Hi Ken, my wife and I (both 70) we arrived in HCMC and payed the fee for priority immigration and we were through in 2 minutes. It is a city you need to pre plan (SIM card, download the Grab app and booking an airport pick up, it was worth the extra £4) we spent a month hopping b…

Hello, I am Vietnamese. Thank you very much for using the name 'Sài Gòn' because it is a beloved name of the Vietnamese people since ancient times, given to the city by our ancestors.

There were more ATM's at either end of the terminal outside, including a HSBC one. When using ATM's in Vietnam always select default or current account, if you select savings, cheque or credit it will not work. Most will limit the amount you can withdraw to 3 million VND per tran…

I am in Saigon, and was here by the time you came, which was “Tet”, the Lunar New Year. It’s the most important holiday for the Vietnamese, and the longest one. You came at the very busiest time of the year, when bank employees also take holidays. Thus, the lack of cash in the AT…

Pro-tip. As soon as you arrive and exit the airport, turn left and and walk all the way to the end, ignore the other taxis. Get a Vinasun or a Mai Linh taxi. They are all metered and are waiting for you. they would have charged you half of what you paid. Also laundry in hotels ar…

Hiya Ken. You kept your cool after your arrival. Maybe choosing a smaller amount might have worked. The machines might not have been that full. And then you tried that. Wow, the traffic is insane. Lovely suite. What a great view. You were great to stay calm. And not get stressed…

I've been to Vietnam twice in recent months, I absolutely love it! So far I've only been to Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Hoi An and Da Nang, but Saigon is definitely on my list. The moped situation in Saigon is likely similar to Hanoi, and whilst daunting at first, once you learn how to ma…

One tip for you, don't stress, relax, slow down, you always try to do everything so fast! That doesn't make things happen.

I prefer calling it Saigon because it is easier to pronounce and holds significant meaning for the locals, and I am Vietnamese.

I have been to Saigon twice. A good friend of mine from Uni lives there. He's German like you but his parents were Vietnamese. Yes, Saigon is chaotic but Grab make it easy to go around. What I love over there is sitting at Highland Cafes and the banh mi. The city is chaotic bu…

Ken, I admire your tenacity. I was feeling every ATM denial with you. As an American, age 70, my first impression of HCMC were thoughts of how many American soldiers passed through the areas where you were walking. I always enjoy your videos and find your content to be some of th…

I travel as much as you do, probably more for both work and leisure and I always carry USD before leaving because even though you may not get the best exchange rate at least you have that option to exchange for local currency and you will have cash.
