Vietnam

of coz typical lah, itinerary for typical tourist mah. go private tour if you have specific needs lor especially when u short of time.

it may cost more but i feel it's more worthwhile. money can earn back, time will never return back.

Yeah, and also to hike up the hang mua peak. So far from typical itinerary seems quite standard.

com tam is classic breakfast food

com tam ba ghien - near airport, is very good

quite overpriced for local standards because its so famous and attracts many tourists (around 90k vnd with the works and a drink) but still very reasonable i feel

if you got time to kill after that can grab to superbowl and lim kopi, then take a 15min walk back to terminal

5 hours layover.... Hmmmmm waiting for flight at domestic?

You can walk over to the shopping mall next to the airport
Parkson
Plenty of options there and there's a cinema as well.

Sometimes I will eat at the Bun Dau stall next to the mall.

I have taken the sleeper bus from Sapa back to Hanoi, and feel uncomfortable because you can not lie flat nor sit upright.

Taken sleeper bus to dalat a few times already.

I'm still alive thankfully.

Usually I will reach da lat around 4am. If you are going with your vb... Just let her handle everything.
These bus companies provide complimentary van pickup and drop off service at the place you stay.

yeah with my vb but it's also her first time to dalat haha.

nice to know that they have complimentary van pickup/dropoff to the place i stay.. anyway i just choose hotel near dalat night market. heard from vb friend that it's better to stay near there. i would have preferred somewhere quieter like farmstay though.

paiseh … i don't mean sure happen lah but risks are there. i saw interior of those sleeper bus, quite cramp & low ceiling, so don't feel comfortable sleeping in such bus. anyway, up to you but i would choose daytime bus, flight or even private van … more comfortable mah

I took a sleeper bus to Dalat 2 years ago, from hcm. About 6 hours journey. Not too bad. I slept well in the bus. Only problem is that because of cold weather, i need to pass urine frequently.

If you or your vb can ride xe may, then rent a bike from the homestay or hotel.
Many beautiful places in da lat are very far away
