@OceanBeach92107 Hi!As you might know I am still living in Sweden. Will hopefully relocate to Vietnam whithin a year.Anyway, in Sweden if I get prescribed pill X the pharmacy must inform me about pill Y & Z. This is done so the consumer can ...

Little Visa confusion, how does this work? by Dannyroc3
As I get near the end of my last visa, I thought it wouldn’t be too much more money , and it might be interesting to do a trip to Bangkok and basically do a group tour, which was originally priced it around 6 million. (X two.)The last time I ...

On another note; has anyone here done one of these group tour to a neighboring country trips? They’re generally not something that I like to do because I don’t like to be on a schedule , but because I wasn’t going alone and ... Read More

Marrying a buddist as a Christian by marrbuff
Any thoughts on the viability of a western christian marrying a buddist in 'vietnam or 'thailand?

According to the internet, there are approximately 7 million Roman Catholics in Việt Nam, so that might work unless you're a staunch Protestant. Also, Việt Nam is not really a Buddhist country, as (according to wikipedia) "the majority ... Read More

Changing Thai Employer by Stoz3095
Change of job means my current non-imm B will be cancelled by my current employer and apparently my new employer has 7 days to get my new visa arranged. I wonder, what will be the consequences if they don't manage it within the 7 days?

Which is better Hanoi or HCMC ? by daviddomoney
Are there many expats in Hanoi or just HCMC? Which is a better place to be based?

@jayrozzetti23 Interesting thanks - better Danang? - @daviddomoneyWell, it's the most popular city in Vietnam and only has a population of 1.2 million, so it's gotta be better than HN or HCMC, right? Plus it has a beach. But it looks pretty ... Read More


Happy Khmer new years by mpmilestogo
Hope you all have a wonderful new year.

One thing I always enjoyed there was walking the side streets and finding small coffee shops and cafes. Used to be a nice beer garden right by the night market. We would go and eat there. Not like a bia hoi in Hanoi but it was fun. There are also ... Read More

Are there many expats in Hanoi or just HCMC? Which is a better place to be based? - @daviddomoneyMy advice would be to skip both. There was a time decades ago when large Asian cities still had some charm. Now, with massive overdevelopment and ... Read More

Are there many expats in Hanoi or just HCMC? Both cities have a sizeable expat community. Estimates are ~50,000 expats in Hanoi, with Saigon having more. Which is a better place to be based? - @daviddomoney That's a broad question. "Better" for ... Read More

ESL job recommendations by Jamison123
Hi, what would you say are the better language centers or schools to work at in Vietnam? I was recently offered a position with VUS and am interviewing with Scots English, but I am hesitant about both (especially Scots). I do not yet live in Vietnam ...

@Jamison123I would guess that it's a relatively new school. The website looks professional. You may be able to find reviews on websites like Glassdoor, etc. Also, ask them if you can correspond with any current teachers. Phu Yen looks like a small ... Read More
