Phew we went through a similar process in Da Nang recently. Apartment hunting is a huge pain even in your home country. Add the language and culture barrier and it takes it to the next level. Luckily Vietnamese people are generally very accommodating and helpful. Good luck on your search!

I appreciate your comment and you are 100 % correct.... it can be challeng no question. I think your comment made my day!.... knowing we aren't the only ones! 👍 thanks for sharing your story

Traveling and apartment hunting is tiring at times! We've been at it going on 5 years. Some things have gotten easier but somethings like apartment hunting remain a challenge. There are just so many things to consider. You need to research and look at places in person We've been in Danang for 3 months and will be moving to our 2nd apartment in July. An Thuong area is great! Lots of charm restaurants and shops. Not much construction since this is a very established area. Son Tra area will be nice for you since you have a scooter. Looking forward to see a video of your new place!

Hi there! I can't express how much I love your comment ❤️ because it's SO TRUE! It CAN be difficult..... and when you are trying to stay for 3 months you kinda wanna find the right fit! We actually found a place in Son Tra, funny you say that..... so far so good! thanks again for watching and feeling our exhaustion from condo hunting 👍

The hunt continues, Can not wait for the next video, So about $90/month CND $ to rent the scooter, how much $/Liter for gas? Here in Burlington it is about $1.59/L. what about insurance? is that the 2 million? Did you know about the firework competition in Da Nang and wanted to be there for that?

@wattstraveling 29 дней назад

Hey there 👋..... all very good questions! Not sure about gas per liter I'll get back to you on that!..... but 2Mill was a deposit you can buy extra insurance for less than 10CAD. We didn't know about the fireworks until we got here.... happy accident 🙃 thanks for watching as always!

How long are you going to be there? My wife and I are planning to go there in August and stayed until end of September. We are also looking to rent a motorcycle and a two bedrooms house. Hope to see you there…

I’ve heard that joining local expat Facebook group will help you find anything that you looking for. You just post what you’re looking for and receive lots of listings

@wattstraveling 21 день назад

That's how we found out place in Malaysia but here, it's we got a lot of listing from people but lots of what we weren't looking for. Lots of studios, places with no pools or gyms..... so you really have to do some leg work sometimes 👍

How did you get around the international drivers license? I would like to be legal but Vietnam doesn’t recognize my international driving permit.

@wattstraveling 27 дней назад

Well, that's not 100% correct..... we rode the HA Giang Loop last year and that's all they wanted to see to avoid fines and we did! 👍 so your IDP does work in some places in Vietnam. Best bet is to always carry it

@davidburton3258 2 дня назад

@wattstraveling Vietnam does not recognise overseas driving licences. You need an International Driving Permit which certifies your local motorbike licence. The reason they request this is that you can get fake licences printed in SEAsia, especially Thailand. If you hire a bike without producing a IDP, your travel insurance will not pay out if you are in a major accident. They will ask to see a copy of it and if you cannot produce they will say you rented the bike illegally. If you drive the Loop and poice pull you up ad they often do with foreigners, and you can't produce an IDP endorsed for a motorcycle licence, they may fine you heavily. Tryst this help. You could always get a motorbike licence in Vietnam if you are staying a long time but I am not sure how a international travel insurance would view this if you are in an accident and don't have a motorcycle licence in your home country. Trust this helps.

@wattstraveling 2 дня назад

@davidburton3258 hi there, some of that is true. I just learned that even an IDP isn't REALLY legal or recognized either. And to actually GET a license IN vietnam it can only be done with a test written in Vietnamese..... so basically nobody (foreigner) is driving legally here. I have no idea WHY when we did the Ha Giang that's all they wanted to see, and we didn't get fined.....considering it's not legal in Vietnam? It's just not heavily enforced here which makes driving legally difficult. I mean there ARE companies that try and tell you they can get you a license but it's NOT legit.

@SuperTassieman День назад

@@davidburton3258 Well they do recognize a IDP but it has to be from the 1968 convention. Unfortunately USA, Canada and Australia are from the 1949 convention which VN do not allow.

@wattstraveling День назад

@SuperTassieman ahhhh YES!..... that's correct 👍 thank you for clearing that up! 👍

@wattstraveling Месяц назад

Hi Steve 👋 we don't like to use airbnb and hate paying ridiculous "touristy" prices..... some people say it's the tourist that raises the prices on things, but we don't want to pay those touristy prices... I don't want to pay thousands of dollars when I know there's people charging more affordable rates. Booking.com and airbnb are people's go to.... but not us and we have time to look..... but yes it can be a pain some times

@peng1164 28 дней назад

With $9 mil Dong budget You won’t get very much for an apartment, it’s ok but nothing great. You would need a budget of $12 /$13 Dong or above to be able to get a nice apartment in Da Nang VN $9 mil Đồng in VN aren’t really not that much comparing to 3-5 yrs ago.

@wattstraveling 27 дней назад

It's funny that many of the vloggers or youtube videos we watched on danang specifically..... people would rave about how "cheap" accommodations can be (compared to western prices it is).... but it's always good to have the experience yourself to understand the reality.... I didn't come to Danang to pay western prices! (Not even close) but we did find a great place for 10M and I'm very happy with it.

@venturecici1393 22 дня назад

That's not true at all. The problem is foreigners who want to stick to only certain neighborhoods with inflated/gentrified prices. I specifically looked in local communities and houses and haven't had this problem of no living room, tiny studios or insanely high prices. The entire city is near the beach. It's not necessary to live in My An or Son Tra. We are going to Hai Chou or Thanh Khe near the beach. It's well established with tons of local shops,so not much construction, way cheaper and just generally nicer if you are willing/able to do annual contracts.

@wattstraveling 22 дня назад

@venturecici1393 agreed... we don't mind living in neighborhoods and having a scooter helps with getting around. My An and son tra are great areas but yes...increase prices!

@venturecici1393 22 дня назад

@@wattstraveling our budget is 8 million and we've already seen several 3+ bedroom houses for less than that! They are a bit harder to find (and our requirements are stricter due to having pets). But these prescriptive comments are such nonsense. ONLY tourists with zero knowledge or experience pay these ridiculously inflated prices.

@wattstraveling 13 дней назад

@venturecici1393 it's great you found a place for 8 Mil. We found it difficult because we wanted a gym AND pool and i don't think 10Mil is inflated at all. So far, this area is great! 👍
