I loved the food in Vietnam I loathe chilli, and love the fact Vietnamese food is delicious without it

A British boy complaining he can’t get a cold beer? I assume you were wanting lagers and not ales
Comment from : brontew cat

Great video, as usual, Paddy Do you offset your carbon footprint? That's something I would LOVE to hear more about
Comment from : Fledermausland

Most tourists visit Vietnam The most annoying stuff is the red ugly communist flags that can be found everywhere Most foreign tourists allergic to the communist flags
Comment from : Minh Duong

VN is not a food paradise and you need to pack spices? Lol are you sure you were in the right country? 😂

We are not afraid to splurge, we need money to splurge
Comment from : Aratrika Ghosh

Waaah? No chili in VN?? No way You ask for it They keep in the back Sorry to say, we VNmese might be stereotyping - assuming you don't eat spicy food, lol 😅

Shoot, I am planning a 9 day trip and was thinking of starting in Hanoi, stopping in Hoi An and spending the last day in Saigon… But I just got to your last tip It’s so hard but I hear you 😊
Comment from : Pamela

This is amazing and so so helpful, thank you!

Thanks Paddy 😊

Thanks for the comment about Chili sauce! As a Korean American, I always bring Gochujang (Korean sweet pepper paste) wherever I travel - specifically, I bring the tubed gochujang with minced ground beef It's a lifesaver for me when I have hard time trying new foods
Comment from : Jun Park

Vietnamese people are the kindest and most hospitable! My family is exactly like this!

Sadly, unattended GoPro's get stolen from everywhere! You don't have to be in Vietnam to have this happen
Comment from : Simoa Huni

I’m not sure what you have been eating here but I’ve been drinking ice cold beer everyday and do not remember ever been served a warm beer in all of the times I’ve been in Vietnam It’s honestly shocking that you think the homemade saté or pounded fresh chilies served on the tables in Vietnam is more “processed” and “lacking in flavor” than tobasco? Ended the video right there
Comment from : YK

Where is that place where you were riding bike on a green mountain at the start of the video
Comment from : Vedant Chanani

Omg, you are not a traveller You assume every country is the same Vietnam is vietnam It has its own system Is what it is You are really silly
Comment from : Brian Voigt

"things are most likely to be stolen in vietnam than thailand because that happened to me once" interesting point of view
Comment from : Ossi Saarinen

I am moving to Southeast Asia I have crossed Vietnam off my list; but have made it a future vacation destination Thank You Paddy
Comment from : Christian Soldier

I’m living here in Vietnam Cold beer and cold drinks could be find anywhere
Comment from : guoxiu tang

Comment from : William Huynh

Saigon is south and da lát is for being cool not really fun but just refreshing in north
Comment from : William Huynh

Why do we need 7/11 when we do have massive convenience store, called "tiệm tạp hoá" everywhere?
Comment from : Minh Bui

Hi Paddy been enjoying your videos just subscribed ! Would you recommend April to be an ok time to travel ?
Comment from : Kristin

Hi! :) brThe food issue is a huge surprise! In Hanoi, it's hard to find bad food But I guess in the countryside it's a different story
Comment from : Wojtek

Vietnam is the best place on earth
Comment from : Jamie Luby

Currently in vietnam snd ur description is accurate especially about the food You never get hungry in Thailand but vietnam is not the same
Comment from : 365daysabroad

"don't travel in june-july august" am traveling in june/august cos the ticket was mega cheapo Fuck lol
Comment from : Rhys Webster

Another tip, Karma Group Europesn touts in Hoi An Ancient Village are aggressive, harassing and extremely rude and patronising Just tell them to pass off They will not take no for an answer and will harrass you endlessly and repeatedly Karma Group Hotels is a scam, avoid at all costs Locals are kind and will leave you alone if you say no, Karma Group Touts are ruining the tourism everywhere they operate thier scam
Comment from : FastedCarbio

Do you think you could do Vietnam in 2wks?
Comment from : Andrew Eastman

Warm beer I don’t agree, we have cold beers and ice with beers I live in small town so what you say I don’t see it
Comment from : cherry

To be honest i think there are more scammers in Thailand Maybe you need to press reset your every visit so the experience from one country does not impact the next
Comment from : Taru A

Meh don't listen to this guy He's oddly negative for the clickbait titles Yeah if you're in some very rural area or at a tiny hole in the wall "restaurant" don't expect all the amenities, but everywhere I've gone this month they have all served cold beer Maybe 1 out of 20 has given me a room temperature can but they've given me a cup filled with ice If you need something, just ask
Comment from : C

Thank you so muuuuch 🙏
Comment from : Anna

I am traveling July for a month and I hope my travel is smooth with the school holiday crowd 🙃 Don't have choice as I need to attend a friend's wedding in Saigon
Comment from : Saurav Roychoudhury

Vietnam is not a foodie destination? What?? brbrI've lived in 30 different countries and Vietnamese food is some of the best and richest food I've enjoyed, on par only with Indian and Spanish cuisine
Comment from : Evan Chiles

How did you go doing the ha long bay crusie while doing the trip on motorbike i go in less than 2 weeks and we are doing it on motorbike Want to do ha long bay but not sure how with motorbikes
Comment from : Brianna Scheuber

You were surprised something got stolen when it was left out in the open? brbrYou left your key in the scooter and was surprised it was gone? Where do you normally live haha brbrPeople in Thailand are less likely to steal? Lol come on mate
Comment from : Soobin Kim

I tried to appreciate the intent of this video, which is to help others avoid making the same “mistakes” you made But your blatant ignorance, lack of planning, and general lack of understanding or appreciation for Vietnam’s culture shows It’s unfortunate videos like this are floating around giving people misconceptions of a wonderful country (with pros and cons very much like every country) Your actual mistakes are projecting Western expectations on a 3rd world developing country and lack of common sense Yeah, if you’re careless and leave your belongings somewhere, chances are it’ll get stolen and that’s not exceptional to VN - try it in every other country and see what happens There are honest and dishonest people all over the world Similarly, there are great, good and bad restaurants in every country - so to label an ENTIRE country as not a foodie destination (Anthony Bourdain has a video that would contradict you) is unfair, disrespectful and laughably myopic As many others have nicely pointed out, you didn’t plan well, research, or frankly apply common sense to your travels You had access to Google translate but did you bother to ask for ice (vs expecting it)? Hopefully others are taking this bad advice with 8lbs of salt because you’re actually doing a disservice to people Travel is about broadening your horizons, not just taking what limited world view you have and projecting that across every country you visit Perhaps a better place to start is visiting your own expectations and asking why another culture needs to meet them in order to be considered good/worthy

Why are you always around kids? Lol

Vietnam NOT a foody destination??? Srsly WTF!?!?

Tuned out when I got to “Vietnam is not a foodie destination” lol
Comment from : A

I would say if you have a choice, do not book VietJet air tickets (the cheapest airline) Choose another airlines because VietJet constantly delays flights from 15 min to 5 h
Comment from : Ирина Спейс

Great vid! Was it hard to get a visa to be able to stay 2 months? I am planning my second trip to Thailand with a side of Vietnam so I am going to watch your other vid right now Thank you!
Comment from : Eric Ross

I didn’t know there existed countries where you could leave your keys in your car (or motorbike) for TWO WEEKS and it WOULDN’T be gone That is remarkable I’m from the US and would fully expect my things to be stolen if left unsecured
Comment from : ZP

Really value your content Paddy It helped heaps when I visited Thailand last year Just wondering if you can recommend somewhere in Vietnam that is similar to Ao Nang? I'm looking for a similar beach town to stay for a trip to Vietnam in December
Comment from : nathan m

Such a good advise "see less, experience more" ❤

Comment from : Danial Harith Ridzuan

Some good tips brHowever I wouldn’t leave a vehicle with the keys on, or a go pro hanging from the hand bar anywhere in Europe I don’t believe it’s a valid argument saying that you might get robbed in Vietnam Maybe you just want to be sensible to where you leave your belongings
Comment from : David Duport

Oh no I literally just planned to go for 3 months june-august haha
Comment from : The Tall Traveller

I don’t know where you are from But any place in the USA, if you leave your keys or GoPro in the car, that it would be stolen for sure My experience in Vn is almost the opposite I left my camera in a small store buying water in the Mekong delta, and later the store owner found me on the boat dock to return my camera and wouldn’t take anything So saying Thailand is better than VN in this aspect Big generalization otherwise good tips
Comment from : Roger Rossman

So basically, common sense prevails
Comment from : Kirk OBrien

Maybe in the north of Vietnam the food is lacking flavour, MY thou is amazing , I live there , maybe open your eyes a little more Paddy You also just have to ask for chilli
Comment from : seeking the truth

Never had a problem getting a cold beer in Hanoi or Haiphong Was I just lucky?
Comment from : Alvin Purple

I've spent nine months there, I always find ice for cold beer It's the norm, I don't have any friends there that drink warm beer
Comment from : Traveling With The Don

Hi, great video I am looking to go North and Central Vietnam from mid July (unfortunately restricted to summer holidays) what was the weather like when you travelled? Thanks in advance!
Comment from : Prashant Patel

Sorry to be picky, but if you are English why do you spell Travelling as traveling?
Comment from : Harrys Happenings

Dear Paddy, the best part of travelling is to get surprised in any aspects isn't it? If you expect everything to be the same to what you already know, why bother leaving the comfort of your home? Talking about cold beer: they serve it in vn on the rocks About hot sauce by your meal: in vn you get fresh hot chilli peppers in every restaurant every where Foreigners may get some 'chili sauce for kids' because people think the fresh chilli might be too hot for them A smile on your face will always add more values to everything everywhere you go
Comment from : minnie fontein

Warm beer and bad food, good god :) No ice either, for real? Was thinking about spending some time Up north now im not so sure…
Comment from : b4bmm

How did u get a 8 week visa, I got a 30 days visa and I am afraid it won't be enough
Comment from : Robin Hollema

Agree with everything 👍
Comment from : Александр Александров

You left an expensive camera (gopro) unattended on motorbike !! What do you expect ? It will get stolen in 199 countries around the world Same goes if you leave your keys in a bike!
Comment from : Mosaddeque Shahrier

Your English very good
Comment from : review tour

Thank you for sharing your experiences in Viet Nam, I like the way to called "Sai Gon", the people that love Viet Nam are using Sai Gon instead Ho Chi Minh, as you know Ho Chi Minh is a nickname that the Chinese that gave to Nguyen Sinh Cung when he was in China and by honoring the help from China, Vietnamese communist party changed Sai Gon to Ho Chi Minh
Comment from : Tay Nguyen

You're talking a lot about the danger of parking bikes, but what about licenses? Did you have an international IDP license?
Comment from : Matteo Ciccognani

I suppose you've been in Vietnam in July/August 2022 How was the weather? Around 104'F? About the rain? I'm deciding if going there next july/August Thanks for everyone that responds!
Comment from : Regina Fracasso
