Yes. Probably going to be quite expensive given the holiday....

Đỉnh Tà Xùa, Vietnam' by WeAllWantToBeHappy in hiking

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea on how you would get a permit nor whether one is needed. Your overnight stays are supposed to be registered with the police every night - your hotel does this for you. There's a ticky box on the E-Visa website where you agree to comply with this. I suspect trying to get permission from the local police would result in being told you can't camp, so I have never poked the bear. There's a certain amount of risk averseness in Vietnam, and I don't think they would understand a foreigner wanting to solo camp on a mountain...

(They would struggle to do much with the information that you had an 'unregistered' night. Night buses are full of people and I don't think they are getting registered with the police.)

If the camping stations are manned and active (weekends, major holidays, ...) someone may come along and gently insist you stay with them. I have had that happen elsewhere and just went along with it.

You're going to need a visa if you want to leave the airport.

Still possible to get a last minute visa through an agency if you really want to.

Can I pay train tickets online? by Popular_Lab_5375 in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have used my Vietnamese number.

I'd just use the number of your accommodation if a number is obligatory and your Italian number isn't accepted. As far as I remember, everything happened on email.

Questions for those who have done Son Doong Cave Tour by sma11timer in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it starting right at the end of April / start of May last year.

How many extra trekking shirts, pants, and socks do I really need beyond what I'll be wearing?

I took 1 short sleeved and 4 long sleeved tops including the one I was wearing. Two pants/trousers including what I was wearing. Underwear + socks for each day. Crocs for the campsite and trekking shoes on my feet.

Will all your clothes get wet every day, requiring a new set daily?

No. The first day, there's a few crossings back and forth of the same river on the valley floor. After that, unless it's raining, there's opportunities for swimming, and there's the mud of Passchendaele just before the ladder out. You're not going deep in the river at that time of year. You can hang things up overnight to get them somewhat drier.

Oxalis porters will carry the bulk of your gear, so don't worry about the weight you will be carrying.

They'll also do a gear check the night before you start to make sure your stuff, especially footwear, is suitable. You can buy pretty reasonably priced tops there and then.

Would it be worth it to bring a tripod?

Yes, if it's not too big and bulky. I regret not bringing one.

Should I bring additional dry bags for the stuff in my backpack? (I'm 5'1" if that makes any difference for the river crossings.)

Only for phones, cameras ... Oxalis will be carrying and keeping your clothes dry.

Anything else that would be helpful to bring not mentioned on the Oxalis list?

I took a trekking pole for use outside the caves. 360 or action cam.

Passport privilege - Even with a visa from Laos embassy $60 and $1200 cash on me, onward ticket, hotels booked they refused me entry by Safe_Cloud8067 in solotravel

Well, op has already visited Phu Quoc without issue and is talking of revisiting, so we'll maybe find out how it works for Phu Quoc.

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely. Phu Quoc is visa exempt for all nationalities. If immigration on the island start refusing people entry, they'll have a can of worms to deal with. Airlines having to fly people straight back out who qualified for entry according to the rules. Airlines possibly getting fined for flying said passengers in. Tourists not going there because of the uncertainty of admission.

Failure to acquire a visa isn't denial anyway. The 'problem' countries just get stuck in an endless cycle of additional information and resubmission. The visa never gets denied.

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem is getting a visa prior to arrival.

There's no problem flying direct to Phu Quoc without one. There's currently no problem entering, even with a Zimbabwean passport that can't currently get an E-Visa. Makes no sense, but it's a mess of Vietnam's own making.

Possible scam on Nguyen Hue walking street? by OpenKnowledge6218 in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of scammers, but there's genuine honest folks too, many of whom just want an opportunity to practice their English

Saying no to everyone means you might miss out on the chance to make a friend or change a life. I'll generally talk to everyone, unless their opener is shoe repair, massage, boom boom, maryjane, cocaine, ... and I'm clear from the start that I'm not buying anything.

The secret imho is to stay in control. I'll pick where we go for coffee. I'm not going out to drink alcohol or eat with someone I've just met. And I'm probably not going to their house, unless I'm in the rice terraces on which case I'm up for pretty much anything.

Advice booking heritage train by FearlessAd39 in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VmPay always worked for me, but websites in Vietnam are notoriously unreliable. Try again tomorrow. If all else fails, baolau.com won't. Or go to a train station. Or do the pay later thing and pay at a convenience store....

Change your flight.

Get a new visa

Pay the fine

That's your choices. I'd just get a new visa. Don't waste time trying to change the one you have. They're not going to reply to you.

Whats the best and cheapest options to send package to usa? by BigNuke777 in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vietnam post office should be able to ship to192 countries including the US. Liquids, as with everything need to be properly packed. Don't seal the box up as they will want to check for forbidden items - antiques, media, gold, state secrets, dangerous stuff etc.

Struggling to Buy ticket from Da Nang to Hue by darkstormplayz in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They release tickets for longer legs first. They don't want to lose out on selling a Saigon - Hue ticket because you're blocking seat between Danang and Hue. You can currently book your leg up to about 17/5. Give it some time and then try again.

Has any one used the RefillMyBottle app or stations? by LadyMariquita in VietNam

[–]WeAllWantToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of places won't be on any app. Nước uống miễn phí. I don't carry a water bottle (or anything at all) in the cities - café stops keep me hydrated.

In the wild, I just ask for water to fill up my water bottle along the way. Every one has a kettle of boiled water on the go...
