The view on top is really rewarding especially after having to struggle with the 800 steps up the headland to reach the feet of the statue, plus another 100 steps to its shoulders. It's a steep climb but the view is truly amazing. Vung Tau also has nice beaches and of course, delectable local food. Great place to explore and best visited via a motorbike.
I made it up the steps about halfway. It was so hot and my motorbike driver looked so comfortable in the shade at the bottom that I gave up and joined him. We ended up at the ferry dock for lunch and many beers. He spoke no English and I spoke no Vietnamese, and we drank and chatted all afternoon!
I found your channel while researching a bit for my upcoming Thailand getaway and have since gone down a rabbit hole watching a tonne of the videos. Probably earned you enough ad revenue to fund at least few more of those lunch trips and sunset beach beers. Enjoy 🍺
@Peter Amster calm down it's going to be already I'm ready tho no pussy grand father was in ww2 I'll be in the Philippines fight ww3 it comes to it 100%
You are epic, "I kindly accepted that request";-) The litter you have in many places on beaches, even in the Bahamas. I went to one beach there unknown to tourists and it was so disgusting with tons of car tires in the water and like 3-4 feet high mountains of trash right on the sand.
You're right...all the plastic trash littered across the beautiful beaches in southeast Asia is an absolute eye sore. I wish heavy fines were imposed like in Singapore to deter people from littering.
You didn't climb up the Jesus statue? There are 2 observation decks on his shoulders.... You could tell from the seaweed in the trash.....they washed up on shore when there are high tides....so those trashes came from somewhere else nearby, locals organized clean up teams very often, but you can't stop the waves from bringing in trashes elsewhere ....you can search for this a lot online 'trashes in vungtau"
I had no idea about the lookout!! I need to go back up haha I know people don’t throw out trash onto the beach, but it’s getting into the ocean from somewhere which is sad 😢
I use to walk it every morning and even ran half way once, and just once. Weather permitting. Too bad you didn't go inside and out on the arms. Try to go up Hem 444 to see the old French cannons and go further up.
You're giving me plenty of ideas for when I head to Vietnam later this year! Good to see theres some places close to Saigon, but I might make the effort to check out Da Nang too.
that is one thing i hate the most,is litter on the ground,the trash bin is just a few feet from them,whats wrong with their legs,just walk over and put in the trash bin
I’ve walked up to the Jesus statue it’s full on but worth it as you said. Love the beach in front of it with the house on the island. It’s surf able too 🏄♂️
My son followed you and met you in Thailand. I'm very sorry to speak of him, he passed away. You were close to him so I knew to speak to you. He died on his 37th birthday
Thank you. He sold his home and his condo to come back with us. He was a humble person, he always watched your videos. In fact when he ran into you, the first thing he did was call me about it.
Adam I have been following you from the very start of your channel,and you one of the reasons whom encouraged to visit South East Asia.Thank you for the good work.But,please dont do those thumb nails and click baiting titles.
Tinder hey , wonder if the use bumble there.... oh BTW i had no idea you could get to the top of the statue either lol and I was with 2 of my Vietnamese mate. Talk about a fail 😂
Hi mate, you have given me so much good advice through you channel and as a traveller in Asia I was just wandering if you know the best and cheapest way to buy a ticket for the Philippines, the travel agency is really expensive and I've never bought one online, I was hoping you can give me some advice as your vids have been a great help to me already, I plan to stay for 2 maybe 3 months, and either come back to UK or go to Thailand for a bit, so you advise would be great, and the is just a toe in the water cos I plan on moving to one of these places permanently, I had planned for the Philippines but you vids might be changing my mind, so flight info would be most useful, thank you so much for you TH-cam its very helpful
Check out kiwi.com for flights, it’s great for finding Cheap flights.. Then jump over to the best priced airlines official site and book there 😊 Enjoy, the Philippines is great!
great vlog Keis, time i got my Drown out more when i come back to Thailand. What was the process for getting a licence to fly it. What a great view from the top of the mountain. Stat safe mate
Didn’t need anything to enter, I needed an E visa which you get online, and I always have insurance when I travel, there is a link in my description for who I use 😊
Top effort mate ! On a 1-10 scale compared to Erawan Falls, hows it ? Totally plastic crap is not on….do they hand out plastic straws and bags at every shop ya go to ?
They aren’t toooo bad with giving out the plastic here.. I had a paper straw today which was good (even though I don’t really like them lol) bins are much easier to find here too.. no excuse really
Dude..you've been living in SEA for a while now..why don't you carry a rain coat and umbrella? My younger years I grew up in the bay area (inland from San Francisco) and it didn't matter if it was nice warm sunny day..you Always brought a jacket. Weather can change instantly. Oh well..shit happens. Enjoy bro ✌😎
It’s very disappointing to see the litter on the streets and beaches in VN. I see people talking about it but few take action. So, as a challenge for some compensation, how would you like to receive a reasonable donation (from a Vietnamese Australian American) by getting the locals to clean up the beaches in VN and keep them clean? If you accept this offer you must make a video to help reach more people. Thanks in advance if you can help; if not, it’s okay since you’re already doing a great job.
I would absolutely love to do something like that, and I do plan to use my powers for good as my channel and reach grows.. unfortunately tomorrow morning I’m heading back to Saigon and next week back home to Thailand.. but I do plan to do this in the future, for no compensation 😊
@@keisone Thank you so much for wanting to help me fulfill my dream. Please, I insist you accept my donation and perhaps do a video on paying the street cleaners to pick up trash in Saigon or anywhere in VN. I’ve always wanted to do this but was never lucky enough to meet anyone who can help. You will be the first one and you’ll make my day if you say “yes”. 🙏 😊
Me and my husband are cook for out to Thailand in 7 weeks, we initially wanted to bring our drone with us, but found out recently that it has to be registered as we only in Thailand for one week it seems we don’t have the time to register, but we are back In February next year, would it be possible to register it this trip to use in the next trip as I think the licence lasts two years. Do you happen to know if this would be possible to do. Thanks x
You are definitely supposed to register your drone, mine is registered, but I have never been asked for it.. I have met plenty of people that just bring their drones and use them.. I’m not saying that’s what you should do, but it does happen a lot 😉
be mindful of pretty girls asking you out to a drink or dinner where she may bring you to an expensive place where she gets a commission. Best for you to pick a place instead

Fantastic views from the top . Never really tried vietnamese food before but looked good . Love your video's

Love the intro!! I'm visiting Vietnam in March because I can't deal with the litter in Mexico

It's rainny season here in VietNam, and you definitely need a poncho, the weather will change rapidly from hot sun to heavy rain in just a minute.
Always enjoy your adventures mate! Love the drone shots from up top. It's worth it no matter what, loving your VN trip. Be safe!
I use to walk it every morning and even ran half way once, and just once. Weather permitting. Too bad you didn't go inside and out on the arms. Try to go up Hem 444 to see the old French cannons and go further up.
Wow that’s a great workout! I didn’t know you could go inside the Jesus 🤦♂️

Thank you fro making my morning! much love from Toronto buddy!
Thank you so much 😊
It’s prawns absolutely, shrimps are in rivers, swamps and dams 555
I’m hoping these were prawns then 🤣🤣
You are one true aussie mate, great keep it up.
Should have done a rocky on it mate and ran up those steps🥵😅
Haha I could barely walk by the end! Lol
I’ve walked up to the Jesus statue it’s full on but worth it as you said. Love the beach in front of it with the house on the island. It’s surf able too 🏄♂️
Wow what a view, loving the drone shots. Warm rain is better than UK rain mate.
Damn those stairs were insane.
Unfortunately trashes are the main issue in SEA , South Asia ( India , Bangladesh , Pakistan and Sri Lanka ) , South America and Africa
Great video bro 👍
Did you have a drone permit or hassled in any way with it in the air? Thanks and GREAT video!
FYI - Shrimp and prawns are completely different creatures
Vung Tau looks pretty cool may have to check it out next month while in Saigon! Agree 1000% people who litter suckkkkkk!
My son followed you and met you in Thailand. I'm very sorry to speak of him, he passed away. You were close to him so I knew to speak to you. He died on his 37th birthday
Sorry for your loss, stay stronger!
I’m so sorry to hear about your son, I’m glad we got the chance to meet though.. I’m sure he had a great time in Thailand!
My condolences 😢
Thank you. He sold his home and his condo to come back with us. He was a humble person, he always watched your videos. In fact when he ran into you, the first thing he did was call me about it.
@@HawaiiGuy614 ah that’s awesome, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you have loved ones close to you at this time.
@@keisone it's ok. He was a wild kid. But he struggled heavily with alcohol. It took over his life.
Do you think there should be a fine for people who litter on the beach? I feel like that would be a quick way to clean these beaches up.
I think most of it washes up.. but it was still littered somewhere else to get there.. sux
Jesus status is one of my favourite spot in Vung Tau
Love your drone work
That was pretty kind and generous of you to accept that request to meet another harem of babes …..lol
"few steps" up there. Nice view.
Adam I have been following you from the very start of your channel,and you one of the reasons whom encouraged to visit South East Asia.Thank you for the good work.But,please dont do those thumb nails and click baiting titles.
Yeah that's a pretty good hike up there with lots of steps lol
how can you afford those t-shirts? Are they copies?
Tinder hey , wonder if the use bumble there.... oh BTW i had no idea you could get to the top of the statue either lol and I was with 2 of my Vietnamese mate. Talk about a fail 😂
haha at least I wasnt the only one lol
I think we should crowdfund a few Pac a Macs for Adam...55
Haha I never care about getting wet, it’s my camera and drone I’m worried about..
Thanks for the day at the beach.
4:25 hmmm. TH-cam subtitles says that dish is 'Dog pokey'.......🤔
Haha I don’t make the subs, they are auto generated lol
@@keisone I know, all good m8. Just wanted everyone to have a laugh 😂
A lot of the crap comes from the ships dumping , out at sea . Seen this happen , so annoying

If it’s a DJI, you can register it there.. entirely up to you, but the drone will work fine without being registered 😉
@@keisone thought so lol
Can you cover the requirements to enter Vietnam, ie insurance, boosters, visa procedures?
Thanks
Didn’t need anything to enter, I needed an E visa which you get online, and I always have insurance when I travel, there is a link in my description for who I use 😊
How’s Dan? Any updates re his channel
love the title hahaha
Nice clip :D

Show the video of the date my man, you left out the best part!
Rác từ biển đẩy vào đó bạn,việc xử lý rác chưa đc tốt lắm
I am afraid that regarding the trash on the beach, it comes from the sea, no ?
Of course, but how does it get into the sea first? I just hate to see beaches ruined from trash 😢
@@keisone totally inacceptable you are right Adam
Please visit laos
Nice place
