not only UK From 15 Aug 2023, the government of Vietnam decided to extend the duration of stays in Vietnam from 15 to 45 days for citizens of 13 countries who are unilaterally exempted from visas by Vietnam. These countries are Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the U.K., Northern Ireland, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus. Citizens of these countries are allowed to stay for 45 days from the time of entry, regardless of passport type and entry purpose.

Dog meat is only at specialized dog meat restaurants, not in the normal restaurants, if you don't look especially look for it, chance is that you will likely not see one, so don't worry that they might "accidentally" serve you the dish as it s not cheap either

@mimimarcus Год назад

Yes, this should've been clarified in the video to be more fair to Vietnam and Asia in general!

@pohanahawaii Год назад

🐾 Unfortunately, though much less dog meat in the South in recent years, still so MANY places on every local street in the North. It's like China, Philippines, even Korea. Places that were very poor before and though technologically advanced now, haven't evolved ethically. The men are ugly and like savages in these areas. Quite disgusting to chuck up animal cruelty to "culture".

@Yuuki2109 Год назад

Love your video and totally agree as a Southern Vietnamese. The South is kinda great for night life and city vibrant life but the North is better for nature and adventure. So the best route that I could recommend anyone want to explore Vietnam: arrive in Saigon (key city of the South) enjoy city life night life > go to Da Nang (key city of the mid) enjoy beach life and seafood > go Ha Giang (Northside) then fly back from Ha Noi (the capital city). Have fun!

@norbertschmitz3358 Год назад

@Jolene Hello Jolene, I like your comment on here, and you being a local Vietnamese woman, may I ask you only a few questions? I'm 67 old, not into adventure anymore, I like to spend 6 weeks in July-August in Vietnam. I would like to split those 6 weeks into half....3 weeks along a beach....3 weeks inland....in rather smaller cities....and enjoy local food and the way of life of ordinary people....5 star resorts are not my thing. And nor is travelling a lot my thing anymore. I like to find 2-3 nice locations where I can stay during my visit, and enjoy a rather relaxed holiday. Any suggestions ? I would be be very grateful ! Cheers from Germany

@slenderman3510 Год назад

@@norbertschmitz3358 Hi, not Jolene but I'm a Vietnamese here myself so I just thought I'd chip in. - Hanoi (the capital city of Vietnam) is quite a hustling and bustling city but it really manages to capture the essence of Vietnam's culture in aspects like architure, religion, history, cuisine, etc., so even though it's a big city, you can still find a place to slow down amidst all the chaos and turmoil. I love Hanoi very much and if you are open to visiting this city, I would love to show you around (for free of course haha). Definitely not a tour guide but I just simply love talking about this city. - Generally, in the north of Vietnam, if you want to go to beaches with golden sand and transparent water, you'll have to go pretty far away from the coast to outskirt islands in the far side of Halong Bay (usually takes ~1 hour by boat). This is because the Red River deposits a lot sediments and alluvium, causing the color of water to go brown, red, and green. However, Halong Bay is definitely worth checking out because the sights there are just top-notch. It's not one of the 7 world's wonders for no reasons. - Anyways, if you want to spend some more time at some beaches, I believe you'll like cities like Da Nang or Nha Trang because tourism in these cities thrive on beaches that they have. The two cities are located in the Central Region of Vietnam and from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City, you can easily take a flight to the destination in less than 2 hours. If you have more questions, I'll be glad to answer.

@aamo3960 11 месяцев назад

Visited Vietnam for 13 days in January. Visited Saigon, Da Nang and Hanoi along with a self-guided excursion into the jungles near Kham Duc. Absolutely insane country! Never have i regretted not knowing the local language more. The people are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met anywhere on earth and I’ve been to 20+ countries. The nature is stunning and the food is mind blowingly good! Vietnam is a country I have to recommend everyone visit at least once in their life and preferably while it’s still relatively unknown to the tourist masses!!!

@aamo3960 10 месяцев назад

@@SlamminCameron For a honeymoon I‘d definetly recommend the Ha Long Bay cruise. I didn‘t do it myself, but the scenery looks amazing from the photos I‘ve seen. In Saigon you can go ice skating in the Landmark 451 scyscraper, which was pretty cool for me as a Finn😅. There are a lot of museums in Saigon and Hanoi, but the War Remnants museum in Saigon is definetly my favourite. You might want to do a guided tour of the Cu Chi tunnels, which while touristy, are still very impressive! Hanoi is definetly more traditional than Saigon with the architecture and the general vibe. I definetly recommend visiting the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and the museum complex. You‘ll be seeing Ho Chi Minh a lot all around Vietnam, so why not learn more about him :D Be sure to get there early tho. I‘m talking 7 am kinda early! In Saigon I recommend staying in the 1st district. The city is very walkable and the further away sites are easily reached via taxi or the water bus. The prices are very reasonable for someone used to Finnish prices! In Hanoi we stayed near the Hoan Kiem lake, which we found to be very nice and convenient for reaching all the major sites, like the Temple of literature, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum etc. Again, Hanoi taxis are also really good! Honestly there‘s so much to see that I can‘t condense it all into one comment, but I hope you have a great honeymoon and enjoy Vietnam to the fullest! Remember to also eat the street food and not be afraid to cross the road!

Hey Joel ! Great video as always :)) Another tip I would mention is : It is pretty easy to find CouchSurfing hosts in Viet Nam and they were the highlight of my travel there ! I also met a family that hosted me on the side of the road after an accident I had. All in all, Vietnamese people are really friendly. Cheers !

@Joelfriend Год назад

Oh that's great to hear! I bet you can get some awesome experiences with coach surfing too!

@tungnse Год назад

One thing I can proudly tell about my people is that Vietnamese people are extremely friendly to visitors, whether its foreigners or vietnamese people themselves. Just be nice (yes, be nice, vietnamese value respect) and you can get help from pretty much any local you meet whether they are busy or not. If you get lost or in trouble people just naturally come to help you and they never ask for a repay. Its a beautiful thing about vietnamese people. Just be a bit careful when you want to spend money though.

Good tips! Ive had the exact same experience on my 1 month travel. Especially Ha Giang don't skip out on it if youre somewhat comfy riding a motorbike its absolutely worth. My only regret is driving the 3 day loop instead of the 5-6 day loop. Also make some friends and drive in a group, safer that way! One more tip. If youre in ha long anyway for a cruise, rent a motorbike when youre done, and visit the island of Cat Ba (right next to the bay) it is breathtaking, the town on the other side of the island is very charming too.

Guys, this commet is for all people planning to visit Viet Nam. I'm a Vietnamese citizen and I have to admit that Viet Nam has a myriad of breathtaking views and alluring tourists attractions. BUT, that guy is telling the sadly true thing in Viet Nam. Besides those who are honest and kind, there are lots of merchants considering foreign visitors as people living in a country having a higher standard of living, a better income so they kind of charge you an overwhelmingly prohibitive price (Vietnamese's perspective). So remember, it is a must-do when visiting VietNam: BARGAINING

The best time to visit Vietnam is October/November for nice weather all around the country. 4. Hanoi is developed, just not in the old quarter where tourists mainly go, head to the business district you’ll be surprised.

I was born and raised as a white English speaking child in vietnam in Saigon and I still to this day know 2 sentences in Vietnamese and had no language barrier so if ur going to Saigon you’ll be fine without google translate

Good to know!

Those hotels and wherever you stay in Vietnam. They know and understand that they have to get up late in the night to provide helpful services for hotel accommodation.

Hi, just saw your video - super great and so good to know before going! I just want to say that the visa screen shot you show, isn´t all the way correct, because in Denmark you don´t need a visa unless you are staying in Vietnam for more than 45 days. Just wanted to point out, so everyone check up on it and dont necessarily "just" use that one screen shot:)

Here some place in Vietnam you would want to see and you can google image how the place look like: Phu Quoc Island, Dalat, Danag, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Ha Long Bay, The Marble Mountain, Ninh Binh, Dragon Statue Mountain in Tam Coc, Hue, Bà Nà Hill, and Ban Gioc waterfall.

I agree that the North is better than the South in terms of attractions, however the South is worth visiting because of the welcoming people. I think HCMC is a big dumpster, but with some of the friendliest and most welcoming people on this planet.

@sazji Год назад

HCMC is a bit chaotic to be sure. But if you get off the main streets and go back into the actual neighborhoods, it can still be charming. I was in a homestay in one of those neighborhoods in District 3, and before long I knew lots of the local folks and felt a part of the neighborhood.

Its always cheaper to book in person at a local place than online 😁 we did all on place and all the tourists booked online and they overpayed almost everytime in comparison to our prices. Just as a sidenote

@lavenderlove1241 Год назад

Thanks for the tips! Especially for the tailor. The fiance and I are going to get our wedding garments made there.

I cant find any link for the visa.. Beer comes ice cold from the fridge nobody serves icecubes in the north 😁 and also locals go beyond to get you the best fit for your day trip and you will also know 100% what you get and pho was one of the hardest foods to be found in ha noi, ninh binh and cat ba..

@Borii94 11 месяцев назад

wait, why did you delete your review for the place that tailored your suit? Were they not good?

I loved it so much, I married my Vietnamese wife. Moving back there soon.

The best thing about real travel is to not know, to discover, to be intrigued and romanced. Later on the “bad” experiences are often memorable as the good ones. I traveled in the seventies when hardly any information was available and reservations were not a possibility for the budget traveler.
