Are you coming to Hanoi, Vietnam? We have been there twice now, spending 4 days each visit. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments below, we would love to hear from you!
Hi, where do you apply for the visa?
Hi Refugio, here is the website we used to apply for the e-visa. I would double check that what ever country you are from has the e-visa option as well. We were able to from Canada.

@@midlifetravelbug thank 😊 you so much ...
I enjoyed every bit of the video. Especially the "to dos" before you leave and pricing of hotels. Happy adventures.
Thanks Joey ❤️ We appreciate your support :)
Excellent, well done! Makes me want to go to Vietnam! You are both great people! Very Informative.
Thanks Dave! It's an incredible country :) Appreciate your support!
Thank you guys, very informative and useful. Safe travels!
Thank you so much! We are hoping to be back there this fall and should have some more adventures to share on this amazing country 🫶Cheers Chris and Jim 🥂
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Lyon! We appreciate the support as we are figuring this stuff out :)
Brilliant video! I have a plan to go to Vietnam later. I love that your videos are very informative. Thanks Jim & Christine.
Thanks Maruf! You will love Vietnam :) It's a beautiful country!
So informative!!
Thanks for your support guys 🙏
Hi guys! Fantastic video - lots of valuable info 🙏🏻 We’re headed to Vietnam for our first time December this year. Can’t wait!
That’s so exciting! You will love it! Such an amazing place I am sure we will be back again before long! Cheers Chris and Jim💕
Welcome to Vietnam🎉
Thank you 🙏 we appreciate you watching 💕
I love you Video
Thank you so much ❤️🙏
going this evening from Brisbane.
Enjoy your trip Ian!
Very informative video for a short run time! What type of clothing do you suggest for the weather? Do you have any suggestions? Could you give us a 2022 update of food, housing and utility expenses?
Thanks Jeremiah, we appreciate the support! We were in Hanoi at the start of November and it was shorts weather the whole time. The weather was very pleasant and not too humid during the days. Expect some overcast days with short bursts of rain occasionally.
We stayed in the Old Quarter and there were plenty of options in the $20 - $30 per night range (this was our budget). However, you can go higher and get some very nice places. Our hotels were pretty basic with queen sized beds and a bathroom, but they were also very clean. Almost every place will have air conditioning. Utilities were covered in our stays.
Restaurants vary in pricing (we used Google reviews for a lot of them), but we were spending under $30 per day for the two of us. We generally looked for the busy places with locals and tried the food there. We were not disappointed.
I hope you have an amazing visit to Hanoi. It's a beautiful and busy place...we loved it and I'm sure you will too!
Cheers :)
Being a senior citizen I have to worry about finding a public bathroom when necessary. Can you comment on that? Nice video, thank you.
Hi Massimo, thanks for watching and your support. We really appreciate it!
As a bladder challenged guy myself, I always look around for some easy access bathrooms. I recommend carrying some pocket change with you as you will need some to get into some of the public bathrooms. I didn't really have any troubles finding a toilet and when in a panic, I usually walked into a restaurant and went straight to the WC signs. There are WC's (toilets/bathrooms) at all of the tourist spots as well. I also recommend carrying toilet paper, but that's my own personal preference...however it always comes in handy. Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Jim
@@midlifetravelbug Thank you. Yes carrying some sort of wiping implement really gives you peace of mind, however it also gets you a few suspicious looks whe you go thru security in airports😁thanks again.
Hello, will be there on November 30. May I ask the weather in Hanoi now? 😊
Hi Jane, we actually are in rainy Bali at the moment, but you can expect pretty comfortable days. Mainly overcast this time of year and periods of short showers. We found it very comfortable and most places will have air conditioning as well. Enjoy your trip, I'm sure you will love the city (with some chaos of course).
@@midlifetravelbug ohh I see.. Thank you for responding quickly and providing that info. Appreciated much. 😊 Enjoy traveling!🤗
Did you have to show a travel insurance while entering Vietnam?
No we did not. They just asked for our visa papers at immigration and our vaccination papers prior to boarding our flight to Vietnam. Thanks for watching 🙏.
What did you use for phone? ESim?
Hi Dana, we bought the sim card at the airport from Viettel and it worked great for us!
It was under $20 cad.
Thanks for watching,
Chris and Jim 😀
I've used eSIM (Airalo) on my Pixel 6 on all Asia trips for the last six months. I get regional coverage and it works like a charm!
Welcome to Ha Noi. Are you going to Saigon ?
We have been to Saigon 3 years ago prior to the pandemic and loved our visit there. I don't think we will make it on this adventure, but we are returning to Vietnam in March so we may go there. Amazing food in Saigon...the Pho was so memorable!
@@midlifetravelbug I only know to say "Thank you very much!" Vietnamese love you!
@@midlifetravelbug Hope to meet you in Saigon or Dalat on your next trip to VN in March 2023
We love Vietnam and the Vietnamese people ❤️
How is the weather in Feb first week?
You should have decent weather around 21 celsius... February gets about 3-5 days of rain. Have a good trip ☺️
@@midlifetravelbug oh ok so do we carry winter wear? Jackets ?
@@kaveriseth3229 I would prepare for cooler nights, however, in Hanoi you can buy North Face jackets for very cheap.....you can get anything there and it's very inexpensive so I would not overpack. 🙂
