Short break in Danang

[Henrie]

Do they rip you off?

Do they rip you off?

Probably no more than anywhere else you have tourists,

Next day we were of to Bana hills resort, a short ride from Danang

BANA HILL
A colonial French hill station established in 1919 where you can ascend the tropical forest from a non stop cable car the longest and highest of its kind in the world.(over 5km long) and visit a faux european style castle on top of a mountain,

Will post more of that strange place later

[phukitbound]

Brings back memories, BLD. I never got to Danang. I like that dragon bridge. Looks like good times...

I did spend time in Hoi An, and north of there for a month. Vietnam has great beaches, but I find the people will rip you off with extra hidden fees.

You must of met this guy?

Not that one specifically.. rip ya off?
Handsome son there.
Did you make it to Hoi An? A real quaint place where you feel like you've stepped back in time. Easy to ride bicycles around.

here we go





Are we there yet

[beerlaodrinker]

Not really what one would expect to find on top of a mountain in asia

[Loy Toy]

You and Crocman have made my morning mate.

Two great threads among the other shit threads that are on offer at the moment.

[FatOne]

Yes, I agree Loy Toy. Great pics good stories and an interesting place. Thanks BLD

[crocman]

Looks like you got the same weather as us mate. Luckily the Dragonlady bought herself a raincoat for trip. That visit to Lang co looked nice. Maybe one for the future.

[MeMock]

Nice work. I love Vietnam. How far from Vinh is this place?

[katie23]

That castle & medieval town looks more at home in Europe than in Asia.

Thanks for the pics. Now I want to go to Da Nang & Hue, then travel all the way to Hanoi, Lau Cai, Sapa & trek on the mountains!

[chrisphh]

This looks like a perfect place actually, half way between the country's two major cities. Warmer than chilly & cloudy Hanoi but cooler than steamy Saigon. Are there any other such beach cities along the coast?

Besides Da Nang, Nha Trang is also a good choice. Its weather is warm and comfortable and its beach is so amazing. Anytime during the year can be favorable for a trip to the tourism city.

Da Nang has a large number of places for you to visit such as Son Tra peninsula, Marble Mountains, Linh Ung pagoda, which are all famous tourist destination. Besides, you can come to surrounding cities like Hue and Hoi An to explore Central Vietnam. You may take a tour Da Nang - Hoi An - Hue by Vietnam Tour Booking to have a detail plan for the trip.

You can enjoy the seafood in the big restaurant by the beach

Thanks do they also serve western delicacies like spam, alfalfa and irony?

[fishlocker]

Good thread BLD. Looks like you had a nice break. I have got to learn photobucket. The pics look clean. It's got to be less painful than the gallery.

Thanks for taking the time. I green owed as I'm out of ammo.

very nice hotel

[harrybarracuda]

The vietnamese Navy ?

Fuck that, I'm not going there if it's full of Welsh people.

[Big Hairy Pig]

I'll be in Danang the first week of June. Looking forward to it.

Looks like Nok will begin flying there soon.Nok Air & NokScoot Part 2: domestic and regional expansion including three new routes to Vietnam | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

There are no flights there from Thailand now, which is weird.

To get there now for me takes either 13 hours on a bus from Mukdahan or fly to Bkk then HCM then Danang.

As expected, Vietnam has reverted back to the less expensive single entry, one month visa for US citizens, along with others. My plan to visit Vietnam around March is back on. I didn't think it would take them long.
