ just enjoy your trip 😁😁 hopefully you can turn back Hanoi someday in the autumn ^^ I can tell that everything is in "green" - the lakes, especially Hồ Gươm (Gươm lake), are emeraldly green, the trees are green, the scent in the atmosphere is "green" also ^^ I miss Hanoi just because of its autumn 😅
I mean the scent of hoa sữa (milkwood pine flower, or blackboard tree's flower) in the atmostphere 😅
So did you find out why your debit cards didn't work at 3 ATM's?
Yeah, we did. We're having trouble remembering why, but we think it had something to do with the local banks on the weekend not being able to connect to our bank's server. Sorry if that's not very helpful. 😅
I’m new to your channel. I’m Canadian living in Japan for 12 years, but it is time for me to make a change. Can you please help me decide between Vietnam and the Philippines for a country to live and retire in? (I’m 61 now and plan to retire in about 5 years). Thanks!
Thanks for following along! We LOVE Canada, especially BC!
It would be hard for us to decide between those two as we’ve never been able to experience the Philippines yet, however we do plan to visit as soon as we can.
Vietnam is an amazing place with so much diversity and incredible food and people, so we could absolutely recommend it as a good place to retire.
How have you enjoyed Japan? We’d love to visit Japan one day as well!
Definitely Vietnam. Philippines is beautiful but as an island country, the weather is severe. There're lots of typhoon in Philippines every years and you might have to suffer. If moving to Vietnam, you can have lots of different choices and some of the best cities for expat with wonderful weather, modern infrastructure and unique culture are Nha Trang, Hoi An (really really interesting) and Da Nang. Vietnam is also rich in culture and you even can choose to live in other Westside cities in Vietnam like Can Tho, where the culture is way more different from other cities with Khmer community and Khmer culture nereby.
@thaole-cv6qb Thanks for sharing! I’m still in Japan for now. Where are you living? How is life there?
@@ShikokuFoodForest I'm living in Vietnam right now. But as a member of Asean countries, we're updating information from other Asean countries like Philippines. And most storms coming to Vietnam pass through Philippines first so they have weakened. There're much things to tell you about life here, of course in both pros and cons as every other places. But in general, I suppose Vietnam and Thailand are really suitable places to retire.
@@thaole-cv6qb Hello again. May I ask, which country are you from? Are you working in Vietnam?
Hi
Hello! 👋
I heard there are about 5,000 Russians living in Nha Trang. Do you think Nha Trang is the most expensive city in VN or Saigon?
We would say from a traveler’s standpoint that Ho Chi Minh City was a bit more expensive as far as accommodations and food were concerned. 😊
@@mikeandashley : Thanks for the information.
Good morning Mike and Ashley,
How are you two doing? Hope things went well for you except the ATM issue. Haha, Ashley, when you offered the incense, you should blow out or shake the incense before praying. However, it’s alright because the thoughts that count. I’m catholic myself. I don’t do that every day in my faith practice. I mainly do that when viewing someone that passed away. If you’re so interested in the Champa culture, you should visit Phan Rang or Phan Rí. I’ve heard about it but never had the chance to visit. FYI, per our family tree, I’m a Champa descendant. Nevertheless, I have no clue what it’s like to be a Champa. I came to the US at the teen age, growing up and …getting old for more than four decades. What do you expect?
So, how did you solve the ATM problem? You didn’t say anything about it but I figure you took care of it the minute that you two eating …phở!
It’s great watching your video and seeing that you’re have a good time in Nha Trang.
Thank you for posting your experience.
Take care. Stay safe and healthy.
Good morning! Thanks for letting us know about the incense. It was my (Ashley) first time lighting it, and I've since learned I could have burned the temple down. So glad I didn't! 😅
We solved the ATM problem by going to one associated with a larger bank in town, but it took a few tries before we could find one that would work.
We added Phan Rang and Phan Rí to our list of places to visit the next time we're in Vietnam. Thank you for the recommendations! 🥰

Hi,
Are you two still in Vietnam or you already flew out?
It was quite …warm in my area today, 115! Next week it will climb up to 119.
Wherever you are, I wish you two the best. Take care.
Jeez that’s hot! 😱 Our vlogs are a bit backdated, so we’re not there any longer, though we’re already planning our next trip and still have plenty of content coming out from this trip.
Vietnamese dont go to the beaches during the day. It is insanely packed at 5am.
We should have woken up earlier to see it at it's fullest. Next time! 😊
FYI the Vietnamese main ethnic group ( the Kinh ) have never been Hindu . Only the Cham minority group are either Hindu or Moslem . But all religions are welcome and respected in Vietnam . There is no discrimination here . Whoever say there is no freedom of belief in this country are either liars or having bad intentions to tarnish the image of our country . When you reach Danang and Northern VN you will see much more huge and gorgeous pagodas/temples and Buddhist statues there . There are many beautiful Christian churches and cathedrals in Kontum , Da Nang , Hue , Quang Tri , Ha Tinh , Nghe An, Thanh Hoa , Ninh Binh , Nam Dinh , Hanoi , Hai Phong , Sapa as well which will surprise you and make you wonder if you are in Asia or in the West ? ( about 8% of the Vietnamese people are Roman Catholic )
We were surprised to see so many Catholic churches in Vietnam, and loved the mix of religions and cultures. It is such a unique and beautiful place. 🥰
On these bus, you need to sleep throughout the ride or you will notices Vietnam is very twist abd turn.
We noticed! 😅🥴
I'm a big BIG fan of ancient civilizations and ruins (well, not so much Egypt as that's overrated and the pyramids surrounded by sand is ugly to me, unlike say Machu Picchu or Angkor Wat), so it saddens and angers me whenever I think about all the bombs dropped on Vietnam by the US that obliterated those ancient structures. More bombs dropped than all of WWII that wiped out historical architecture and left them in ashes...and then there's the leveling of Hue's Imperial City. But lemme channel that really cool and peaceful aura inside the Buddha so I can calm down a bit. Hahaha!
We feel you. The loss of history when ancient structures become casualties of war is horrific. So much senseless loss. Keep channeling Buddha! 😌
The girl's so beautiful
Thank you so much! 🥰
🫰🇻🇳
🥰❤️
All you need to do is look at a map of Vietnam! Vietnam is border by South China Sea along an entire side of the country off course there are beaches!
We know! Ashley just gets excited everytime she sees the beach 😂
Could you please visit China?
We would love to. Hopefully one day soon! 😊
We would love to. Hopefully one day soon! 😊
You should put fire on incense first than praying… That ‘s correctly way than praying and lighter
Thanks for the tip! 🥰
คุณสองคนนับถือพุทธรึครับ
We’re not, but we are curious about all religions and pay respect whenever we visit a temple or place of worship. 😊🙏
người VN có nhiều người không theo tôn giáo gì nhưng chúng tôi luôn tin vào phât cung như chúa...!
Sad news 😭😭😭! The USWNT lost to Sweden.
Bummer! 😭
Would have been so much better without the loud background music.
Thank you for the feedback! We had a few comments regarding the audio being loud, so we’ve corrected that in future vlogs. Thanks for watching. ☺️
Nha Trang ít khách du lịch toàn người Nga thôi😀🤣😂
We noticed! 😅
For me this is more of a home movie/video, the type your uncle would bore you with....
Sorry you feel that way. We see that you are a fellow content creator, which is great! We always appreciate constructive feedback. Can you elaborate on why you think this video is boring? Thanks for watching!
Too much face time! Show more of the place, less of the face, you can talk in the background if need be. Your video was like non-stop talking! I am in Nha Trang now!@@mikeandashley
If you burn incense to pay respect to Buddha, you will be blessed with health, luck, happiness...
That sounds amazing! 🙏
Condao has the most beautiful beach and coral in VN
We added it to our list of places to visit. Thanks for the recommendation! 😊
You guy should rent a motorcycle & explore more. Nearly all tourist city you can rent a bike for less than $10/day
We'd love to! We're saving that for our next time in Vietnam! 😉
Chúc 2Vợ Chồng Bình An.Tâm Tĩnh Lặng thì đc Ăn Nhiên..
Thank you so much. 🥰
The beach in Vietnam is alright. Overall the beaches in Thailand and the Philippine are prettier .
We can’t argue with you there, but we were still pleasantly surprised by Vietnam’s beaches. 😊
Bạn nhìn thấy những hình ảnh nhà sư gầy gò,và bạn nói là những nhà sư chết đói,thực tế thì không phải như vậy,họ là những nhà sư tu theo trường phái Nam Tông của Ấn Độ,họ tu khổ hạnh,một ngày chỉ ăn một lần,và có thể đi hành khất,ai cho gì thì họ ăn cái nấy,cho nên cơ thể họ gầy gò vì thiếu ăn.
Interesting! Thank you for letting us know. 😊🙏
@@mikeandashley Chúc hai bạn có chuyến du lịch Việt Nam vui vẻ nhé!
🥰🥰
