From Monkey Raids to Scooter Disasters: The Vietnam Reality No One Warns You About

from Passport to the World · host Go World Travel Magazine

Join travel writer Dave McKenna as he stumbles through three weeks of chaotic adventure after selling his car to fund his Vietnam trip. He gets serenaded by an entire cruise ship crew who think he's on his honeymoon (spoiler: he's not married), survives monkey raids on Cham Island and learns why local women shave their heads to avoid poisoning their in-laws. Plus, discover why luxury cruise ships might trap you in tourist hell, how to survive scooter rides without dying, and why the floating markets everyone raves about had his guide recommending Thailand instead. Read Dave's full article, 'From Honeymoon Hoaxes to Monkey Mafia: A 21-Day Journey Through Vietnam’s Sensory Feast⁠' for all the hilarious mishaps and honest travel advice.
