sounds good, will consider ... thanks!
am considering motorcycle tour to dalat as well ... got lobang? :D

Whats a motorcycle tour? Actually travelling on the road not much to see. You might as well get to Dalat fast and spend more time there. The outdoor scenery at Dalat is beautiful.

If u manage to buy cheap tickets from HCMC to Danang/Hoi An. Its also a good combi. Hoi An is beautiful. Can stay 1-2 nights. Danang is huge city. Hard to move around unless u rent a motorbike. Most people rent a resort that facing the sea. Danang was voted Top 10 beaches in the world in one particular year.

If you dont mind taking sleeper bus, and really short of time do

HCMC - DALAT - NHA TRANG - HCMC

Skip Muine. Nth much there except sand dunes i think.
Nha Trang also beautiful with beach and city 2 in 1. Many russian babes suntanning at the beach also.

basically they motorcycle, guide,accommodation. you just ride along with them ...

agree road not much see (much like malaysia NS highway) but once you hit the highlands around dalat ... things starts to turn pretty scenic

also motorcycle travel kinda reminiscing my younger days where i did quite a bit of motorcycle traveling around malaysia

thanks!

prefer to do Hoi An on separate trip (if I can't make it) and certainly will not staying just 1~2 nights

agree on Mui Ne after i did some online researching. but may be interesting for kite surfing aficionados

Have you tried mud spa in Danang?
Do I need IDP to rent motobike?

Hoi An don't really have much to do though. It's quite touristy, my friend from there told me it's literally a place developed for tourists.

Dont listen to your friend la. As a singaporean who stays in singapore for so many years, you will also tell your overseas friend Singapore is boring. Dont come here. Correct boh?

Go and see for yourself instead of hearing friend say this and that.

Vietnam air maybe better. Will verify again in 2 weeks time

proven again. The more civilized viet will take Vietnam air. Lol. No wet market noise, quiet and orderly. Like the cabin and crew uniform, the ambience is clear and bright.

Flying time to dalat was confirmed within 50mins, that include all plane taxi and queueing. 15mins after take off, captain announced start to decend! 10mins later prepare for landing lol.

hope I did not mislead by saying "flight was confirmed..." lol
should be flying time.

I booked in early December. Was supposed to be a 4pm flight.
Very soon start receiving updates it will be reschedule to 8pm
no change back to afternoon till 2 weeks before the date so I decided to change it to a early morning flight, and have to be at HCM the day before instead of reaching on the same day by noon. wasted time and $$.
