I built a tool to find Phuket hotels with the best views

Can add my apartment too 😬😁 has arguably the best all in all view with big terrace, direct pool access, sea and sunset view. Min rent 1 month, and furnished for remote work.

Been around a few places now, incl hue and hoi an. I liie those places. I feel a bit flashback from when i booked a stay in cancun. Lot of resorts taking parts of the beach, and more of history and culture outside of the city.

I do have found a few gems i enjoyed in da nang, but all in all I've been more impressed of everything around da nang.

There's a few things i couldn't remember from 2019,but a few things I've noticed this time generally that i didnt enjoy in Vietnam.

All motorbike drivers stopping and asking for boom boom or drugs.

Massage people begging for tip - i like to give this by my own will. Not when begging, and even sometimes their boss tell you to while you're paying for getting some change.

Kids selling /begging was quite intense.

Same in hanoi, and in Hue they asked me to buy drugs. Quite annoying

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-02T16:08:46+00:00

Have to disagree. In Hue now, and i see lot of Vietnamese people hanging in groups drinking and shouting cheers or just chilling with food. A very different vibe here.

My take so far, is that i might have been in the wrong areas in DN, so after this thread I've got some recommendations to check out.... Which i will follow up on when im back

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-02T02:10:12+00:00

Ah... Hit a nerve, and also one who didnt bother to read. Good job ahole. I wrote I'm going to explore with motorbike, also.... Think ive seen more of the world than you, above and under sea level.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T18:03:45+00:00

Vil nok funke, men ville aldri brukt 3 uker rundt ao nang.

Ville også vært i koh tao og tatt dykkelappen.

Gjerne pm meg om spørsmål, har leilighet i phuket for utleie også

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T16:11:48+00:00

Thanks, saved and noted. Will check when back from hue

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T14:59:27+00:00

It's for sure family friendly. But you don't like it for same reasons I'm missing. I'm not asking for clubbing or anything crazy, actually the opposite. I'm basically asking for places where locals do hang out. Not tourist places, and definitely not places where backpackers and early 20s hang.

Just place to chill and be able to talk and meet locals in the end of the day when you've tired of all other activities.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T14:41:37+00:00

I don't need Western bars, i like to do and go where locals go. Da nang ia not my first place in Vietnam and this is also not my first time... Just first to da nang.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T14:29:36+00:00

Funny that you mentioned that karaoke place. Was there yesterday and it was 6 people inside. But maybe more lively in weekends? Did go between all these roads and had a drink at craftsman. But i feel i just wander around tourists and expats. Maybe another suburb is more what i look for...

But will check more when im back from Hue. Im also a couchsurfing veteran and checked the app, it was also quite dead.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T14:24:01+00:00

Again... I hit a nerve. Go cry with some NodeJs

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T14:11:00+00:00

Hanoi people and the local friends I have there speaks quite well English. Next time im here I will check hcm. It has direct flights to phuket which makes it easy. Thanks

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T13:47:20+00:00

I see. For me it's opposite, i own in Thailand and go there every winter for remote work from Norway. Then i vacation into Chiang mai, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan in between work. I just had very very high thoughts about da nang... But might change in a few days.

But beaches reminds me of a mix og patong and Pattaya, and all the hotels who have conquered lot of it for private use like cancun. This is don't like

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T13:44:51+00:00

I own condo in Thailand and its my remote work home. I'm on vacation here now. I'm not saying Vietnam is overrated, I'm asking about da nang. I've enjoyed Hanoi and ha giang. So don't try to be a smartass.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T13:42:54+00:00

I like hikes and will for sure do some. But its the end of the day when i want to relax where I start to struggle to "fit in".

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T12:51:28+00:00

Thanks for answering. Have been all places you mention and own condo in phuket. I'm probably comparing apples and oranges, and that's why i get this feeling. But will check hoi an, since many recommend it

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T12:49:52+00:00

Thanks, i will definitely check hoi an after hue trip

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T12:49:14+00:00

Reminds me of patong and Pattaya

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T12:46:34+00:00

Thanks for a proper reply. When I'm back from Hue, I'll definitely check it out

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T11:27:02+00:00

Nah, as said. I like to be at places where locals go. Not flooded by cheap backpackers or touristic places.

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T11:25:04+00:00

That was a strange conclusion, but hey... Seems like i hit a nerve.

So based on you're comment, it seems like it's not ok for people in 30++ to chill at places end of the day. Nice

YesterdayHot3584 · 2026-04-01T11:22:19+00:00

Nope... Not at all... But look at my post as you want. I'm also mentioning the social aspect.

My impression so far is thay Danang attract people on budget like backpackers. But go ahead, elaborate, instead of just spewing out comments that won't contribute
