This 20 hour first class sleeper train was NOT what we anticipated!
Our time in Vietnam has been nothing but amazing… until we got separated on a train that would take us 20 hours north from Da Nang to Hanoi! It was an experience that’s for sure!
First class could be questionable. But it certainly felt like 20 hours on a train! Let us know what you think of train travel. Would you take this 20 hour adventure?
Here is a little bit about us:
Hey!😁 We are Shevelle and Devan!
We are a South African couple who hopped on a plane to Thailand in 2020 and started to live a life we couldn’t even dream of! Our combined passion for travelling and video editing made us want to share our experiences, lessons and all the exciting new places that we discover! Thank you for virtually travelling with us!
Love Shev and Dev ❤️ #firstclass #vietnam #viral

NOOOOO THANK YOU
No. I would not take that train. Well done for putting a positive spin on it!
@@MrGman2804 Haha we definitely tried to make the most out of it 🥰
@@armandoquinanola8907 Hehe 😬
No...
You guys deserve a day in a spa after that epic train ride!! I couldn't have done it!! Well done you are both so gracious about it all!!
I really like VN after having lived and worked there for 10 years and we finally made it back to VN this summer after 10 yrs in the West. Practically everything had improved and will always love VN for its people, food, scenery, cost, etc. but I must say VN Railways had not changed for 10 years. I understand VN Railway is at a crossroad while waiting for government on what type of new railway system will it uses but it can certainly invest in its train bathrooms and its top cabin amenities. I understand many locals still use it as a means of inexpensive transportation but its top cabin and all of the bathroom can be improved. Seems like all aspect of VN is putting on its best foot forward to continue improve VN's image as a great tourist destination but VN Railways is not doing its part.
Thanks from Vietnam
Cảm ơn bạn đã góp ý, mong rằng Việt Nam sẽ phát triển về mọi mặt để tương thích với cuộc sống hiện đại.

Lãnh thổ VN không quá rộng nên hiện nay chính phủ đầu tư cho đường bộ và hàng không nhiều hơn. Đường sắt này hiện nay ít người đi rồi, nhiều người đi với mục đích là du lịch và trải nghiệm nhiều hơn là với mục đích tiết kiệm tiền. Bởi sắp tới có đường cao tốc Bắc - Nam và hiện có vé máy bay giá rẻ thì nó cũng ngang giá đi tàu hỏa thôi. Dự kiến VN sau sẽ phát triển đường sắt phục vụ cho du lịch trải nghiệm nhiều hơn.
Vietnam was a fantastic country but yes the railways can improve . Hopefully they improve and reduce the time as train travel is the best way to see the country .
So much disadvantages after wars. We tried lots together in building infrastructures. It can be not good as others but we are welcome guys by hospitality and smiles!
We have received the warmest welcome here in Vietnam. Everyone is so kind and friendly to us! We really appreciate that always 🥰🙏
Vietnamese people have been through a lot of suffering, that's good, I think 10 years from now everything will be better.
Had to chuckle when you talked about solo travelers doing this. A few years ago I took the night train from Hanoi to Sapa as a solo female traveler. I was put in a room where I was the only person that spoke English and the woman in charge of our car also did not speak any English. During the night there was a landslide and the woman in charge came in giving instructions. I had no idea what was going on. Luckily one of the young men in my room used google translate to tell me that I was to follow them. That we were being put in vans and taken one hour down the line and then back on the train waiting on the other side. We were all given blue plastic rain ponchos and we looked like an army of smurfs escaping the train. I found the people on the train so nice! But after a lovely time in Sapa (one of my favorite place in Vietnam) I was happy to take a VIP van back to Hanoi. ( and it was quicker ) ! Can't wait for your next video. ( oh did Dev's socks come clean after walking around the train? caught a glimpse of the bottoms once lol )
Hope to visit Vietnam on long holiday here in the Phils. I've known some Vietnamese here and they're so kind. Sending love to you both and to Vietnam. ❤
Once you’re in the North of Vietnam, there are 4 must go places that you definitely wanna cash for:
- Ha Long bay (the world’s best heritage)
- Sapa town (The Fansipan: rooftop of the Indochina)
- Ha Giang: breathtakingly gorgeous spots. Trust me!
- Hanoi: food, markets, weekend-only walking street,
Cheers and enjoy
I would replace Sapa with Ninh Binh. Sapa overlaps with Ha Giang a lot, and Ha Giang just feels a lot more genuine and authentic.
几年前去了河内，印象深刻，必须自己去感受你会喜欢在越南旅行
People must sometimes experience hardship in order to fully appreciate what they have. It teaches us humility🙏🏼
So true! 🥰
I like how the young little princess keep looking out to the windows and enjoying all the beautiful view. I would joined her if i were on that try ride..
She was the best! And so well behaved too! Lovely girl 🥰❤️
Great video take the ruff with the smooth when travelling it’s the best experience,,,,peace and happiness on your travels Shev and Dev
Sorry for the inconvenience that you had, our railway transportation is developing, i'm glad it worth the experience
Somtime slow it good you can enjoy the road
@@HieuLe-ht7ob if they can get it from 20h down to about 12 that would be a bit better. That way can sleep for about 8-10 and enjoy view for rest of it
Also it is way too expensive. Idk how the locals can afford it
Most Vietnamese would recommend taking the plane as it's cheap there or a VIP sleeper bus. The trains are in terrible condition.
Whoa!! 20 hrs on the crowded train…you really embraced this challenge with grace.
12:29 Such a wonderful family. My heart explodes with joy. ❤️🌈
Ps. The Airstream with the full kitchen looks EPIC!! I always love Van Life.
🤣😂😅😆
AMAZING how upbeat and positive you both stay under any circumstance! I am not sure I would have faired so well. My back was hurting and a slight headache just watching 19 minutes of your 20 hour travel lol. A well desered spa/rest day is in order... Love you both!
Hi, full respect to you both on the 20 hour train journey.You both looked so sad initially when you would be separated but it worked out in the end for you.
You both looked exhausted at end of journey.Hope you have your energy levels back .
Take care and safe travelling
omg what an adventure! you r such a good team both of you❤❤
Welcome to Hanoi! You should try going to Hoan Kiem Lake at the weekend
Thank you for the warm welcome Ky🥰🙏
Wow! Fantastic video! But, I am sure a bit difficult to deal with. The scenes of Shev by herself were wow! It had to pull at everyone’s heart. Back together the happiness; it was amazing. Shev and Dev are 2 people that are amazing together. It’s not faked. It’s why I enjoy you guys. The cute proper couple that they’re videos are interesting and everyone can watch. I did not know they had trains there.
I would love that type of travel. Traveling with the locals. Being with children is always fun. View looks great.
Aw glad to hear that Randall 🤗
This trip is what you will remember in years to come and have big laughs about it. Its travel like this that stays in your heart forever. I wish I could still travel this way but alas now days I cant survive without proper sleep. Love you guys.
Aw thank you! We definitely wont forget it haha! 🥴🤗
Happy Monday shev and Dev.. Stay safe always.. Enjoy your ride
Thank you so much Conrado! It was definitely intense haha 🥲😅
Uh oh. Not a train trip I would appreciate. But you two are so accepting of new experiences such as this one! Love your cheerfulness always. I’ve followed you in your trips in the Philippines and now Vietnam!
Wow, what a journey. Sleeping in 1 bunk and losing your chips to the kids! You're going to love Hanoi it is amazing. Have a fab time xx
Hahaha! What a journey indeed🥲 Thank you so much Paul🤗
Loved seeing your experience. I'm going to try this trip, Granted it's not the most comfortable but like you said Shev it's an experience you won't forget. i loved seeing you interacting with the Vietnamese kids. So lovely! I think they enjoyed your chips. ;-
Hi Shev & Dev, you guys are such Troopers and have beautiful personalities. This has got to be your 3rd or 4th train excursion in Asia. God Bless your Tenacity and Patience 😀. Continued Safe Journeys and Stay Safe Always ❤️🚉 🇻🇳
Thank you for sharing the train experience. I think I am definitely sure if I am going there or not.
very happy to see your journey,.... success always for you....
enjoy your trip Shev &Dev
keep safe and Godbless always .
After I watched your video, I wanna move to Vietnam 🇻🇳
I've taken a similar train from Da Nang to Hue along the coast. I wasn't in a sleeper berth, but a"first-class" seat. It was... an adventure. Here in Japan, I'm used to getting to my train by walking on an overpass or through a tunnel to the train platform which is very safe. In Da Nang, we had to walk across the tracks... live tracks (!)... that trains were running along. That blew my mind. There also wasn't any raised platform. You literally had to climb up onto the train with your luggage from the ground. Still, Vietnam was a great place to visit with friendly people, delicious food, and beautiful scenery. We would like to go back someday.
it's indeed an adventure to ride on a train for 20 hours. Be safe guys, Enjoy.
Hahah it was a loooong journey! Thank you for watching Cris 🥰🚂
Omg dont think I would do so good in that train. Hang in there you to.
Aw thank you Don! Haha it was intense but we survived hehe🥰❤️
20 hrs! But love the countryside sceneries of Viet Nam. Have some good massage then. Excited on your Ha Long content.
Thank you so much! Ha Long video coming soon 🥰
Wow, I thought I have Ben told I have the patience of an Angel 👼🏽, but you two win! 🤗😆 Love the cute kids, ❤🥰 but I’ll be on the plane please and THANKYOU! 🙏🤗 Quicker!
You two are so cute can not be apart for more then an hour.True Love.
Vietnam beautiful country love from the philippines
Gosh.... Full respect to you both. Shev, If I were you I will cry on the train 😅😅😭 Anyway, the scenery is very very beautiful. Also a way to get closer with the locals. Heart felt as well when Shev saying some people sleeping on the corridor or near the toilet. Please enjoy the North guys. Do visit Sapa. Heard it's a beautiful place.
Very long journey nice scenery..greens and seas..wow..but many times.. public toilets maintenance are the perennial problem in many places.
An Giang province is very beautiful, friendly people, hope you come here to visit
Welcome to Ha Noi. Have a nice trippp!
Thank you! Hanoi video coming soon! 🥰
Enjoy your travel and safe trip guys
Thank you so much for watching Suay! 🥰
I known South Afica when i watched World Cup 2010. Wavin' Flag song so awesome. In the international music video of "Wavin' Flag", there are clips made in Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa ,Vietnam. Although the crew of this MV secretly went to Vietnam to record, without revealing any information, nor captioning in the MV that they went to film, but viewers still realizing the idyllic village scene and the simple people of Vietnam, any Vietnamese who watch "Wavin' Flag" feel proud to realize that their country 's image is being broadcast around the world. With me "Wavin' Flag' is the best World Cup song ever.
Wish you both a happy trip, there are cute children on the train
Cám ơn bạn chia sẻ video tuyệt vời này.
I hope you can make your next video in Ha Noi, and hope you have the best experience there👍👍👍
Welcome to Viet Nam. Hope you enjoy your trip guys!
Chào mừng 2 bạn đến Việt Nam . mình ko biết tiếng Anh nhưng rất thích 2 bạn.chúc 2 bạn mãi như thế nhé
Great memories guys .
Aw thank you hehe ❤️
Ahh it's the worst when you have to split up with your partner 😩 David and I are also super close and do everything together! You guys did so so well 😊 Thank you for the tour. You guys are really preparing us for our South East Asia travel next year 😂
wow, long time no see... you went to vietnam!
Wow so much fun. 🤩🤗
Hahaha we tried to make the most of it 🥰🙏
Thật tuyệt vời cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ
Enjoy your journey 😁😁😁😁
Hello there! Thank you so much for watching 🥰✨
enjoy your trip :D
I just realized how beautiful the country is i wanna go visit my grandma again
Aww we hope you can very soon! 🥰
I watched your two videos about my country and I can't believe that foreign people think my country is a beautiful and nice place.Thank you so much!
Thank you! 😃
@@ShevandDev enjoy it 😉😉
I'm about to drop my Vietnam train experience, so I wanted to check out other peoples videos. Yours is by far the best I've seen out of everyone else's. Good job.
Wow! This has made our day! Thank you so much🤗😁
@@ShevandDev most westerners who do this focus on themselves and complain. Travel to me, is about interactions with others. You actually have that. You actually left your cabins. Maybe if you two were not separated you may have been like the others. I just prefer videos that have interactions with people. My train video is all about interactions. Mine has singing, dancing, magic. I even got a whole cart of like 50 Vietnamese people singing me a song. That’s travel to me and you touched on things i do. Keep it up.
Unless you want to do it for the experience, then most Vietnamese folks don't recommend the train. Take the VIP sleeper buses instead. Check out the one that "2Passport 1Dream" took...it was an awesome bus.
@@doodahgurlie not as awesome as my train ride.
12:52 that chaos t-shirt looks Nice man
I really wanted to do that trip but ended up not having enough time to go to Hanoi. I think it looks much more comfortable and nice than I was expecting! And the other passengers look really friendly.
Its a long way, hope you will have a lot of fun in Ha Noi
Thank you, Hanoi video coming soon 🥰
Great views from the train and it got you there. If I had to take that I would sleep for 12 hours before boarding! It didn't look very comfortable.
Hahaha that is a great idea actually! We wish we did that, when we arrived in Hanoi, we literally passed out immediately! 🤣🥲
I'm Vietnamese but currently living in the US, you should try to travel to City Nha Trang and Phu Quoc, these two cities can be said to be the best in Vietnam. You can reseach Nha Trang City and Phú Quốc on youtube
điểm du lịch tốt nhưng chặt chém khách kinh khủng lắm. .chi phí ăn uống khách sạn giá cực kỳ đắt đỏ
they already skipped them, they're going north
Wow, i'm really blieved you're right when choose the train to discover spectacular landsapce of Viet Nam! 😊 I hope u have delight when go to Ha Noi, the capital of my country 🇻🇳 Good luck!
Thank you so much! Hanoi video coming soon 🥰
Việt Nam 🇻🇳 Chào Hai Bạn , Việt Nam Đất Nước Tôi Bị Chiến Tranh Quá Nhiều,Nhưng Người Việt Nam Tôi Yêu Quỷ Những lịch Sử Rồi.Người Việt Nam ko Có Hận Thù Trong Từ Điển, Các Bạn Đến Việt Nam Được chào Đón❤ Dù các Bạn là Ai ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️
Nói dóc vừa thôi mầy........
Hi Shev and Dev! Just curious what is the brank of the black backpack that Dev is carrying most of the time? Thank you and I enjoyed watching your videos.
Pity and sorry that i have just stumbled on your both YT channel . today , after having watched few videos of yours , i can realise that, you both are into our Vietnamese food. If you are both still in Viet Nam, pls don't miss out this dish ( Nem Nuong) . Nha Trang has got the best one. But you both can try this one in any other cities in VietNam , hopefully it is as good as the one in Nha Trang city. Greetings Khale ( p/ s just type Nem Nuong Nha Trang then you both will get some grip about how this dish really is . This dish is my favourite one in Viet Nam, so far )
Welcome to Vietnam, enjoy your trip in Vietnam
i was smiling through the while train journey 😊😊
Aw so happy you enjoyed this one! Thank you 🥰🙏
oh, separated !!!! Take care and be safe !
Aw thank you Amy 🥰
I think you're both too polite to say how it really was because I would of got off at the 1st stop ..fair play to you both for sticking it out ..
haha thank you Gary! 🥰
That was dreadful! The toilet was awful! I’m glad you guys made it without complaining on the video 🤣
Right!!🤣🥲
Wow you guys are brave to take a 20hr train journey.
Haha it was definitely intense for sure!!😅🥲🚂
Great video i enjoyed watching
Thank you Terry! So happy you enjoyed it 🥰🙏
That trip looks grueling and much have tested your patience.
các bạn đang đi trên chuyến tầu hỏa cũ nhất của chúng tôi. ở việt nam có rất nhiều chuyến tầu hiện đại hơn và tất nhiên giá vé sẽ đắt hơn. chào mừng các bạn đến với việt nam, chúc các bạn có những trải nghiệm thú vị.

I believe you have to book all berths in the "Stateroom;" then its One-Party, One Room . . . I think a multi-day trip in the day coach is pretty common, but you do develop relationships with the other travelers sort of like birds in a tree. . . a daycoach with facing seats and you can spends hours listening to people telling about their son in college etc . . .😺😺😺
Please go to Halong bay or Sapa for enjoying the beautiful sightseeing there
Cannot wait to show you our Ha Long bay video - coming soon 🤗
Chuc hai ban hanh phuc khi o VIET NAM..
Thank you! 🤗
Welcome to Hanoi!
Yay! Thank you for your warm welcome! We need a rest after the train haha 🥰🚂
lekker my fellow ZA'S. LOVELY VID. I TAKE IT YOU FLYING BACK! LOL.
Hahahah Nothing would make us go home (Except to see our parents) heheh 😉🥲
@@ShevandDev I meant No trains! flying from now on.
Crazy you were split up on that train!
I know! It was so crazy haha! 😂
Ở Hà Nội vào thứ 7 và chủ nhật trên hồ hoàn kiếm sẽ là phố đi bộ , ở đấy thật sự rất vui và sôi động .
chúc chuyến đi du lịch của bạn tại đất nước tôi có những trải nhiệm tốt nhất
Welcome to Phan Rang Thap Cham city
So sweetie 💕💕
Thank you 🥰
oh! so sorry for the bad experience on the train......once in a life time experience though lol :)
Haha yes it wasn’t bad at all! We were really glad to meet some amazing people along the way. That’s what matters 🥰✨
Wow! Brave adventure travelers!
The Reunification Express is not for the feint of heart....
First Class accommodations in Vietnam do not appear to be up to the commensurate designation in western countries.
Sharing sleeping accommodations with complete strangers is not my idea of first class.
However, on the positive side you got to see a lot of the country side that you couldn't see from 35,000 feet.
Can't wait for your Hanoi and Ha Long Bay videos.
Hahah you got that right Jim! We cannot wait to show you our Hanoi and Ha Long bay videos! They were our favourites 😉
Boarded this sleeper train back in 2016 and I know you guys were holding back in this video 😂 it was rough! The beds were unsanitary and reeked of urine. The rooms where the AC did work - it would be blasting arctic cold air for one period of them and then shut off randomly and the room would get steamy hot. Terrible toilet units. Literally got sick and rashes after a 12 hr rush - I'm not sure how you guys survived 20! 😭
Online it says it costs 1.2milliondong too 😂 the planes cost half
@@terryevans2467 It's usually better to take the plain or VIP sleeper buses than the trains in Vietnam...the only time tourists should take the train is if they want the experience. I know I cannot do it. I get jittery on a 3 hour flight, never mind a 20 hour train ride crammed with people and noises.
4-5 hours on train could be great but if more than that..wow...as you knew it😄
Hahaha yes so true! Overnight is quite a long journey 🥹
chuyến đi sẽ tuyệt vời nếu các bạn đến các bản làng tây bắc và thưởng thức mấy món cá nhảy thắng cố. sẽ rất đáng nhớ =((
Been Amazing seeing all the places you guys have visited! Did you get the packet of chips back?! 🤣
So nice to see a familiar name! Had no idea you watched haha! Hope you are doing well and NO we did not get the chips back! 🤣🥲
@@ShevandDev hehe I'm doing well thanks 🙏From the looks of it you guys are doing pretty well yourselves!Videos are awesome! Keep them coming 🤟
I like your video.
Loveeee
❤️❤️
I am up with a 20 hour ride but in peace haahhahahah I can't tolerate chaos . But if I have no choice I adjust too. It's just that I prefer peace. Might add this adventure to my bucketlist haaha. I only dreamed of train rides in Japan and Switzerland but I think I'll start with this one. Also view is amazing ,I'll be in the hallway most of the time haha
You are so right! I am sure you would love this little challenge! We love trains and really want to try them in Japan and Switzerland too! Bucket list for sure!😍
I just watched your channel on tiktok
