are you in Danang? I just arrived here to meet my Vietnamese girlfriend(soon to be wife). I am also covering Vietnam. Let me know about your thought ❤ Anyways I subscribed you.

Where did you find the cheap Apartment sister? Thank you very much for the Video! Liked it you are a lovely person
Did you use Airbnb? Or do you recommend other ways to find cheap apartments?
@@hsinglu so far airbnb works best if you’re looking for longterm (monthly or so)
I went to Da Nang in November and absolutely loved it!! Such a great pace of life and beautiful
I’ve been to Da Nang 3 times and love it. It’s so nice and laid back. The beach is beautiful too. I will be coming back soon.❤️
People talk about retiring in Vietnam but there no long term retirement visa. Either you marry a Vietnamese and get TRD, citizenship, or do 6 month visits. Da nang weather can get very hot. If you are not in the best of health, finding urgent care from experienced specialist and access to western meds could be a challenge. .
Just in case I bring my own doctor.
I loved Da Nang. It rained the whole time and was still amazing.
Yeah it’s definitely one of the best destinations in South East Asia
I was there over one year ago in November 2022. It also rained or drizzled about 45% of the time - I was there for almost 4 days.
Thank you for the great video!
Thanks for the great information 😀
Thank you for your time and posting. I'll be checking out VN in September to see if I want to retire there.
Loved your Vlog
Currently, in the USA, the cost of renting a master bedroom for sharing purposes typically ranges from $1200 to $1500 per month.
very informative and lovely video 🎉🎉😊😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Useful info.
Da Nang looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Yeah its nice especially during this time of the year
Really helpful! Thank you. 🙂
My pleasure!
Thank you for the video. I am looking at visiting Da Nang for three months next year.
Hope you’ll enjoy it! It definitely has a lot to offer
My finances would be set if I moved to Vietnam, but I don't want to leave Canada. The cost of living here is out of control and I would be very comfortable financially if I moved here.
Don’t even think about it.im a londoner,going Danang soon as my cancer ok is done.wouldnt look back for a second
I live in Canada too. I am also looking at Vietnam and Thailand because Canada is getting too expensive. For the cost of rent here, I can cover all my expenses there. Plus, no winter. The only question for me is where.
Visa only 90 days
@MrBenfaust can you do visa runs over and over?
Leave, expecting adventure. We lived in Asia for 24 years, moved to Canada for almost 2 years and packed up, put my life in storage and left 6 months after getting my PR - nasty economy, terrible weather and no cultural sense of celebration. Sitting on the balcony of my condo with a full seaview in Thailand at less than a quarter of my rent in Ontario. You can get a retirement visa if you can show Baht 800000 (about C$30 000) in you account in Thailand. You can hire someone (affordable) to help you the first time. Enjoy the journey.🎉
Nice video 🙂
Thanks for the continuous support 🤍
NEVER buy a sim card at the airport. A lot of times they only work for a day or two. Plenty of opportunities to get them elsewhere.
incorrect. i bought one last year for VND149k (vinaphone) - what else are you going to do if you need to book a Grab to your hotel...?
Average cost of living in the U.S. with a small house in the country is now about $5,500 USD per month
Doesn't sound right
Thanks for sharing Dian. What do you use to record your videos?
My pleasure, i use canong7x mark 2
Very lovely video. Thank you for the breakdown. Dian, would you know what are my possibilities to rent a place for short time(3 months for example) in Vietnam. A serviced apartment/studio, anything on the budget of 250$/month. Or Vietnamese people only do 1 year contracts? If you know about this, please share. Thank you
Thanks! I was staying for a month and booked the accommodation from airbnb. I found that they have a lot of options there and the price is quite affordable
Thank you
Would love to go to da nang or nha trang but heard public bus transportation is severly lacking to get around cheaply.
You can use an app called Grab easily here. They have bike and car and its really convenient and affordable
Health care costs? What about health care insurance? Quality of health care? How many people speak/understand English now? What visa options are there? What options for people who want to retire there? Are there any senior living / nursing homes, and if so, what are their costs & quality (my parents will need this option eventually).
Spent 6 weeks there over 2 trips, most people have a good understanding of English, certainly in Da Nang, Hue, Hoi An and Hanoi, anywhere touristy. Friendliest nation on earth and they would be queueing to help you if you had a language problem whilst out.
Had to stay in a Hanoi hospital for 2 days and a night, after kidneys started bleeding/peeing blood clots.
3 scans, several drips, food, medication, overnight stay and a constant stream of Drs willing to practice their English on me and explain everything that was happening cost a grand sum of ...£85 I had travel insurance obviously so sorry dont know what it costs to get medical cover but I would guess pretty cheap
Quick google search found this from 2021
In Vietnam, private nursing homes provide services at relatively high costs, averaging about 15 million VND (663 USD) for a single room and 19 million VND for a double room per month.
Just curious, usually people compare prices to their home currency. Are you comparing to Chinese yuan prices ? Is it cheaper compared to China ?
Hello, I want to move to Vietnam but Im worried about the food and water after the US sprayed Agent Orange. Is it safe?
Are there many books available like here in America in english
Hi, love the video! Would you kindly share the name of the gym? 😊
Thank you! Its called pig gym
When is the best time to go to Ba Na Hills. I went when it was misty too. I lived in Saigon 3 years from 2018 to 2021.
I really like Nha Trang. But a friend just told me Da Nang was cheaper
Looks like a nice lifestyle.
🤝🤝
I tHINK YOU'RE EXPRESSING ABOUT THE REGULAR COLA,OF ONE WHO DOÉN'T PAY MUCH FOR ENTERTAINMENT SUCH AS DRINK, AND TOURS!
If only i could find a job that would support moving out of the country like that. That would definitely make things easier.
There are so many company and website that allow you to do that. You can check out my other videos where I talked about that
I like you.
I may retire soon in Vietnam on the beach.
2:39 are cars common there or harder to drive because of traffic?
Its pretty common but like other places in south east asia, people mostly use bike to go around
650 dollars a month is out of this world. ❤
Great information am arriving in Da Nang on the 7 February. Can you recommend an apartment for 400AUD Where are u staying as it’s sound really affordable and nice.
I would recommend checking on airbnb and the location that i was staying in was My Khe Beach :) and the gym is 5mins away from the apartment
I am interested in becoming a digital nomad and have many skills but not confident in getting started. If you are staying in Da Nang in February can I catch up with you. I can buy you coffee and a Vietnamese coffee.
@@eileenstill Hi Eileen, unfortunately I’m no longer in Danang. But if you’re interested you can book a call with me through my instagram :)
What do you do for health insurance when you travel?
I use SafetyWing for insurance, you can check out the link on the description box☺️
How safe is it to ride a bicycle in da nang? Will they knock u off the road? How are the sidewalks?
I would say that walking is safer than riding bicycle. Not because someone will knock you off but the traffic is so hectic
Is this a gym in your hotel apartments
Enjoy your stay in Da Nang. Love this city
does any american get a visa and/or permission for long term living?
Hi is this for a single person or not much different for 2 people?
Thats the cost for one person, but it shouldn’t be a big difference for 2 people if you only share the accommodation
Airport SIM cards are usually a ripoff.
How do you go from Danang city to BA Na Hills & how much?
We drove there. But you can easily book a Grab or something. Its not too far
When are the best months to live there for 3 months?
March-may
hi can you rent for 1 month also did you use any agent? thank you.
I rented for a month using airbnb :)
thank you,is it easy to get a girlfriend in da nang? thank you.@@DianHuang
can i bring my metro pcs unlocked phone then buy sim card will it work??
Unlocked phone is what you need.
Ok thanks
How is the crime, how foreigners are treated by locals and government? How is medical care for private insurance?
I haven't been there myself but I have done a lot of reading/watching etc and by all accounts its a very safe city and crime is low. The only real problem they seem to have is petty theft but many foreigners have lived there for 10+ years and never experienced a single crime incident. I don't know where you are from but its multitudes safer than the UK or USA......
Thank you so much for showing us the beautiful city of Da Nang.
Everyone always gets so sensitive when doing these cost of living as if we judge them. No one is honest.
If you come here you will definatly need to set aside $1000 usd. The entertainment 100% will cost you more. It doesnt mean parting but all the places to go.
Your not just going to sit in your apartment or lounge on the beach everyday.
Trust me theres soooo many more sneaky suprises. Dont forget the visa costs and travelling in and out of the country. Even the cheapest option is 1.5-2million,dong which is probably $80-$100 usd.
You need to write the costs as you go but the youtubers will just do a summary and make it look comparable to the other youtube but 100000% they are spending more. Honestly i cant see anyone even in a cheaper apartment in me khe doing it for less $1000 usd.
Perhaps near my gf family home on the other side near Hai Van pass theres some super local spot but it may make you feel uncomfortable and then your costs add up in other way especially if you are green to the country
I completely agree. Dian did a lovely video, but it's missing so many budget elements - how about clothing - if you fly in with just a suitcase, you will have forgotten or need some extra boots or shirts; how about you get a sprain ankle and you need medicines; or visas costs, or - if you are truly living there for a month you will be super board just walking alone doing nothing. I invited some locals to my hotel pool - $12 for drinks for both of us, or I offered to pay for pizza for 3 of us as we watched the dragon fire and water show because I was the one asking the locals, who are very poor, to come join me at this pizza place with a view so that was $20. Those things and many more all add up to more than $600. But no matter that, I will agree Vietnam was cheaper than Thailand or Philippines (or certainly any western country).
No visa fees (?) -- no health insurance or medical in the budget (?) -- no visa run expenses reflected in the one month budget needed in an ongoing situation (?) --- but it does give some idea of what a base line expense would be. --- Meaning -- a person could likely fit the extra expenses for all that 'extra' in the $1000/mo. budget - or less ! - - - Thank you for the very good explanation and the costs for doing some actual real world living there and what it might be like. 🙏
Could you name the gym ?
Pig gym
Isn’t Danang kind of boring? Also the water isn’t very nice. Not sure the fascination with it.
It has a lot of activities to do including sunworld and next to the beach so I don’t think its boring at all. The key is to go when the weather is good
Airbnb must see me and my pound sterling coming as i don't see those $300 PER MONTH condos.
Try using incognito or VPN. Hope it helps :)
What is incognito and VPN please😊
@@DianHuang I think he/she is being sarcastic in that they are unable to find anything under $300 for rent.
@@eileenstill incognito is just another version of Chrome which doesn't cache as you browse the Internet. Meaning the minute you close your incognito windows, it doesn't remember password and browsing history. VPN is virtual private network which make browsing more secure. But it is more used when the country you are in block certain traffic, so people use VPN as if they are in another country. If you don't understand, then there is nothing to worry. It is not that important.
I would live very well there on $50 per day Cash out a house, car and motorbike.
Lanterns ❤
The city of Hue is the cheapest place to live not Da Nang
Do many people speak English? I do not speak Vietnamese
No but mostly they understand basic english. There’s also a lot of expats these days in Vietnam
Nice but Video number 15657 on exactly the same content.
How can I find a Vietnamese wife and bring her to UK? hehe
Let's get married...
The only thing that’s not cheaper than cali is the gym with cali having planet fitness for 10
I am a semi retired software guy in San Diego, the cheapest is pickleball $20/month for 3 days per week from 7 am to 10 am. The rest you can practice with the wall by yourself and it is free, and the beach is free also. I donot like in door fitness ecause not enough fresh air.
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT?
why do you want to know that?
One thing is i wish Americans would start saying HOI AN and stop saying Hoi AHN.
Danang is not cheap anymore, but still beautiful
This is good to know; however, you may not realize this as a millennial, but the more you brag about the cost of living in Da Nang, which is the right way to spell it, the more ex-pats will flock to Da Nang. This will cause rents and properties to go up, and the overall price of goods and services will increase due to supply and demand economics. This happened in Thailand. Now, look at what is happening there. The next thing you know, the Russians who are fleeing Russia because of Ukraine are going to invade Vietnam as they have in Phuket and now have destroyed the environment due to their lackadaisical demeanor and are trashing what once was a paradise.
dian marry me
Not cheaper than Thailand. These "I'm Vietnamese" budget videos are useless. Foreigners have ZERO chance to live anywhere in Vietnam for less than $2,000/month. Backpacking, sure one can skimp and live for a few hundred, but no chance to do it for more than 1-2 days. I don't know anyone who has rented a bike without getting conned for a few hundred extra dollars from renting a bike for "$50". Two-tiered pricing also gets old really fast and without strong Vietnamese language skills or a local wife, you will pay 2X-10X what a local will pay. Why these videos are useless.
I lived in Danang for 7 months and in Vietnam for 2 years, just buy a bike for $1000 or less. I lived on $700 per month easily. If you’re spending $2000, that’s on you. I never had a problem with anything you mentioned. If the price wasn’t right, I just go to another vendor.
@JohnDoe-vc7bw do they price gouge foreigners that bad? On what visa are you living there?
@@JohnDoe-vc7bw So you couldn't stay in Vietnam for more than a few years on that budget? This is the point. Nobody survives on a budget less than $24,000 USD per year in Vietnam, nobody.
@@Anomaly66666 Tourists and work Visa at different times. Work Visas got extremely expensive for employers after COVID. The most serious gouging is anytime a foreign person signs a contract, apartment/motorbike/employment, there is no way to enforce the contract. As soon as a foreign person signs a lease with a Vietnamese, the owner will advertise the same place for 50% higher, if they find a renter for more money, you will be kicked out. Look for the thousands of "I'm owed months of salary" stories in Vietnam. Driving a motorbike will cost you an extra $20 in fines a month, if you are lucky. These costs often only reveal themselves over the long run and why all the videos are "I can live in Vietnam for a few months for $1,000" and not "I've been living in Vietnam for 5 years, this is how much it really costs" which are not as popular.
🥰
Vietnam could be more enjoyable if the people didn’t throw garbage everywhere. And of course, food vendors with hygiene.
I do agree 😢
Thank you
