Vietnam is so wonderful! We went in 2016 and we went all over the country! We loved Saigon, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Hoi An was my absolute favorite!! You can have custom clothing made for you and it’s a beautiful little beach town! Saigon is extremely busy and crossing the street is like the game frogger! Cinnamon Hotel is a great little spot if you need somewhere to stay. 😆Also known as the city of lanterns! I had a coworker that was from the island Phu Quoc in the far south but we never made it there. I definitely plan to go back and enjoy more time in the hill country. The people of Vietnam are beautiful and kind people. The food is beyond tasty! Enjoy!
Hoi an was my favorite place with Dalat. glad to read your comment on my country. enjoy for your next trip. peace
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw who sent them over there? who threw napalm/orange on Vietnamese land? and rapt /kill V people?..
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pwsẽ không có ai chết nếu nước Mỹ không đem quân đến Việt Nam chúng tôi đâu có muốn chiến tranh
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw he said "we didn't want the war. There would have been no loss of life here if American hadn't started the war in VN". Just do translation for you😆
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw no sorry and dont say "not your choice". It is all your fault. Look Muhammad Ali, why he not like you.
As a Vietnamese American, it’s nice to see my parents hometown portrayed through a different perspective. My father arrived back to Seattle from Saigon just a week and a half ago. He said a lot of things changed and some things are still the same. Last time I went back to Vietnam was 2012, definitely getting flashbacks of traffic but saw some new things as well. Overall I love vids like these, makes me want to visit my roots once again.
my experience of Vietnam th-cam.com/video/kIG-Q1xlmSE/w-d-xo.html
@R Le Hi, I have a question you may be able to answer. Can people buy property in Vietnam without being Citizens? Thanks in advance.
PS. I can google but prefer info from someone who has connection to the country
It has definitely changed a lot, for the better, since then. You should make a visit and see for yourself. Saigon is a great city.
One of the best places I’ve ever been! I loved Vietnam
sameeee!! here's my Ho Chi Minh experience th-cam.com/video/kIG-Q1xlmSE/w-d-xo.html
I’m going to Vietnam 🇻🇳 in November! I’m just so excited after watching this!
It a place for vegans, try India
I lived in Saigon 4 years. They always drink beer over ice. Very little refrigeration available. Enjoy ✌️
Having travelled all round South East Asia I can 1000% say Vietnam is truly what SE Asia is all about , its honestly a place like no other and that buzz you get in places like Saigon or Hanoi…. Wow! I know its not for everyone but we absolutely loved it to bits and so many happy memories here. It was a tough choice for us between here and Bali where to move to, but we feel right now we want the
slower place of life having come from a city!! Would defo recommend Hanoi, Hoi an , Hue, ninh binh and sapa! Da lat was really lovely too 🥰 enjoy!!
If you want a slower pace, but still live in Vietnam, try Da Nang as many digital nomads love it there. Modern city next to the beach. Or try Da Lat, which many people love with the cooler weather and interesting vibe.
Thank you for your visit to my homeland Vietnam especially for your kind comments on my country.
You two seriously need to check out Hanoi, Hoi An and Da Nang. There are so many other cool cities and villages to check out. Vietnam is my favorite country in that area.
Welcome to my country of South Vietnam (Saigon). Left when I was a kid and haven't been back over 4 decades. Enjoy your time there you two.
ใบหน้าของคุณทั้งสองดูมีความสุขมากๆที่เวียดนาม ครั้งหน้าถ้าคุณมีโอกาสกลับมาเที่ยวที่ไทยอีกหวังว่าเราจะได้เห็นใบหน้าคุณทั้งสองมีความสุขและรอยยิ้มเหมือนที่คุณสนุกสนานที่เวียดนามบ้าง ขอให้อร่อยกับอาหารเวียดนามที่คุณชื่นชอบอย่างมีความสุข ลงคลิปวีดีโออีกเราอยากเห็นคุณมีความสุขที่คุณชื่นชอบเวียดนาม รักจาก🇹🇭🙏
ดูจากสีหน้า และความเห็นต่างๆของเขา คิดว่าเขาไม่น่าจะกลับมาอีกแล้วนะ...คงชอบเวียตนามมาก...แต่ฮานอยก็ดูสะอาดสะอ้านดีมาก ดูเป็นระเบียบเรียบร้อยกว่า กทม.ของเรา ไม่มีสายไฟระโยงระยาง ถนนหนทางเท่าที่ดูจากคลิปดูเรียบและสะอาดกว่าบ้านเราจริงๆ
ขอให้โชคดีในการท่องเที่ยว เวียดนามมีความเป็นชีวิตชีวาและผมก็ชอบมาก หวังว่าต้นปีหน้าคงจะได้ไปเที่ยวที่เมืองฮานอยอีกครั้ง
New camera looks great 👍 makes Lloyd look at least 5 years younger 😀 Travel well and enjoy Vietnam!
Thank you for this really pleasant and positive video. The link came up randomly and I happened to click it and saw that you spent your first days in Vietnam at the Oscar Hotel the same as I did but that was back in February 1988. I am from NYC and my wife from Saigon but she went to New York at the end of the war where we met in 1976 and married in June 1977. We moved to Vietnam full time in January 1995 where we remain. Back in 1995... there were of course no mobile phones here, no cable TV and no internet. If one needed to call home one had to go to the central post office and pay 10USD for a three minute call. Now that same post office provides free high speed internet which enables one to call home with video too by facetime etc for free! I have been fascinated with Vietnam since my first day here. The Oscar has had its ups and down over the years. Reminded that the pandemic has decimated so much including the Ben Thanh market which is yet to fully recover as the amount of tourist traffic is still only a tiny share of pre-pandemic levels. Anyway... wishing you safe and enjoyable travels!
🤗 I am a Vietnamese American who escaped Vietnam as a young "boat people refugee" in 1980. The communists confiscated all assets, home, and business of my parents and my relatives in Saigon in 1978. We successfully escaped VN between 1979 and 1986, and found a new life with open arms in peace and freedom in the U.S. and Europe. Now, the deadly wound is healed but I cannot forget the sad story ... Greetings from Southern California ⛱
@@bennynguyen3510 Vậy bạn hãy sống tốt ở bên đó đi. Đừng nên về Việt Nam nữa! Việt Nam vượt qua khó khăn đi lên từ đống hoang tàn do hậu quả chiến tranh để lại mới có được như ngày nay là do nỗ lực của toàn thể người dân trong nước. Việt Nam giờ đây là dành cho tuổi trẻ và tương lai chứ ko dành cho những kẻ chạy chốn khỏi đất nước khi đất nước đang rất khó khăn.
lIKE!
@@bennynguyen3510
Very understanding of what war has done to you. Put your hatred aside. If you hold onto it, it will torment you for the rest of your life. On the contrary, do you understand that American bombs have destroyed many villages, causing many deaths for the North-Vietnam. Vietnam, now developed very rapidly, changed a lot. If you don't believe it, just watch the Vologs of foreign tourists, share about Vietnam, you will understand better about Vietnam. Hope you come back to Vietnam soon to experience.
Your videos are getting better and better! Really loved seeing Saigon through your lens - definitely makes me want to visit even more 🙌🏽
Lòng biết ơn từ việt nam đến những cố gắng của anh chị .đã bấm thích cho anh chị thật nhiều
What is your favourite meal in Vietnam!? Let us know what we should try! :)
Give rat a crack.
Bo Ne for brekkie is awesome. Beef, eggs, pate, onions & sometimes Laughing Cow cheese on a sizzling cow-shaped hotplate, served with banh mi on the side. Breakfast of champions.
Go to Pho Hoa Pasteur, 260C Pasteur, Phường 8, Quận 3. Pho is very good, but better is the banana leaf pork sausage. I still remember the taste after 10 years. Yumm.
And you should put in your vdo one of the oldest coffee shops in the city. Seems other vloggers reluctant to do that.
Bo Ne for breakfast, egg coffee, Mi quang is my favorite central dish and is must try imo, had thick noodles, savory dish with all the goods, Bun Bo hue, Com Tam is must try,
Phở Lệ, Phở Hòa, bánh mì Huỳnh Hoa. Chị Tuyền egg roll noodles
thank you to you guys posting stuff about my home city. as covid hit i am struggling coming back home to visit. seeing positivity from foreigners coming to my home city and explore how i took my friends from around the world who visit vietnam back in the days. from the bottom of my heart, thank you for explored and enjoy my humble country of Vietnam
Glad you're liking Vietnam. It's cool to see you in new locations! Wishing you all the best.
I've seen a few videos about VIETNAM, and after watching your video I'm sold. This is my dream to travel there. Thank you.
Cảm ơn vì đã ghé thăm Sài Gòn.
I’m Vietnamese and have been living in US for a long time. I’ve been watching TH-cam quite a lot in last few months because I really wanted to visit Vietnam again sometime this year. Then I saw your videos in Vietnam. Just subscribed recently and love watching your videos.
Enjoy traveling and stay safe!😊
I was backpacking in Vietnam 6 years ago, it was the best experience ever.
I love saigon it got an amazing buzzing feelings. it like telling you that you are going to have fun in this city and the main ben thanh market is open from 6am to 6pm.
Great video guys! I was in Saigon in 2019 and all I remember is noise! I agree about the nice buildings and more greenery than expected. Love the fact you have a beer as soon as you get to a new place, same here! Keep making videos I'll watch 👊🏼💥
liKE!
th-cam.com/video/ODEIFJj93Ko/w-d-xo.html
I think you guys are really going to enjoy Vietnam! Have heard great things and most people absolutely love it
Guys, Vietnam gets so much better as you head north. I’m looking forward to this series 🤗
Agree! I much prefer Hanoi to Saigon
@@adamroy508 I hate Hanoi, they are rude and dirty, they invaded Saigon, F them, F communist.

Loving your vlogs guys !!! Your movie making is getting better each time … vietnam is the best DaNang - HoiAn - Hue - Haiphong and Hanoi !!!
Loving your videos more and more and always look forward to the next one! A pros and cons of each place you've been and maybe and order of preference for countries visited would be really helpful!
Missssss Vietnam sooo much!!!!!! The food and noise and everything in between!! Safe travels mates!!!
People in ho chi minh is super friendly ! I love it there 😍 💕 i was there 2 years
I came here in 2017 on a "six month backpacking/photo trip", and now I've planted my roots. If you come back to HCMC and you're looking for a more authentic experience, hit me up. I own a few restaurants now and can be found at Brick & Barrel right near Binh Thanh Market (you can see it from our balcony) most of the time. I'd be glad to sit and talk and let you know where all the cool things are.
Enjoy your trip guys ! Thanks for sharing your story and experience.
Bu Vien is Amazing! It's very popular for the younger and middle age crowd! The music, food, community, vibe, and people just want to have fun there!
I wanna go to Vietnam so bad. My dad fought in the war and it would be like everything coming full circle for me to touch down there. Going to Singapore and Malaysia in December, hopefully Taiwan and Vietnam soon
You should be there before 1975 and see where has your dad been
I too was in that war as an American. Called the American War in Vietnam. I have been back as a tourist 5 times now and have been to District 1 in HCMC, which is where today's video is toured. Very nice country indeed. I too have traveled all over Vietnam. Lots of terrific locations there.
OK. I'm a recent subscriber. Why does Lloyd look so on edge in all the the videos. The shifty eyes. Relax man.
Thank you for this amazing video!
I have been to the US for 5 years now, always miss home so much.
Hopefully Vietnam treats you well! Enjoy! Thanks for visiting our home!!
Chúc mừng 2 bạn đến đất nước Việt Nam 🇻🇳 của tôi
Thanks Lloyd and Mandy. You guys are great. Thanks for sharing your wonderful enthusiasm with us. We’ve been going to Thailand for over thirty years and have yet to visit Vietnam. You two have got us thinking we should give it a try.
Incidentally you two a great combo. You seem add so much to each other.
I've been living there for 5 years. Best place in the world.
Is December/January a good time to visit? Thinking of doing a trip there for New Years
@@bendutta8135 Yes, December to April is the dry season and the temperature is also cooler than the rest of the year. Best time of the year to visit without being interrupted by heavy rains.
Woah this place looks like absolute chaos haha Vietnam is very high on my bucket list! I'm hoping to be able to there at the end of this year! Another great vlog guys!
I hope your health improves

Mandy, I'm glad you have taking control of the camera. I love and watch your channel cuz of you and of course your helper Lloyd. LOL you both make my life possible.
Cafe sua da - Vietnamese iced coffee.
Troi Oi - Oh my God!!! Use it with intonation, the locals love it.
Cà phê sữa đá. 越南冰咖啡，我也很喜欢。
I'm heading to Thailand & Vietnam and your videos have been sooo helpful thank you!!!
Hi traveling mulberries! :P So glad i found your vid, im off to Vietnam from Aus in April. now i really cant wait!
Hello. From Vietnam with love!!🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🍺🍺🍺
I just found this channel and I’m so glad I did! Y’all are so cuute! Great vlog 😊
Just stumbled across your vlog guys. Love it. Subscribed and binge watching your videos now.
Got to say it Lloyd...you're killing it mate...Mandy's a glamma!
I'm sure she feels the same.
Good on you both👍🏽
Awesome video, really like the viewpoints of someone who just arrived in Saigon!
This really made me smile. Your energy is super refreshing!!! One day I will make it back to my country and have a good time sitting on the sidewalk eating a banh mi like you both 🤍 be safe and have fun
I like how you guys refer to HCM as Saigon. In my mind, it's always Saigon.
Impressive and liked all your genuine reactions to the City. Keep up the good traveling 👌
Love following along on your adventures guys x
i think more things and more places that you can discover in Saigon. Have a good trip, guys! 😘😘😘👍👍👍
Love how happy you guys seem in this latest vid😎
여자분이 정말 사랑스러운 미소를 가지고 있네요. 베트남에는 외국인을 사람으로 안보고 도구로 보는 것 같은 사람들이 많기 때문에 나쁜 경험을 하고 오는 사람들이 많지만 그런 나쁜 사람들을 만나지 않고, 행운이 함께 하는 즐거운 여행이 되기를 바랍니다.
Love your Vlog, production is the best, have fun 👍👍❤️
Wellcome to Vietnam! How long are you guys going to travel in Vietnam! I recommend that you need at least 4 weeks to travel from the south to north to experience & see everythings. Enjoy guys! By the way i am from Australia too.
There's a short sleeper bus ride from Ho Chi Min to Mui Ne, a fisherman's village. The round boats and local seafood places are fantastic and super reasonable. You can also jump on and off the small local red bus for about 50 cents to go exploring-- gorgeous sand dunes, etc. Have fun!!
Loving the soudtrack/songs in your video!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great adventures to be had. enjoy Vietnam
Really looking forward to seeing this part of your journey. We were last there 19 years ago on our honeymoon. We loved it.
Thank you so much form posting such a positive video about my home city. Make sure you try the “pho” and “Vietnamese rice cake” when you can. They are absolutely the best.
Absolutely wild glad you came to my city thank you very much don't forget to grab a souvenirs
Y'all are crushing it. I'm a bit of a degenerate lol and y'all are still my favorite travel vloggers right now, so you're certainly doing something right! Keep up the good work
You guys are super, enjoy all your travels.
Mulberry is a plant in the berry family. Its leaves are eaten by the silkworms. to make it bigger for making silk.....from Thailand 😊🤙
Really love your videos, so fresh and funny. Paris, France
Saigon memory brings me here. I never thought i did solo traveling there in 2011 and the experience was awesome. As a moslem, honestly the halal food was rare at that time (thanks to Indian vegetarian restaurant ☺). Looking forward to watching ur new videos around South East Asia 😇 all the best for u guys
*Chào mừng bạn đã đến với Sài Gòn 🇻🇳*
Thanks for sharing checking this city out soon
Hi Lloyd and Mandy..., This is my ( first video ) to watch and listen to both of you... I like ( Mandy's ) attitude and good look on life and beautiful smile... Mandy is bright, intelligent, and attractive... Always a good look at life and a beautiful smile... Lloyd..., I don't know ( about you ) and a grubby look on life and a growl about everything ( e.g., city, noise, people, sightseeing, history, motorbikes, food, including beer, and just about everything, etc. ). Sad... * I will look at a few more videos and hope that ( Lloyd's attitude will change and his outlook on life will improve, etc. ). * Hell Lloyd..., a ( smile ) once in a while would help, too... I know "Ho Chi Minh City"..., when it was ( Saigon ), Vietnam... The city has changed greatly, except for the warm to hot weather... The city has really changed... I still ( love ) the food... Anthony Bourdain said..., "Best food and people in the world." I totally "agree" with Anthony Bourdain... I do miss him... * Let me..., watch a ( few more of your videos ) and maybe "Lloyd"..., I will change my mind about you and your attitude ? " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)
Awe I didn’t realize how much I missed my country until I saw this. Thank you for your Awsome channel. ❤
Thank you for watching!
I really like your video. It has been a long time since I have been out and about in Saigon and I live here. You are definitely showing some great spots in HCMC. After lockdown a lot of places closed down. Vietnam took a huge hit so what you saw at Ben Thanh Market was the aftermath of Covid Lockdowns. Hopefully within the next year everything will be back at 100%. Right now I think we are only operating at 50% compared to before. Enjoy your trip!!!
Like this couple! Saigon, the lifeful place :)
You guys, look so happy together, Saigon looks amazing.
Thank you for this really pleasant and positive video. i Vietname
Chào mừng các bạn đến Việt nam. Chúc mừng các bạn có chuyến du lịch tràn ngập hạnh phúc
A big fat thumbs up for you guys. Hope you will be able to travel all the way to North VN. I just subscribed and look forward to future videos of your VN trip.
Wish you both have an interesting discovery in Vietnam!

Awesome thank you! I’ll be there in January 😊
Thank you for sharing. I love to venture out to Vietnam one day. The chaos of the traffic in HCM city is a worry for me with young children but it's good see alternatives in HCM away from that chaos.
Great job guys keep it up!
