A while back - maybe as far back as 2 years or so - there was a guy on here that wanted to either move to or visit Vietnam, but had a serious peanut allergy. I've thought about you like once a week, peanut allergy guy.

Did you ever go to Vietnam? If you did, how was your trip? My wife and I are returning home today from our latest trip to Vietnam, and we had a salad with peanuts in it and I thought of you again. Lol I hope you managed a visit, and I hope it was great!

I hope you see this. I've been thinking about it for years. Lol

Hi all

We’re planning a trip to HCMC soon! I’ve been doing my own research, I found a lot of food spots, great shopping places, historic buildings/museums etc. I find it incredibly interesting to visit. However whenever I read discussions about different cities in Vietnam people always hate on HCMC and rather spend more time at other cities. Why’s that?

I would really like to hear positive things about HCMC because it makes me a little less excited about the trip everytime someone say HCMC is not worth the visit or just do 1-2 days.

I also find it interesting how a lot of people are interested in culture stuff but somehow don’t include the museums in their itinerary.

I need help, I am walking around old wuarters and can’t find anything like this. Where do I go?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to buy some football jerseys while in Vietnam and was wondering where the best spots are in Hanoi or Da Nang. I’m open to both authentic and high-quality fake jerseys, as long as the price is reasonable.

Any recommendations for markets, stores, or specific areas where I can find good deals? Also, any tips on bargaining would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Going south to north next week, for a month.

1. Should I book accommodation in advance? Like, are there any holidays events that would require advance booking?

2. I plan to bring 1K$ in cash but use credit cards whenever possible, does it make sense?

3. If to use ATM, which chain/Bank offer lower withdrawal rates?

4. Where to find recommended places to eat? Is Google Maps (ratings reviews) reliable for Vietnam?

5. Is it acceptable to haggle at the market? What’s the typical foreign extra I should try to reduce?

6. Can you buy Viagra Cialis over counter?

7. Any common scams I should be aware of?

Hello! Please can someone recommend a nice silicone free conditioner for dry wavy hair please ? I used the pink maui that worked well but conveniently didn't brink it with me to Vietnam!

She didn't know the name of it in English which is why I'm asking here. I don't eat a lot of meat so I can't describe the taste, but it had a bit of a chewy texture.

was tasty :)

Has anyone been able to get through customs with their sex toy recently at Tan Son Nhat? Are they strict with it?

I am trying to buy some but the prices are all over the place. Does anyone know the standard price? I also had this issue with some shoes they were telling me 600k at once place then I found the same ones for 150k a few streets away.

Want to find a Nón lá in Hanoi thats well made, anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Could someone please explain how to use these cards. It appears to be a chan deck with 100 cards. Thank you

Hello everyone and happy new year! I am a teacher here in Vietnam and I am wondering everyone's recommended methods of transferring VND- GBP for my return home. I have an account with PVComBank, and have tried Binance but it seems like there is a step missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

Hi guys, my travel insurance I bought at home has recently ran out. I am doing the ha giang loop next week so it might be a good idea to get some more.

Anyone recommend any companies that I could get insured with that are reliable and will pay out If needs be?

Thank you in advance!

I'm vietnamese but living overseas, going back to visit family every year or so. I have a Viettel phone number, but they told me that if there's no activity in the account for a few months they will automatically cancel my plan. Whats the best way for me to maintain activity on the phone number? From what I gather, the options are:

• Sign up for a plan called "VT Vang" which cost 50k a year. Have anyone done this before?
• Have my family top up the plan and use the number once in a while.

Thanks in advance.

Mình ở nước ngoài nhưng hay về Việt Nam chơi, có 1 sđt và muốn giữ số để dùng mỗi khi về. Mình xem thì có 2 cách để giữ:

• Đăng ký gói Viettel Vàng, 1 năm 50k. Nhưng chưa dùng cách này bao giờ.
• Người nhà hàng tháng nạp tiền và sử dụng số.

Đã ai dùng thử gói VT Vang chưa? Hoặc có cách nào khác để giữ số?

I plan to stay 2 months in Nha trang at the end of the month. I’ve narrowed it down to the intercontinental and the costa suites. Is anyone here familiar with either? Open to recommendations for other towers

I’ve just quit my job and am planning to travel to Vietnam.

What is a good amount of time to set aside to enjoy the country?

Recommendations for places in Vietnam for toothgems? We’re traveling around so can be in any major cities.

Google isn’t finding too many and when I do message, I’m not getting a reply so maybe there’s some hidden ones. 🦷 💎

Hi! My friend and I are planning a 3 week trip spread between VN and Thailand. We are flying into Hanoi late July, and will have 5-6 full days before flying to TH. I am wondering if the 2D/3N tours including sleeper bus travel from Hanoi will be enough time to explore the Ha Giang region. We also want to squeeze in a Ha Long Bay visit. Any other tips or tour company experiences are welcome!

Hello, I am in Hanoi right now. Where can I buy spice packets for pho in Old Quarters?

Hello! I’m going to visit vietnam soon to travel and see the city. I will be there for a month.

I am wondering if I am able to send a small package from Vietnam back to Canada (my home country). As the shopping in Vietnam is pretty great, I want to know if I could expand my room for purchases (as I’ll be backpacking) by sending some things home.

Will be staying in Vinh for a couple of weeks. Heard that Grab delivery isn't available there. Anyone can advice me on which food delivery app to use? Appreciate it a lot, thank you.

Hey all. I need my Australian drivers licence posted from Aus to Vietnam. I will be there from around the 7th to 20th. I don’t have any hotels booked yet. Is it possible to have something posted to a post office so I can pick it up? Or somewhere else like that? Thank you!

Hi, hoping for your help on this one since we’re kind of really clueless on what to do!

My friend and I booked a one week trip in Ho Chi Minh in the last week of February. Upon planning, we realize that one week is a long time to spend in Ho Chi Minh. We’re really chill travelers, but we realized that there might be opportunity to travel to some nearby areas given how long we’re there for (as tourists).

Since we’re coming from another tropical country, we’re not really that interested in the beaches that much so we’re looking into Da Lat. our concern now comes from what we have planned tentatively which is to leave Ho Chi Minh for Da Lat late at night via sleeper bus and arrive to Da Lat early in the morning. Spend the whole day at Da Lat and then leave for Ho Chi Minh at around 10:30 PM of the same day that we arrived vi Sleeper Bus again. I’m pretty sure that it has been done before but I’m wondering if it’s logical or worth it to do so.

To add, this is our first time to visit Vietnam and are just open to new experiences that are still quite touristy. So far our itinerary only consists of Mongo land, the flower farm, the waterfall and the alpine coaster. We are very much open to ideas as to what we could do in that lot or if we should even go to Dalat the first place. We’re definitely open to just staying in Ho Chi Minh, but we would need recommendations as to what we could do there apart from the usual tourist spots.

Thank you, amd appreciate your thoughts here!

I am doing retirement planning and would like to retire in Da Nang. I got most of the stuff planned out, but am kinda worried about transportation. I heard for the inexperienced, it's incredibly risky to use a motorbike there. but Grab is too expensive to use multiple times a day.
