My suggestion for hotel
You can look at Citadines Ha long to spend 1 night there.

For your travel back to Hanoi

https://m.vietnamlocalbus.com/bus-to-halong-bay

There are buses going from ha long to Hanoi every 1-2 hours

Around 220K vnd per person

You can ask the hotel reception to help you.

Tourism linked cities like:
Hanoi-Hai Phong-Ha long
Hue- Danang-Hoi An

It's Very easy to arrange transportation between these cities

Thanks a lot, i will use that hotel as a reference on the area that i should be staying in. And from there, research on bus to Hanoi and its location.

Just to confirm, the hotel u recommend is LA CITADINE HA LONG 36 HOTEL? I saw they have another hotel launching in 2020 Q4 though.

2D1N halong bay or day tour?

The overnight at HLB means have to check out and then check in of hotel at Hanoi, dragging luggage along.
How do you all arrange?
Is there beautiful scenery at night or is it just pitch dark around and so early sleep on boat?

Price difference quite a lot between day tour ($47 from Klook) & 2D1N ($180). Is it worth it?

Yeap that citadine hotel is still building actually... You can use that as a reference. Cuz that area has alot of hotels because it's along the main road going in and out of Ha Long

Does anybody here have any feedback on what Nha Trang is like?

From what i understand, it is a coastal seaside city in the southern part of Vietnam.

Anyone here has any feedback?

I checked the flight scheduling and there is no direct flight in between Singapore and Nha Trang.

Will have to take a Jetstar Asia from Changi to HCM international airport. From there switch to Jetstar Pacific (Viet-owned budget airline) and travel to Nha Trang.

Look out for motor bikes when you cross the road. walk boldly. And don't show your wealth don't use phone at road side.

Yes. Quite safe. Just have the address ready.
Actually you don't need to take song Viet. You can book a grab at the airport. Cheaper.
I just arrived. The immigration is chaotic. First time see so huge crowd.

If want to take Grab from the airport. Can we take directly after exiting the arrival hall or need to go outside of the airport?

 

[dylodocus]

Your tummy is good for street food? then you like it!

If want to take Grab from the airport. Can we take directly after exiting the arrival hall or need to go outside of the airport?

You can take directly outside the arrival hall. Just make it clear to the driver which pillar you're at as a landmark. And pay 10k more to the driver as the airport entry fees. It's a norm. 10k is about 60 cents.

i need to take a bus to tra vinh. is it better to buy over the counter at mien tay bus station or use easybook? i don't know vietnamese language.

Make sure it's a 5 star driver. Otherwise, spend a little more and book Grabplus
