r/VietnamTravelAdvice

I am a 30 year old solo female traveler and have seen people say the Ha Giang Loop is a must do/ see. Do you agree or is it not necessary? If so, I’d like to do an easy rider option for the loop. I will be there early June- I am totally ok with rain but am a little nervous about general safety on the motorcycle in rainy conditions. Safety is a top priority.

I’ve also seen that the tours are often geared toward younger party travelers. As a 30 year old, I’m not looking for the party scene but do want to be part of a group/ not just a private tour, but hopefully not be the oldest person of the group. I am decently active and have outdoors experience but also not looking to over exert myself / want to feel confident and comfortable if that makes sense.

Any advice on a tour company/ the length of stay?

Hi there, first time visitor to Vietnam from Australia with my girlfriend, we are both 31. We have just over 2 weeks there so want to get the right balance of seeing Vietnam but also not constantly moving around trying to do too much.

This is a rough itinerary we have put together, we'd be keen for any feedback on it and advice. We'd love to do the Loop as a priority for our trip. We like exploring the outdoors but also learning about history/culture/nightlife. This trip would be end of May and into June. We understand it is rainy in alot of these areas but are okay with it

We think breaking down our trip to 3 segments, exploring the north including the ha giang loop - the centre for beach and relaxation and then finish back at HCM.

Any help is much appreciated ! Thankyou

I am going to Thailand and Vietnam for 6 weeks. I’m Irish and want to get a drivers licence for over there. How can I go about doing this and what else might I need for driving scooters over there.

Also is there any other tips for my time over there.

I’m leaving to go to Thailand on the 10th of June since my apartments rent is up the day before, and don’t want to have to stay in Vietnam until my old runs out since I’ll have to get a place to stay for a week and a bit.
My current visa in Vietnam is until the 20th of June. Can I reapply for a new 90 day visa before the 20th? Or do I have to wait until then to apply. I’m on a budget and don’t fancy staying in Thailand for nearly a month while I wait for it to be accepted.
Thanks!
