      hey Suitcase Money. I suggest another awesome place to visit: Ocean Flower Island in Hainan, China! It is now the biggest man-made island in the world, replacing Palms Island in Dubai, just opened up and is absolutely stunning and luxurious. Definitely worth a visit and a great place to vlog.

    I was with the US Army in Vietnam in 1968-1969. Didn't see much of any cities since our time was spent in the boonies. But we used to say that this place would be beautiful if we didn't have a war going on. After seeing this video, I realize how true that was!! Amazingly gorgeous!! Vietnam, you've done well!!

    After visiting Vietnam many times and after spending a year and a half during the covid19 travel restrictions and seeing how the United states of America has turned a shitshow. My wife and I sold our house,carsand just about anything we owned and moved Vietnam. We have no regrets!
    Vietnam is a beautiful country with the most warm a friendly and amazing people in the world! I don't ever want to live anywhere else in the world! And certainly will not be returning to the United states! To say we love Vietnam would be understatement! It's heaven on earth! Or as close to it as possible!

      I am very proud of reading your kind words about my country, I love Vietnam as well where I was born and grew up even though I am a Chinese Vietnamese. the cuisine in Vietnam is one of the best in the world at least to me, the only disadvantaged thing in Vietnam is the climate, especially in the Southern cities like Ho Chi Minh, it is hot nearly whole year. Anyway, I also love my country so much and do not intend to move to somewhere else

    My son lived in Vietnam for 8 years and I visited him twice. We mainly stayed in the north as he was teaching marketing at University of Hanoi. I am excited to return so I can visit the cities you reported on in your video. My son's Vietnamese fiancé's family held an elaborate engagement party in Hanoi last year. It was fascinating to learn about some of their customs. Last month his fiancé finally got her fiancé visa and they were married in Hawaii. Now I have a beautiful Vietnamese daughter-in-law. I am tutoring her in English. She already has a good grasp of English,. it's so wonderful!

    Just home from 20 days in Vietnam and Cambodia. Was an absolutely incredible experience. The food, people, city's and villages we visited were incredible. Such resilient people in both countries; who have endured so much. We were welcomed into people's homes, met survivors of S-21 and an 82-year-old Vietnamese soldier who hugged us all, and took great joy in sharing his story. Highly recommend visiting these two incredible countries.

    There is a place in Vietnam that 10 years ago it was hardly mentioned in popular travel magazines because "that place is only for the world's billionaires". But now it is allowed to welcome everyone (although the service fee will be about 15% higher than other places in Vietnam, but it is really worth it). That place converges all the quintessence of Vietnam's nature: There are forests, mountains, sea... Fruits and food are excellent. That is PHU QUOC ISLAND. It is a place you must visit at least once in your life.

    Fabulous video, Vietnam is a fantastic place to visit. The t-shirt you showed reminded me of a comment an older acquaintance said to me when I mentioned I was going to Vietnam on holiday. Their first reaction was to be taken aback and then the comment explaining why, "I'm from the generation where Vietnam was a war zone not a tourist destination" Perhaps there's hope that other war zones can also become peaceful tourist destinations.

    Been to Vietnam 8 times since 2002 and we were planning a 2020 trip but you know what happened. Absolutely loved the quality of your vid and especially your pronunciation of Vietnam and place names.
    You tour was virtually the same as our first except we also did Dalat and Nha Trang.
    A travel tip is to look at look at where Vietnam Airlines flies or where the trains go. Find a resort or do the cultural things for not much money. Business class costs bugger all domestically and you get the lounges and no queues.
    Anyway thanks for your efforts and we'll travel again after Omicron.

    the next 10 years will be Vietnam's golden period for strong economic growth, because children born without disabilities and educated will really grow up and will work hard to continue their lives. continued strong construction for Vietnam. Hopefully the government will become more and more efficient and our citizens will continue to work even harder.

    This video was incredibly useful for when I was planning a trip to Vietnam in late August/Early September! We also went for 10 days. Me and two of my friends went to many of the places you listed in the video. We had originally planned to go to Sapa but I decided that Hoi An was the better option for the two days instead... and it was our favourite part of the trip too! We were there on National day, so it was very busy and there were lots of festivities in Hoi An!
    We went to Ha Long for two nights instead of one, which I think was a good option as we got a whole day cruise and experience on Cat Ba Island. We also got to kayak in some very quiet and intimate areas of the bay, where nobody but the three of us could be seen or heard and discovered the most beautiful hidden gem I have ever seen. I don't usually cry but... that little part of Ha Long we kayaked into was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We also went to Ninh Binh and spent a bit longer in Hanoi than you did - went on a couple of motorbike tours around the city and nearby countryside. It was definitely a fun experience and this video helped me decide what we would do in the short time we spent in the country!

    This video is so far my favorite video about Vietnam. So colorful, vibrant, peaceful, picturesque, with some history too. Absolutely well done. Hope I can go visit one day.

      Check out Sammy and Tommy's videos that they are currently uploading from their trip to Vietnam a couple of years ago. Sonny from The Best Ever Food Review Show commented on their video, which is quite a compliment. Also check out Karl Watson's videos. If you're interested in the food, Max McFarlin does food vlogs from there.

    Next time you come back, do the Ha Giang Loop (if you don't ride a motorbike, there's always the easy rider option). Visit Sa Pa (Fansipan, glass bridge, Cat Cat Village, waterfalls, parks), Da Lat (canyoning, Elephant Falls, Alpine rollercoaster, the Maze Bar, Crazy House, clay village and I think there's even a Hobbit-like village, coffee farms, etc.), Phu Quoc (water park, safari, prison, etc.), Phong Nha (day cave visits include Paradise Cave and Dark Cave where you can go ziplining and mud bathing inside, and 1 day or multi-day caving adventures), etc.

    I was in Vietnam and Cambodia this past November. I’m old enough to remember the war on TV. The people welcome you with open arms. How they treat us is unbelievable.
    I’m so sorry. Beautiful place. Try to go. A trip of a lifetime🌟🙏🏽

    Bought back so many memories, never visited the centre of Vietnam but did go to Dalat and Nha trang. You caught the vibrancy and the colours of this country, just a shame we didn't have the smell. Excellent and thank you, enjoy your trips..

    Hey Monkeys, I found your video randomly while looking for chill travel videos about Vietnam, and am so happy to have come across your channel! Vietnam has been on my travel list for a long time and this guide has given me some great ideas. I also really appreciate the philosophy of your channel and keeping the focus on the location rather than the vloggers. Looking forward to more content!

    Tôi đang ở Châu Âu. Có lẽ sự khác biệt quá lớn về văn hóa của người dân là lý do chính để Việt Nam thu hút người nước ngoài. VN nhộn nhịp, nhiều cảnh đẹp, con người vui vẻ không phân biệt, ẩm thực phong phú ... đó là những điều đáng tự hào. Còn giao thông, rác thải, chặt chém là những điều chúng ta cần lên án. Cám ơn video của bạn. Hẹn bạn 1 thời gian ngắn nữa. Ý thức của chúng tôi đang dần thay đổi. Bạn sẽ bất ngờ vì điều đó.

I studied university in Hanoi, visited Hoi An and Hue several times, and now am living in Saigon. All shots are real and beautiful. Thanks for your kind perspective of view at the end of the video, yes, the country is safe to everyone and getting big development over years

    Been to Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue on my last trip to Vietnam. I actually were there to play golf every day for 20 out of 28 days during the visit. Golf courses were nice. Golf here is similar to China as you always take a cart with a caddie. Stayed in Da Nang and traveled to the other areas from there. Enjoyed the trip very much. Flew into and out thru Da Nang Airport. Going back later this year and do a similar trip playing golf less. Come visit if you like.

    Amazing. Everywhere is just beautiful, Hoi An looks like a dream with all the lanterns. Her dress was beautiful as well. I’ve never thought about visiting Vietnam but that’s being reconsidered. Crossing the street in HCM looked absolutely terrifying, I would probably pass out half way across from anxiety.

    I went to Vietnam in February of 1990. I would not recognize it now. Back then, you had to go to the local police station in every place you spent the night to show your passport and pay a very small "fee." The people were way cool to me. I believe it was about 10,000 Dong for $1 U.S. dollar. I remember all 4 of my pockets bulging out when I exchanged a $50 bill. Everything was dirt cheap. The experiences were unreal. I spent 28 interesting days going from the south to the north. Flew into Saigon and out of Hanoi to Laos. Good times
