Sad but probably inevitable with safety a growing concern with the ever increasing numbers taking selfies!!

Right decision?

Authorities are clamping down on cafes that line Hanoi's "train street." The thoroughfare is a popular draw for tourists who come to view trains rumble down an active track just inches away from homes and other buildings.

Hello Vietnam Backpackers,

Just on holiday in Phong Nha this week and spent the day riding around the wonderful Phong Nha loop.

Stopped off in Paradise cave and was stunned at the beauty within, beautiful cave and well worth the 250k VND price tag. Massive cave & beats the Surprising or Amazing caves in Halong Bay!

Here are a couple of pics for reference and preview of the cave.

If you’d like to hear on the spot tips in our group page then head on over to https://www.facebook.com/groups/vietnambackpackertips

Emergency services

Whilst we hope this doesn’t happen to you on your travels, there may be occasions when you need to call the emergency services.

Here are the main 3 numbers where you should be transferred to an English speaking operator.

Ambulance - 115 - 🚑
Fire - 114 - 🚒
Police - 113 - 🚓

Add them now to your smartphone and have them on speed dial just in case.

Happy backpacking guys!
