I love Vietnam, the food, the people and the prices are all amazing!! Can't wait to go back and stuff my face with food 24/7!
Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️
@@nanaovitan ..bạn ở chỗ nào Hải Phòng vậy , tớ cũng ở HP đây ..😁🤣😴😴
I’m going to Vietnam tomorrow 😊
Hahah thanks and Glad thats you live Vietnam.
@@robertnew4568 How about it??? It's part of any big city. Have you been to New York?
I was here during the summer. Truly is a city that never sleeps.
You are right, no matter how late it was, the streets and restaurants, big and small, were packed. It's an incredible and vibrant city 🇻🇳💛
A lot of vietnamese are night owls. Even in the states, pho restaurants and coffee shops are opened late.
My hometown. It’s changed so much since i left. Thanks for taking me around the city . Looking forward to more videos about Saigon ❤
Aww, thanks, we are glad you enjoyed the video 😃
I respect how they learn so much about cultures and history of the places they visit. Much love
Xin chào cảm ơn bạn đã đến với đất nước Việt Nam khám phá và chải nghiệm phong cảnh âm thực việt các vùng miền Việt Nam con người Việt thân thiện mến khách . .
I am Vietnamese and u deserve a warm welcome to Vietnam tôi yêu các bạn
Visited Ho Chi Minh City before. Such a wonderful place. I think you guys probably have missed a "must see" place - Cu Chi Tunnels - a network of underground tunnels used by the VIetcongs during the Vietnam War. Very interesting place to visit.
How exciting!!! You guys make me even more excited for our upcoming trip. I'm going to be waiting for your next videos!!!
Aww, thanks for this amazing comment 🙌 We are so excited for your upcoming trip to Vietnam 🧳✈️ It is an amazing country 🇻🇳💛 We just released our newest Vietnam video and have many more to come 😀
Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️
What an awesome spot! Y'all did a fantastic job showcasing your first impressions! Can't wait to visit one day ❤
Thanks guys, and you guys will love it. Ha Giang Loop early 2023?? 🏍🇻🇳💛
Very informative and exciting video, thank you, and welcome to Vietnam. Hope you guys will have a great time here 😍
You guys just earned a new subscriber! I love the energy and respectfulness you guys demonstrated in the video. I hope Vietnam becomes a special place for you guys and will travel to it again in the future!
Aww, Melody, thank you so much 😊 We really appreciate your kind words, you have truly made our day 😀 Vietnam is a very special place to us and we are planning another trip for 2023 to complete the Ha Giang Loop. We are very excited 🇻🇳💛🏍🏔
@@ThePassportCouple Please know that as an American, Canadian, or Australian, it's not legal to drive there. Not saying don't do it, but if you get caught, don't do videos blaming the cops for driving legally there. Many people don't know their country didn't sign the 1968 Vienna Convention, which is what makes driving there legal (assuming you also have an IDP for the class of vehicle/bicycle you drive). Yes, some cops look the other way or take small bribes, but legally, you're still in the wrong so if you are caught, know you were doing it illegally and don't post negative videos bashing the cops/laws. Or lobby your politicians to sign the convention. :) BTW, saw some amazing videos from Ha Giang Loop from LukePalms (he went with Jasmine Tours), Skye Samuels, Lucy Gray, CularTravel, Paddy Doyle (episode 3-6, 10-12...but he didn't do a lot of research prior to going on there and his culinary tastes were very limited while he was in Vietnam), Kinging-It, etc.
I left Vietnam since I was 9yrs. I grew up in California and moved to Louisiana, I love Vietnam so much that I often make the visit. Thanks for posting this vlog. I really enjoyed. You guys are a great couples.
Thank you for sharing, we are so glad that you are able to make the trip back to Vietnam when you can. You have a very beautiful country and we are glad you enjoyed our video 🇻🇳💛 Thanks again for leaving us such a thoughtful comment 🙌
Thanks for visiting my country, hope both of u have a great trip ❤💙
Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️
Love this vid...as always, you guys are fun to watch
Hi Emmie 👋 We mean this when we say it, your comments always bring a smile to our faces 😀 Thank you for being awesome and sharing in our adventures, it means a lot to us 🙌
I come from Vietnam. I am very happy that you come to visit my country. I appreciate it ^.^
Brilliant video guys we’re just over the boarder in Cambodia be coming to Saigon real soon we can not wait 😊❤️
You are going to love it, we hope you have a great time 🧳🇻🇳👏
Wellcome to Việt Nam. A great video! ❤
Till now Vietnam is the best country I have ever visited. The people over there are so nice and welcoming. The country is so beautiful and so clean, and somewhat affordable. The best food I found is almost everyone's favorite also, i.e., Banh Mi. Two best places to definitely visit is Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay. If someone love beaches then you should visit Nha Trang as well, which is in the South, close to HCM.
Y’all really a knowledgeable historian. Great blog 👍
Thank you so much, we really appreciate that 🙌
I could hear the rain as soon as you opened your window from your hotel. Enjoyed video
Hi Drew 👋 When it rains in Vietnam, it really rains 🌧 Thanks for leaving us a comment, we really appreciate it 🙌
11:56 For anyone wondering - the Banh Mi place they went to is located at 26 Lê Thị Riêng, Phường Phạm Ngũ Lão, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam
Thank you for sharing that, we appreciate it 🙌
This video make me really really want to go there now. ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Vietnam is really beautiful 🤩🤩
Great video, thanks for sharing❤👍🏻❤
I hope you are successful in your work, my friend💣💥💌
You are right, Vietnam is gorgeous 🇻🇳💛Thank you for leaving us such a nice compliment, we appreciate it 🙌😀

Cảm ơn bạn đã đến với đất nước việt nam chúc bạn luôn vui vẻ và hạnh phúc nhé

I subscribe to every single channel that says they travel to Vietnam. It´s just my personal feeling of being both proud and nationalistic
Thy, this comment is amazing and brought such a huge smiles to both our faces 😀 Thanks for making our day 🙌
You have every reason to be proud of your country, after all Vietnam rose from the ruins of a war to become one of the new Asian Tigers. Congratulations to your people.
Be safe!!
Hi passport couples! Hope to meet you soon. We're visiting Vietnam soon.
Hi Vhal 👋 That's amazing, you are going to love Vietnam 🇻🇳💛

Thank you so much 😊
U guys should take a grab bike or grab car to visit a place called "Phu My Hung" at district 7. There are a lot of restaurants, shopping malls and such like "little Singapore". U guys can also take a walk to Thu Thiem bridge 2 as well to see CBD Saigon at night time...Quite amazing and enjoy your stay!
Wow, thank you for the amazing comment and for sharing these amazing recommendations 😀🙌 Vietnam is filled with so many great things to do 🇻🇳💛
gonna keep this in mind!
South Vietnam was created by North Vietnamese and now they still lead and manage the South so well ❤️🇻🇳
@@alaricaafifi5831 Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️
@@nanaovitan bullshit! Nói tào lao rồi ah. Bớt lại đi má bake
Nice vedio💗
Thank you so much 🙌
Welcome to Viet Nam, enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much, Viet Nam is an amazing place 🇻🇳💛
thich bulon
Personally I prefer Hanoi to Saigon, but no worries because I travel to Dalat where it is more mountainous and cool.
Nice video ! Ben Thanh market is the ideal place for tourists, very high prices !
Giá cao thật
Người Việt Nam rất thân thiện! Cũng rất nhớ chợ Bến Thành!
The video made about Vietnam is also the video with the highest views on your channel, Vietnamese people always welcome all friends in the world when traveling in Vietnam.
You are right Conan, this video has the most views on our channel, it has been amazing 😀 And the Vietnamese people are so amazing and so kind 🇻🇳💛
I like this style!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it 🙌
''They say whatever you're looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that's the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there's a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.'' Thomas Fowler. The Quiet American.
Saigon today is nothing like it was when I was here 50 years ago. These days when I walk around Saigon I walk with a foot in 2 worlds. So many memories. Returned in 2002, and have been here ever since.😉
We definitely understand why you stayed, it is an incredible place to be 🇻🇳💛
Nice to see a Vietnam under visistors’lens 😊 welcome anyone to Hanoi i can be your tourguide
Cảm ơn bạn đã đến Việt nam
Okyy im subscribe for now💋💋
Amazing thank you for subscribing 👏🥳
Thank you so much, i form phan thiet viet nam
At Chanel counter I love my Vietnamese customers they're such cutie and very polite. My hair master from Vietnam as well here in Dubai. He went to vacation for three months. Come back broooo it's already more than 3 months. My hair is crying with you.😭
be careful in ben Than Market they will always overcharge you.... 9:22 she pays 500k ($22) for 2 bags normally sold for 99k each. Not a huge deal but important when you are on a budget.
Well come to vn. Have a good trip
Welcome to SaiGon, VietNam ^^
Welcome to Vietnam!
Thank you so much 🙌
I made a point to have Egg Coffee - delish. Loved Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos.
Hi Ava 👋 It really is amazing ☕️ And we agree, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Cambodia 🇰🇭 and Laos 🇱🇦 are great countries 👏
I like your video please keep up and do what you need to do right things . Thanks
Thank you Loi, that means a lot to us 🙌
welcome to my country !!
Thank you 😀🙌
Thanks for your view
Thank you for leaving us a comment 😃
In the traditional Banh Mi they’ll put pate made out of livers, pork meat call Chả and another type of pork meat. In the market place call Chợ Bến Thành you normally have to bargain at least half or even 3/4 of the price. In the mall or super market it’s fix price. But in the areas where you guys bought your clothing you must bargain to get a good deal. I think you were at Chợ Bến Thành.
Thanks for leaving us such a thoughtful comment Gwen, we appreciate it 🙌 Your description of the Banh Mi definitely clarifies what was on our sandwich that day so thank you. Yes, we were at Chợ Bến Thành and there did seem to be some negotiation in the prices. Thanks again for reaching out 😀
@@ThePassportCouple Have a fantastic stay. How long are you guys staying there? Da Nang and Hoi An is a beautiful place to visit if you have time. Although Da Nang just have their big wind storm. It’s a stormy season for those two places I’ve mentioned. But you may get lucky and have a glimpse of the place with mild weather. The resort in Vung Tau is also very nice too. We booked at Holiday resort.
@@gwenhoang4018 Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️
Starbuck is not so popular in Viet Nam. You can only find it in big cities like HCMC, Da Nang, Hanoi. The most popular brand is Trung Nguyen
And I hear mostly Westerners go there since they don't know any better. The Viets that go there are doing it for the Gram....LOL!
Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is not what it used to be anymore, my Vietnamese friends told me the couple broke up and one of them took with her all the suppliers and is now Banh Mi Ba Huynh. So Banh Mi Ba Huynh is actually what Banh Mi Huynh Hoa used to be. Great vid btw!
I love you guys
Just found your channel and love your style - you have a new subscriber :) What do you edit with please? Your videos feel like they belong on a channel with millions of subs
Thank you so much Becky, this is such a high compliment 😊 We use Premiere Pro for all of our editing 🎥💻 Thanks again for leaving us a comment and for subscribing 🥳
Welcome to Vietnam 😁😁😁!
Viet Nam is a beautiful and peaceful country. We always welcome you to visit and travel or work in our country. Viet Nam is ready to friend with all the countries in the world. The war went by for a long time; it is time for us to heal the damages after the war and make Viet Nam become a beautiful and wealthy land. We hope for a beautiful future with your help. WELCOME TO MY VIET NAM
Banh Xeo and Banh cuon try it guys, i'm a Vietnamese :)) so i recommend that dish : D - try to watch Movie at night ( movie theater )
OMG as a Vietnamese who have never done bargaining before, you guys did a pretty good job actually. Anyway, thank you for visiting. Have a blast one! ❤
What is the night life like? Are there any British pubs?
@@douglas3286 there are many pubs around District 1 called Bui Vien area. HCM City have really busy night life, dont worry you wont get bored
@@vyluu6181 I've never been to Asia before. Is it safe for a single male traveller in Saigon? Thanks
@@douglas3286 yes, HCM City is a safe place for single tourist, you can research and watch more youtube videos of single travellers who already've been here.
@@douglas3286 nothing to worry about other than being overcharged for stuffs you buy, but it's not common
Welcome to Viet Nam ❤❤❤
I love the Vietnamese version of Rolling stone
Welcome to Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Chúc bạn ngày tốt lành ♥
Welcome to Vietnam
Thank you 😀 🇻🇳💛
Hi, I'm Vietnamese. I highly recommend going to Hanoi. Although Saigon is richer, Hanoi has more high-rise buildings. The area is also larger
Non-sence with highrise building, especially for foreigner!
oh my god the bread is crunchy HAHAHAHAHAH makes me hungry
War is bad. But that doesn't mean all Americans , French, chinese ...are bad. In Vietnam, there are good people and bad people.You guys are very friendly 😊😁. Welcome to Viet Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Welcome to viet nam 🇻🇳
Did you guys eat PHO? It would be good on rainy day?
We didn't have any PHO on this day, but you are right, it is the perfect dish for a rainy day. We did have some in the video we just released. The PHO in Vietnam is amazing 😀 Thanks for leaving us such a nice comment, we really appreciate it 🙌
My favourite city
Understandable, it is a great city 👏
Im actually writing an essay about the church right now so is it possible for you to show me where you got the information that be very helpful
자막 감사합니다^^
Thx for the fun video! Just a note for those who are gluten sensitive, the baguettes are made with wheat flour NOT rice flour. There’s a lot of misinformation out there so that’s a common fallacy. Still ngon though!
Thanks for clarifying about the baguettes Terry 🥖
Yep...that's one of them. The other is that pho came from the French...uh, show me a French noodle soup like that. Sure, the French introduced using beef, but they didn't invent beef.
đẹp quá
Local people rarely buy something in Ben Thanh Market because expensive rental price make the price in that market higher than local market. 😀
wellcome to Việt Nam
Thank you so much 🙌
This makes me miss Saigon so much!!
Welcome to Saigon, in Khmer language it is called Prey Nokor city
That's so enjoyable trip. Both of you have made me surprisingly because of your knowledge and your passionate about my country, especially our city. I've subscribed your channel.
The experience when buying things at Ben Thanh market is that you have to pay a low price or you will be disadvantaged, but for food, the price is cheap, you can't negotiate the price.
Thanks for sharing Conan, this is helpful 😀🙌
Did you guys apply for an e-visa ? Please share your immigration experience. I'm gonna go there in November.
Hi Sidharth 👋 We purchased an e-visa through iVisa. They made everything super easy and when we arrived we simply showed our documentation from iVisa and that was it. We also got everything back pretty quickly but I would say to be safe, give yourself 2 weeks to get everything back just in case. Here’s a link for 5% off of iVisa: www.ivisa.com/apply-online?promotion=promothepassportcouple (good until 10/12).
I hope you enjoy your trip in vietnam. Oh and we make bread using wheat flour, not rice flour.
Our trip was amazing and thank you for sharing that information with us 😀🙌
