Hi all, I would like to go for a trip to vietnam, free and easy, budget airlines.
I am thinking of joining a tour group when I am there. Dont wanna join the tour group here, feel that it is too rush. Recommended?

Any places to recommend? Going with a group of friends.

Which part of Vietnam are you heading to?

I'm thinking of going Vietnam for a short holiday (4-5days). Only been to hue before. Should I go HCMC or Hanoi? Personally I like natural sceneries. Not much a city and shopping person. Will be going with my fiancee.

My vote goes to Danang and stay at Intercontinental Danang!

Intercon expensive ... think at least 250sgd per nite for two wo breakfast
normally go to vietnam, would stay 3* hotel ... about 40+ sgd per nite
also have bath tub, just that not as grand as intercon

It's indeed not cheap but my family and I have voted our holiday in danang was the best!

Use grab there. Quite cheap.
30 mins? I don't feel it though i rode motor bike usually.
Pick pockets? Robbers? I've been to there almost 10 timesatt never encountered it. Not saying don't have, but just don't flaunt your wealth, don't use your phone by the roadside. Look, singapore also has crimes right? Don't attract crimes to come.
