Greetings! I'm back with another trip, and this time, it's a suicidal one! Just kidding! This trip will take us to Vietnam. It all started unintentionally, with confusion and a moment of weakness. While browsing the web, I stumbled upon a VietjetAir flight from Bangkok to Hanoi (roundtrip) for 0 baht! I couldn't resist and booked it right away. And that's how this trip came to be. Let's get ready for our Vietnamese adventure!

This time we went to northern Vietnam. I've actually been there before, both for leisure and work. But!! On previous trips, I was scammed and cheated.

Deeply hurt, this pain will last for a long, long time. But will I learn from it?

No! This time, I have a mission: I will not be cheated!

Get ready!

Begin!

1. The city we will visit this time is...

Hanoi - Sapa

Vietnam's currency is the Vietnamese đồng. A simple conversion is 10,000 đồng = 16 Thai baht. (US dollars are also accepted.)

The primary mode of transportation within the country is the motorcycle. However, for longer journeys, taxis, buses, and trains are also available.

Four things to remember when crossing the road here: 1. Do not back up once you start crossing. 2. Just keep walking, don't stop. 3. Cars will swerve to avoid you. 4. People here honk their horns a lot, so don't be surprised.

Five electrical outlets, identical to those found in our homes, eliminating the need for any adapters.

Most internet cafes offer Wi-Fi, but if you're worried about speed, consider renting a pocket Wi-Fi from Tripizee in Thailand. They offer excellent signal coverage.

If you are worried about being scammed while traveling alone, you can purchase a tour package. There are many options available. In my case, I happened to know Siam Viet Travel, so I asked them to handle the arrangements. They can communicate in Thai, which made me feel at ease.

Beware of scams! Stay vigilant, double-check everything, and be well-prepared.

Let's go to Vietnam now!!

Day 1 BKK- Hanoi - Sapa
Before leaving, we picked up the pocket wifi we had booked from Tripizee at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The Tripizee booth is located on B1 floor, near the exit to the Novotel hotel. It's easy to find.

The Wi-Fi router rental fee is approximately 150 baht per day. However, we received it for free this time. Thanks to tripizee!

The advantages include home delivery or pick-up at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The equipment provided includes the device itself, a charging cable, a universal adapter, and a user manual. Additionally, if there are any signal problems, you can contact the staff for assistance via Line@.

This time we are traveling with VietjetAir.

which VietjetAir

This round, I got a 0 baht promotion for 1 trip, so I saved a lot on travel expenses.

Including tax, the ticket price is 3,199 baht.

Purchased a long time ago, so long that I forgot. I told you I was possessed! 5555

The flight departs at 3:30 PM and arrives in Hanoi in approximately 1.5 hours.

VietjetAir frequently offers promotions for flights to Vietnam, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hai Phong.

This trip, we're starting with matching outfits. How's that for cheesy?

Well, it's to match the name of the trip, of course.

Upon arrival at the airport, it was already evening, and the sky was dark. There are three ways to get to Hanoi city center. Choose the one that best suits your needs.

1. We immediately ruled out taxis due to the risk of meter tampering.

2. Mini vans cost around 3-4 USD, depending on the distance to the hotel. The van will make multiple stops along the way to drop off other passengers.

3. Local Bus: The preferred choice for the affluent! This option takes approximately one hour and offers a relaxed journey. Disembark at the Hanoi Railway Station bus stop.

Only 30,000 dong per person, which is about 48 baht.

The bus we boarded was route 86, which runs from the airport to the city center. I'm not sure what routes other people took, but this one was very easy to find and incredibly convenient.

A Vietnamese acquaintance recommended a car that will travel directly from the airport, across Long Bien Bridge, passing significant landmarks and the train station.

The bus stop is very easy to find. As soon as you exit the terminal, turn left and you will pass a taxi stand. The bus stop is on the other side of the road, so cross the street and you can get on the bus.

The interval between each bus is approximately 15-20 minutes.

The interior of the bus has Wi-Fi, similar to buses in our country, but not as fast. This is a picture I took on the way back, so the lighting is not consistent.

We want to write the content in a sequential order so that anyone who wants to travel according to the content can easily find information. How kind is Gwin, right? Hehe

Upon arriving at the train station, we met with Fa, who had purchased our train tickets. The kind-hearted Fa asked Gwin, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat pho."

The local flavor is amazing. It's a chicken pho, and I noticed that most street vendors sell chicken pho for 30,000 dongs.

This is better. The menu item "เหมียนโซ๊" is a glass noodle dish with a salty and savory flavor. It's quite unique. The price is 35,000 dongs.

After finishing our meal, we received our tickets from Ms. Fa and went our separate ways. It was incredibly hot, and I was eager to take a shower before our overnight train journey to Sapa. Gwin, are we sitting or sleeping on the train?

Standing bewildered in front of the train station, I suddenly noticed a sign for the Mango Hotel. This was the solution I needed: a place to shower.

Confused, I headed to the lobby to inquire. The receptionist, with a blank expression, informed me that the cost was 60,000 dong each. After a moment of calculation, I realized it was close to 100 USD. "Alright, then," I thought, "let's do it!"

We traveled to Sapa by train. There is another option, which is a sleeper bus, which is cheaper than the train at around 250,000 VND. However, we decided to take the train.

The child can sleep comfortably for a long time. The air conditioning is cool, and there are plugs to charge the battery. Oh! The child is very comfortable.

The train has two types: government and private. The private train costs around 30-40 USD depending on the company. If you want a cheaper option, the government train costs 18 USD (400,000 VND).

The same level of comfort to reach the destination at the same time.

Note: If you find it inconvenient to book yourself, you can have an agent do it for you. For example, I had Siamviettravel book my tickets and then arranged to pick them up.

The train to Sapa is like this: the compartments are tightly packed, and there are locks on the doors, so you don't have to worry.

The train carriages are divided into separate compartments, each with two bunk beds on either side, for a total of four beds. There are also cheaper options available.

The 1 room 6 bed type is 3 floors on each side. Oh my, Gwin doesn't want to think about it. The first night on the sleeper train, there is no dining car. Stock up on food to eat.

Food vendors will be available almost all night, so don't worry about going hungry.

Day 2 SAPA
We took the train from Hanoi to Laocai, departing at 22:30 and arriving at 7:00 am.
Upon arrival, everyone needs to be alert!
Because as soon as we get off the train, people will swarm us, shouting "bus!" and "mini van!"
It's like, "Wow, I'm so beautiful, I feel so wanted!"
But anyway, we chose to go with an aunt who had been selling tickets on the train since before it even reached Laocai.
We figured that since she was able to get on the train, she probably wouldn't cheat us. I don't know what kind of logic that is, haha.

The price for a Mini Bus is 50,000 dong. I've checked with other sellers and the price seems to be the same.

The hotel offers this price. So, if anyone offers a higher price, don't go!

Lao Cai is about an hour's drive from Sapa. We arrived in Sapa at 8:00 AM.

Upon arrival, we searched for accommodation. The hotel we stayed at was called Phuong Nam Hotel.

Find it on Booking.com. Great price, amazing view. Let's just say it's a place that costs a thousand baht but the view from the room is worth millions.

Secured a room deal for 1,116 baht per night, including breakfast. The room has a connecting balcony where you can step out and enjoy the view.

Upon arrival, the room was not yet ready for check-in. However, the staff kindly allowed us to leave our luggage in a designated storage room and offered us access to a shower facility. Their hospitality was truly appreciated.

The day's journey began around 9:30 am. Feeling hungry, I wandered around looking for something to eat and ended up at a pho restaurant again. 5555

This time, I ordered pork noodle soup and an additional order of grilled pork. It was delicious.

This hand cost 170,000 baht. Why does it feel a bit expensive? =.,= Eating rice costs hundreds of thousands.

Oh, but that's about 270 baht in Thai currency. Hmm, that's expensive. Haha.

We intend to rent a motorbike and drive to various tourist spots. Initially, we inquired at the hotel if they offered motorbike rentals.

Unfortunately, the hotel's car was unavailable, so they suggested we walk to the square instead.

Upon arriving, I noticed parked motorcycles. Initially, it was unclear whether they were available for rent.

However, the owner of the motorcycle taxi stand (what should I call her? Let's just call her the owner of the stand)

They saw us carrying a backpack and a camera, and they immediately rushed towards us.

That's definitely the sound of a motorbike!

We inquired about the price and finalized a rental fee of 5 USD.

Initially, the hotel informed us that we were responsible for refueling the vehicle. However, there was only one gas station available.

While riding in a minivan, I noticed a very long queue of cars waiting to refuel. I asked my aunt if she had any gasoline.

"Auntie said, 'Yes, I have it!' and then held up a gallon of oil. Well, I gave in. Auntie charged me an extra 3 dollars for a full tank of oil."

At that time, I forgot to think that I shouldn't have filled the tank. I didn't use that much, but it's okay. It's already passed.

Our first stop was Fansipan. The roads in Sapa are quite narrow, so drive carefully.

Drivers in this country tend to be rather... how can I put it politely and appropriately for broadcast? Well, let's just say their driving can be quite hair-raising.

The route involves steep ascents and descents, with numerous curves and slopes. It requires a skilled driver, hence the recommendation.

After running for a while, I came across this roundabout, which means I'm almost there.

The sky is very clear today, with clouds moving extremely fast. They must be in a hurry to complete their rounds.

Fansipan

Fansipan is now open to tourists and just opened its cable car in early 2016. It's very new!

It seems to be owned by the same company that built Danang Hill, which we reviewed in this post:

[Spoil] Click to view hidden text

https://www.facebook.com/pg/tidsoihoytam/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1069349529825716

Mount Phasi Pan is a popular destination for hikers, offering a challenging 2-3 day trek to the summit. However, the recent introduction of a cable car makes it accessible to those with limited time or physical ability.

The cost of the Cable Car to the mountain is 600,000 dong per person, which is approximately 960 baht. This is more expensive than the entrance fee to Dream World!

It only took 15 minutes to reach the summit. Easy!

The cable car here is incredibly large, with an estimated capacity of 20 people based on visual observation.

The cable car ride offers stunning views like this.

If it were the rainy season, it would be lush and green, wouldn't it? <3

Upon exiting the cable car, you will encounter souvenir shops and restaurants. However, the mountain peak is still ahead.

You must climb a very steep staircase, I repeat, very steep! Walk for another 600-700 steps, my friend!!!

It appears that a funicular railway is under construction near the cable car station, providing access to the vicinity of the mountain peak. The anticipated opening date is yet to be determined.

After an hour-long arduous climb, we finally reached the summit.

"That couple, I'm so annoyed by them, aren't I? /chuckles"

While taking the photo, I set up the tripod and timer, secretly fearing someone would snatch the camera and run away. Thankfully, that didn't happen, and I was relieved!

It took a full hour to walk, and I wasn't feeling well. As we ascended, I found it difficult to breathe, which slowed us down considerably.

Fansipan is the highest mountain in Vietnam, known as the "Roof of Indochina," with an elevation of 3,143 meters.

Everyone is ready to wave the flag, it's almost here!

We have arrived.

This is incredibly good! I typed so much that my hands hurt.

The scenery was breathtaking. The air was pleasantly cool on the day we visited, and the clouds drifted by swiftly, creating the sensation of being among them.

This could be an advantage of visiting during the winter, as some people who come during the rainy season experience heavy fog.

Every moment holds its own unique beauty.

Our hearts are full of joy, and now our stomachs are starting to rumble with hunger.

Initially, I planned to eat at a street food stall, playing it by ear. However, I couldn't resist and decided to eat here instead. Let's fill our stomachs first.

Two more glasses of lime soda with this fried chicken set will cost you 172,000 dongs.

After lunch, we continued our journey on motorbikes, heading towards Silver Water Falls.

Along the way, there were many photo spots. For example, this picture:

Upon arriving at the waterfall, we were forced to pay a 10,000 dong parking fee. It seemed that as soon as we parked, we had to pay.

There are fruits for sale around here. If you're hungry, buy some to satisfy your cravings.

The entrance fee is 20,000 dong per person.

Behold, the magnificent Silver Waterfall, a cascading marvel of nature.

The waterfall is incredibly tall. I could see its height even while riding my motorbike. I imagine it would be breathtaking during the rainy season, with its cascading water and lush surroundings.

After we finished walking and looking at the waterfall, we returned to the city because the sky was already dark.

Unfamiliar with the route, fearing potential danger.

Another matter is to check in and renegotiate the car.

We only rented the car for one day, and there was still a full tank of gas left. We were a bit stingy, so we...

Having planned to use a motorbike again the next day, I negotiated to leave my car overnight for an additional 6 USD.

"Auntie, why did you add another coin? And then you bargained for a long time. In the end, I had to pay because I felt sorry for the gas."

After agreeing on the fare, we drove around looking for a restaurant to eat at near the lake. The atmosphere was amazing.

Locals recommend trying hot pot or barbecue when visiting Sapa.

Alright, we'll follow your instructions. Bring it on!

We opted for a restaurant near the central square, which was bustling with people, hence our choice.

Barbecue is where we choose the ingredients and they grill them for us, then they serve it to us.

Today's order includes a hot pot set for two and approximately eight barbecue skewers, accompanied by two bottles of beer.

Losses amounted to 550,000 dong.

After a satisfying meal, they returned to stargazing, their heads resting on each other's shoulders. They then retired for the night, recharging for the adventures that awaited them the next day.

Day3 SAPA-HANOI
Morning~ The weather is beautiful today, and the morning sun is so beautiful.

This morning, I had breakfast at the hotel. The pancakes were delicious.

Initially, I was confused, thinking that the village name "Catcat" meant "cat" in English.

"I asked a man if there were a lot of cats in his village and he yelled at me. Ugh."

I came across a windmill with a good angle on the way, so I stopped to take a picture.

Cat Cat Village

A renowned village in Sapa, a must-visit for most tourists, conveniently located near the town center.

The entrance fee is 50,000 dong. If you bring a motorbike, you will be charged an additional parking fee of 10,000 dong.

Along the paths within the village, there are stalls selling handmade goods such as woven fabrics and knitted bags. It is worth noting that this is a Hmong village.

This place has it all: hill tribe people, children, buffaloes, pigs, rice terraces, waterfalls, bridges, and a winding path.

Looking back at our journey, wow, it was a good thing we walked down. Sigh.

Despite the uphill climb, she insisted on driving me. I told her, "No!! I can walk!!" But she replied, "It's 2km away! No, Gwen, I'll drive!"

The actual distance is less than 2 kilometers. According to the map, it's about 1 kilometer.

You can walk if you have the energy. Don't take a motorbike, it's a waste of money!

The man said, "Let's take a picture together." Then he said, "It's just one picture, and I'm not going to edit it. Where's my face?"

He walked back to get his motorbike that he had parked, and then drove into town to find something to eat near the lake.

The lake looks beautiful during the day.

Seeing an ATM, I felt a sudden urge to withdraw some money. Curiosity got the better of me.

In summary, the button can be pressed easily, but there is a 100 Thai Baht fee. If you are concerned about having enough money, you can look for an ATM.

We were too lazy to walk around looking for a restaurant and were very hungry, so we just went to the first one we saw. It was a bit expensive, but the food was decent.

The order consisted of two dishes: fried fish with pineapple-infused tom yum soup and two plates of rice, accompanied by two cans of soda. The total cost amounted to 230,000 dong.

Farewell, Sapa, until we meet again.

This time, we bought tickets for the bus to Lao Cai and accommodation for the same price as the previous trip, 50,000 dong.

The hotel informed us that the car would depart at 5 pm. Checking the clock, we saw that we had some time to spare, so we decided to take a short walk around town.

The church is simple but beautiful.

Around 3:30 PM, we walked back to the hotel and showered in the communal bathroom.

We are preparing to take a train from Lao Cai station back to Hanoi.

The van took about an hour to reach Lao Cai. This is the van I rode in. It was comfortable, with spacious seats that didn't feel cramped.

The yellow vehicles are buses, another way to travel from Laga to Sapa. I don't know the price, as I didn't use this service.

We found a restaurant to eat rice. It turned out to be right next to the station. It was surprisingly delicious! The portions were huge too.

Two flat noodles stir-fried with meat, two bottles of beer, total cost 200,000 dong.

Tonight, we have chosen the Laocai – Ha noi train departing at 8:30 PM.

Arriving in Hanoi around 5:00 AM. Sleep in and continue exploring tomorrow.

Day 4: Hanoi - Ninh Binh
Today, we purchased a one-day trip from the agency to visit Tam Coc, also known as "Ha Long Bay on land" by Thai people.
We arrived at Hanoi Railway Station around 5:00 AM, feeling sleepy. As we walked out, we were swarmed by taxis.
Initially, a taxi driver offered a fixed price of 200,000 VND. We thought it was too expensive, considering the hotel was nearby. We declined and opted for a metered taxi. Big mistake! The meter ran incredibly fast, and we ended up paying 300,000 VND. Oh no, we shouldn't have done that!

Upon reaching the hotel, we were shocked to find it closed!
We've traveled extensively, but we've never encountered a closed hotel door. What the heck?!
We knocked on the door a few times, and someone finally opened it, looking sleepy.
Phew, we were saved.
We couldn't check in yet, so we left our luggage, freshened up, and prepared for our trip.
The agency instructed us to meet at the Opera House. We checked the map, and it wasn't far, so we decided to walk.

We arrived at the Hanoi Opera House, which is currently used as a venue for various musical performances and concerts. However, we arrived early in the morning.

It's not open yet, it's only 7 am. Let's find a place to eat first.

Wandering around the theater, I stumbled upon a roadside eatery that wasn't pho, but looked delicious. I was famished, so I decided to give it a try!

The dish resembles rice noodles, but thinner and less chewy. It comes with shredded chicken and pork meatballs. It's quite delicious and costs 35,000 dong per cup.

After finishing my meal, I had some time to spare. I noticed a coffee shop across the street and decided to stop by. Two cups of coffee cost 50,000 dong.

When it was time, we walked back to wait for the car to go sightseeing.

The pick-up vehicle was a small van, smaller than the one that travels between Lao Cai and Sapa.

Our one-day trip cost 20 USD (this is a promotional price that I was able to get; the regular price is 30 USD).

This price is

1. Round-trip transportation to Hanoi

2. Lunch cost

3. Activity fees (entrance fee to Hualue, boat ride along the canal, and bicycle rental)

We purchased our tickets through Siamviet Travel, and while I cannot confirm prices elsewhere, most sources indicate a starting price of 22 USD.

The one-day trip starts at 8:00 AM and returns to Hanoi around 7:00 PM.

The journey takes about 2 hours to reach the destination. However, ...

The car's tire is flat. Hellooooooooooo. That's the thing.

The map shows that the tourist attraction is 5 kilometers away. Why is that?

Fortunately, there were many men on this trip, so they helped each other change in 20 minutes. Phew, we made it!

And here we are at our first stop on today's list.

Hoa Lu served as the ancient capital of Vietnam.

Before moving to Hanoi, there was a very long history. The guide will tell you all about it. You will gain knowledge to enhance your prestige.

Having passed through the gate, let's begin our tour at the Dinh Temple.

According to the tour guide, this temple was built by Queen Doung Van Nga for her husband, King Dinh, the first king of the Dinh Dynasty.

An ancient temple that has undergone numerous renovations.

The second temple, not far from the first, is located on the right side. On the way, you will also pass by this kind of view.

Temple 2: Le Hwan Temple

(The Temple) is a temple built for the kings of the Le Dynasty. This temple is similar to the previous temple, but smaller.

After taking photos for a while, the guide called us back because it was time for lunch. Before getting on the bus, we also saw a mountain goat.

Lunch was a buffet, which we didn't take pictures of because we were very hungry.

I was so engrossed that I completely forgot about it. 555555

The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options available. After a satisfying meal, we continued our journey to Tam Coc, where we embarked on a scenic boat ride.

Or, as it is known in Thai, Ha Long Bay on land.

Small boats, accommodating 2-3 people, will take you on a scenic journey along the Ngo Dong River.

This is a pedal boat, meaning you literally pedal it. Check out the pictures! The rowers use their feet to pedal the oars instead of their hands. Every single boat is like this...so cool! Just looking at it makes me tired.

The view along the river is breathtaking, especially during the non-harvest season when the fields are filled with lush rice paddies.

Despite the absence of rice fields, the atmosphere remains pleasant. The sun is strong, but the cool breeze provides a sense of tranquility.

Uncle, move aside. I want to sit in the front. I want a hip style in the front and a cool style in the back.

After a tantrum to sit at the bow, I finally got some beautiful pictures like this.

The man said, "You're so beautiful." He turned around and said, "So beautiful, so beautiful." =.,=

The atmosphere was truly amazing. The water was incredibly clear, allowing us to see the seaweed below. Throughout the journey, there was always something to see, showcasing the beauty of nature at its finest.

A flock of egrets (are those egrets? haha) and mountains of varying sizes alternating with each other.

The total distance is approximately 7 kilometers. The boatman will take us through 3 caves (Hang Ca Cave, Hang Hai Cave, and Hang Ba Cave).

The rock formation hangs low, creating a fun and exciting experience.

After we had our fill of the scenery, the boatman took us back the way we came.

I like this place. The nature is very beautiful. Even though the weather was a bit hot when I went, the natural scenery completely offset the heat.

However, I would like to write a warning. Use this phrase: "As soon as you reach the end of the road, there will be merchant boats parked there. They will immediately paddle their boats alongside you."

She bought a drink for herself and then insisted on buying one for the boatman as well. I thought, "Well, okay, she's a beauty queen." I figured the boatman must have been tired, so she bought him one too.

Upon returning to the point of departure, the boatman requested an additional $1 tip. "Uncle," the passenger inquired, "don't you consider the water I just bought for you?"

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It contains personal information that I'm not supposed to share.

And the next activity, let's go cycling! This activity is optional.

You don't have to go, you can just sit and wait at the restaurant the tour arranged. But since you're already here, why not make the most of it?

The landscape on both sides of the road is rice fields. However, as you can see, the rice has been harvested, leaving only the stubble. Nevertheless, the view of the mountains is still beautiful.

At the end of the road where they let us cycle, there was a pagoda. At first, I was going to go in, but then someone asked me to pay ten thousand dong to park my bike. So, I just parked it here to take a picture. I'm not going in, and I'm not paying!

After taking a photo while straddling the bicycle, I rode it back to return it. Then, I took a car back to Hanoi.

Requesting a guide to pick me up and provide accommodation in the Old Quarter around 8:00 PM.

The tour was slightly delayed due to a minor incident. A tourist on our tour lost their wallet, causing a delay in our departure from Tam Coc.

The man was slapped on the head by a man next to him.

Have you told the story about the accommodation yet? Oh, I'm not sure yet. Haha.

Our Hanoi accommodation for tonight.

'Hanoi Amanda Hotel' is located near many tourist attractions. We booked it through Booking.com as usual.

The price is 728 baht per night. The room is spacious. The hotel is conveniently located. There is a 24-hour minimart across the street.

After tidying up the room, we headed out for a night of fun in Hanoi.

The Old Quartier is the heart of the city, offering a vibrant mix of dining, entertainment, and shopping experiences.

Accommodation options range from hostels to hotels, catering to various budgets. Find a place that suits your preferences and budget. Notably, today we will be visiting "Ta Hien" alley.

Don't miss out, guys and girls!! It's a hub that brings together restaurants, pubs, and bars. It's super lively, just like Khao San Road in our country.

The atmosphere here is amazing. You can sit on a chair, do laundry, and drink beer. They even have bar snacks! I don't dare post a picture, though, or my mom will see it and scold me. Hehe.

While we were eating, the police arrived. The road was initially narrow due to people sitting there. When the police arrived, everyone crowded into the shop.

I originally planned to have a barbecue, but I didn't want to eat too much, so I only ate this much. It was delicious.

This is crazy! Okay, that's it for today.

Day 5: Hanoi - Bangkok
Good morning! Today is our last day before returning to the real world.
The thought of going back to work makes me sad, but without work, there would be no money for travel. Let's keep going! T-T

We have a flight back today at 12:25 p.m.
We should arrive at the airport no later than 10:00 a.m. to be safe.
We plan to take some pictures of beautiful churches and have some trendy coffee before leaving.
We are carrying our luggage with us. Our strength and the help of the men make carrying luggage a breeze. 5555
Be careful when crossing this intersection. Behind us is the Highland Coffee shop, where many people like to relax and enjoy coffee with a high-angle view of Hanoi.

After a short walk, we arrived at St. Joseph Cathedral.

This morning, we stopped by 'Cong Caphe', which is right next to the church.

The store is decorated in an army green color scheme, with wooden furniture and items from the Vietnam War era. Even the staff are dressed in military-themed attire.

The recommended menu is coconut coffee, which is very fragrant. This menu is a perfect combination of strong coffee and fresh coconut water.

The croissant was incredibly fragrant and delicious, especially when dipped in condensed milk. The meal cost around 200 baht, but we don't remember the exact price.

After a satisfying meal, it was time to move on and head to the airport. We had to walk through...

Hoan Kiem Lake, also known as the Lake of the Returned Sword, is located in the heart of the city. To reach Noi Bai Airport, take bus number 86.

In fact, there are also popular tourist attractions at the lake. There is 'Ngoc Xuyen Pagoda / Ngoc Hill Pagoda' located on a small island, not in our picture.

We have already been here to work and film, so we won't be going in again. However, anyone else is welcome to go.

The structure in the picture is said to have been built as a dwelling for the giant softshell turtle, a legendary creature in Vietnamese folklore.

If you want to know, try reading it yourself. We won't tell you!

The iconic red bridge in the photo is the Huc Bridge, a wooden bridge known for its vibrant color. While we have a close-up photo, we've decided not to share it as we don't believe it does the bridge justice.

As we rode the bus, we passed the Long Bien Bridge, Hanoi's oldest steel bridge. Interestingly, it was designed by the same engineer who designed the Eiffel Tower. I learned this fact while researching for a project.

If you have time, take a leisurely stroll and take photos on the bridge. Oh, the bridge has a railway track in the middle, and it's still in use.

The lower section features a mosaic wall depicting Vietnamese history. If memory serves, it holds the Guinness record for being the longest of its kind.

If you have time, you should definitely go. It's a great place to visit.

The journey to the airport took approximately 45 minutes. We returned on VietjetAir as before.

This trip was very draining, but I got to see everything I wanted. It might have been tiring, but it was a lot of fun.

Thank you to my fellow travelers who dragged me through the entire trip. Love you all!

The cost is as follows. We think someone might be able to do it cheaper, but if you're going on a trip, go all out. Don't hold back, don't think too much. Really.

Thank you for reading this far.

We also have a page!! Let me sell you something!
