I Booked a Luxury Cruise in Vietnam and Was Shocked by What I Found​





Ha Long Bay Vietnam is one of the most famous destinations in the world, but is a Ha Long Bay cruise still worth it with all the crowds? We discovered Bai Tu Long Bay, a quieter alternative where we experienced a 5-star overnight cruise in Vietnam with almost no other boats in sight.Instead of the crowded side of Ha Long Bay, we wanted to see if Bai Tu Long Bay might actually be the better way to experience this incredible part of northern Vietnam.

We boarded a 5-star luxury cruise and rated the entire experience on the boat, food, excursions, crowds, and value to answer one question: Is this really a 5-star experience—and is it worth the price?

Along the way, we explore Vung Vieng Floating Fishing Village, learn how pearls are cultivated at a pearl farm, cruise beneath towering limestone karsts, experience traditional Vietnamese music, practice Tai Chi in the rain, explore Thiên Cảnh Sơn Cave, visit a secluded beach, and eat our way through multiple Vietnamese meals.And maybe the biggest surprise?Transportation from Hanoi and the overnight cruise for two people cost us around $350 total.

I Tested Hoi An's Famous 24-Hour Tailoring | Here's What Happened​





Hoi An, Vietnam custom tailors can make $130 custom suits in 24–48 hours. We tested the famous Hoi An tailoring experience while exploring its food, lanterns, basket boats, and culture.Before arriving in Hội An (hoy ahn), I asked Google one question: Where is the best place in the world to get custom clothes made in 24 hours?Nearly every result pointed here.We visited Blue Eye Tailor and ordered four custom suits, four linen outfits, and two dress shirts. My complete order cost $950, with each suit averaging around $130.

I also ordered a pair of custom-made sandals for only $20.We chose our designs, searched through thousands of fabrics, took our measurements, and then gave Tea and her team just 24 to 48 hours to bring everything to life.But would they finish on time—and would any of it actually fit?While the tailors worked against the clock, we explored the food, people, and traditions that make Hội An one of the most beautiful destinations in Vietnam.We tasted bánh mì (bahn mee), White Rose dumplings, fried wontons, cao lầu (cow low), black sesame pudding, herbal tea, and some unforgettable local seafood. We even met the 102-year-old woman who helped turn one family’s black sesame recipe into a Hội An tradition.

We cruised beneath the lanterns, made custom sandals, explored the Bảy Mẫu Coconut Forest (bye mow), spun through the waterways in traditional basket boats, caught crabs, made Vietnamese coffee and lanterns, and learned how to cook Vietnamese dishes.We also visited a rice farmer, worked with a water buffalo, and traveled offshore to snorkel around Cù Lao Chàm (koo lao chahm), part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.Everything eventually led back to the final fitting.Did Hội An live up to its reputation as the custom-clothing capital of the world?Watch until the end for the complete custom wardrobe reveal.
