  1. Wow Vietnam is beautiful, after watching your video I feel like going there right now .

  2. Vietnam looks so much fun. Also people seems so friendly. I am 99% happy for you Phoebe that you are visiting these amazing places 🙂 But I have to admit I am 1% jealous tooo cuz I wish I could be in all those places.

  3. That cruise looked just idyllic. The boad and the scenery looks so good. That is something really special to see. As a weird aside, I once saw a Chinese man wearing a cooly hat tilling his field traditional style about 10 miles outside Belfast. That doesn't happen much here in agriculture.😂

  4. Hello Phoebe, Another great clip, thank you for sharing. May U ask you a question, you mentioned in your clip about eSim card, if I want to make some local phone call , what can I do ? I love also when you bear the cone hat ( we call nón lá ). Thanks

  5. Ha, I would love to do the tea plantation thing but I’ve seen some vloggers coming across snakes 😮 ha, had to scratch that! I know, it’s a random occurrence but enough for me to skip 😂

  6. Riding side saddle on the back of a scooter in Vietnam !!! You're a pro now 🙂

  7. Doing the North in July and have been watching a lot of videos in preparation, so THANK YOU for this Phoebe!!!

  8. Another fantastic video…. we were there in December and you are so right in saying, it’s the people and their stories and especially coming from Australia we know more about the Vietnam war being in our lifetime….. the vietnamese are so beautiful and welcoming…… Vietnam is a very humbling country……❤

  9. You are such a good content creator and story teller, I like your videos. I feel there is so much to learn from other content creators.

  10. Miss Phoebe: Thanks you so much for visiting Ha Long Bay, Vietnam this gone weekend to shows those amazing places on the streets in peace March of 2025❤❤❤

  11. Miss Phoebe: Welcome to Ha Long Bay, Vietnam to shows those amazing places on the streets in peace this gone weekend in peace March of 2025❤❤❤

  12. That trip looks amazing. There is nothing like talking to locals. When we were in South Korea we got talking to a man who asked where were we staying, we said Seomyeon, and he said it means restful village or place of rest. We were in Busan at that stage

  13. I like your video about ha long bay hanoi. I never thought that hanoi they have a bay like this it's very beautiful bay… Just making more videos in hanoi… And take care yourself. 👍❤️

  14. Glad to see you back in Vietnam. I met you last year on our last night on the Ha Giang Loop. I'm back to do it again this Friday!
