- Join us on this adventure through the beautiful country of Vietnam. We are going on a 32+ hour train ride from Hanoi all the way down to Ho Chi Minh City. We will also be riding in one of only four VIP first class sleeper cabins on the whole train! Was it everything we were hoping it would be? Do we think it was worth the cost? We'll fill you in on all of our thoughts before the end of the video! :)

The real problems with trains in Vietnam, is not comfortableness, but the loud passengers and constant stopping. Just to give you an idea, from Ha Noi to Sai Gon, the train will go through about a hundred stations, and stop at major ones which is 20 of them, that means each 1-2 hours it will stop completely for a few minutes to drop off or pick up people, and in that process it will get loud and really chaotic. So if you're planning to travel by trains, I recommend bringing some ear plugs, the good ones, to plug in at night.
Rural vietnam is beautiful
It was absolutely incredible! We had no idea how beautiful it really was
It’s interesting to see what it’s look inside a private room in the Vietnam train. We Love Train very much but we never tried traveling in a train in Vietnam. Great landscape around… 🙂 Have a nice day 🍒🍒🍒
Was gonna take this trip but the bathroom took it off the list, thank you guys
Time : 4:06 for anyone looking
Fly economy class on any airline and their bathrooms are not much better than the ones on Vietnam's trains. If a bathroom on a train is your threshold for not taking a trip then you better never travel to India because that whole country smells like s**t, LOL.
It seems really great!!! Which was the train that you took? Did you book the tickets online in advance? Thank you!
It was an incredible experience! We booked it directly through the Vietnam Railway website
Our family of 5 is taking this train in June...6 person berth! WISH US LUCK!! LOL
Good luck & have fun! The views are amazing!
Those fruits are the crops to these platers/farmers. So, the bags are to deter/to prevent insects, birds, fruit bats and other animals from getting to them.
That makes a lot of sense :) Thank you so much for the info!!
how can I book train tickets!? pls help me!
link pls!
planning to visit pretty soon pls help!
Thanks in advance!
There is no shower in the cabin? Can we walk around the train during the trip?
Which train did you take? or what was the name of the train?
Fruit could be Polmeo / like a giant grapefruit.
Popular at TET and a mouth cleaner end of meal
pomelo *
That's so interesting! We hadn't thought of that :) Thank you so much for watching!!
Yeah 3-in-1 and 2-in-1 coffee is normal in south east asia. Toilet culture is a bit different in asia compared to the west and japan. Eg in malaysia many use bidet or bum pump, secondary is toilet tissue(muslims use left hand). There are 2 types of toilets as well, the western wc and the squat type. But i understand that in taiwan, you cannot flush the toilet paper along with poo, instead you dump it into a bin(i find that disgusting). Coz the hole is so small the system can get stuck. The reason why asian prefer squat is the western ones has a seat. We think it is not clean to sit on it.
Why don't you guys get off at Da Nang & explore the central of Vietnam?
Unfortunately we did not have time to do this on this trip. However, on our next trip back to Vietnam we really want to explore Da Nang and other parts of the country :)
Hi, Did you guys get food on the train? On the website the 2 birth cabins were $220 usd each person.
Hi there! We did not get food on the train but we also did not pay that much for our tickets. We saw another couple do this train ride and they did seem to get food so maybe the $220 includes it. I'm not sure but I feel like they would have all of those details on the website
I think most trains include food in the tickets, not sure why these guys didnt get any food. But even if they dont, there is one food car on each train so you can go there and get some hot food, and once in a while some employees will push food and drink carts up and down the train like you saw in the video.
@@ShannonxAaron how much did you pay?
I don’t know how you guys can put up with 32 hours + on the Vietnam rattler :)) First class Vietnamese is different 💯 % that western first class 😂
I took a sleeping cabin on train from Hanoi to Lau Cai once which i really enjoyed.
Another time I planned a train ride from Hanoi to Dong Ha but got off at 5/6 cities in between. So When I moved to the next city I would buy a ticket at each station for the next stage. I I didn’t like the city I would move on.. so much fun.
This way I got to experience the culture at each city.. Vinh was great and that’s where Uncle Ho was born - a little trivia 😊🫢
Enjoy Saigon it’s also a great bustling city 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for watching!! We really appreciate it :) We can't wait to come back to Vietnam in the future to see more of the country!
how much was it
how much is it?
What a awesome experience guys. Where did you book these tickets from please?
you can book the ticket here: dsvn.vn/#/
Thank you so much for watching! We booked our tickets directly on the Vietnam Railways website - www.vietnamrailwaycorp.com/
@@ShannonxAaron any tips how far in advance to book a cheap train tickets? Planning to go mid-October
Price for this train?
We are going to do this in April
We travel to Vietnam a lot as our son lives in Ha Phong with his wife new Baby
We loveeeee Vietnam
Thanks for your efforts and sharing
PS mmmmm toilets 🚽 mmmm god 😮
Hello,
I want to know is it expensive to travel by train from Hanoi to Saigon?
Since we had a two person cabin it was a little expensive. It was last year so forgive my memory but I think it was approximately $100 USD/ Per person.
@@ShannonxAaron Thank you for answering 👍
i just bought the ticket last weekend, saigon to hanoi, this cabin for two us$130/person
How to buy the ticket train guys ? Online book or direct to the counter
We bought out tickets directly through their website
@@ShannonxAaron may i know what website?
I think we booked it though
Vietnamrailwaycorp.com
We booked the SE1 suite cabin
@@ShannonxAaron if direct to the counter bought tiket is it also can ?
I do not know
The toilet could have been a squat toilet
What would a foreigner(from South Africa) need to travel from hanoi to Saigon
To be honest we are not really sure what you are asking here. We recommend checking all travel requirements for in and around Vietnam through Google for your specific country as we only know a little about the process for Americans. Sorry we could not be of more assistance.
@@ShannonxAaron I wanted to know if the documents you used to get into Hanoi are the same you used to get into Saigon.
@@nomondemabunda1718 There are no papers needed, you just need the basic stuff like passports and money.
Just imagine on the trans siberian train from moscow to asia. Max boredom too.
We can only imagine 😂 We've thought about doing that someday!
It would have been much better if we could see more of country side instead of inside compartment.
Is there wifi?
Thanks for watching! There was no WiFi and very little cell service the entire trip
Do they ever actually say what the cost of the tickets was? Wtf
i just bought the ticket last weekend, saigon to hanoi, this cabin for two US$130/person
Take the time tunnel back to the late 1960's and show this to the US soldiers fighting in Vietnam !
The train is not the best mode of transportation in VN , especially for a long journey from North to South . You better take the luxury bus that you could stop at different spots to rest and check-out the area . In case you are on hurry , so take the plane then . Never ever travel by train in VN
Honestly, we kind of disagree here. The train was a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience that we definitely recommend other people check out. However, the next time we are in VN we plan on checking out the busses as well so that we can get a different experience and can check out more of the country as well. Thank you so much for watching!
lol.....need deodorizer for the bathroom
I guess you guys had a great experience. But I already know how bad the toilet is on the train, it's horrible, they should clean it every day.🥲
