Creator's Key Takeaways

We loved the hotel in 2017 and asked if we could have a similar view, they gave us the exact same room.

It's a little bit hazy today, but we've got a lot of rain forecast cuz there's another big typhoon headed towards central Vietnam.

It's definitely worth a visit. I think the entrance fee was uh $60,000.

Ho Chi Min is definitely more relaxed than Hanoi.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Landmark 81 on a clear day for the best views.
Be aware that the War Remnants Museum can be graphic and intense.
Consider staying at the Nikko Saigon for its breakfast buffet and club access.

YouTube Video Description

Today we head back to somewhere we have visited before. Ho Chi Minh. And we stayed in the same hotel, in the same room. We loved the hotel in 2017 and asked if we could have a similar view, they gave us the exact same room. And it felt half the size it was before so clearly my mind was playing tricks on me. We had a big storm coming in so of the few days we had we only had the opportunity to see anything in one day. We were fine with that as we had a busy week ahead so went to Landmark 81, or the mini Burj Khalifa, The War Remnants Museum, Saigon Post Office and Notre Dame. It was a whistle stop tour but these were different things than we saw in 2017 when we went to the Mekong Delta, went on a Photo Safari and went around the City a little more. We also managed to do nails and laundry before I headed down to the river to see real life outside of the Tourist spots. We talk about the never ending buffet in the Nikko and sum up the hotel and lounge access before we pack our stuff up and head to our next stop, Singapore. #nikkosaigon #hochiminh #hochiminhcity #saigon #landmark81 #vietnam #travel #globalnomadtravel #worldtraveller #worldtravel #slowtravel #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #retireearly #retireearlyandtravel #financialindependenceretireearly #digitalnomadlifestyle VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:57 Our last Vietnamese Airlines flight! 02:29 Hotel Nikko Saigon Room Tour Club Access 08:13 Landmark 81 Saigon 12:57 The War Remnants Museum 18:05 Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon 19:15 Saigon Post Office 20:06 Book Street 21:25 What we did last time 23:48 Exploring behind the City 28:17 Laundry in Ho Chi Minh 28:53 What we thought of the Hotel Nikko Saigon 36:07 Thanks for watching Our Links Airalo: https://airalo.go.link/3ofAz Wise: https://wise.com/invite/irhc/jamesr1487 Nord VPN: https://refer-nordvpn.com/SYNYUNhtBvN The Credit Cards we use Chase IHG - https://www.referyourchasecard.com/210f/TKV3WX6T1X Chase Sapphire Reserve - https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19q/VBEDZ1CISQ Chase Ink Cash-https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/N6TMLHSOZO Chase Ink Preferred-https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/ZQ3MXA7I5Y American Express Marriott Bonvoy https://americanexpress.com/en-us/referral/marriott-bonvoy-business-american-express-card?ref=JAMESRvkWi&XL=MIANS Chase freedom Helen-https://www.referyourchasecard.com/18J/5WH3HLPBBJ CHASE SAPPHIRE Helen - https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19q/NC0JNHUYDH CHASE INK HELEN UNLIMITED- https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/FRWQQ7W3IE CHASE INK HELEN PREFERRED-https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/TV8PBGDBGA CHASE INK HELEN- https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/LKK2JZIE2A Our Contact https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNomads93/ https://www.instagram.com/globalnomads93?igsh=emg1ZzkybnJyOXZv Email: globalnomads93@gmail.com
