VIETNAM CAMBODIA TOUR

[a.k.a. HELGA]

@sis lakwatsa, nag pm na ako sa iyo.

^yun kasama kasi namin na nag aya, biglang nagdalawang isip kasi daw may nabasa sya madumi daw at madaming kalat at saka maraming pasaway na bata.

On the contrary malinis yung sand dunes nun pumunta ako. Both for the white and red. Yung sa red dunes kasi dinala ako ni Mr. Binh sa malinis na part at walang makukulit na bata. If you have enough time alloted for Vietnam, I highly recommend including Mui ne in you iti. By the way, I stayed in La Marina Hotel, medyo malayo 2kms away from the Sinhtourist office sa Mui ne. But I love my room. At ang bait ng staffs dun especially Ms. Oanah.

rocky, ang KJ ni bf ha! hahaha! kami balak namin magrent na lang ng sasakyan para mas comfortable. tutal madami naman kami. siguro mas mabilis din makakarating pag may private van kami. baka di na abutin ng 5hrs. asa! join ka na lang sa min!

^ikaw pala yan! haha! sige check ko. penge iti ha! sasabihin ko yun message mo dun sa kasama ko. magkano tour going to sand dunes. may nababasa kasi ako $8/pax, meron naman 5/pax.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ sureness sis

Yun sa akin kasi is halfday motorcycle tour 12USD. San kayo magstay dun? I think most of the hotels there ng ooffer ng group tour. Since marami naman kayo mas makakamura kayo.

[lakwatsa]

^wala pang final e. pero may isang nakita na ko, yun mui ne backpackers vienna-austria. dun yun 8/pax daw ang tour. try pa kami research research pa baka may mas mura pa dun.

Mga sis this post is long overdue but it might be helpful to some sisses na papunta pa lang ng Vietnam/Cambodia. 5 days lang kame pero nacover namin both countries. We booked our first day with Chanh, Bich Duyen then derecho na kame Muine (Sand Dunes, Fairy stream, etc...) sarap ng food sa Muine parang nagDampa kame na i think is a little cheaper. Over night kame don, sarap ng night life. The next day byahe na pabalik ng HCMC arriving a little over after lunch, tapos half day tour na yun. Third day namin is the Cu chi tunnel and half day tour lang din sa city. Fourth day super aga ng sched namin going to SR. Past 8PM na kame nakarating derecho ng hotel to freshen up then Pub Street. Sarap ng food, mura ang beer, night life was great... pls check out Angkor What club...maganda and mura din and halos lahat don mura. Tapos yung last day namin Day tour sa Angkor [textspeak!] and 4 other temples included na ang Ta Phrom, yung famous location for Tomb Raider. Gabi ang flight namin pabalik. Super init sa Cambodia. Dont forget your sunblock SPF 50, atleast. Anyway, it was a very fun trip and I dont think I missed anything important... sana.hehe

Hi sisses,

May nakatry na sa inyo mag night bus?
Meron ba from SR - PP, and PP - HCMC?
If yes, anong bus line? Thank you!

[Miss Charcoal]

^Di ko pa natry yung night bus.
Yung Mekong Express, SR - PP ~6 hours tapos lipat ng bus PP - HCMC ~6 hours rin.

I will leave tonight for my vietnam cambodia tour. Can i wear dress? It will save me a lot of weight for my luggage.

From some travel blogs ive read one writer said she was able to finish the tour wearing a dress. I dont want to wear jeans too because ive heard that its quite hot in those countries.

Which areas ang meron dress code? I assume sleeveless is allowed

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ I brought 4 dresses for my Vietnam Cambodia trip. Main reason para less bulky sa luggage since I only had my backpack with me. No problem naman with that sis as long as you're comfortable. And wala ako naencounter na may dress code with the places I've been to.

[whatswithjuly]

just arrived from SR-HCM tour yesterday. i've read couple of times na walang dress code here. so i brought shorts and tank top. i only have 1 jeans which i wore during the flight. also, nakita ko din sa photos from other bloggers, nakshorts and sleeveless sila so i thought ok lang. unfortunately, the first time i was wearing shorts, i was asked by our  tuktuk driver to change kasi we need to climb some of the temples. nasuot ko tuloy ang kaisa-isang jeans ko. tapos, just bought cambodian pants sa night market for the next day tour. my friend who was wearing bermuda shorts did not change though. pwede pag below the knee or above the knee. dun sa ibang temple, i needed to cover my shoulder. good thing i have my shawl... so hindi totoong walang dress code. may signs sa entrance pero meron lang temples na hindi strict. simula nun sinabihan ako, siempre di na ko nagmatigas..sinusuot ko na shawl before entering the temples.. i don't think wearing dress will be comfortable while climbing the stairs.

sa ho chi minh, wala naman dress code even sa cathedral. nakapasok ako kahit i was wearing shorts and sleeveless.

Yung sa red dunes kasi dinala ako ni Mr. Binh sa malinis na part at walang makukulit na bata. If you have enough time alloted for Vietnam, I highly recommend including Mui ne in you iti.

^ Hi sis, ako ulet. Si Mr. Binh - is this the same Mr Binh that Mr. Punch of GT hired in 2011? Pwde ba sya pag 2 tao ang itu-tour? Or dapat 2 tour guies din ang i-hire? 

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ You may email him sis to inquire I'm not sure kung pano ang transpo if 2 or more yung clients niya.

[Mr.Punch]

^^ With the Mr. Binh I know, up to 2 persons can ride in his motorcycle.

[trustingsoul]

For those looking for a guesthouse/hotel in SR and PP, I highly recommend Bou Savy Guest House in SR and Monsoon Boutique Hotel in PP.
For tuktuk driver in SR, look for Mr. Pheak. He has a FB page with his contact info :-)
We stayed at Aries Hotel in HCM, but I would say it was just so-so.

[ayionick]

^under Bou Savy ba si Mr. Pheak?

sisses/bros, ano ba mas maganda magstay ng 2 days sa SR o sa HCMC? we only have nov. 4-7 for the actual tours at 1 day pa jan para sa byahe from SR to HCMC?

[kikay iska]

^^ With the Mr. Binh I know, up to 2 persons can ride in his motorcycle.

^ He brought another "easy rider" so we 1 passenger lang per motor bike.
Thanks!

 Pansin ko dami palang ng check in sa Bou Savy. doon din kami last year puwede naman kayong mag patulong sa manager ng Day tour 25$ ata yun tas libre pa ang pangheram ng bike. Pero hindi advisable na pumunta ngayon MAGULO daw kasi ngayon doon
