I’m mean sometimes the smiles are fake. I’d agree if you’d say it’s less common to see a fake smile in Vietnam though, I think Thai people has one of the most genuine people in the world in my opinion :)
I feel genuine warmth coming from thai people despite me being khmer(historical animosity between thai and khmer). I also feel the same kind of warmth from chinese people. But for some reason, I do not feel this warmth emanating from many vietnamese I've encountered and interacted with. They are ice cold... I thought the chinese would be quite similar to vietnamese due to the culture and mixed ancestry of many vietnamese with partial chinese ancestry. I was totally wrong. I don't know what is it about vietnamese in general? Not trying to sound negative but just my experience with them! If there is a group I could compare them to, it's Russians. Russians are similar in that they're not very expressive or animated or warm and friendly on first impression. But, I've known and interacted with several vietnamese for over a year and they are still not as warm as I'd expected someone to be after getting to know them even after 1 year.
@@remhk6672 as a Russian I also wanted to compare Vietnamese to us 😁There is a Russian proverb: “He who served in the army does not laugh in the circus.”
@@remhk6672 Because you are Cambodian, you hate Vietnam and you tried to say bad things to Vietnam and nice things to China. China is Cambodia's father. Everyone already knows that. Don't be the liar hear😂😂😂😂😂
Almost everyone mentions Thailand. Actually, we are turning to Vietnam in order to escape from the crowds and the low quality mass tourism that you can experience in Phuket, Koh Samui, and Krabi area. After an amzing time in Phu Quoc we are coming to Da Nang in April🤩
I prefer VN much more than Thailand , every tourist spot in Thailand all I see is bars after bars , massages parlours , hookers and many old white tourist come for sex tours with young Thai girl , lots of places filthy , sleazy , Thailand still the prostitute capital in the world , this is not a family friendly place to take your children for holiday because they will see thing you don’t want to exposed them to , that why I don’t travel to Thailand but VN .
I spent a couple of weeks in Da Nang and really loved it. Ba Na hills is absolutely amazing and an absolute highlight of my trip. Hoi Ann is also amazing especially at night with all the lanterns.
Im american, just got back from da nang and absolutely love it. I love the fact that 10 mins get you away from tourism and cheaper accommodations. The food is amazing and the people are friendlier and dont try to hustle you as hard. Im definitely going back but i want to try and learn the language more. Possibly setup something for work as i get bored easily and crime is minimal compared to big city.
@@Chai_Traveldo you know how one can hire a tour guide? I’m planning a trip to Vietnam and will need someone to show us around but I just don’t know how I can get a tour guide
I was there in 1967 attached to the 3rd Marine Division. I loved it then even though there was war going on. Love the people and the great food. Back then we had a beach called China Beach and Monkey Mountain. It has changed so much. I must go back again one day.
I think China Beach is now My Khe beach and the Monkey Mtn is the Son Tra peninsula where the large tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy stands. I hope U get to visit again after such a long absence. I'm on my way to Vietnam for 90 days end of this month for a 2nd time, my first visit was for only 9 days last Nov.
Thank you for your service. I hope you get the chance to go back. There were no winners in the Vietnam war. I have worked with a lot of Vietnamese here in the states. They are indeed nice people.
@@georgecarlin2879 Ufff its going to be HOT!! I was there in May/June last year and it got super hot and humid. A great trip but slightly uncomfortable. There were a few days in Da Nang where I had to stay indoors just to keep cool. It was a heatwave though so hopefully better this year. Either way, I'm sure you'll have a great trip.
If you're in Da Nang make sure you go to the Linh Ung temple (you can see the Lady Buddha on the clifftop from the Da Nang beach). You won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much for speaking with these visitors, you can learn a lot from hearing about their experience. I was in Ho Chi Minh for a week and was going to go to Da Nang but it's too hot at the end of March, I'll be back and visit there next time.
Awesome! I spend a bit of time in Auckland and the south Island in NZ and I can tell you it’s super different over here 🤩 I’m sure you’ll love it. Just a little tip; talk slow to the locals and try to speak clear as your accent might be hard to understand for them 🤭 thanks for watching 🏆
Chai, you had really good guests expressing themselves well and sharing nice information. Nice job, like always. And nice move to break things up by filming in different locations so not the same background. Looking forward to the next one . . .
Thanks mate! I hope all goes well for you. It’s such a nice environment to work in 😎🤩⛱️☀️ next one I’m able to show you the boulevard. Have a great Sunday
That one man was disappointed in the cleanliness of the street food but the woman said the food was very healthy but she didn't say if it was street food or not. So, that's something to think about. I do love Vietnamese food😋. I only passed thru DaNang but what I did see looked attractive. Are you going to DaLat ? That's a city I'd like to learn more about. Nice interviews as always 🎤
Haha yeah that’s right! Over all it’s pretty healthy and not so fatty. It’s more so what I’ve also experienced that at the markets and small shops there are fresh products laying in the heat and all. Luckily I’ve never had any food poisoning though 😊 I love the food over here 🤩
It's true, there's not much street food near the beach so you have to go inland where there are plenty of food choices. Compared to other countries like Thailand, there's less street food but Vietnamese food is healthier (less sweet and less fat, more veggies)
@@Chai_Travel I've had food poisoning close to 100 times and salmonella poisoning twice, in America. I'm still here and haven't changed how I eat. Can't wait until October when I get to VN. If I get it, I'll do some reading, take some aspirin, and go back out. I just won't eat at THAT one place.
I know this is besides the point, but I am so impressed with your communication skills (as someone who lacks them). Specifically, how engaged you are and how your facial expression make people comfortable enough to smile and tell their stories. When people talk to me, they usually feel like I'm not interested because my voice is monotone, and I hardly make any facial expressions, but I'm working on it. Loved the video!
That’s super nice of you, you say this 🙏🤗 thanks for making me smile this Friday morning. A smile goes a long way most of the time and hopefully we all smile a bit more to one another ❤️ cheers
We that live here in Vietnam often shake our head by listening to bloggers asking tourists about " facts". By traveling to a place and hanging our for a couple of days and expressing an opinion is a little silly. Food in Vietnam is known for its delicacy, safety and its viareity. Also compare to the US, there are no-one doing drugs, no needles littering the streets, no guns in sight nor anyone living in a tent or sleeping it off .. in full public view. Welcome to Vietnam were things are civilized and orderly and live comfortable for $1000/month.Cheers.
Hi James, the only facts I was interested in while making this videos are experiences, thoughts, and opinions. It can give people a good view on other peoples experiences are so I’m not only sharing my own experiences on this channel :) cheers
It's hard to understand what US politicians and law makers think. I find squatters' right in US is funny and allowing South American illegal immigrants in is a big mistake. Lots of stores owners decided to close or leave because of the lootings by these migrants. Homelessness has been a big problem for American citizens in recent years now let them in the simple question is how to house them, schooling the migrants' children, cloth them let alone health care for them. Jobs for them when most of them speak little English and low level of education.

Having been in Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok I enjoyed Bangkok more so and a big reason was public infrastructure; having the MRT, BTS so on made getting around the city much easier. Both cities have their perks and I think as Ho Chi Minh develops more public infrastructure it will become more comparable to Bangkok.
Thank you my friend for the new episode from Da Nang sharing visitors' opinions about the city. Another wonderful destination with its Dragon Bridge (you have to see it in action) very close to Hoi An, a beautiful, very European coastal town.😉
Great video! I loved Da Nang (been there for a month and probably will comeback in near future). The guy starting at 4:19 seems like a great man to talk with!
Russians prefer Nha Trang because it were a Russian town . the Soviet union to be exact , so there were plenty of Ukrainians too. the Soviet lived in Nha Trang and worked at Cam Ranh naval base, oil and gas extraction and refinery in the area.
There are so many cool sights to see in Da Nang! I think the Marble Mountains and the caves around there should be on everyone's itinerary. It's always nice to relax on the beach too if you just want to take it easy. 👍
We just came back from Vietnam. Other than being hot, the people are amazing. We felt safe and the food was awesome. There is so much to explore in Vietnam. We definitely want to go back.
Your Belgian guest missed a great opportunity to respond to you when you said: 'maybe the smile is not always there but the friendliness is underneath' he should have responded: 'just like the Dutch!'
When Americans and Europeans talk good sides of staying in South East Asia, it reflects on how unkind, expensive, and mundane life is at their home countries. Strange.
Love Da Nang, people are friendly, has a good vibe and there are so many options for food. The only negative part was, I found the beach overcrowded after 4pm.
Hoping to go to Vietnam in September ish. I've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia many times but never managed to get to Laos or Vietnam. It's all Southeast Asia man, it's all great!!!
DaNang is great! I only passed by for one day, yet had one of the most amazing conversations that night . By the way, if you have time, check out Quy Nhon. I unexpectedly ended up there partly due to Tet, and then I just spontaneously decided to stay there for 3 days😂It's a great city, and not on the radar yet.
I've been living in Indonesia for over 5 years. That said, I am in the process of planning a 3 to 4 month trip touring the northern part of Thailand, Loas, Central Vietnam, and Cambodia. My travels will start in late October when I fly over to Bangkok for a few days. I plan to spend 3 to 4 weeks in Da Nang and Hoi An from mid-December to mid-January. Is this a good time to be in that part of the country during this time frame?
No way I've been there for years and eat street food every day never been bad viteman is probably the best place on earth people amazing I'll travel the world but nothing comes close to it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you ask other than westerners sometimes? Lots of asians travel in Asia. Usually Japanese and Koreans are easily recognisable but in general all tourists are easily recognisable from locals if you pay attention. It would be nice to hear how they experience their neibooring countries.
I do a lot of :) the thing is most of the time their English is just not understandable enough for my to use as my videos need to be understandable and flow well. Unfortunately it’s more difficult in my experience to get the Asian tourists on camera to have interviews with. I’ll try harder to my Asian brothers and sisters on camera in the future 🙏
Great work champ. You always find the interesting people to interview that add plenty of value. Take care crossing those roads there Chai. Crazy drivers eh, they sound a bit like those in Malaysia but to be fair Bangkok is lethal too 😂 Maybe these places need to invest in overhead walk overs as they have in Bangers 😂 Have fun there mate 🤩
Yo Steven! Haha yeah it’s just very different style of driving here (also walking) when you get use to it, it is not so bad 😆 thanks champ. Happy Saturday 🌞
I got stung by hundreds of small jellyfish in Danang, but met a lovely lady who was happy to pee on the stings and sooth the pain 😂 we dated for 6 months after that bonding experience
Nice to know current Vietnam is still very welcoming to all foreigners despite it being Communist-run from what I understand (unless that's no longer the case). Wonderful place from the video! Thank you Chai Travel! Keep vlogging!
I was in Danang 10 days as a solo traveler and i wont go back there..nothing is bad but when comparing to Thailand or Philippines it´s just boring..most of the city are massage parlors and restaurants, as a family or as a couple it can be nice for sure but i honestly didn´t know what to do much in the evenings..dating in short term is almost impossible, sitting alone in bars and restaurants is not too much fun either after a while, i even enjoyed Malaysia much more, Vietnam just has a heaviness that other south east Asian countries dont habe imo
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏 it seems like you had bad luck and were maybe spending time in the wrong areas 😅 but by the sounds of it you know your way around SE Asia and I’m sure you’ll be able to have a better time somewhere else 😊 have a good day
Nice work, lots of interviews, and many subtitle options. 🙂 However, I think a large "professional" microphone gives off a "serious interview" vibe and could make people apprehensive. I'd switch to a smaller mic, like many people use, for a more casual atmosphere and to put your subjects at ease. Cheers!
I don't understand what the blue shirt guy has about seafood when it's in the glass cabinet, they've just been caught and they temporarily raise them in the glass cabinet to ensure freshness. He probably wants to eat frozen seafood that died long ago in Japan haha
Ow no, I’m sure he was talking about the markets here the fish is not laying on ice. Also Ban Mee places where meat products are stored in areas where is 30+ Celsius. If you’re not use to this some people can get food poisoning
Honestly beside the rip-off sea-food night market next to the dragon brigde I didn't noticed any street food vendors in DaNang, like i know them from Thailand. Maybe i stayed in the wrong area 🤔. The beachfront is clean and spacious
Anyone that likes a place because of a ‘good’ ex-pat community should ask themselves why they are travelling. In my experience, most locals don’t like ex-pat communities. Also there’s many people that like ex-pat communities but have an issue when one pops up in their country - then the xenophobia starts.
I've lived in a few countries and never hung around expats, especially Americans. The first lady talked about, 'THEM bridging the language gap'. I bet she doesn't know any Vietnamese. I've already started learning Vietnamese but I don't visit until November. Good comment BTW.
"Whoever is bigger, makes the rules" this is an unfortunate statement from an American, but true. Size does matter - or the size of your military budget, at least . . . .
I have been to Vietnam a number of times and currently doing a month in Nha Trang. I have to agree with the guy from Las Vegas about street food in Vietnam being a bit suspect compared to Thailand. I would even say its hard to find cheap good food in Vietnam and you end up buying ready made meals from supermarkets and such to avoid suspect dirty street food and so so food in over priced restaurants. We also observe the same in Vietnam cafes where glasses for the coffee have not been properly cleaned etc. I live mostly in NE Thailand where I live in a village in my own house so I am not someone just off the plane from the west. Maybe food is the most revered thing in Thailand!
I've been to Vietnam three times now and ate street food there quite often. Street foods there were delicious and quite clean. Didn't have any stomach problem. Even drank coffees from glasses and were quite clean. As with any countries in the world, you can find clean and dirty restaurants. Just be careful and be prepared.
I just can’t help but smack my head when I hear people like the First Lady who says “ they make such an effort to speak English” but she was there for 5 months and I bet she doesn’t know 6 words in Vietnamese. Expat entitlement at its worst.
I think overall people feel more welcome in Thailand at first. But when people stay longer than a few weeks in Vietnam people start to love Vietnam more and more. I personally feel welcomed in both :)
Thank you for your time and posting. Negatives + 'not so positives'. :) Interestingly, the first lady talked about "them" bridging the gap in language. Yet, I'm betting she can't speak any Vietnamese.
@@Chai_Travel What I have found Chai is that when you treat people with respect and you are considerate and courteous, everyone is friendly. Unfortunately, most people are not this way. But everyone is that way in front of a mic and camera. ;) Two small examples: Ever buy some flowers for the ladies at the front desk where you are staying? Ever clean the tables/area of a place you eat at when it was really busy and they couldn't keep up? It costs you nothing. :)
First time i visited da nang ( 2 days trip), i thought its a bit boring. The second time, i have spent 7 days and found : wow, da nang has everything, beautiful beach, river, mountain, forest, waterfall, clean, safe, friendly.
Currently in Thailand for the last month the hot weather gets a bit tiresome day after day might head down to Da Nang for a few days sounds a bit cooler.
Travel vloggers always hype everything up but honestly, when I lived in VN I saw hundreds of foreigners looking underwhelmed and bored in places like Danang. Vietnam is a great place when you become a part of a community there but as a tourist its pretty average.
The guy from Hunting Beach is awesome! Definitely more of a traveler than a tourist. Well-spoken, respectful and experienced.
cooll guy!
I clicked off, too opinionated
@@snacktivist 'Well that’s just your opinion, man’

Thanks mate! I hope all goes well for you this beautiful Saturday 🌞 Da Nang is such a cool city 😎 I’d love to spend more time here
Nice blend of views and questions too.
Thank you 😃
Love what you do ….now I want to come to Danang….Have a good One from Montreal,Canada
That’s so nice to hear :) thanks for making me smile! Have a good day
Gentleman at 4:20 was so wholesome :)
I’ve seen two of your vids so far and find them very interesting. Thank you!
Glad you like them! 😃 thanks for your introduction Ramon
Your Belgian guest missed a great opportunity to respond to you when you said: 'maybe the smile is not always there but the friendliness is underneath' he should have responded: 'just like the Dutch!'
Haha 😝 😁🇳🇱
Thomas was so informative and a pleasure to listen to.
Thailand is my favorite but Vietnam def. good to mix it up !
When Americans and Europeans talk good sides of staying in South East Asia, it reflects on how unkind, expensive, and mundane life is at their home countries. Strange.
Love Da Nang, people are friendly, has a good vibe and there are so many options for food. The only negative part was, I found the beach overcrowded after 4pm.
I see! Some parts of the beach does turn pretty busy. I'm glad you still love Da Nang :D cheers!
Guy with the hat is living is best life. Life goals
Hoping to go to Vietnam in September ish. I've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia many times but never managed to get to Laos or Vietnam. It's all Southeast Asia man, it's all great!!!
Awesome! Man, I’m excited for your trip! Have the best time. Stay in touch
DaNang is great! I only passed by for one day, yet had one of the most amazing conversations that night .
By the way, if you have time, check out Quy Nhon. I unexpectedly ended up there partly due to Tet, and then I just spontaneously decided to stay there for 3 days😂It's a great city, and not on the radar yet.
Aw haha that’s great you had that freedom of staying a bit longer 😃 thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you, I put that on my schedule for November 2024.
Great video! First time I've seen your channel. I subscribed.
Nice one mate! Thanks and I hope you’re able to enjoy more vids in the future 🙂
I've been living in Indonesia for over 5 years. That said, I am in the process of planning a 3 to 4 month trip touring the northern part of Thailand, Loas, Central Vietnam, and Cambodia. My travels will start in late October when I fly over to Bangkok for a few days. I plan to spend 3 to 4 weeks in Da Nang and Hoi An from mid-December to mid-January. Is this a good time to be in that part of the country during this time frame?
Nice 😍 I’d say that’s a perfect time of the year. Maybe a bit busy. On a 4 month trip I wouldn’t stay anywhere longer than a week :)
What the hell is Ned Flanders doing in Nam? 4:55
What is he not doing is a better question 😜
I heard that there is a Leftorium opening soon in Da nang
No way I've been there for years and eat street food every day never been bad viteman is probably the best place on earth people amazing I'll travel the world but nothing comes close to it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you ask other than westerners sometimes?
Lots of asians travel in Asia. Usually Japanese and Koreans are easily recognisable but in general all tourists are easily recognisable from locals if you pay attention. It would be nice to hear how they experience their neibooring countries.
I do a lot of :) the thing is most of the time their English is just not understandable enough for my to use as my videos need to be understandable and flow well. Unfortunately it’s more difficult in my experience to get the Asian tourists on camera to have interviews with. I’ll try harder to my Asian brothers and sisters on camera in the future 🙏
Great work champ. You always find the interesting people to interview that add plenty of value. Take care crossing those roads there Chai. Crazy drivers eh, they sound a bit like those in Malaysia but to be fair Bangkok is lethal too 😂 Maybe these places need to invest in overhead walk overs as they have in Bangers 😂 Have fun there mate 🤩
Yo Steven! Haha yeah it’s just very different style of driving here (also walking) when you get use to it, it is not so bad 😆 thanks champ. Happy Saturday 🌞
It would be so much cheaper if they just used the traffic lights and zebra crossings correctly, or at all😂
There are so many live seafood restaurants there no need to buy dead seafood, it doesn’t get any fresher than live.
Very interesting interviews with the tourists.
Cheers Yasin. Have a great weekend 😁
@@Chai_Travel Cheers Chai. You too, have a great weekend. 😀
I got stung by hundreds of small jellyfish in Danang, but met a lovely lady who was happy to pee on the stings and sooth the pain 😂 we dated for 6 months after that bonding experience
What a love story 🤭🥰 thanks for watching
Funny story !
Well done and Thank u for blog.
Question; do you now do travel blog bcoz of content or you genuinely travel ?
Thank you :) a little of both. I used to travel without the camera from 2010. Now I do see it as my job 🫡😊
Nice to know current Vietnam is still very welcoming to all foreigners despite it being Communist-run from what I understand (unless that's no longer the case). Wonderful place from the video! Thank you Chai Travel! Keep vlogging!
It is indeed :) aw thanks! Haha I try 💪
Cộng sản thì sao, cộng sản cũng có nhiều mặt còn tốt hơn tư bản đó bạn.
Thumbs-up Champ.👍🏆❤️
😊 thank you 🥰
Great content! You sound like you have a Dutch accent. Klop dat? :)
Haha yes! Dat klopt! Geboren en getogen 😁
I was in Danang 10 days as a solo traveler and i wont go back there..nothing is bad but when comparing to Thailand or Philippines it´s just boring..most of the city are massage parlors and restaurants, as a family or as a couple it can be nice for sure but i honestly didn´t know what to do much in the evenings..dating in short term is almost impossible, sitting alone in bars and restaurants is not too much fun either after a while, i even enjoyed Malaysia much more, Vietnam just has a heaviness that other south east Asian countries dont habe imo
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏 it seems like you had bad luck and were maybe spending time in the wrong areas 😅 but by the sounds of it you know your way around SE Asia and I’m sure you’ll be able to have a better time somewhere else 😊 have a good day
Nice work, lots of interviews, and many subtitle options. 🙂 However, I think a large "professional" microphone gives off a "serious interview" vibe and could make people apprehensive. I'd switch to a smaller mic, like many people use, for a more casual atmosphere and to put your subjects at ease. Cheers!
Thank! And thanks for sharing your ideas Doctor :)
Just come across your channel mate great stuff 👍
Welcome aboard! Thanks for your introduction Stephen 🏆
Thanks for sharing your video in Da Nang Vietnam
I don't understand what the blue shirt guy has about seafood when it's in the glass cabinet, they've just been caught and they temporarily raise them in the glass cabinet to ensure freshness. He probably wants to eat frozen seafood that died long ago in Japan haha
Ow no, I’m sure he was talking about the markets here the fish is not laying on ice. Also Ban Mee places where meat products are stored in areas where is 30+ Celsius. If you’re not use to this some people can get food poisoning
Great video 👍
Thank you 😊
Very Interesting
Thanks for watching 😊
Just got back spent 3 months didn't like it felt trapped to hot traffic is insane
3 month is a long time if you didn't like it. I hope you feel better wherever you are now 🙏
Honestly beside the rip-off sea-food night market next to the dragon brigde I didn't noticed any street food vendors in DaNang, like i know them from Thailand. Maybe i stayed in the wrong area 🤔. The beachfront is clean and spacious
Ow there are but not as many :) A great place it is :D Thanks for watching
Very nice large beach. I might go there in November. Anyone know what the weather is like there in mid to late November ? 🤔
It’s a nice time to go :) expect a bit of rain though. I’m sure you’ll love it regardless 😊
GREAT VIDEO!
Anyone that likes a place because of a ‘good’ ex-pat community should ask themselves why they are travelling. In my experience, most locals don’t like ex-pat communities. Also there’s many people that like ex-pat communities but have an issue when one pops up in their country - then the xenophobia starts.
Interesting point of view
I've lived in a few countries and never hung around expats, especially Americans. The first lady talked about, 'THEM bridging the language gap'. I bet she doesn't know any Vietnamese. I've already started learning Vietnamese but I don't visit until November. Good comment BTW.
he said TH and touches on the experiences...
"Whoever is bigger, makes the rules" this is an unfortunate statement from an American, but true.
Size does matter - or the size of your military budget, at least . . . .
I'm waiting for the Nong Son video. 😄😄😄😄
Ey Nam! Coming up soon 😁🏆
Yes another video please
Not trying the sea food in Da Nang is a big MISTAKE 😭
Good Job!😊
Thanks!
I have been to Vietnam a number of times and currently doing a month in Nha Trang. I have to agree with the guy from Las Vegas about street food in Vietnam being a bit suspect compared to Thailand. I would even say its hard to find cheap good food in Vietnam and you end up buying ready made meals from supermarkets and such to avoid suspect dirty street food and so so food in over priced restaurants. We also observe the same in Vietnam cafes where glasses for the coffee have not been properly cleaned etc. I live mostly in NE Thailand where I live in a village in my own house so I am not someone just off the plane from the west. Maybe food is the most revered thing in Thailand!
Yeah the guy from Las Vegas spot on the thing about street food.
I've been to Vietnam three times now and ate street food there quite often. Street foods there were delicious and quite clean. Didn't have any stomach problem. Even drank coffees from glasses and were quite clean. As with any countries in the world, you can find clean and dirty restaurants. Just be careful and be prepared.
Yes, but not always. Years ago Thais started to advertise Clean Food and more and more places did the same.
I just can’t help but smack my head when I hear people like the First Lady who says “ they make such an effort to speak English” but she was there for 5 months and I bet she doesn’t know 6 words in Vietnamese. Expat entitlement at its worst.
Please don’t hurt yourself :) she might be fluent speaking? We don’t know
Sure she is fluent that’s why she uses google translate.
visit the other parts of the country da nang is such a small part of the country
🫡 yes sir
Tuyệt vời
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều
Asking the Russian “why did you move here?” 🤣🤣🤣
🙏
is thailand vs vietnam, similar in english language? which country is friendlier & you feel more welcomed as a tourist
I think overall people feel more welcome in Thailand at first. But when people stay longer than a few weeks in Vietnam people start to love Vietnam more and more. I personally feel welcomed in both :)
similar but Vietnam has communism flavor
I think you met a new friend with the last guy (German).
Haha I think so too 😊
Do you know ways to get 1 year visa in Vietnam? We are thinking about Cambodia because is easy and cheap to get 1 year visa
I’m afraid this is not possible and you’ll still need to do border runs
90-day max. Leave VN, complete visa, and come back for another 90 days. :)
Very Nice Video. En ik krijg de Video’s nu wel weer Goed doorgestuurd als abonnement, probleem oplost. 🙏
Aaah top Gert! Goed om te hore 😃 fijne zaterdag
They couldnt understand the Australian Accent. 😂😂😂😂
Haha well maybe :p she was struggling with finding people to speak English 🤷♂️
Stay away from Danang during rainy season could be very dangerous
Because of the cyclones?
@@Chai_Travel any kind of heavy rain all island flooded
how does one obtain a long term residency?
Businesses visa or marriage I reckon. I believe the people interviewed in this video were just on 30 or 90day visas
Thank you for your time and posting. Negatives + 'not so positives'. :) Interestingly, the first lady talked about "them" bridging the gap in language. Yet, I'm betting she can't speak any Vietnamese.
Hello happy travel
Happy travels! Thanks for watching 🏆
Stay for 3 months and then see if you like it to many rules
🙏
He needs information on what money is needed and taken
I don’t understand this comment 🙏
Its the second russia forsure
🤔
Beats US rustbelt Appalachia.
🤔
I found the people in da nang not very friendly, not liek hanio
Ow really? That’s unfortunate. I feel pretty welcome here 😊 thanks for sharing your experience though
Do giọng nói vùng miền.
@@Chai_Travel What I have found Chai is that when you treat people with respect and you are considerate and courteous, everyone is friendly. Unfortunately, most people are not this way. But everyone is that way in front of a mic and camera. ;) Two small examples: Ever buy some flowers for the ladies at the front desk where you are staying? Ever clean the tables/area of a place you eat at when it was really busy and they couldn't keep up? It costs you nothing. :)
3 weeks is nothing mate. 3 months would be OK, small bum bum.
cheap cheap cheap ok .... say at least affordable lol
Affordable does sounds better indeed:)
Lol "traveler".... Get over yourself, typical Cali type😂
There is a difference between a traveler and someone who is on holiday, don’t you think?
Da nang is very hot and expensive place to travel.
Danang is boring!!
That’s bold statement
First time i visited da nang ( 2 days trip), i thought its a bit boring. The second time, i have spent 7 days and found : wow, da nang has everything, beautiful beach, river, mountain, forest, waterfall, clean, safe, friendly.
Sounds like my kind of place! 😄
Currently in Thailand for the last month the hot weather gets a bit tiresome day after day might head down to Da Nang for a few days sounds a bit cooler.
Travel vloggers always hype everything up but honestly, when I lived in VN I saw hundreds of foreigners looking underwhelmed and bored in places like Danang. Vietnam is a great place when you become a part of a community there but as a tourist its pretty average.
