Affordable Stay (HCMH)
Notes :
During my trip to vietnam, you will find most people cannot speak english there. So you have to use your body language Pro Max to make them understand.
Talked to my friends that are local there , he said if you use body language other locals might see you as a cave man (Who behave in primitive manner) but what can we do? 😂
The Cozy Inn
@fndyfsoul
Good place to stay if you are going with friends, the host are super friendly and kind. it cost you under $50, for indonesian peeps, if you go with three of your friends only pay <200K IDR per person.
The location is very strategic, it is in Quan 1 District and near with everything. From entertainment aspects, local foods and stuffs

The Letter Cafe Ho Chi Minh City, Cafe Apartment
@fndyfsoul
One of the cafe that visitor should visit, especially The Letter Cafe in Cafe Apartment. It has aesthetic vibes, a combination of 80's Dj lamp, french, and cool decoration. Definitely a worth place to enjoy your time. They also have a balcony where you can see clearly the Bitexco Financial Tower.

Bui Vien Walking Street
@fndyfsoul
Discover the night life in Ho Chi Minh City, Bui Vien Walking Street. a lot of varieties of Bar and Club is available here, promise the booze or the beer here is extremely cheap. Blend with the local to check their night life, but beware with your belonging cuz it's really crowded.
Be careful also with your behind's pocket, as someone might trying to squeeze your butt, in reality want to pickpocket your pocket's behind and you can't pull ur Uno reverse card cuz you don't know who did it

Ben Thanh Market

Bargain ability is a must here, they tend to incredibly mark up the price here. It's a good place to buy authentic souvenir from here that you can bring back to your country

Tan Dinh Church
@fndyfsoul
An Aesthetic church that located near the book street, make sure to come here on weekdays so you can explore more on the inside. It's too bad when I was coming here, it's on weekend. So I can just admire the church from the outside.

Affordable Stay (Da Nang)
D&c Hotel Da Nang
@fndyfsoul
This is a good place for stay, it has comfy bed and affordable prices, the views are great on the 6th floor but the staff could not speak english, so you need to be improvised a little bit with the body language.

Da Nang, Vietnam
My Khe Beach
@fndyfsoul
Tourists can chill at this beach while looking at the sunset, this is also a perfect place for surfing. Area nearby is consist of megabuilding that if you spend a long time at night on this beach you will see everything like a semi cyberpunk city.

Sơn Trà Marina
@fndyfsoul
A greek themed cafe that actually pretty fit with type of people that like to chill. But, I don't recommend to come to this place on the afternoon while it's hot (No AC, just a lot of Fan). Prefer to come to this place before sunset or in the early morning so you can enjoy this to the fullest. The food quite expensive compare to other places, there is a harbor located nearby but too many boats, so if you think you can get a clean shot without this boat, it'll be quite difficult.

Chợ Đêm Sơn Trà
@fndyfsoul

Ba Na Hills
@fndyfsoul
It takes 45 minutes ride to go to this place via shuttle bus. Order in Klook for tickets that include the shuttle bus.
!important notes!
- If you want to free roam around in Ba Na hills, you can buy the ticket without the guide tour, but still included shuttle bus for round trip.
The meeting point will be nearby area of My Khe Beach, so you can take that advantage as well after you return from Ba Na Hills.
P.S : the tour will be started on 9am, and then you will be back to hotel on 4pm.
Highly recommendation of Ba Na Hills :
1. Golden Bridge (Super Crowded), but you can walk further toward the end to find more quiet places
2. French village (a lot of show is happening here, take chances to see and enjoy)
3. Rollercoaster ride, its a long queue but definitely worth it
