- Ninh Bình has beautiful limestone cliffs dubbed as Ha Long Bay on Land, and is stunning but it's so busy and touristy is it still worth visiting Ninh Bình in 2023?

Love it bro! B roll and drone shots turned out nice 🔥
Yeah man, can’t wait for your big Vietnam video! 🇻🇳
Ninh Binh is so far my favourite place in Vietnam. I stayed in Trang An which is a lot more quieter than Tam Coc. Tam Coc boat ride can be really good or complete garbage depending on your boatman. I was in luck with mine. The lady was an absolute gem! She even stopped at the viewpoint and we hiked there together. At the end she received a hefty tip w/o even asking. She was amazing. But a boat ride I would really recommend is the Trang An boat ride. The views are amazing! And you will also not get scammed by either the boatman or people along the way
베트남은 정말 아름답습니다. 사람들은 착하고 친절합니다. 음식도 맛있습니다. Vietnam is really worth traveling.
I solo traveled in Ninh Binh December 2019 and I can totally relate when you said you had to stop at random spots because the views are amazing. Everywhere is picturesque!
I know right everywhere you look it’s just so picturesque!
Great content! Thank you for sharing.
We went there in Nov. Your clip was a great reminder of my visit here.
I love ninh bình, there was some interesting places to see. Thanks for sharing
Great shots! Taken some notes for our videos :)
Amazing video! Beautiful view. Drive safe 🛵🛵
Thank you! Will do!
Just watched ur video! m heading to Ninh Binh tomorrow 👍🏻 it’s good to go there with ur experience in mind … Loved it 👏
Have fun and enjoy Ninh Binh its a great place!
I’m currently in Ninh Binh, deffo going to check out that first viewpoint tomorrow! Love your content, looking forward to ha Giang loop video as I agree it was the best thing I’ve done :)
I am currently editing it and I am so excited to share it!!
Very good video thank you
Great video man! That's crazy with the river scam too, good catch on that though! Excited to see your next adventures:)
Thanks man! yeah a little bit of a trick, but just things you have to keep a watch out for
Joel is the GOAT! Thanks for another awesome video!
What the goat
any thanks Jeff, I'm definetly not I didn't really like it either, I can't be 😂
@@Joelfriend Greatest Of All Time
Beautiful Ninh Binh.. ❤
Just beautiful wow, I really didnt know Vietnam was amazing to visit. Some of the beaches are spectucular!!! Wow!!!
It really is! Vietnam is such a beautiful country and there is so much to see!
@@Joelfriend Yes love your videos my friend!!!
Beautiful video! What month did you go? I’m planning for January but I’m afraid of the weather being bad.
Đi Cô Tô, Nha Trang, Quy Nhơn, Phan Thiết đi men! Đẹp lắm!
Really cool video, it was just suggested and i enjoyed it. I have a question about the drone situation in vietnam because I’m going there soon, did you register your drone?
Was there a few months ago. Absolutely unreal. I mean yeah theres a lot of tourists around the boats and look outs etc but its so easy to ride around on a moto and forget all that. The roads arent busy at all.
looks worth
OMG, you re brave
Was my favourite place in Vietnam
Hi Joel, loved the cinematic shots of the goat but then found it confusing that you wanted to eat one!!
Ahaha 🤣 it’s a local delicacy but yes I did think when editing that was very weird
I feel bad for ya, cuz your quality so so good but not too many viewers 🥺
Aww thank you so much! Hopefully more come!
Any recommendations for flying a drone in nihn bihn? Taking the bus from cat ba tomorrow!
Hi Joel : greats video's !! can you tell us more about the legislation for drones ? thank you !
Awesome content man. I noticed I see you walking around with a camera. Are you using a GoPro for your vlogging videos and the camera for you’re cinematic shots?? and then obviously drone shots with the drone. Also what camera you using man?? Safe travels bro ❤
Yes I am mostly! I recently have started using my main camera more for vlogging it's just not great for some occasions as it's a lot bigger. I use the Sony A7RV as my main camera.
Hey, live the video, quick question what's the law regarding drones?
You missed the father of Buddha, which is the first Buddha ever existed in buddism, it was in the big temple next to a big square
I can not wait for Ha Giang loop by motorbike. It must be better than Hai Van pass.
WAY BETTER! So excited to share the next video this Sunday!
What is the name of the pagoda you visited early morning?
I think the Vietnamese just don't know how to cook goat as good as the Greeks.
The little motor bikes ans scooters seem to provide awesome freedom.
Stunning scenery and footage, great work mate.
Found the river scam funny 😂 also I previously went on it and my guide said u have to open the snacks for them coz otherwise when they go back they just return the snacks and constantly recycle them
Yeah man, it's funny, just being a little cheeky ahah. That's good to know!
Hey nice video, at what time of the year did you traveled?
I travelled to Vietnam in end of march time 😌
The rule to recognize good or not so good restaurant is the ppl. If empty then no good.😊
in which period you were in Tam Coc?
As a vietnamese i feel so sad for the women that scamming on the boat 😞
Cái trò lừa đảo vặt vãnh rác rưởi này dẹp mãi không hết,thật là tức .Chỉ vì vài đồng bạc mà họ quảng hết nhân phẩm
@@lanngocnguyen6836buồn thật! nhiều người sống nhờ du lịch mà làm xấu du lịch Việt Nam vài đồng tiền cũng không làm họ giàu lên nhưng nhiều người nghe thông tin sẽ mất cảm tình và sẽ chọn lựa nơi khác. Nạn lừa chặt chém, lôi kéo, nói thách không biết khi nào mới bỏ hết được. Chính quyền cần phạt những người này thật nặng và có thể cấm họ bán trên sông này nếu vi phạm để không làm xấu bộ mặt du lịch Việt Nam.
@@quanganh1368I went to Vietnam for 3 weeks and the only time I got really “scammed” was in Hoi An, but even then I was aware of it I was just too tired to care at that point. Was surprised how honest most of the people were
30 000 Dong for 1 can of beer is quite expensive but I don’t have to even think about it as a Vietnamese traveler. It’s just 1.2 dollar
Today you have a friend
Yeah!
That's a pretty common scam here - the seller suggests buying a drink and a snack for your rower, takes the money, then your rower discretely returns the water and snack to the seller in exchange for a cut. They almost got me when I was there but thankfully I'd heard about it beforehand!
Do you think October is ok weather-wise for north and mid Vietnam?
Yes october should be ok
Love your video
One question, please ,if I may asked?
Is it better to buy Vietnam currency back home, or get it out of ATM locally?
Cheers
from Australia
I had no problem using an atm when I was there, just had to tell my bank that I was traveling so they didn’t block it, personally depending on where u are they’re might not be an atm ur better off just bringing some Vietnamese $ with you and using an atm if u need it
Something to keep in mind is that you’ll use smaller like 20,000 Dong notes (about 1 USD $) much more than the bigger bills, they might just take the bigger bill and not have/give you the change back if ur trying to use a 500,000 VND note to pay for like a soda
@@Allen667sjja
Thank you!
Cheers
If you want to try goat meat in Ninh Binh, you'll have to search for some good restaurants on the internet first, or just go to a restaurant named Chính Thư. Ninh Binh is not famous for the Pho actually. Grilled goat meat, goat hotpot, goat blood...etc are better. Also, ducks and bánh cuốn there really worth trying 🔥
You can try asking the locals for some good places to eat.
Vietnam looks wicked!
😢😢😢😢😢
Bất kì quốc gia nào cũng có người tốt và kẻ xấu tổng thể mà nói Việt Nam! Thuộc top đầu những nước có người dân thân thiện nhất rồi. Tuy nhiên đôi khi bạn gặp phải những kẻ xấu 😢
@@trinhduycuong1991 họ đang khen ông tướng ạ
@@trinhduycuong1991 “wicked” is a compliment. It’s slang
Hello
hey
Do you have an M endorsed international drivers permit or do they even check for it?
I do have one, but in Ninh Bình specifically thy don't ask for it
@@Joelfriend Finding mixed results on this topic. I guess it's regional then? Heard a few nightmare stories about Ha Giang Loop requiring it.
Are there any additional permissions I need to fly a drone in Vietnam, which is under 250 grams?
No permission, Vietnam is very relax with the drone.
New style hack-and-slash tourism in Trang An - Ninh Binh
In the clip of a young British blogger visiting Trang An by boat, a hawker boat stopped by to offer and agree to buy two cans of beer for 30,000 a can, but the vender took more. The shop gave her the boatwoman and said it was a gift and asked the young tourist to pay 200,000...
I don't understand when there was a business like this in Trang An? Tourists once gone won't come back
I’ve recently told the shop sellers sell the items back to the hawker boats to resell to other tourists. It’s a shame it’s happening, I agree to support snd buy 2 beers.
Cần phải lên án hành động này của người bán hàng,là người Việt nam tôi cảm thấy rất xấu hổ.Xin lỗi các bạn
@@lanngocnguyen6836No need to apologize, scams exist everywhere, I get ripped off worse in Boston lol

Jk i love your videos 😅
If you’re wondering where we are… Wait a minute who is we? I only see you as in singular one person… What are you talking about?
bạn là người khá nhiều năng lượng trên cả hành trình . video thật đẹp và hay chỉ có tí sạn vụ lừa đảo của các chị bán hàng trên sông . cảnh này làm tôi thấy ko vui .
Please declare to local police what you got on boat. It isn't good for Viêtnam!
Declare what?
@@curiousindian2712 the price. It isn't suibtable price. That effect to reputation of Vietnam tourist.
Ninh Binh's traditional crafts are fascinating to learn about. th-cam.com/video/wJj3ZcGD52A/w-d-xo.html
Ninh Binh apologizes to you. The government already knows that they closed Tam Coc for 3 months and have just reopened
I don’t like the way local try to scam and harassing tourist in Ninh Binh . They do this to everyone .
Tại sao lại có kiểu lừa đảo này ở Tràng an.nó gây khó chịu cho du khách
Goat meat is the best in Ninh Binh!!
What's the best goat dish?
Pho is not a good dish with goat. You should try other dishes.
Why is goat pho not good?
@@fenyx2558 because it's too chewy to go with a noodle soup and it has a certain scent to it that doesn't match phở vibe + there're better ways to serve goat meat (plain steamed and dipped in tương bần is surprisingly good). That's what I think, not coming from that area.
@@kienpham8055 Wow. Thanks for the detailed reply.
Bruh where is the Hanoi video? 😂😂
In 3 videos time!
The boat ride is a joke £390 for 2 ppl, then over priced drink and snacks along the way and if u don’t have the correct money they keep your money. It’s got even worse now, the boat drivers forces each person to pay 50k tip
Yeah they got ripped off bad
Dong! Not £ 🙄
Where is your lovely partner
she is Thailand for the next 3 videos but then will be back! :)
Well, I plan to go to Ninhbinh. Make sure I won't buy anything on the boat. Thx scammers.
Tourist complaining about there being too many tourists 😉
That's me ahah, I literally get up early to avoid people! haha
De quel pays s'agit-il, pouvez-vous me dire ?
