This is hands down the best Vietnam travel vid I have seen on TH-cam, well done for going somewhere different than the usual routine. Also it's nice to see English people being respectful to the locals.
You are attracting so much attention because you are off the beaten track.
Wow, thank you so much for watching & leaving such a lovely comment. So glad you enjoyed the video🤘
Wow! your motorbike saga is #5stars. Just wow! I'm in the States, but i would agree with the locals you just look celebrities, (related to Cate Blanchett & Sean Connery?). Binge watched and watching again! Love it. :)
Try eating bánh cuốn, bún chả, bún bò huế, bún chả cá lã vọng, bánh canh cua, bún thịt nướng, bánh xèo, cơm tấm, bánh khọt, bánh bèo, hủ tiếu, cao lầu, bún thang, bún mọc, mì quảng, bánh tráng nướng, bánh tráng trộn, bánh mì, phở bò, lẩu bò, lẩu dê, vú heo nướng chấm chao, súp cua, cơm gà xối mỡ, cá viên chiên, gà ủ muối, gỏi cuốn, gỏi gà xé phay, mì vịt tiềm, mì sủi cảo hoành thánh, mì xào giòn, cơm chiên dương châu, bún mắm, chả mực, chả cốm, chả rươi, phá lấu bò… 😂😂
Thanks for the recommendations🤪
Great video. Just some translations for you guys around 19:43, the owner said: "There're guests in the the room to the left. It might be loud. Then offered the next room which he said is more ok"
Thanks for translating for us, that makes so much sense to us now. Thank you!
@@TheJammyGits The language and culture barrier is sometimes an issue leading to misunderstanding and confusion .
This episode is lovely. I’m happy that you guys have been safe throught the journey and feel welcoming in Vietnam.
Here are some tips that you may find useful:
- Vietnamese are very hospitable, and they will even like you more if you try to speak some Vietnamese with them. Hence it’d be nice if you learn some simple sentences like: Xin chào (hello), tạm biệt (good bye), cảm ơn (thank you), bao nhiêu tiền (how much?), ngon quá (delicious)
- Google translate voice comes in handy when speaking with locals, it’s quite accurate.
- When traveling on the road, please try to stay away from trucks, buses and containers for more safe drives.
- in rural Vietnam, you will usually find stores owned by a household, kind of convenient ones that sell all types of stuffs. If you need something, don’t be afraid to ask the owner.
- Some delicious Vietnamese foods I highly recommend you guys to try: for main courses: bánh xèo, bún chả, phở bò/gà, bún bò huế, nem rán, rau muống xào tỏi, cơm sườn. for breakfast: bánh mì, xôi, bánh cuốn, milky coffee. These can be found in almost every province in Vietnam so you can just ask locals for finding selling places.
As a Vietnamese, I’m so proud that you guys choose to spend your time experiencing my mother country. Vietnam has a great history worth getting to know, people aren’t wealthy but very nice and supportive. I hope you have a fun time here. Can’t wait for a new episode!
Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for your tips on Vietnam!
Hello guys, Vietnamese are usually really friendly and nice. Remember they’re not laughing at you, they’re laughing with you. Also keep it Raw Vlog that way you can enjoy the moment while we get to experience it with you. Cheers 👍🍻🍻
The Vietnamese are lovely people. Thank you for watching😁
Tips. If you're driving and wearing a zip up wind breaker, wear it backwards. You passenger can be protected from the wind with her hands inside the jacket.
Thanks for the tip!
Com = Rice, Ga = Chicken, Chien = fried. Com tam = broken rice
Thank you!😃
😎
Vietnamese people are very friendly and welcoming . They love to take photos with the tourists or wave and say Hello to them on the roads . The visitors who are coming to Vietnam for the first time might find it weird and scary . But don't worry our people are very open-minded and not at all prejudicious . They have no bad intentions towards the foreigners and always consider them like VIP guests and try to make them feel welcome and more comfortable . Ride safely and hope you will enjoy your trip in our country .
The Vietnamese people are so hospitable and friendly, it’s such a beautiful country with beautiful people!
Great video's, been to most places on motorbike, but not Vietnam yet, better weather than carlisle 😂👍
Thank you for watching, the good weather doesnt last too long 😅
You guys are gorgeous. You certainly were celebrities in that town. Great video
Wow, thank you!
Hi Vietnamese, people like that they just tried to be nice so don’t worry they looking at you is doesn’t mean anything I hope you guys enjoy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧Scotland
We’re not used to it haha, but they are so friendly. Thank you!
I actually spent 32 minutes watching this video. Very interesting.
Thank you for watching!
I had never seen that lake/reservoir in any other vietnam youtube vids before. Thank you for going out of your way, literally, to show us that. (I was like, "where the heck are you going?" lol...) Hospitality is an essential part of Vietnamese culture and people are generally warm, kind, and friendly (except for the corrupt cops) so don't be surprised. They stare because they're curious and don't see too many tourists in that part of the country, and also because in their eyes, Caucasians are beautiful (and you guys are a good-looking couple :)) so they tend to look with admiration. I'm an introvert too and I don't like to draw attention to myself, so kudos to you for filming out in public. Western culture is one of individualism and mind-your-own-business but not in vn. In fact, there's not much personal space there as they'd hug and touch you without knowing you but that's their way of showing friendliness and affection. Chien=fried, ga=chicken, com=cooked rice. Anything "chien" would be deep fried or stir fried. :) Good job and carry on!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a lovely comment! Vietnam has opened our eyes to how friendly and loving people can be, even if they're complete strangers. I'm so happy we can share our journey with you🥰
@@TheJammyGits I've rewatched this three, four times. It brings me joy and makes me smile every time seeing your interactions and reactions. So pure.
@@jessecao8596 wow, thank you so much! Can't wait for you to see our new video too🥹
Từ Hà nội, xin chào 2 bạn ,thật nguwowngxmooj và khâm phục 2 bạn, dãddeensđtsnước Việt nam chúng tôi, và khám phá nó bằng chiếc xe máy, Một việc ko có nhiều nguwowiflamf được , Chúc 2 bạn có chuyến đi đến Việt nam thật vui vẻ, bình an ,
Thank you😆
Awesome!! you guys just started. Look forward to more videos
There’s more to come! Thank you🤩
Hi, I'm in a complete shock to see the dam DakNong in central Highand. Such a view in such unexpected moment! Thank you to show us a VN I never saw, never imagined it can be that beautiful
Awesome, awesome, awesome !! Love it. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Don't worry guys, it's not a staring-down look, just out of curiosity, no judging at all since most of them don't see foreigners that often in their lifetime. The locals are among the nicest people, they over-welcomed everybody visiting their town. I hope you guys will get used to it soon and have a great trip in Vietnam. Great video as always
I think we were just so overwhelmed with how nice some people can be🥹 Thanks for watching!
So many Lakes! I've never heard or seen them before. Makes me wants to buy one and built a shack on it. Thank you for your share
Yes that would be so awesome!
Vietnamese people are very curiously, when they started at you ,for local,it's doesn't mean rude, because it's normal for them,but as soon as you say hello or smile to them,they'll do it right back at you,try it ..!😄😄❤️
Yes that’s what we learnt, they are so friendly. Different to the western culture!
Thank you both for showing us the countryside of Việt Nam 🇻🇳. Appreciated. Safe travels
Thank you for watching!
hahaa Im dead at the moment the local people were so excited when they met foreigners. It made me remember my childhood. You know, in the countryside, it's not often to see foreigners, so that makes it special. The first time that I have met a foreigner is like something to be proud of and I always appreciate that memory.
Aw haha that’s so sweet, it’s always a special moment feeling like royalty for a second and being welcomed by such friendly people!
Fantastic episode. Your voice-over is like the midnight rain, just soothing and comforting.
Thank you!😁
I was so excited to watch tonight's episode and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing 😀. We're heading to Vietnam on Friday, we're soooo excited 😊. Keep on keeping on, stay safe and enjoy every moment, until next episode xxxx
Wecome to Vietnam ❤
Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a lovely time in Vietnam🥰
11:31 I almost did made the same mistake when tried to reach Ta Dung viewpoint. Glad u found it. Unlucky the weather was not that great that day for you. Great episode! looking forward for the next one! Ride safe, be safe!
Thank you, the viewpoint is😍 Thanks for watching!
I know you guys like introvert as me. That's why I feel really fun and comfort looking you guys talk. ❤
Thank you🥰
Sweet!!!👌👌
You guys are so lovely, hope your trip safe and enjoy
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow It's so lovely ❤
Excellent content. Looking forward to seeing the next one! 👌
Thank you!🤘
Thankyou so much for doing this vlog, I cannot wait to get to Vietnam....
The Lorry running over the earbud made me actually laugh out loud.
Thank you! We hope you have an awesome time in Vietnam, it really was a memorable trip for us😅😍
Thank you so much for sharing
Awesome Vietnam videos 👍👍
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Great video, I was smiling all the way through as well, would love to do the sort of trip you've done.. well done !!
Now you have an idea of what it was like in Thailand 30yrs ago,great videos really enjoying them thankyou
I noticed that the videos in your channel about Vietnam tourism have more views than other videos, which is quite fun for you.
That's true! We’re very happy everyone likes following our Vietnam adventures!
Another great instalment on your adventures...hangin for #3 already 🙏😊🙏
Thank you!🤪
open minded, mindful, caring and off grid spirit. Travelers like you are what we need in SE Asia. With all due respect and best wishes.
Wow, thank you
You guys are brave. Big fan .
❤ so much authenticity
thank you!
Hey guys, loving this adventurous holiday. What time of the year did you visit?
Thank you! We visited in January-February of this year☺
Watched you from near the start of your you tube adventures, your channel is like a" breath of fresh air" thanks for sharing, looking forward to the rest of your trip
Thank you so much for your support❤️

Thanks for watching!
Top vlog guys, great documentary, filming and editing 🙂
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it🤪
Bloody brilliant hello from Western Australia
Love the way you make videos
Glad you like them!
Great video guys 😊
Thank you 🤗
Keep up the good vids :)
Thanks, will do!
This is Nice country. Nice People.
Enjoyed watching. Thanks for visiting our country. Have a great adventure here in Vietnam and stay safe on the road!
Thanks! 😃
I have no doubt that after trip you will get lots of happy experience and turning points in your mind due to those Vietnamese warmly smiles and the fact that remote villagers can communicate a little bit in English.
Don't know whether during the trip you could find out the differences between Southern, Central and Northern Vietnamese in their behaviours.
Waiting for Ep 3.
The trip was very eye opening and a very beautiful experience. We can’t wait to share more this Sunday 🇻🇳
Love a good homestay, the best type of accomodation, giving you insights into real life in a country. Amazed you're introverts, you come across quite extrovert and so confident in front of camera.
Loving this new video series guys! Can't wait to see more of your Vietnam travels
Thanks guys! Glad you like them☺️
Please keep the series going!!! Love the editing and narratives!
Thanks! Will do! Got lots more to come😜
Thank you for sharing guys ,ive been waiting for this video for 2 weeks :))
Thank you so much for watching & supporting our channel☺️
Glad to see you post a new video. Honestly yesterday I was hoping you guys were ok, I know Vietnamese roads can get pretty crazy! Happy Travels
Ah we're all good, thank you. Thanks for watching this episode!
Loved this as always, you’re both smashing it 🥰🫶🏼
thank you!🥰
Awesome adventures, loving this series guys, can't wait for the next episode x
Thank you!🥰
Good luck guys.
Thank you!
Google Translate can now translate text in images through your phone's camera. Just point at the menu.
Thanks for the tip! We didn’t have google translate downloaded at the time but will use it moving forward
Watching your video's makes me really miss every second of my SEA scooter travels. I've been to a lot of the places you two have gone, and seeing it all again with the locals and the roads...I miss everything about my time there. 4.5 months across three countries.
It really is such a beautiful country isn't it? We're so fortunate that we were able to experience as much as we did in the time we were there.
Of all the vloggers hitting Vietnam lately, you guys are my favorite! Awesome choice to go a different route than most and to just go with the flow and see where it takes you. That lake you guys found with all the islands was beautiful! They definitely need to build that up for tourists.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much😃
You two are actually inspiring me to Vlog Vietnam :) good work
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
I live in HCM city, noticed you picked up that the kids here are better on average than the adults, at speaking English. Very nice vids. 😎
I think you are right to be conservative about recording. Use your judgement.
Thank you.
Thank you!
you two are genuinely happy to be in Vietnam which is cool man 🔥🙏
We are! Thanks for watching!😃
Absolutely insane traffic, mitch a legend driving that wowzers thats a cack ya kecks drive, loving the madness your living in that ride.
That above comment was supposed to be on part 1 lol
I’m really enjoying watching y’all video. Thanks 4 sharing. 👍🤪✌️
Our pleasure!
Oh my god, you guys are so brave to travel from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike. I mean, sitting on motorbike for like one or two hours already make my butt feel dizzy. But hopefully you guys can come to Hanoi safely. Also, be careful sometimes ha, not everyone is friendly. Vietnamese people really impressed by foreign people, they definitely curious about you guys cause we rarely see the foreign people from West side. We are stunned by the height, the body shape, the blonde hair, etc... Love your videos, wish you guys can have a great trip in Vietnam.
amazing video
Thanks!
Very happy to see you guys are still okay. Have fun and have a good trip.
Thank you😃
Great video guys I'm loving your Vietnam travels , I'm catching up slowly lol hope u guys are OK
Thank you Gareth😁
Great stuff...subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
I love how open and vulnerable you guys are. I can absolutely relate to bring an introvert and automatically assuming people have the worse intentions.
That's why I'm terrified of ever doing a solo trip, but I am being comforted by you two and your adventure.
Being from India, people do stare a bit here haha. Maybe it's time I started waving at them 😁
Thank you! I'm glad our videos help, Vietnam was a trip that put us out of our comfort zone and was the best trip we've ever done, so I hope that inspires you to just do it! I'm sure you won't regret it!
I'm from Malaysia.... Watching you guys makes my jaw hurts too... 😂 But glad to see you enjoyed SE Asia. Have fun & all the best to both of you.
Thank you!! 😁
2:57 just remind you finger crossed has difference meaning in Vietnam... 🙄similar to middle finger sign 🤣🤣🤣
Woops, I didn't know that🤣
2nd episode. Just stumble upon you guys today. I love the raw and serendipitous approach of your adventure. Enjoy!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Chào mừng bạn đến với Việt Nam 👍
Thank you🥰
Hope to see you soon in Nepal someday 🇳🇵
That would be awesome!
I've circled the Vietnam also and can feel your upcoming pain already. Bike you choose has too hard seat and position too frontheavy. I did my 3 months trip with my wife on Suzuki 110 GD. That I can honestly recommend for anyone with it's soft seat and straight driving position.
ดีแน่นอน
Good editing!
Go pro?
Thank you! Yes a Go Pro Hero 9 😁
Vietnamese are very welcoming and socialized to the point gossiping lol
The Vietnamese are lovely people
I admire you guys for doing this road trip without knowing much of the language. I dont know if i can do that in a foreign country. Too scary for my liking. Hopefully you guys have/had a great time in my motherland
Thanks so much for watching!
Love your episodes so far, its awesome and inspiring to see what an adventure it must have been, to go off the beaten track. I am planning something similar to your adventure next year with a couple of mates, could you tell me how much it cost to rent the bike for the trip? Thanks and well done again
Amazing & it all depends on the bike and the amount of time you’ll be renting it for. Best thing is to go onto style motorbikes website and you can choose your bike and it will tell you a price!
like watching a movie
thank you!
great adventure!! what action cam and drone did you use?
thank you! we have all of our gear listed here if you want to check it out: www.jammy-gits.com/tech/
du bist so schön 😍😍😍 wenn ich noch in Vietnam leben würde, dann glaube ich du bist ein Engel kommt vom Himmel 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you☺️
My Vietnamese very friendly
Hey, amazing vid! just a question, if you could go back, would you have chosen more of an off road bike? or was the one you had good enough for your journey overall?
Also, in the more remote areas, how did you go about finding/booking places to stay? Thanks!
So sorry. but can you tell me the map name you use in 1:18 - Route mapping. and thanks for sharing
New subscriber, loving the videos! 😊
Awesome, thanks for subbing!🤘
🥰🥰🥰
U guys should have cheap rain coats, could buy it almost anywhere. will help you out on ur trip.
We do get some in the end☺️
Did that VC lady flip the bird @ 27:12 ? When she got her picture taken ??
rural road in vietnam just like rural road in t*hailand when i was 20 year olds (1978)
Thanks for being mindful of other people when filming. I’ve seen some videos where TH-camrs shove their cameras in people’s faces while they are trying to make a living. Cringe 😬
In regards to all the attention you’ve been getting in these rural areas, you might be the first foreigners they’ve seen in years because of the pandemic. They’re probably happy to see new faces again 😃
No problem, we’re always aware of how be are in front of people. Yes that’s very true, I forgot about covid!
Just wondering, who was your cellular provider during the trip?
I was able to use 12GB with my provider from home. A lot of people get a sim card from Viettel though its really easy to do. 👍
People recommend getting a sim card at the airport or in the city (cheaper). I think Viettel is what they all use and you'll get signals throughout Vietnam.
♡
What time was it that they normally eat dinner?? A good tip for fresher food!
It think it was around 5-5:30pm!
Also, what was the month you were traveling? I’m heading in November and was thinking it might be too cold to do it by motorbike…
Would be awesome to do this ride. Unfortunately there is no way for Australians to do it legally without a residency permit and local license.... :( absolutely spewing Vietnam does not recognise our IDP.
