U must know where to take the grab at the Noi Bai airport.
Quite chaos when u arrive there.
Specially if you r first timer.

So I took their taxi to old quarters.
Back to airport then take Grab.

I can’t remember the cost.
Somewhere $350k to 400k for taxi.
Which translate to $20 - $25 sgd for 40 -45 mins ride. Depending the time u arrive. I reached during the peak hours. Jam damn Sianz.

If travel from Danang to Hue by car or bus, should stop over at this : Hai Van Pass

If you travel from Danang to Hue, I recommend you take the train, impressive view

Any good place to change VND in Da Namg or Hoi An?

No issue. The stopping area has a shop setup there, can have drinks and parked there. I actually took train from Hue back to Danang.

Never. Only go halong bay.
The view is fantastic. No regrets the 4 hrs minibus ride. (To & fro)

Hi Bros

I am thinking of going Da nang -Hoi an- HCM.
I am going as a solo traveler, can I check the below:
- Is it too rush?
- Seeking for advice if the below itinerary is ok?

Details:
Day 1 ( 28th Dec) - SG -Da nang, immediately go Hoi an ( over night)
Day 2 (29th Dec) - Hoi an - Da nang (explore Marble mountains)
Day 3 (30th Dec) - Da nang - Ba na hills
Day 4 ( 31st Dec) – Da nang - HCM ( visit friends) - 10am flt departure from Da nang
Day 5 (1st Jan) - HCM ( visit friends)
Day 6 ( 2nd Jan) – HCM-SG

Danang and Hoi an – This would be my first trip to these 2 places.
After reading the previous post, thank you to all for the contribution of travelling experiences.
I don’t plan to visit the museums, probably just walk around and enjoy the local food.
Would 1 day + same night would be sufficient to cover Hoi An?

HCM
Although it was 8 yrs ago, my last trip to HCM, I had visited the popular tourist sites twice already.
Do not plan to do any sightseeing , just to use the 2 days to catch up with local friends.
Key highlight for this trip: celebrate New Year's Eve countdown in HCM.

Hope can get some advice. Thanks!

Never. Only go halong bay.

[Baggio10]

Hi all any suggestions for things to do in HCM for family trip with children?

seems like there are more things to see/do in Hanoi than HCM?

Hanoi have live band at Old quarters.

It’s a one street full of bars.
Very crowded.

Near the night market.

Came back SG already. Bars a lot but no play chinese songs one haha.

Old quarters/Hanoi bars seem quite chill compared to HCM. Quite boring to be honest
