Just as the title asks.. I see the weather isn’t good on the weather app and on Google maps.. do you think I should visit or skip it in this season? Need an answer soon, running out of time with visa 🥲.

Hi everyone! I'm planning on visiting Vietnam in early January with my in laws. We plan on going on the Fansipan cable car with my 2 year old neice. Would it be ok for her do you reckon or should we choose a more kid friendly experience? Thanks!!

I'm wondering if giving a small gift to a hotel staff member is appropriate, and if so, what would be a thoughtful one? I received truly above-and-beyond assistance at my hotel by a particular staff member and I'd like to thank her.

Hey, I'm currently in Mai Châu and I want to to Na Mèo Border.

Du you know if it's possible to reach it by bus ?

I try to ask, the people here don't know if it's possible or not. (I can take 2 or 3 bus I just need to know where to go 🧑🏽‍🦯)

I try to go in the "bus station" but it's totally abandoned. Do you know a website or maybe Facebook page for see where I can go from Mai Châu ?

Thanks ! 🪷

Hi there - traveling to Vietnam from Australia Friday the 15th of November. Am hoping to spend some time in central Vietnam including Hué. Can anybody update on how the flood situation is at the moment? While I’m at it - any recommendations for travel in central Vietnam?

I’m (24 M) and I want a male therapist to massage me. Does anyone know where I can find one in Hanoi?

Hi everyone! My family (two adults and two kids, ages 6 and 2) is considering a move to Vietnam, and I have a few questions. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience living there, especially families with young children.

1.	Budget: Is $5,000 a month enough for a comfortable lifestyle for a family of four?
2.	Housing: What’s the best approach to finding housing? Should we book a place through Airbnb initially, or is it better to search for a home upon arrival? We’re looking for something spacious – perhaps even a house – since we have two young kids and need room for everyone.
3.	Location: Given that we have small children, which city would be the best choice for family life? We’d prefer somewhere that’s child-friendly with good amenities. Access to water and nice beaches preferred
4.	Activities for Kids: In general, are there many entertainment options for kids in Vietnam? We’re looking for places and activities that would be suitable for young kids.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

UPD: school expenses are not included into this budget

Good day! I went to Haiphong a few years back for a work trip and I really liked the leafy vegetable they always served as a side dish. It smelled and tasted really good. I hope you can help me. Thank you!

What do the colours represent? What about the meaning behind the music? Any details please share, I want to understand the significance of all details of this

Hello! I booked an Airbnb in Saigon and was asked to provide each guest’s passports through the app. Is that normal and/or safe? I know in Vietnam the hotels ask for each of our passports, but don’t know about Airbnb’s, especially online

I've been tipping my local pho place because the majority of their customers are locals they get a few tourists occasionally but I figured I'd say thanks and tip. The problem is now they've come to expect it and appear either angry with me or perhaps believe they haven't done a good job if I don't tip them and seem disappointed, or that I'm unhappy with the food. It's created an awkward situation in a place that I like.

I've now stopped tipping, what I do is if I need to pay 30k I might use 40k or a 50k note and say keep the change, but anything larger and I'll get the change back and walk away. I figure the repeat business plus the occasional goodwill is enough to show appreciation without creating the expectation of guaranteed extra money just because I'm there.

The message on screen says to prevent card skimming check for devices attached to the card reader. This ATM has a large green device on the card reader. It looks nothing like the card reader pictured on screen. Is this is skimmer? I tried to jiggle it to see if it came off but it seemed fairly well attached (also didn’t want to break it in case it’s legit)

Hi Folks, we are planning to come to Vietnam in last week of November, i.e. in next two weeks. Goole maps show some cities in central Vietnam are affected due to heavy rain, should we be concerned? How bad is the condition in Central Vietnam?

Hi everyone, I have a package shipped from Japan to Vietnam. For the past week, it has been stuck in Vietnam customs. Does anyone know if its possible to contact them to enquire why the package is stuck there? fyi Im not in Vietnam, but shipping a package to a friends place there. Thanks

Hi guys,

Planning a trip to Vietnam during January and we were hoping to go somewhere to relax, like at a beach resort around Tet.

We were initially thinking Phu Quoc, but after reading a lot of comments on reddit, have deterred myself from going there.

Can someone please help. I would love to stay at a resort in Danang, Quy Nhon etc but from what I read the central part of Vietnam is cold during this period.

Any help appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi, I arrived yesterday to Nha Trang and I am wondering where all the tourists go out at night? I felt like everyone was local where I went, any recommendations?

I ordered a lot on shopee with Cash on Demand and some of the items where broken, so i send them back. Shopee added the amount to my Shopee wallet, but i can not cashout with a foreign credit card (your card is not supported) nor us the wallet (have to identify and my passport is also not allowed). Did someone had this problem before?

Anyone in here have experience with making your own soy bean milk with a nut milk maker?

I'm looking at some nut milk makers on amazon but have no idea which one is good.

The idea is ease and convenience, being able to make it and enjoy within minutes.

I saw a lady using a red one on Facebook, but I can't find that video anymore. In the video, she places the soy beans into the milk maker and then drinks it immediately without straining. Now that I'm thinking about it, how is she doing that because I've only seen the more expensive ones like Almond cow that don't require straining.

The cheaper 50 dollar ones on amazon, at least from people that demonstrate it on youtube, all those ones you have to manually strain.

Hi! My partner and I have booked Vietnam from 14 January- February 2025 (non refundable), we have never been to Vietnam before.

We didn't realise this overlapped with TET holiday and now are super worried. We are flying into Hanoi and out of Saigon/Ho Chi Min. From the 28th Jan-2 Feb (which I believe is TET holiday?) we were planning on traveling from Phong No on the 28th to Hoi an and staying in Hoi an till the 2nd Feb (seeing the lanterns, getting tailor made clothes and shoes, night markets and day trip to Da Nang golden bridge).

But I've been doing some reading/research and I now am super worried that everything will be closed in Hoi An during TET. Will there be any cafes or food places open and tailors working? Will there still be night markets and lanterns on water? Is there somewhere else in Vietnam during TET better to go instead?

Below is overall itinerary of the trip. I'm super concerned as I was really excited to get tailor made clothes in Hoi An but I don't know how I would rearrange around the trip itinerary around TET.

Any help is much appreciated!!! :)

Hi all, I'm travelling with parents, my parents can't hike for long and I'm not a keen swimmer so I don't want to do Kayaking. Is there any suggestions around 30 dollars for a day trip including transportation from Hanoi which is a cruise only to see the Ha Long Bay?

If I book a day trip on Klook will I be able to opt out of any Kayaking?

Thanks

Hi all my girlfriend and i are having her family come visit hcmc over christmas and we were hoping to find a substantial christmas buffet for christmas day. I understand from research that most 5 star and some 4 star hotels do buffets. My question is that does any one know a buffet that is less seafood and more meats ect? And how do i go about booking the six tickets we would need.

Much appreciated
