Ahhh i’m going to Vietnam a few months so this was so helpful! Thank you!!

[WarinPartita]

Thanks for this informative video, guys 🎉❤🎉

Leaving in 5 days to spend a month in vietnam! Can't wait. Thanks for the great video.
In one of the most coffee diverse countries in the world, it is sacrilegious to go to a cafe that serves coffee in a plastic cup. Wink.
Don't use the tea bag! Just turn off the air conditioner.
Friendly reminder...Regardless of who's paying for it, just turn off the air conditioner for the 5, 8, 10 hours that you're gone. It'll take 5 minutes for the place to cool down when you get back.

Quite a useful tip for putting a tea bag inside to keep AC running while you're outside! Like your video and you get a new fan🥰

You guys are so lucky to be a 2 hours flight away from Vietnam. It would take at least 20 hours for me

[HONGJULIE]

we just posted our Ho Chi Minh vlog, we will definitely stay at the hotel you stayed at! Lol ours was a insta vs reality moment 🥲🥲🥲🥲

[anomad]

good vid... have taken good notes. Thanks

[ReccaIzman-hghi]

Nice vid! Would be visiting HCMC next month, well 2nd visit actually but didnt managed to visit some of the places that you went to. Now i definitely do!

I was recommended to stay at the same hotel and area, and that is how I found this video! This vlog is super resourceful and thank you very much for sharing. Can you share your thoughts on sleeping and A/C?

[kayak]

Very clean city. My advice to travellers: food, drinks, ride are cheap so make sure u have smaller bills. Typical banh mih would cost at least 20K and coffee about at least 15K.

a little bird told me it's your birthday. go shorty!

Great video, really helpful! We will be there in 6 weeks! Were you charged a fee to add your middle name to your ticket? I too have not added my middle name on one of our flights!

[chadhansen]

Does your wife have a sister? 😂 best travel energy

[anomad]

11:25 don't keep the AC running while you're out for hours... that's just so lame.

What was the name of this hotel and how much for double room

[antoniomorais]

Hello guys,
Great video !
Is it easy to take a Grab from HCMC airport to District 1 ?
What was the price ?
What about the cost for a Taxi ?
Thank you so much

[JD-kfki]

Aren't you guys from Singapore? I can't hear a Singlish accent though.

[HungPham-hope]

How much did you pay for the taxi to get there ? Thx

[pdpannirselvam]

Was Ho Chi Minh same to travel? What's ur take?

[icebibii]

Oh, if you see Phuc Long - all you go to order is tea. Their tea is the next level and will hit you up.
If you want to try coffee, go to Highland, Trung Nguyen, …

For us, Vietnamese dont go to Phuc Long for coffee 😅
