In today's Vietnam travel vlog, we ride the longest VIP overnight train in Vietnam, starting from the North in the city of Hanoi, all the way to the south to the city of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
In this video, we give you a complete look into what it's like to be on a train for such an extended period of time and whether or not you should do the journey yourself.

@@LloydandMandy Lloyd and Mandy: please visit a nightlife popular bar in the beach city Vũng Tàu, a 2h drive from Saigon. Everything in this bar including the shape of the building is about Johny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean. The bar is facing the ocean and features daily live band and singers playing American rock music. The name of the bar in Vietnamese is Ngọc Trai Đen, or Black Pearl Bar Vũng Tàu, in English. Also instead of taking a bus, you can take a popular and faster option by high speed ferry from Saigon harbor to Vung Tau beach city for another unique water scenic experience. Please look this up (GreenlinesDP Fast Ferry). I know you’ll love the experience. In Vung Tau, the dock of this express ferry is only about couple km from the Black Pearl Bar and on the same scenic ocean cliffside road.

@btingey Год назад

The train is great if your taking days and many stops… but 36 hours on a direct train instead of $34 for a plane ticket… is not my idea of a “good time”… but you still kept your good attitude so that’s great.

@SD-rl3pf Год назад

likewise. we did 3 internal flights last trip. Cheapest was $28 Can Tho to Danang. Most expensive $50 Hanoi to Sagain, all with 15kg luggage included. But, I am a pedantic planner, so all booked well in advance. Not sure what prices you pay if wing it and try to get tickets day or so before

@btingey Год назад

@@SD-rl3pf I’ve traveled Southeast Asia for decades… always just “wing it” and buy tickets or even hotels at the last minute. Works fine until it doesn’t… like holidays, high season etc… but those are times I avoid… wouldn’t want to try and buy a last minute ticket over Chinese New Year for example.

@Creees Год назад

$34 doesnt include bags does it? Or vietjet has a million delays 🤣🤣

@SD-rl3pf Год назад

@@Creees 15kg free checked luggage with Vietjet. We paid $28 with 15kg luggage included Can Tho-Danang. And if you have more than 15kg luggage travelling in Asia, you are taking way too much. We were around 10kg each and that included a 1kg tripod

Vietnam National Assembly discussed building a North-South Express Train nearly two decades ago. Stopped there because of financial problems. Now they are revisiting this stuff. Yeah, the common choice is flying, but you will not have an awesome video like this. I am pleased that you chose the VIP room. The best experience you could have on that train. And I know that there is a 24-hour train. why did you not choose it? FYI, the train can be faster but the rail width is not standard today. It's too narrow and increasing the speed makes it unsafe. The railways in VN were built at the beginning of the 20th century by the French. Thus, slow train for now.

Trains in Vietnam are not currently the choice of local people, and the railway management company has been losing money for decades, so the trains are very bad and are mostly used for transporting goods.
