David Thomas, founder Indochina Arts Partnership and an US artist and American War veteran, paid a special visit to Việt Nam during his journeys in Đà Nẵng, Hà Nội and destination in central Việt Nam in April of 2023.

My Dad is coming to visit Hà Nội next month, and it got me thinking about all the things I still haven’t done in this city. Despite living here for years, there are still so many ‘tourist’ attractions I haven’t been to.

In just 70 days, he has run an astonishing 2,358km from Cà Mau, the southernmost province of Việt Nam, all the way to Hà Nội, and he shows no signs of slowing down as he embarks on the return journey.

Having quit his job in 2007, Kellenberger founded Island Kids Philippines (IKP), an organisation aimed at supporting underprivileged children in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.

While gyms in Hà Nội offer sessions for just VNĐ200,000, prices in London are an astronomical (but entirely reasonable for London) VNĐ1.5 million an hour.

For the past 21 years, each month a Japanese man spends some two weeks in Lô Lô Chải, a remote village in the northern mountainous province of Hà Giang, becoming a familiar friend to many members of the Lô Lô ethnic minority group.

Maybe what you like is not really all that you need. It’s an intuition that makes perfect sense in almost any context: candy and alcohol are great, but too much of either is sure to lead to ruin. But in the digital space, it seems like an inviolable rule: give the user whatever they like.

Working and living in Việt Nam for 3 years, he may be the same expat as thousands of others.

This is a letter Việt Nam News received from a reader regarding MobiFone’s service outage in HCM City on January 4. MobiFone services were resumed later that day.

The 36-year-old is very tall and thin with a friendly smile. He has been a wild animal rescuer in Việt Nam for nearly eight years.

Many of these dishes can be hard to find in Việt Nam, but none amount to the biggest thing missing from Christmas dinner – family.

Tomkins has been renting the top floor of an old villa on Hà Nội’s Đội Cấn Street for the past few years, and she probably never expected that her Vietnamese landlord’s bàn thờ (altar for ancestor worship) would become an unexpected source of inspiration.

When Việt Nam began cautiously reopening before the deadly fourth wave of COVID-19 had completely subsided around a year ago, many met the news with scepticism and worry.

Embarking on their journey since Tết (Lunar New Year), Maxime Godin-Murphy’s family have set foot in nearly 30 localities of Việt Nam, 10 countries in Europe and just finished a short visit to his family in Canada.
