@baldandbankrupt invited me from the Philippines to join him and @BackpackerBen on an epic Journey from the North of Vietnam to the South at Ho Chi Minh.
Ohhh COOL 😎 Wasn't expecting this from you Tim. Quite a supprise. This has got you buzzing too Mate, it's given you new life. Not sure if Backpacker Ben will make the distance. Time will tell I guess. I'll be watching with great interest. Enjoy! Happy travels and stay safe. 👍🙂
Thats a great tip about confirming the license plate on any taxi! Have been to a few places where I've been warned beforehand about the possible scam. Some places the possible robbery. Can never be too careful! Loving the content Tim!
Poor Backpacker Ben has the worse luck on his trip videos, from getting food poisoning numerous times and now crashing his bike! Glad to see you finally with Mr Bald Tim and I’m looking forward to more fun to come. 👍
Hi didnt crash his bike. You can tell right from the get-go bald swerved into him or gave him a little bump. Ben's first words were "why would you do that??" and then bald walking off looking for water and being quiet you knew he knew he fucked up lol
Great show lads , looking forward to the rest !!! Rookie sent home to England by a life flight !! Lol !! Damn shame Harold Balder isn’t with you , that would have been Epic !!
In 2009 I landed in Hanoi @ 2 am from BKK on a delayed Air France flight. I just followed the locals & took an Airport Limousine bus. I can't remember the price but it was nominal. I think Hanoi airport is 70 km outside Hanoi, so a taxi is very expensive. Only use if you can fill the car. Blad looks to have put on a few pounds weight.
So nice to see this collaboration with you & Ben of Bald & Bankrupt! Super cool Tim!! Your videos just keep getting better! So nice to see you & Ben together! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us Tim.
Tim, this series with Bald and Bankrupt and BP ben looks like it will be epic. I knew Ben was going to crash. As soon as I saw the way he took off on the scooter I said that dude is gonna eat it. Keep an eye on him Timoy...now he is paranoid and will be extra nervous when he is riding. Bald and Bankrupt is hilarious. Safe travels.
Yep you can count on Tim to show the good and the bad. I have had three bike wrecks in my 45 years of bike touring. None in the states. Walked away from all. Korea, Philippines and yes Saigon wow. Best of luck on this one Tim. Watch your six. Prayers for you and the guys.
Need to be careful with minor scratches and cuts in vn if you are having a shower . my minor finger cut got infected i ended up with a fever and took about 6 months to come right
An experienced motorcyclist will do what Tim did. Turn off the engine, and if the down rider can walk to safety, get the down bike off the way from passing traffic. Backpacker is no Rider. If you can ride a motorcycle in the Philippines, like Tim, you can ride anywhere.
$27 a night for that hotel seems great. I have stayed in way WAY worse places for 3 times that price. I guess it depends on the local economy. I paid $12 a night for a room in India that would have cost $350 a night in the US. Love the vlogs Tim. I'm catching up on some of your videos. Hope all is well with you.
Did the little kitty survive?? i am so excited to see this journey especially with Tim and Bald. I don't know the other person but so far he is sort of flat. Be safe and don't eat out of a vending machine!!!! hahahaha! Good luck from Canada
At least in Vietnam they can fix a phone screen.... on the spot. Unlike in my beloved Philippines where they dont have the technology, and I speak from experience!
Great steaks at the Filling Station, Tim. I went there two nights in a row back in January 2020. Nice to eat dinner while watching the working girls doing their thing down on the street. 🤣
