 19,94

Backpacking Vietnam – Pho, Motorbikes & Budget Adventures from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam is a backpacker’s dream: hauntingly beautiful rice terraces, emerald limestone karsts, bustling megacities, serene pagodas, white-sand beaches, war history, and some of the most delicious street food on the planet – all at prices so low you’ll think you’re dreaming. This comprehensive budget travel guide is your essential companion for navigating Vietnam safely, affordably, and authentically.

From the chaotic charm of Hanoi’s Old Quarter and the magical limestone seascape of Ha Long Bay to the ancient lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, the imperial citadels of Huế, the modern energy of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), and the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta, this book covers over 220 hostels, budget hotels (nhà nghỉ), homestays, street food stalls, free attractions, and money-saving hacks. Each destination includes detailed information on bus and train routes (including the famous Reunification Express), open-tour buses, motorbike rental tips (including the legendary Hai Van Pass), domestic flights, estimated daily costs (as low as
15

15–30 per day), safety advice for solo travelers (including tips for women), and the best seasons to visit (monsoon and typhoon warnings included).

You’ll also discover insider tips on eating like a local (phở, bánh mì, bún chả, cà phê sữa đá for under $2), crossing the street in Hanoi and Saigon like a pro, avoiding tourist traps, haggling at local markets, navigating Vietnam’s sleeper bus and train system, motorbiking the entire country on a budget, and extending your trip to Laos, Cambodia, or China. With dedicated sections on packing for Vietnam’s diverse climates (north, central, and south), staying healthy (food safety, mosquito protection, and motorbike accident prevention), respecting local customs and war history, and learning basic Vietnamese phrases for travel, this guide is perfect for first-time backpackers, solo female travelers, motorbike adventurers, and seasoned explorers alike.

Xin chào – Vietnam is calling. Experience it the budget way.
