    My wife and I first went to Vung Tau in Dec 2000 staying at Back Beach near Sammy's Hotel. We returned several times last visiting there in 2010. I remember it was much longer walking up the statue than I had expected so you give good advice. Your video brings back fond memories and also shows some changes. Weekends were much more crowded with day trippers from HCM city so I recommend staying there on weekdays if possible. Hoping to go back for a visit next year and stay at Front Beach.

    Hi Ryan and Emily, thanks once again for showing us various parts of Vietnam. My family and I have yet to set foot in Vietnam but now we got a much better idea which city to stay, places of interest, food to look out for and how much to budget for. All thanks to The Snails Traveller. ❤
  • @Swampzoid
    I would visit there. I visited northern Vietnam before but would love to see the south. I appreciate your father's service.
  • @moonlambo5229
    Great video thanks so much for taking the time to make it. I think I will make Vungtau my new home!
  • @brentt8590
    Glad I found your channel. Thanks for visiting Vietnam. Keep up The great work. Look forward to seeing mang more of your exciting adventures
  • @keithhodgson6489
    Another great video - it's almost like being there. Thank you.
  • What an interesting video! I have never heard of this place, and it was very cool to see what is available close to HCMC. I really found the stuff with your Father super interesting as well. It is remarkable how many of that generation spent time fighting in the War in Vietnam. Thanks again for another great video.
  • @mail4tung
    Vung Tau is home town and where I was born. After the Vietnam war my family move to the U.S and living here since. I love Vung Tau, thanks for video my hometown.
  • @KhakiShorts
    Looks like an interesting side trip from HCMC. Love that Emily found her kitchen namesake.
  • @Val-T.
    That's a nice destination! We missed it when we stayed in Southern Viet Nam, but now I want to go back and visit! Thanks for the video as always :)
  • @trainingday6858
    Good, tightly edited video, to the point. I had you on 1.3x speed, but one of the better youtube holiday posts, eschewing shots of airports, elevators and hotel rooms
  • I would love to go up into the arms of the Christ statue!! I bet that would be such a cool experience! Thanks for sharing 😊
  • @Giftedtib
    Quality video. Vung tao is my birthplace. I will return one day soon
  • @lynnquach688
    WOw, thank you for your good review. I was born and raise there until studying abroad and living in Amsterdam now. Out of the trash issue cuz it’s a part of “Vietnamese culture” (😅srr motherland), I proud to recommend that VT is the most lovable city if you have a chance to stay longer.
  • @markb3628
    Great video, but let me correct a few things. I've lived in Vung Tau for 5+ years. The temperature doesn't average in the 90's year round. It is only that hot for 6 months of the year. 6 months of the year, it's in the low to mid 80's. Average monthly rent is between $300 to $400, plus utilities. There are several VIP van services that take you or picks you up directly to or at the airport.
  • The back beach has calm and blue clear water during the summer months. Whereas front beach is nice from dec to april..
  • @travelrefocused
    We plan to visit Southern Vietnam next year. Fortunately, the 90 day visa is available so we can visit several destinations during that time. It's great to get some ideas about where to visit other than Saigon. I also appreciate your recommendations for transportation from place to place. Safe travels guys.
  • @lisaluu8561
    We are Vietnamese American living in Silicon Valley in the last 45 years. We plan on retiring in Vũng Tàu ❤
  • @thepunkster
    Amazing video. Will spend 2 weeks in February as part of my sabbatical there. Any chance you could recommend me a website for the boat trip? Will arrive around 8PM local time so would like to find some options to get down to VT.
  • @vaibhav3886
