Aapke videos se kaafi help mili and we have successfully completed Vietnam trip... 👍👍❤️
Thank you so much.
It is also very important to tell the fact that currency conversions for different US denominations are different where the value of US $100 > US $50 > US $20 and like that. They also do not accept old notes even if they are not torn in any way.
Same thing happens in Thailand.
Thanks for sharing this piece of information, I wasn't aware of this.
@@WanderingMonk No problem. Keep sharing your amazing content. I did watch your content before visiting Vietnam.
Hello🙏 aapki information ne humare Vietnam tour main bhut help ki aur comfortable banyan…. Videos ese hi bnate rhiye best of luck and Thank u so so so much🎉 🙏🌼🙏
You are most welcome.
I am back from Vietnam so technically no reason to check out videos but the nostalgia makes me see these. Plus you are doing great work giving honest genuine advice . Few suggestions based on my experience -
Indian IDP is not valid in Vietnam. India is a signatory to different IDP convention so if caught by cop even that won't help. That being said, no one was checking or asked me for it.
Klook was pretty unreliable for me. It locked my wife's and mine account for 24 hours. Finally had to contact local operators to book tour
Thank you so much for adding your word of wisdom, really appreciate it.
What's Indian IDP ???
Indian IDP is the IDP one gets from Indian RTOs
Driving licence ?
what other option would you suggest regarding IDP?
Sapa me ganesh hotel khul gaya hai...humne wahi khaya
☺Are waah, that's great for Indian travelers.
Again excellent information about Vietnam 👌
Thank you so much
Hi, your content is amazing please let me know Vietnam is safe for Indians solo travelers and is there any kind of scam in Vietnam like Thailand.
Thank you!
I have not heard of anything in particular, there would scams as in any part of the world just be aware of the surroundings & be safe.
Lekin vietnam me jaake Indian food kyu khana hai..! Vietnamese khana chaiye na!
Nice video and nice family sir 😊
Thank you 😊
Informative
Thanks!
Thank For the valuable information sir, I am planning to visit Vietnam this September first week for 5 days. Please suggest me good time to visit cities and attractions.
And also for traveling one city to other city do I need to book flight or bus in advance or i can book from There?
Please watch this, I have shared entire planning in this video-czcams.com/video/Gxx4xYHtcSI/video.html
Sir very good information
Glad that you liked it!
Hello
It's worth to visit sapa and Danang for same activities of same group
I forgot the name who run amusement park in sapa and Danang
I enjoyed both, both of them are very different from each other.
Information on 😮
😊
Love your videos sir. How would you recommend someone to travel from sapa to ba na hills?
Thank you so much!
You have to come to Hanoi & then catch a flight to Danang. There is also options of trains/buses but take much time.
@@WanderingMonk thank you
Hi , thanks for sharing the knowledge . Its of great help please let me know in june what places one should visit for 7 night days tour thanks
For itinerary, check this video-czcams.com/video/Gxx4xYHtcSI/video.html
In June just be careful of weather. It might be humid
This is my first international trip without a tour package. Travelling with my parents and sister from India. Really scared and nervous about the itinerary and bookings. Your videos have been very helpful. Can you please suggest how to find the best hotels and deals for accomodation? Of course I am looking at hotels where you stayed at to make my task easier. Also, we are pure veggies. Did you carry food from India because I have veg food is a big problem in vietnam. Apart from cat cat village and fansipan, what are other places to explore in sapa? Should we carry VND from India or USD?
Thanks for watching!
Here are my responses-
-For hotel prices, you can use Google Maps to compare the prices. This is what I use.
-Yes, I always carry ready-to-eat food.
-You may check my SAPA videos & Google the same as well.
Thank you!
Please tell me which type of charging adapter used in vietnam?? Is it like indian or any other adapter?
Carry international adapter with you.
Jaise apne kaha we can carry drones in Vietnam. Drone ka remote kya hang bag mein carry kre ya fir woh bhi Check in baggage me dena hai jab India se jana ya wapas India ana ho from/to Vietnam
Drone in check-in bag while going, while comeing back evrything in handbag
@@WanderingMonk I'm planning to buy drone in Vietnam. So India wapas Ho Chi Minh se aate time Drone with Remote both hand bag mein varry karu?
Sir I am going to Vietnam in july 3rd. Is july a good season ??
Saurabh ji . You travelled by vietjet from Mumbai to vietnam. what is your experience on baggage especially carry on in terms of size measurements. My cabin bag is 2-3 cm larger than what is mentioned in vietjet website .
2 3 cms hardly matters
Nice video sir. Very informative. I am planning to visit Vietnam this july end to august first week for 9 days. Ho chin min_da nong_hoi an_hannoi and sapa. Please let me know if it is a good time to visit. I am worried about weather particularly rains. Please guide 🙏
Except cetral Vietnam i.e Da Nang, Hoi an it's rainy season elsewhere so plan accordingly.
Hello.. what was included in your ba na hills ticket apart from cable car ticket? Was lunch and alpine/mountain coaster included?
Apart from lunch most of the things included. Coaster also.
Hi,how to book taxi in ho chi min and da nang
Grab taxi booking app.
Hi Sir,
Return flight is from danang to hanoi and to india connecting flight .. so where should we put the drone ? In check in or in cabin
In cabin, just check with the poeple at check-in counter once.
You have to convert inr into usd or euro because inr is not accepted anywhere in Vietnam.
Thanks for the insight
Can we carry drone in cabin luggage as well?
While going from India, It has to be in Check-in otherwise in Vietnam put it in cabin.
@@WanderingMonk does drone needs to be registered in my name or we only need to show the registration certificate.. actually it's registered in my father's name so not sure if I am eligible to carry.
I don't think that it matters, till date no one has ever checked any document. Any ways, you will be carrying drone registered in your father's name.
Hi ! Your videos are awesome. I have a query. I got my E-Visa but the gender is mentioned incorrectly. Can you advise what can be done?
Thank you.
Raise a query on evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/web/guest/lien-he
Thanks for your response. Have raised a request. They are not responding. Should I apply for a new Visa?
If you have time then wait otherwise you will have to apply again.
I am planning vietnam tour in first week of November..will it be weather wise
How is FI platinum card?
Hello sir …. Your videos are very informative …. Can you please solve my issue … I have no surname in my passport and while applying for visa they are asking for surname … my application is rejected one as I have wrote my first name in Both given name and surname ..
Not sure about this, it would be better to contact the embassy of Vietnam.
For family -there is no add member for visa application
You will have to apply for every individual separately.
Thank you Sourabh ji
My e visa is applied , start point ho chi min end point hanoi however i m travelling entering vice versa any issue with that
I have seen people doing it, don't think it would be a problem. It would still be better to check with the airline/immigrations authorities.
Hello Sir My parents are going to Vietnam So can you please let me know about the currency.Should they have to exchange from inr to usd from India or they should carry any debit card
As mentioned in the video, I use Niyo by DCB global card & RBL World Safari credit card.
Very recently, I used Niyo card in UAE & Georgia & there were nominal ATM usage charges levied by local banks in some cases but not by Niyo. Niyo charged 20% of TCS, which got reversed (if your international expenditure is less than 7 Lacs in the financial year). The reversal of charges that I told in the video was of TCS only which was 5% before Oct'23 & now it is 20%, I thought TCS to be withdrawal charges. Niyo, DCB never charged any withdrawal fees.
Wherever possible, I use the RBL World Safari credit card, which has zero forex markup charge.
Sir how to apply for child who is 7 yr old. Does we have to apply separate application
K look payment can be done through our Indian debit cards
Yes.

Hello
Needed one suggestion
If I have to choose between Sapa n Dalat....which should it be?
Personally, I liked Da Lat more.
Hello sir,
actually i need a suggestion.
when i am trying to book tickets from danang to dalat for mid april, the prices in any website is showing 8500 minimum. can you suggest some tricks and tips so that i can book at a cheaper rate?
Flight prices are dynamic & depends on many factors, mainly on demand & supply. You can use fare tracker feaure of Google flights/Skyscanner so that you get alert in case of price drop.
hi... does Niyo card works in Vietnam... do we have to load USD in it and use it to withdraw VND from local ATM
Niyo is a debit card, no need to lod any currency, just withdraw from ATM as you withdraw in India.
@@WanderingMonk can you also let me know…where this card can be used …I am traveling Vietnam next week…is it necessary to carry some USD cash as well or VND cash
@@kelkarashish1 keep some USD handy as back up
Sir i have seen that in cities of vietnam, if we want to rent scooter, we have to handover our passport to the hiring agency. Should we rent bike by keeping passport as collateral or can you suggest alternative ways to rent bikes?
Don't do that, I rented twice but not asked for any deposit.
Sir mere passport pe surname nhi hai .visa form pe kya dalege . Mera given name Rajinder pal Singh hai
Intended date of entry in visa application is when we are landing in Vietnam or when we are boarding the flight ? Like we are flying on 25th of sep and reaching Vietnam on 26th sep . So which date to write ?? 25th or 26th??
It would be 26th, 25th would also work because date of entry can be any day during the visa validity period of 30 days.
@@WanderingMonk thank you sir 🙏🏻
Sir Vietnam Currency Ko Convert Karne Ka Easy Way Kya Hai In Mind?
Ya to USD le ke jaayein aur convert karayein otherwise withdraw from ATM
@@WanderingMonk For 4 Nights 5 Days 120 Usd And Ni yo Debit Card Enough Hoga?
Other than getting local SIM of Vietnam, do we need IR pack of jio for receiving OTP for making online bookings while in Vietnam?
Usually the incoming SMS with basic international roaming is free, check with your operator for clarity.

Hi
I am traveling to Vietnam soon,do I need to buy a travel adaptor?
yes, you need
Hello Sir, I am travelling in the last month of June till July first week. I want to cover only one city and near by areas for 5 days. Which city would you suggest me during this season time considering the direct flights. Also, is Vaccination certificate mandatory to travel? Please reply
You can travel to central Vietnam, in the cities like Danang, Hoi An, Hue & Da Lat.
@@WanderingMonk Thank You Sir for your response
Saurabh any idea how to write name on e-visa? The website has confusing information - specimen shows surname first but application shows name first.
It's simple the website says (First name Middle name Last name), so write the same name written on your passport. If your passport don't have middle name then don't include it on visa
This is an old video so i hope you notice my question!
I am also planning to get niyo dcb debit card but the website says 300+ gst for atm withdrawal, and you said in this video that it gets reversed.
Can you please clarify a bit more on that part? It doesn't say anywhere on the website about reversal of cash withdrawal fees, so it would be 354(incl gst) for every withdrawal you make right? How are you getting that reversed!
Also what are the other alternates to niyo global for international atm withdrawal at low charges?
Thanks in advance.
Very recently, I used this card in UAE & Georgia & there were nominal ATM usage charges levied by local banks in some cases but not by Niyo. Niyo charged 20% of TCS, which got reversed (if your international expenditure is less than 7 Lacs in the financial year).

How much min. Usdt required for Vietnam tour??
Kya aapne veitnam me domestic flights on the spot book ki thi ya india se hi booking kari huvi thi
Pahle se book ki thi while I was in India

Nahi, only VND.
How is nov 20 till 15 dec time to travel vietnam (hanoi - sapa - da nang - dalat - Phu Quoc)
Northern Vietnam would be a bit cooler during that time, overall should be OK.
Is there any new rules when I visit Thailand from Vietnam.?
What kind of rules?
@@WanderingMonk any visa rules, documents required , rtpcr test, etc ?
Just carry E-Visa & travel insurance.
Hi please advise regarding the infant visa?? Do i need to apply for infant visa
Yes you do. Every person with a passport needs to apply for individual visa.

Sir, doest DCB charge us 300+GST per international transactions?

@@WanderingMonk Sir, but nowhere they have written that.. May be they have changed the policies? Have you been able to get refund recently?
