Ah it’s a great pleasure to go there! Such a stunning place, my favourite in Vietnam!

@@alrightanton excause me I also love youtuber can I get your whatsap?

Haha whatsapp is a bit too much but if you need you can reach me on my IG!

Thanks Dina!☺️ Yeah that place was so nice to just sit, relax and enjoy the silence and views. Very low key and very peaceful. You should go there😏

@alrightanton I can see this, so serene. Maybe, one day. Indonesia seems to have beautiful spots! Thanks for capturing them so vividly :)

Also happy to share ☺️ Indonesia is magical. There’s so much to explore.

Haha Google it man. They are gigantic! We’re waiting for you here Jonny! Come back and I’ll show you flying foxes!

Thanks! Enjoy your flying too!!

Yeah that Tsunami story is pretty damn hardcore. I didn’t really involve everything about it, it’s a huge story, but yeah, that Boxing Day tsunami was a terrible disaster

Дякую матусенька, для тебе це і роблю щоб подивилася місця красиві здалечку у комфорті на твоєму здоровенному телевізорі😅☺️ Хотілося б і мені глянути як ще воно виглядає у цьому повному 4К😂

@@alrightanton 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Have a great time there! It’s a lovely island with some really cool diving spots! Good luck with seeing the whale sharks!🎉

Thank you!! I spent quite a bit of time in that city which gave me plenty of time to film the city from all sorts of angles😅

Oh thank you so much for your kind words! With the current TH-cam rules it’s quite hard to gain much recognition when this is not my main job. But I’m rather stubborn and will keep doing this as long as there are some people who find my videos useful or pleasing 😊

Oh I’d be careful there. Be seen footage from there. I suppose people do fly in that area. But it’s right on the border with China so I’d be super cautious about flying my drone. And officially if you get met by police they’ll probably immediately say no. It’s really tempting but I’d think twice before flying there.

Thank you!☺️ That place is so mesmerizing!

Heya, nah, I don't think so. They don't even scan your bags on arrival. You just walk in and that's all. I've flown in and out multiple times and never had any problems with my drone there

@@alrightanton thanks man, greetings from Indonesia.. Im going to visit Vietnam soon

Ah lovely. You’re welcome to come here. My next video is actually going to be about another spot in Indonesia. This time it’s going to be about Pulau Weh!

@@alrightanton wow pulau we (weh island) that's good the westernmost island of Indonesia. I suggest you next come to, natuna island, dieng central java, mount ijen, bromo, komodo island, raja ampat island.. good spot for droning there

@@alrightanton btw, is there any bus from nobai airport to sapa pay by cash at there / ticket kiosk?

You’re welcome! To be honest I’m very never had any problems in the airports. People in the comments have shared similar feelings. I’ve flown from various airports in Vietnam and it doesn’t seem like the authorities care much about the drones. It’s not illegal to own them here. You have to be careful where you fly it but just carrying it around appears to be just fine

Yeah the police here can be sometimes rather “unfair”. They’ve stopped me on my bike a couple of times and after realizing I had all necessary documents still would demand a bribe for some made up reason.

@@alrightanton Right. I lived there 8 years without a permit. My permit was a bill of 500000vnd.

Fourth year for me here. Got a license but that doesn’t really stop the police…

Just carry on. I’ve flown in and out multiple times now and no one seemed to really care about the drone. Drones are openly sold in Vietnam so I suppose just owning a drone doesn’t bother the authorities now. You may need to be careful flying it, yes, but carrying it doesn’t appear to be a problem anymore

Haha well to be fair I’ve added every single shot of the orangutans that I saw there. This is a travel blog format. In a way I wish I could be making videos entirely about the places and not including anything about me much but then no one watches this stuff. Why would they if they can go to some BBC planet and see the same in a much higher quality format. My observation is that people do seek to watch things on the topics they are interested but in most of the cases a presence of a person telling a story plays a massive role in helping the videos to get more views. Rules of the genre

Heya. I think the best way will be to talk to your tour guides and see what they say. They are normally aware of these kind of things and can give some good advice. I often rely on locals, they have tourists traveling with their drones all the time and they are usually well aware of the common procedures.

Probably 7.5 It’s really good. Chill, relaxing, beautiful, place I stayed had some awesome food. I wish there was a bit more to do. It’s not very well developed so there’s a huge territory but sometimes not that much is happening there. For a relaxing holidays is just great. For high adventure seekers it may be a bit boring. It kinda depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to relax an enjoy the scenery without any unnecessary noise and hustle - this place is close to ideal. If you’re looking for thrilling adventures, noise and rumble but classy bars and restaurants then this place is certainly not for it.

Ah yeah that’s a must too. Weather there is really unpredictable. Most of the time when I was there it was nice and sunny, but that’s a tropical island, things might change really quickly😅

Nice! Thanks for sharing! The beauty of Tioman is that it is rather low key and the government seems to be happy about the way it is and doesn’t want to turn it into a huge Disney land (like they do in other places like Vietnam).

Mmm never really thought about that. Potentially… Could try to Google that but there might be a bit of a language barrier. What you could try is to get on those Facebook expat groups (for Hanoi its “Hanoi Massive” there are a few groups. I think one has been taken over by housing agents but the other is still functioning with real people , for Saigon I think it’s just “Hcmc expats” or something like that) Just possibly post there and see whether anyone responds. This could potentially work.

Nope, no problems at all just stay away from the airport and military bases. Check the comments down below. There’s a bunch of pole who have been thinking about doing the same and some I think are actually in Da Nang now filming

Yeah I’ve seen comments about that before. Well again I can only speak from my experience, to me the island felt extremely safe. With all these travel places I would be more concerned about drunkards being completely out of their control after a boozy night. Koh Tao is not really a party island and feels more like for sporty/family people. I didn’t sense any threat there. As usual you shouldn’t be doing anything stupid but that’s the same rule everywhere. You piss off locals and they’ll come after you.

@@alrightanton What makes you think that the people that vanished were just drunkards? That sounds very ignorant. Even if that is the case does a drunkard tourist deserve to die or become food for the animals in the jungle like some of the victims? If you were a girl and a thai man made advances and you just were not interested would that mean "piss off locals" and deserve to die? What is happening here is surely something more sinister than that.

No that’s not what I was saying. I mean I would be more concerned of drunkards approaching me and try to get something from me. People getting wasted and deliberately trying to get into trouble with other foreigners on their holidays. To me that’s a bigger threat really. Obviously nobody deserves to die but genuinely this whole “Koh Tao Death Island” drama seems to be massively exaggerated. I spent a week there doing my license and exploring the island, and doing all that on my own and never seen any thing that could be considered as a “threat”.

You’re most welcome, I’m sure you’re gonna have a great time there!

I’m living in Vietnam and fly my drone here every now and then! There were a bunch of people in the comments who were heading to Vietnam, do check with them if you wanna do some joint drone shoots!

Oh nice. Yeah you’re gonna have a great time there! October is still a pretty warm season, the temperature will hold around 32 which is pretty much perfect for a boat cruise with that fresh breeze. You’re gonna have a great time!

Oh thanks! Yeah Tam Dao is nice. Though my recommendation would be that you go there before reaching SaPa or Ha Giang. Tam Dao is lovely but it certainly loses in comparison with other spots in the north. I once made this mistake and went to BaBe lake after touring around Ha Giang. And well after that mind blowing beauty of Ha Giang , Ba Be lake didn’t really impress me😅 And it’s not because it’s not worth a visit, but mainly because Ha Giang experience was overshadowing anything else I saw afterwards 😂

I think technically and legally probably yes. But in reality no one really asks for it and there is no clear way of how this can be done.

I own a motorbike incense which didn’t stop the local police from demanding a bribe. Not gonna go into details but yeah, owning official docs in Vietnam doesn’t always mean that no one will try to get something from you. With airports the drone app won’t let you take off any near of them. Maybe with a side app you could do that but I wouldn’t recommend that especially in the restricted areas. But did you end up obtaining that license?

You’re welcome and enjoy the filming! Those places are really good for this, I think mountainous areas are probably the most suited for drone filming!

Oh all the pleasure is mine! An absolutely charming place, really enjoyed my stay there!

Yeah, I suppose Nha Trang is a good place to settle down, busy as any other city in Vietnam but probably not as much as Hanoi or Saigon

@@alrightanton yea but we get better weather. That's a big thing for me over hcm.

Yeah I think so. Well the weather is a bit nicer and the traffic is a bit lighter. But then it’s much smaller and doesn’t have as many cool places as HCMC does. I suppose it is all for the personal preferences really.

Good luck sir! Safe flying there, Vietnam is a great place for making some drone shots!

Thanks brother I am also visiting with my mini 4 pro to hanoi in June 🤞

@@GhumakkadSachin when is that bro my bro?

@@alrightanton I'm praying it will go smooth

You should be have any problems in Hanoi. I’ve flown in and out with my drown multiple times and never experienced and issues with the border control

Yeah I think being respectful is a general rule wherever you travel. I never really felt threatened there but probably again because I was careful and didn’t do anything stupid.

I don’t think so. I’ve never experienced any challenges with it. And we’ve just had a guy in a comments who has travelled to Da Nang and took his drone with him and he had no issues with it at all

@@alrightanton Thanks for the information...

Glad you liked it☺️It was quite a bit of a challenge. But yeah those encounters were one of a kind really…

@@alrightanton I don’t doubt that 😋

Hey Dave oh thanks for letting me know. Yeah that’s quite of an odd one. It feels like they’ve set up some AI generator that almost automatically generates videos every two days. And looks like it is using footage of other people that it can find on the net. I did not receive any message from them asking to use my footage so that’s rather weird. Let me check what’s on about them

Haha sometimes they can chase you down on the ground! Where do you use your footage?

Yeah I saw his channel. I was rather surprised. When I was there it get as one of the safest places ever. A small tropical paradise with some peaceful and fun living divers. But then yeah when I started digging into its history it does look a bit grim. Not sure whether it is that dangerous. I stayed there for almost a week and I felt totally safe, I didn’t have any unpleasant encounters there unlike maybe in Bangkok. I suppose a rule of thumb will be to be careful wherever you really go. Because at the same time it would be such a shame to miss this island just because of these stories. It’s such a nice place to be!

Glad you liked it!☺️ I tired to make it a little more personal than my other videos to give a bit of a taste of how it would feel like to go on a hike like this. I hope I managed to show it right😅😊

@@alrightanton sorry to hear you got food poisoning. I know those tours are not cheap and on top of that they fed you unsanitary food

Ah I wouldn’t blame them for this, none of my friends got the poisoning just me. I think it was more of a problem of my stomach that it couldn’t adjust to a new diet quickly, we’d eat rice three times a day, I’m not really used to that and then just the whole physical pressure was quite a lot so I think my body just couldn’t handle it anymore😂

Hey man, my opinion is that you should be just fine. I’ve flown in Hanoi international airport multiple times with my drone and never had problems, I’ve had other people here flying to Da Nang - no challenges. I think the chances are rather low that you will have any issues with it. It is hard to predict though. Vietnam has rather strict laws, most of the time they are not enforced, but sometimes depending on the police it may happen. That’s why no 100% guarantee really. Though I think you should be just fine, I would expect more challenges when flying it here. I wouldn’t do it in a very open public. People might freak out (I imagine your drone looks pretty impressive) and call the police and they will order you to stop your filming. But launch it further away from the crowds and you should be fine.

@@alrightanton thank you so much for the help and advices. I appreciate it and I’ll take the shot taking my drone. Great video with awesome shots btw.

Thanks! Once you're through do let me know how it went! Lots and lots of people are asking about it😅

@@alrightanton I will let you know once u finish my trip and send you details 👍🏼

@@bilifafuuu6290hi friend! Have you visited Vietnam, Da nang? Did you have any problems with drones at the airport?

Дякую матуся🤩 Так це було досить таки веселий досвід оце бродити гуляти по тим джунглям. Незабутня подорож!☺️

@@alrightanton Я буду використовувати твоє відео як навчальний матеріал, коли будемо проходити будь яку тему, пов’язану з тваринами або подорожами. 🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦

Непогана ідея☺️ Особливо для високих рівнем це може бути досить гарним матеріалом для уроку😊

I deliberately didn’t make any pauses there!😂

It was indeed! And thanks a lot for your amazing music, it really suited this video!☺

Nice! Yeah Vietnam with its landscapes is a great place for filming. Which one are you going for?

Heya, it was recorded near this spot. Pretty damn beautiful yeah☺️ maps.app.goo.gl/Jny8UgsqJrJNPSgo7?g_st=ic

I’ve never been there in June, I heard it can be a little bit more rainy than in February but at the same time it’s still not the rainy season. So still should be good enough to go

@@alrightanton I thought June was already rainy season

I checked here, apparently their real rain season is in October/November... www.sunheron.com/asia/thailand/southeast-thailand/koh-tao-weather-climate/#:~:text=Koh%20Tao%20(Thailand)%20is%20a,94%20%C2%B0F)%20in%20April. Well, it's also important to note that those are tropics, it can rainy any time really. Just in some seasons it rains more and in some less...
