Thank you so much man, I will check it out! Many many thanks 🙏🙏

Hi Da Nang people,
Following up on pickleball! I've arrived and actually I'm staying next door to Sông Thu Pickeball. So if anyone is keen for a game, I'm basically available every day.
Reminder that I'm a pickleball virgin. Played padel once and I'm OK at squash, but basically a complete amateur.

Sorry for Da Nang specific content. I can't see where else to put this kind of message, but let me know if there's a better place (or even a chat on WhatsApp or something)

Hello everyone, I'm in HCMN and looking for place to stay. But I can't understand price is rising and now not season but city still living like crazy. Do you know why ? I'm curious about it.

Also if you have recommendations for private room stay 15m walking distance around Bui Vien it would be good. What is best way to find good deal?

I cannot understand why you would want to stay next to Bui Vien, as someone living here for a year. Bui Vien is the walking/drinking street in TP.HCM and will blast out your eardrums. It is nowhere near the volume levels of the red lights in Bangkok. It's also about as peak tourist area as one can find in the city, so sky high price is to be expected as Vietnam is currently having a huge tourism boom

Prices are still quite reasonable a much farther distance away from D1

Follow-up: they only can help from da nang unfortunately

We are same page, I don't wanna stay Bui Vien. I just want to close around because of networking. This is why I mentioned 15 minute walk distance okay for me

Ahhhh a units problem I read it like
m = meters
min = minutes

I'm not sure Vietnam truly has a peak season right now, it's more like peak year. Agoda is usually your friend in this part of Asia. Just don't AirBNB unless you're planning on staying at least 30 days. What is available is just what's available for that part.

If you have some flexibility there is also a rail system under construction, with one line solidly active, and the busses are pretty modern with Vingroup electrifying them. Grab is also quite cheap compared to other locations like Thailand, and significantly less scary speeds with helmets required by law. Significant walking is pretty rare as a primary form of transportation right now, but the city is trying to change that slowly

It’s low season here in Ho Chi Minh City now.

Hey, hope you had your first pickle ball game already, coming to Da Nang this 15th, could you share that group it would be great to connect

Hey guys. My name is Rebbeka and I'm from Brazil. Is US$1400 a month enough to live there?

sim

Dá pra viver bem? Ou no aperto?

Yes, it can technically afford a middle class life by Vietnamese standards. There are cheaper and more expensive areas.

Nice. Is it easy to get around using only English?

Hi!
For my doctoral dissertation, I would like to conduct interviews via Zoom about digital nomads. The interviews will be voice-only and will consist of several questions on the topic. Would anyone be willing to participate and help me with my research?

I prefer the title (temporary/transient) immigrant due to finding the DN term to have the air of a certain -ist to it. Does that still fit in line with who you are looking for?

İt is suitable for me

Hi Emrah, happy to help!

Thank u. My friend Will send u a message

Hey Nomads. Just arrived in Da Nang for a few weeks. Any cool events happening in the rest of August, let me know!

Any vibe coder in Da Nang building stuff in the morning in a coffee near Son Tra? I am building my project every morning from 9am-12pm, want to exchange knowledge/experience/feedbacks or just have a coffee. Let me know.

Thanks Markus. Will search up on FB

can i get a 1bhk room for 1 month for 200 dollars in Danag

Hello guys, I am writing for an urgent advice about a complicated situation: we are a family of 3, our visa was expiring on Sept 28, on Sept 26 we was about to leave the country, but 2 days before we realized that our daughter passport was expiring in less than 6 months, so we immediately contacted the italian embassy, and they provided a new passport on Sept 30. Then I went to immigration office to transfer the enter stamp from old to new passport. I got the passport back on oct 2, and on October 3 (yesterday) we was to the airport trying to leave with a 5 days overstay visa, and they didnt allowed us to leave the country. They said we need a visa extension first, so we missed 2 flight until now. Now our daughter's visa expires Wednesday, and we need to find an express way to get an extension for my wife's visa. Do you know about some trusted company that can help us sorting out this complex situation a very quick way?
We are based in da Nang

hey mino ,do you know any better place to stay in danang for 1 month

Wow, so strict now - for 5 days overstay. Sounds stressful.
Don’t worry - just takes a bit of time and money with the right agent

can you help me to arrange it

Yes. I had a flight ticket dated 2 days before visa expiration date, papers from embassy demonstrating the kid passport issue, a new passport stamped from immigration office in Hanoi, and even with all of this they denied us to leave.

Together with us there was a guy who had overstayed because his flight to Bangkok was canceled because of flood, denied also him and sent back to immigration office.

At the end I was there this morning with an interpreter used to help people with this kind of issues and now they are processing our case.

From what I understood, what they care about is not you, but the host who allowed you to stay with expired visa, they called mine in front of me

Yes, the laws have become stricter this year, and what was possible a year ago is now much stricter.

Wow, how long did the other guy overstay?

couple of days

Which laws have become much stricter this year? I can only find about similar issues like these 2 since October.

Helo dear all. Anyone in nha trang now, interested to meet up this evening?

Hey, anyone in Da Lat? (AI/vibecoding perhaps)

are places like da nang doable with public transportation or should i not bother?

Yes, I was in da nang a few weeks ago and it was fine with Grab. Usually, I drive in Ho Chi Minh and love it.
Have you never driven?

i don’t think i’d want to drive there and feel like they’re mostly made for scooters 😅

Just find a recommended driver to go to Bana Hills, Hai Van Pass, etc. Can split with others and is more fun!

Driving in Vietnam is not for the faint of heart, you have to learn to become a fish so to speak. The speeds are much lower than Thailand and helmets are enforced though, scooter taxi is much safer

Hi! can anyone recommend good coworking places in Hanoi? Also, if there's anyone that needs to work on US EST hours and know any of them is 24/7 open or open until late at night?

Hey guys, what is your experience during new years in HCMC ? Im considering coming for few weeks over the holidays. Are there public parties and fireworks in downtown maybe ?

A lot will be closed, stock up on groceries and stuff. The entire country is on pause to go visit grandma

Yes i meant western :)))

dating between nomads/expats is always hard

Hi! Is anyone in Ho Chi Minh City?

Hello, I am going to go to Ha Giang and I want to know where I can leave my luggage in Hanoi?
