Journey to Hanoi
"Sa Wad Dee" all my friend so my name is Win and my friend call me Win. For a first time to shear my experience on my trip for everyone on English version. Hope you enjoy and Thank you.
One upon a time ago😅
Again we are start trip with no plan, It happen from my friend who is younger then mind. He boring with everything job people. One day he tell me "i wanna go some where" but don't know where.
Cr.หนังสือ 100 เมืองสวยในเอเชีย from book.
Why is Hanoi? is first question in my mind, We are chose one Hanoi in Vietnam . Cause time there is near Thailand and cheap ticket, and this is time journey for us. Thailand to Vietnam is same time and spent journey time around 2 hours from Bangkok by plane.
We are booking flight ticket and hotel, Wait for time to journey. But in a Future no one can't know, we are get a member join are us. He is one of my old friend interest and wanna join, So now we are ready go to HANOI . . . Journey to hanoi follow us.
This is my team 😁
Booking room and hotel from website before journey. In hanoi i'm chose one is Rising Dragon Palace Hotel. It a good quality and good price , many people review and put credit.
About money, i check on website they told " Should get a USD. for exchange VND. ( VND or Dong is currency in Vietnam ) on airport in Vietnam.
About trip in Hanoi for short time just 3 days and 2 night, we are think just tour around city by myself that enough. that is our plan if wanna change we mush talk again when we are in Vietnam.
Also, do not think that it will be smooth. Still remember my old friend, last one on trip. One month before departure. I got a call from him. Asked about the plane ticket that my reservation was? (Forget to tell my friend to booking flight plane after mind ). Yes me and younger ready, but him made a bill for ticket lost.
So I recommend contacting the airlines. The airline responded that. Travel date you just show Passport of the owner and the number of Booking number to check in. (Some people may know what to do, but for those who do not know yet, passport with the booking number is very important.)
24 July 2017
Then the day came. An appointment at Don Muang airport at 05:00 am. The point is to have someone awaken who is not dropping the team. At first I gave the younger brother a wake up call. Then I will wake up my friends again. It turns out that everyone is awake. When I called my friends Woke up already. Afraid to be late. 😜
So now is journey time see you soon in HANOI.
We take flight One hour and forty minutes Approximately two hours From Don Mueang Airport to Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi, Local time in Vietnam and Thailand at the same time. Do not adjust the clock to match the local time.
Xin chao Hanoi😊 or Hello Hanoi (For three days, the only word left forgotten) arrived at Noi Bai International Airpot . Pass the immigration checkout with our friendly looks. In Vietnam, we do not have to apply for a visa if it is not more than thirty days. Just submit a passport Waiting for the staff to stamp and then walk into town. Very easy
Through immigration, this time it's really adventurous time. Find a Bank for exchange money before. At the airport, there is a place to exchange money already. Exit the checkpoint down the escalator and turn left. Walking not far I spent a 100 dollars. Redeem a currency of about 2,204,000 VND. Have caught millions of money this time offline. Counting money around Shake hands with delight because there was never a million 😂 i'm a millionaire (the exchange rate depends on the money at the time)
After we exchange money as a millionaire. Then we are find the way to the hotel. I went back to the information from the airport. Information that we went to the bus number 17 where. A beautiful girl took us to walk out the door to the left. According to the information from website we check before come, After that she will also sell one day trip to Ha Long Bay, we also have to reply to you to not buy it. Then hurry to walk away.
We walked out of the airport to find the bus station, but still did not see the bus number 17, so my younger brother went to ask the person who was waiting for a bus. The answer is that a bus will coming in 15 minutes. While waiting we are to talk about whether to go to Ha Long Bay? If so, we should buy a tour from the airport. Because it is cheaper to buy in the city or buy at the hotel. (Information from website we check before come but follow me on trip what happen next and next time we can believe myself or information 😈) But our time is gone one day at Ha Long Bay.
In conclusion, we will go to Ha Long Bay. A bus is still not come we are get back to buy one day trip with a beautiful girl. Information at the booth is yellow with a different company. Selling tours are the same. I guess the white color of the airport (guess all the time, thinking for myself)
We are interested in Ha long Bay trip, how much ? we are check price. She tell us about details. What we can do on one day trip, such as try a boat, have lunch, swim , rock climbing and there is something. We have to buy more if you want to do more at that price 60 dollars each. It is the purchase price online. But if your buy with me now there will be only 46 USD. / person.
We are still confuse in English in Vietnamese accent. But enough to catch up. (she so speak quickly) Yes, we will buy. The review on internet or website said that the purchase of a cheaper airport tour at the hotel. I am very confident in the information.
Agreed, please fill in the details of the hotel address. To make a bill (If the money in Vietnam is 1,040,000 VND.) We are deal time to pick up us at the hotel in the morning of tomorrow. Everything clear she tell us about bus number for go to our hotel. Take bus number 86 to get to the city and sign near the hotel where we booked.
To Long Bien Station, the motorbike on the road is full. so amazing and I do not dare to step across the street. Making a walk across the street in Hanoi is very exciting for me. Look at a map From Long Bien Station to our accommodation is not very far. But we are skill of lost a way supper high.
in the win of the world, we ask people on the way but we lost in Hanoi around 1 hour.
In Hanoi area have alleyway many car and many people easy for lost. And street name in Vietnam front so hard to read. ( it hard more then alone trip in Russia ). After lost a way around 1 hour and ask some people all time. We are arriving. (so tried) But excite time not enough for us.
Rising Dragon Palace Hotel , we are here.
Here is a good place good quality and good price then information on website.
( around 43 USD. per night for 3 person ) with breakfast.
We are surprised when checkin cause information tell me, Don't have my name on booking room !!!
So why what happen that so crazy because i'm still contact with manager check a map from airport to hotel. Ask them for check again.
In the end have mistake from booking because i'm cancel first booking for 2 person and booking new for 3 person document is lost. But they found latter. well this is just one day in Hanoi so surprised every time. i think around trip have surprised and excite again sure.
That just one surprised from trip it happen again, when Mr. David manager hotel asking me about trip and invite Ha Long buy trip for us. Overall price so shock!!
standard is 30 USD. / person and supreme is 45 USD. / person 😱😱😱 ( lost information in website or internet )
We are go to our room on 3 floor number 304, relax around 10 minus then go to city for get lunch and start trip.
On first menu in Hanoi is PHO or Vietnam noodle, it look like a Chinese or Japanese or Thai noodle.
Is traditional menu on here. and test is delicious you mush try when visit Vietnam.

We are still full with PHO , now is time to walk around city. Don't get lost before follow me.
First point is ST. Joseph's Cathedral is Gothic cathedral Influenced by France. ST. Joseph's Cathedral
is The oldest church in Hanoi. In real we are wanna walking to Hoan Kiem Lake but lost way found church before.
Okay late go to Hoan Kiem Lake. we have a map but still confuse try to ask people around church again. and Hoan Kien Lake at backside.
Lost a way every time but is fun because we are look around city and so different from my town.
Arrived Hoan KieM Lake there are a big Lake in Hanoi city and public park in city too. around area so refresh air
The Legend of Hoan Kiem Lake start as long time ago. time to Build a Vietnam city, Emperor use magic sword expel the Chinese invaders successfully. One day while cruising in this lake. He meet a big soft - shelled turtle on top lake. It talk with emperor " you much get back a magic sword to the dragon" the of word magic sword float in to mouth a big soft - shelled turtle put under water and gone. that is the legend of lake.
