Man..you're making me miss Vietnam. Might have to go back - I only went for the legit massage and for 10bucks and it was one of the best.
I heard Grab is pretty good too, but I used uber when I was there as well.

Use google translate app and download the language. If your single you can use tinder to pick up girls too since they love foreigners.
People recommend doing the karaoke thing where they drink with you and do whatever depending on the tip but I didn't get to experience that.
If you smoke, cigarettes are cheaper in Vietnam then duty free. If you like Belmont the closest smoke I found was mevius blue aka mild sevens.
Someone here should know where to get custom tailored suits for $100.
I got a 5 piece for $200usd from Thailand. Coat vest pants shirt tie, cashmere with silk lining. The cheaper material can be bought at $100usd per suit. From what I hear from Vietnamese friends it should be similar pricing.
Night market in Ho Chi Minh has good deals on under armour fakes shirts and beaters lol, 70k.
Wear sunscreen, I got raped scootering around.
Prague hotel in Ho Chi Minh is pretty nice but it's like 50 dollars a night no window, excellent air conditioning, 47inch samsung smart tv and roof top pool. It's walking distance to sense underground mall as well to bui vein backpackers street. Try the restaurant around there called baozi, everything is delicious there and they have a hot wing challenge there for 250k where your picture is placed on the wall win or lose haha.
Leathermen.vn is located in Ho Chi Minh that has some crocodile, ostriche and cow hide leather clothing bags and belts. If someone can hook me up with a brown crocodile belt from there that would be nice. Don't forget to lowball. 600k belts can go for 350k for the cowhide. So the 1.2m crocodile belts can probably go for 650k-800k around depending on your low balling skills.
There's a jollibee in Hanoi for anyone interested. They have good street food with good selection of seafood at the night market. There's a street where it's all toys for kids. I also experienced my first time doing nitrous balloons there. The local people aren't as friendly here, like talking to the people fishing at the lakes only to ignore you lol.
Hanoi to ha long bay is 4 hour van ride. 2 hours to washroom and store that also sells marble, then another 2 hours to the boat. Don't get owned like me where I had to beg the driver to stop so I could take a shit, having the other passengers telling him to stop. Takes me to a gas station with no toilet and ended up shitting in a field squatting and mooning people off the highway, as our tour group laugh their asses off haha. A tour everyone will remember. Keep in mind what you eat the day before the long haul to ha long bay lol.

For SGN, it should cost about ~150,000VND from the airport to District 1/3/Saigon Pearl

There are a few places called Cocobay, if you are talking about the huge resort in Da Nang then that would be a big no.

Question for those who've been, what's the insect repellent you guys used that WORKS?
Also, would you guys suggest getting shots before travelling?
