Hey there, Im visiting HCMC for a few days with friends and was wondering if there’s anywhere to watch live soccer games? Would appreciate any advice, thanks!!

This was our house in VN. We left it in April of 1975. It's on Duong Tran Quoc Toan now Dung 3 thang 2. I can't recall the address.

Hello! I am going on a work trip to Singapore and decided to tack on a trip to Vietnam. We (my wife) are looking at around 2 weeks or so in Vietnam and wanted to concentrate on North and Central Vietnam. With that in mind, I wanted to get any thoughts on this possible itinerary I planned.

• 5-Apr: Arrive at Hanoi
• 6-Apr: Hanoi
• 7-Apr: Hanoi
• 8-Apr: Hanoi
• 9-Apr: Bai Tu Long Cruise
• 10-Apr: Bai Tu Long Cruise
• 11-Apr: Travel to Ninh Binh
• 12-Apr: Ninh Binh
• 13-Apr: Ninh Binh
• 14-Apr: Travel to Phong Nha
• 15-Apr: Phong Nha
• 16-Apr: Phong Nha
• 17-Apr: Travel to Hue
• 18-Apr: Hue
• 19-Apr: Travel to Danang
• 20-Apr: Danang (My Son)
• 21-Apr: Danang (Hoi An)
• 22-Apr: Danang (Beaches)
• 23-Apr: Danang to Singapore

Would you recommend any additions/deletions to this. Are we spending too little too much time in any place. Also, if we keep this plan, what is the best way to get from Phong Nha to Hue. Would it be train from Dong Hai? Would bus better?

Can someone explain what is going on with Burger King ketchup in Vietnam? I get the side of spicy sauce, but why this color/flavor for ketchup?

Was wondering if anyone has travelled into Vietnam departing from Bali, and then flying from Ho Chi Minh to Australia? Want to know if there’s any certain requirements in regards to visa and if any one has had trouble getting into Vietnam from indo on an Australian passport

If i wanted to bring some smaller gifts for a driver, host, or someone who I just like, what is something that is available in the us that would be a cool small gift?

HI

I'm visiting Vietnam in August 2025 and would love to know any recommendations of tours or surronding areas that we could do? I'm staying from 6-10 August so far i have booked Ha long cruise on 7/08 but I don't know what else to book? I know that there are things to see and go around Hanoi which are one hour away or so but don't know the names. Any recommendations of restaurants, cafes, would be much appreciaite it!

Hi all, my partner and I are planning a trip to Vietnam this winter and are playing with the idea of renting or buying motorcycles to travel around on.

Neither of us have motorcycle licenses from our home country (Canada), will this be an issue? Can we just get an international driver's license?

Any recommendations or help is appreciated!

Hello! Can anyone give me an idea of what they paid for a flight from LAX to SGN in late December?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I had booked two Vietjet tickets through two different Travel Portals. The confirmation I received from the Travel Portals had my correct name. When I downloaded the tickets from official vietjet site, I see that there is an extra 'MR' in my name at the end. I mailed Vietjet and they said to contact travel agency, but the travel agency had sent me correct name. Please let me know if anyone else experienced this and how to correct this.

Example: "Last, First MR"

I'm trying to find a contact at one of the manufacturing facilities that Bauer hockey uses in Vietnam. Paegear, Chinh, Lawnyard, Vung Tau are some of the manufacturing places that Bauer uses...

Does it happen in other places too? How do these people even make money if they can't sell their product. Why they don't even need to sell?

Some of my most memorable moments was when I stayed in Phu Quoc for just a couple of nights. The sunset was incredible and the beach was chill and only a dozen people or so at any given moment. I met a dude with a jetski and another guy with these floating chairs. Paradise

All the forecasts seem to be very different, I'm doing a bike trip from the 18th to the 27th, is it generally pretty wet and cold during that time?

I've booked a flight in and out, and the first hotel in Hanoi. Haven't booked anything else though. Is it better to just figure it out when we get there? We have 3 weeks, and will be flying out of Ho Chi Mihn. What do I need to book ahead of time, if anything?

I’ll be in HCMC next week vacationing and my mom in Canada wants me to grab this for her. Anyone know where I can find this? Thanks for your help!

I am going to both the South and to the North on Jan. 1st for the first time. I was wondering what kind of clothes I should bring and if there is anything else that you wish you would have brought with you.Thanks.

Hi community,

I am looking for contemporary Vietnamese artists of all kinds (painting, music, textile, any form of art) that could produce art that could be engaging for primary aged children. It is for an educational research project with Vietnamese children.

Could anyone give me any recommendations and share links to their work?

Thank you!

Is there any national park that is open or does someone know some cool places here? I really like animals so that would be a plus too. But not the dumb Russian aquarium. That is too expensive. Maybe someplaces cool for 🤿 or hiking

Hi, i will be spending Christmas in Hanoi, where can you get a good Christmas day meal? The classics like turkey, plum cake etc.. a buffet also would be nice. Also what else would you recommend doing in Hanoi for Christmas? I’ve only heard about Hang Ma Street and the St Joseph’s Cathedral. Would they have an English service at the church? Thank you. 🙏

In USA Got a call from from someone looking for my wife using her old name. Claimed to be from Vietnam embassy. Tried asking why they were calling and their name but they hung up. Tried calling back and goes to voicemail. The number is 1-(202)-391-3995 reported to ftc

Hi everyone! I'll be visiting Hanoi soon on a tour and would love to try some great local food near the following attractions. Any recommendations for restaurants, street food, or hidden gems in these areas?

• Train Street
• Temple of Literature
• Dong Xuan Market
• Ngoc Son Temple
• Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
• One Pillar Pagoda
• Ha Long Bay
• Saint Joseph Cathedral
• Opera House

I also wanna try nem chua! If anyone knows where I can find a good spot for that, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Im a tourist. I want to buy cheap phone case. No brand. Particularly for iphone with magsafe. Any street or shop I can check out?

I've been here for two weeks now and I'm going to a wedding this week end,

Do you know any barbershop that knows how to trim a beard ?

A retail shop where a vendor sells- vegetables, snacks, meat, beers, shampoos, coffee..the list continues. Just one woman handling everything with a smile. Gotta respect these kind of Hustle. 🫡

I was trying to cross a street today, but traffic was intense. I’m new here, and I was visibly struggling. Some girl was passing by, asked me if I wanted to cross, and crossed with me. After she crossed again and got on a bus, she didn’t even need to cross, but she still helped me. Maybe that’s normal here and in some other places in the world, but that was insane to me. That’s just one example, I often get called handsome, I get offered food, drinks for free, etc. Definitely my favourite country.
