Today we arrive into Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh city in southern Vietnam. After a long and wet drive to get here, I was so happy to check into the best hostel room of the trip so far, and then continue to be blown away by the sights and sounds of this vibrant and very livable city.

We are almost at the southern most point, but first let's check out this mega city of Saigon 🇻🇳✌🇻🇳
Try guitar street in District 3 (nguyen tien thuat street) for a more vietnamese experience and see craftsmen at work (and everything half price of district 1)
I'm not American.
But I don't know why people keep on saying that Vietnam won the war 😱
Vietnam became a communist country
And became a poor country.
Looks like they lost
Just like Russia and China
Love to see, that you found some energy and motivation for the last part. 👍💪
Hanoi modern city too! But too tourist go to old and french quarter! Thers a lot modern building in hanoi! One of them landmark 72 and many more to mention
Modern city of vietnam is
Saigon
Hanoi
Nah trang
Danang
My husband and I have never been to Vietnam before and now have this country on our bucket list, thanks to you Paddy! Love all the efforts you’ve put into making this video and the rest of your adventures in Vietnam….and thanks for sharing 😊
Go soon its amazing Vietnam
( Isobel Jobe) My husband and I went to Vietnam independently 8 years ago. We did all our own flights and booked our Hotels with the help of Tripadvisor forum, they supplied us with all the information we needed. We use Vietnam Airlines which were great.
We flew into Hanoi, spent several days there, the. Flew into Hue ( not to be missed, it’s the true Vietnam with wonderful pagodas) Then we took a taxi over the Hai Van pass, we got the name of a reasonable taxi company that does that journey frequently. We then stayed in Hoi An for 10 days, which really was the jewel in the crown of Vietnam, we absolutely loved it there, and it’s a MUST! We the. Flew into Saigon for a further 10 days, visiting Mui Ne for a few days respite from Saigon city. We the. Flew back to the U.K. It was a superb adventure and not to be missed.
BTW, we are not youngsters, I was in my 60’s and my husband was 80! Both fit, and always up for an adventure. Go if you can!
@@georgejobe961 thanks for sharing 😊
welcome all of you to VIetnam
Saigon is the old name of the city, later named after President Ho Chi Minh, because it is associated with the campaign to liberate the South and reunify the country, the campaign named after Ho Chi Minh.
Our President Ho Chi Minh entered the South only once, then he boarded the Amiral Latouche Tréville in 1911 to travel the world to find the way to national liberation.
Since then, Ho Chi Minh did not have the opportunity to go to the South. He missed the South very much, so we changed the name Saigon to Ho Chi Minh in memory of our great President Ho Chi Minh.
It still is the name of the place the people and the culture and will never change
Alot of people around the world still have a mentality that Vietnam is very poor and ruin by war until they visited the country. The truth is Vietnam is not a country like most people think its used to be. The country is not developed yet but definitely not a third world country and still has a long way with alot of issue to do but the future look great and bright.
I am a Saigonese, I am very happy to see where I live through the lens of a foreigner who loves Vietnam. Your videos make me even more proud of the city I live in. Thank you for this.
that's good dear
Saigon. One of my top 5 Asian cities. I loved it there and dreaming of going back.
Me too !!!!! 🙂🙂
Me three.

I have visited Saigon 3 times now, we have made many friends and visited their family. We have been invited to family BBQ and lot's more . The most genuine people I have ever met. ❤️ We will be back this year hopefully 🙏
Spent a few days in Saigon back in May 2000. 22 years ago. Almost no cars and a few motor bikes. The vast majority of the traffic were bicycles. Very few high rise or even mid rise buildings. WOW! has it ever changed. Thanks for taking us along with you. I look forward to each episode. Keep up the great work!!
Yes. it is truly right! My country has changed a lot.
I love Vietnam, the best foods!!!! friendly people,,, can't wait to revisit and stuff my face with foods 24/7!
Wow, Saigon is almost unrecognizable compared to what it was 20 years ago. It's cleaner, looks way more sophisticated, and It's just as freaking hot, I'm sure. I'm so envious. Great upload, cheers.
Loved HCMC! Been there 4 times now, stayed in a different Districts each time. District One - Oscars Hotel - has to have been my favorite. And the walking street (where you showed us also) right up Nguyen Hue - magnificent! Thanks for the memory Paddy!
Helo you
There’s another route from Phan Thiet/ Mui Ne to Saigon, which runs along the coast, if you want to avoid the National Highway. You follow the coastal road, with much much less traffic and way more nice views, and arrive at Vung Tau, a nice beach resort town. From Vung Tau, you take the ferry to Can Gio, and then cross the bio-reserve area back to the city via South Saigon. This route takes a little more time, but gives you more leisure.
Việt nam khói lửa 🔥 quê hương tôi 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳, hàng vạn người lính 🇻🇳 vietnam vc đã chết
I spent 3 weeks touring and documenting Vietnam for my channel ....what an amazing country, i didnt see enough of it and will be going back soon.
Welcome 🙂
@@ngoclanphuquoc1978 cam on
Been there since 2015, great music scene and never a boring city, go see my friends in the fang pub district 3 for awesome local.musiciams, will be back there next week
Kỷ thuật làm colips rất chất lượng và đẳng cấp, xem rất thích, cảm ơn bạn.
That rolls royce costs 2.5-3 mil USD in Vietnam due to import taxes..in the Usa, that costs 600k USD
Rich people problems!!! Not the most intelligent beings but they WANT us to think they are 😝😝😝🧐🙏🏻❤️
Paddy, I have been following your channel since you were in Hua Hin. This Vietnam series is a really next level. I cannot image anyone do not think about going to or getting interest of Vietnam after watching your videos; such an incredible series. You use GoPro10, ZV-1, and drone very well, and also editing and music are superb.
Thank you for giving us chances to see beautiful worlds.
It’s a respected comment you have made …. 👍 As I say before, there are so much more exciting locations to Vietnam than approximately 450 minutes of another tourists point of view! I appreciate his initial few videos but he then started to get complacent to his real cause and complaints started creeping into his content! My opinion only 🫢😊 He needs a vacation himself I think and reset perhaps🫢🙏🏻
Great work on your video.
I’m back there next week so good to see.
Glad to see your good spirits are back!
Its happy when you enjoyed here where i am living. Thank you for sharing lovely video ☺️
Thank you Paddy! Another great vlog. Saigon and the other cities in Vietnam Nam have been a wonderful and enlightening tour.😍
Your vloggs are ace. I would love to tour Vietnam. Looks incredible.
Thanks paddy
Paddy, it's great film making, editing and presenting. Great job.
Loved Saigon and great to see your trip here.
Cheers! 🍻
This video brought back so many wonderful memories of our 2 week stay in this amazing city and all that we saw and did !!!! Have only just recently found your videos and subscribed and love reliving our many holidays through your eyes. You have such an exuberance for life and and am slowly going through all your past posts that I have missed....... I am a 73 year old lady from Australia but would still just love to hop on the back of your bike and experience again all of these wonderful places....Vietnam was the best ....... safe travels.
Crazy to think Jackie is still guiding tours to the tunnels. He was the guide when I was there in2005. He found out I was South African and called me South Africa all day. Each tunnel section we came to he’d say- South Africa you do the full tunnel. Such a character.
Hanoi also has a lot of modern areas like Saigon, but you have to get out of the old Quarter Paddy! It's called the OLD quarter for a reason :) It's probably the least attractive and least modern part of Hanoi. (Though tourists love it cause I guess it does not look western)
Yep I prefer Hanoi to Saigon. More manageable, nicer architecture, nice old quarter and just have to walk out a little bit for a change of scenery.
The Old Quarter of Hanoi- Hoan Kiem District and the Political Area of Ba Dinh District are not allowed to build tall buildings for architectural and security reasons for heads of state. Just out there is a modern city with tall buildings . Ho Chi Minh City is a richer economic center than Hanoi capital, but the number of high-rise buildings and transport infrastructure cannot match Hanoi.
What do you mean least attractive? It’s not modern but it’s history and the Hanoian government is making a good decision to preserve it instead of building over it. Just like in Paris, nobody thinks of La Defence when thinking about Paris
cond ago
what are you saying ? the old quarter is actually the most interesting part of Hanoi which distinguish it from the lame modernist buildings that you could sadly find all over the world now...I'm vietnamese but i really love the old quarter area
This is so true. Hanoi has one metro line while Saigon is still building one. Hanoi also has more freeways and high rise skyscrapers. Plus many of Vietnam's largest companies are headquarter in Hanoi.
Most tourist tend to stick to the central and Old Quarter so all they see is old and narrow streets. Little do they know if they go into the suburbs a bit is where modern Hanoi with its gleaming skyscrapers everywhere. It's just as modern as Saigon is.
We are headed to Vietnam in just 1 week… your videos are really hyping us up! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻❤️🇻🇳
Hi Paddy, a little encouragement comment, saw your vietnam video in the month of June, made a 12 days trip to vietnam in the past July. No words can describe the country. Love your goofy videos, narratives and jokes in every presentation, also I've already booked a another trip in January for 15days. Please present the videos diligently, it's my evenings routines for the past months. Cheers mate. Thank you
That is what is amazing about Asia - you have the ancient culture, beaches, islands, mountains, jungles in the country side, but then you also have very cosmopolitan cities that are bustling with activity and have all of the Western brands and amenities you could want. As Asia continues to get richer, more and more cities are becoming very modernized like this and now it's not uncommon to see Ferraris and Lambos on the street.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
The reason why President Ho Chi Minh is buried in Hanoi but named for Saigon, you should take a moment to learn the heroic history of my country. Documents coming from Vietnam, we will be 100% accurate, multi-dimensional view. Thank you,Have a great trip in my country
The tunnels at Cu Chi that the tourists try out have been enlarged to fit large westeners but as you found out, it is still hard going. I worked with an ex Australian Army Captain who was selected as a "Tunnel Rat" because of his small size. Those guys were "Sappers" or engineers who could disable booby traps and explosive devices inside the tunnels. Very, very brave men!
Great video Paddy as always, Saigon has it all simply said.
Đất nước của tôi xinh đẹp và yên bình,có 1 nền ẩm thực đa dạng và phong phú, tôi sẽ ở mãi trên quê hương của tôi.
Great to see in this Vlog you look happy .. it’s been a long journey and it’s up and downs but your doing a great job and you have a lot respect from all of us and fellow TH-camrs for keeping it real . Thanks for sharing with us beautiful Vietnam.
Thank you so much!!
I love ya attitude in this video, it was more positive and it’s a feel good video. Thanku
Nice to see you’ve got your smile back Paddy🙂👍🏻
I’ve just got back from the Cu Chi Tunnel tour, I had the same guide as you Paddy, Jackie, a great guy and very informative, had a great day. I showed him your vlog and he loved it, he is going to subscribe to your channel now. Great work mate.
Lifting of spirits, a great steak, nice shiraz, easy peasy lemon squeezey-back right as rain! You’ve definitely educated me on hostels and what little i knew! On my list to explore. A city is always convenient for needs, especially when no struggles of language and easily navigate. Not sure how long you get to rest before your big drive, enough hopefully. Safe travels, thank you🙏🏻❤️
Great video again paddy have a great weekend
great video, as always!
HI Paddy ! welcome to Ho Chi Minh City ! Have a good time with many new things !
there are several interesting historical places in the city so I hope you had a chance to visit them as well. The former presidential palace is really nice. There's a city museum that I thought was quite well done. And the war museum was quite thought-provoking. That long promenade from city hall down to the river you visited is such a neat place - between the fountains that all of the kids love to play in and families just out and about I felt like it was really wholesome. I was there about 3.5 years ago and it's grown quite a bit even since then
Looks like a nice city , living there is a option, love you to paddy 🙏
Hanoi wasnt as big as HCMC but its really similarly westernized. Its just the part of Hanoi you were staying at was the "Old Quarter", which is only a small corner of Hanoi. Hanoi is about 4-5 times bigger than New York city in land area if my memory serve me right
Welcome to TP.Ho Chi Minh! Can't wait to see this one, although all of your videos have been very good. Thanks Paddy.
Another stunning video Paddy, brought me back so many wonderful memories, yet again. Thank you so much, and yes I love Saigon too. I hope you get to stand on the famous helipad at the historic US Embassy, before you move on. With you all the way mate, take care always 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Back on good form Paddy 👍 Yeah those tunnels fascinating stuff, sooo hot and stuffy inside, hard to imagine living inside one for any length of time. Looking forward to your Mekong Delta video.
Wow Paddy.
I am VERY impressed that you did not get wedged stuck in the Cu Chi tunnels like I did back in 2019. Great tour, but at a certain point I had to slither low to the ground in order to get through the tunnel. I reached a point where I became stuck and I had to crawl like a snake. At this point, I lost visual sight of my tour group and I was alone. It was hot and humid and I was sweating like a pig. The only way for me to progress was to slither like a snake and eventually I reached the end of the tunnel into a bunker and when I tried to stand up - I fainted, and when I came to again, my guide had me in an upright sitting down position, with some sweet juice to drink. The rest of my group continued in the tunnels and I bailed and exited - it was the best choice.
Anyway, I truly enjoyed it and realized that those tunnels were built for a Vietnamese body type structure and NOT for someone from the West - which was probably very smart of them from a war strategic point of view.
Beautiful city! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
(Those tunnels though - never thought I'd feel claustrophobic watching a TH-cam video!) 😉
i love your videos, nicely done. if u ever had the chance visit Con Dao island.
i love the way you call this is saigon
Paddy what a fantastic amazing video. From my heart brother you are the best British vlogger in Asia well done mate keep up the great work. Yes we did enjoy the video genuine sole you are 🙏
Good to see you happy mate .the cheeky smile is back 😁
I spent 3 days in Saigon in 1998 and have not been back since. The change is incredible in just 24 years. I did the tunnels and watching you do it brought back the claustrophobia. This has been an incredible journey. Keep your spirits up because I plan to follow along all your future travels.
Love love love Saigon i could live there also. So much to do and see. The war museum is such a sight to see and so much history regarding the war. Awesome place.
we always welcome you. it is an interesting destination.
I have be to HCMC in 2018, 2020, and 2022. It is an amazing place. I have home field advantage when I am there because my fiancé is Vietnamese. I have been all over the city and seen and done a lot. Have been to many other places in Vietnam 🇻🇳 as well.
That was a quick trip to Saigon! There's a lot of interesting places to explore in the city - hopefully you can spend more time here on your next visit! 😊
Very positive vibe in this one.
We have been there this year. I recommend you to visit the „banana mama rooftop bar“ in the evening. Great view and great food there.. 👍
Have a good time!
Thanks for the video.
Awesome video. This makes me want to work remote from here.
I'm in Rach Gia. I really like it here. There's not many tourists & the traffic's not crazy like Ha Noi or Saigon, but it has everything you need.
Better days today, keep up the good work thanks Paddy.
Those calves 🤩
Thankyou so much for your amazing adventure at Vietnam, wish you will back after visa-30day expiry to discovery somewhere you hasn't visit at Vietnam
Wait until the Japanese subway is opened and a few more lines added. Saigon going to be so developed.
awesome, welcome to my city, my friend!!
i've been in there 3 times, hmm.... i have love and hate relationship. it's huge city , where you can find everything. Maybe i will
go again 😁
Things is getting more interesting. Can't wait to see your next move.
Nice one paddy 👍😎👌🤝🙏
Hope you have a great journey in Vietnam
That Saigon steak though ,,,yummy🙆💯🎶🙏👍🙋
Vietnam is already on the bucketlist mate, and thanks to you we enjoyed already so much of all that beauty, thanks 🙏
We miss it also, the Paddy dances everywhere on the country side streets, on top of temples buildings and mountains, lets get some extra thumbs up for that 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Shit mate, i know someone over here who is craving for that steak, 3 more weeks to wait for that 🤫
The tunnel tour, so much not so old history 🙂
To sad what happened back then but good that everyone can learn and see that peace of history so it will not be forgotten.
Anyhow i am rambling myself 😃 as always Paddy, C Ya in the next one, cheers mate 🙌🍻
Great To Know Ho Chi Minh gave you some fresheners and motivation to continue ... the journey to the southern part of Vietnam... Hope we can have your smiley face and your laughter...
Welcome to sai gon. We love you
Hi Paddy, nice to see your vids in Saigon and have a good trip at "Chi Chu tunnel" and "Vui Bien" :D :D LoL
Personally, I thought the hostel 2Passports 1Dream found in Da Lat was WAY nicer. I wish you'd have stayed at that place when you were in Da Lat....and I think it was almost half the price you paid for the one in HCMC. Really wish you'd do a bit more research as you continue your journey as comparison of one extremely modern part of HCMC to that of the Old Quarter of Hanoi isn't correct. One district/area does not a city make...and well, it's called the OLD Quarter for a reason.

Hi Paddy , What a great city , I would have loved to visit there but I got stuck in Manila and couldn't get to Vietnam, ( a long story) Enjoy your trip and look forward to seeing you next video.

Hi paddy! really love your content. Do you mind sharing which tour you used for the tunnel tour? Thank you in advance!
Nice drone work there Paddy, really shows a good viewpoint of the city.
Vietnam is so futuristic, they have. Netflix and TH-cam. 🤝

Glad to see your upbeat in the city. A steak and a hot bath is the secret I guess. Of course some wine helps. Have fun
Gutted you were struggling in Dalat. One of my favourite places I visited.
Thank you paddy you just make my dream more beautiful.
I could also live in SAIGON
It's just so beautiful and with so many smiles,
