thanks for showing whats the north looked like. I've never visit this part of vn in my life, after this i changed my mind and want to visit this place . Its just gorgeous and beautiful that nature had given
@gangvn123 It's worth a visit. You will see many Van Kieu people and the hills are very green, many shades of green. I hope to explore more and spend more time there in the future. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
@TheVchunter No bombs, no guns, no soldiers, no barbed wire, no foreigners to take orders from = "communist propaganda" Some people cannot deal with reality.
great video. this video remind me of my trip back in 2005. at that time there were no bridge between thailland and laos. the route n°9 was bumpy. it cross the famous ho chi minh trail and the famous city of khe sanh where a battle took place during the vietnam ware.
@asieaparis Interesting thanks. I first traveled Hwy 9 in February of 1999 from Savannakhet to Ban Dong. Back then it was an all day trip and as you write, a rough road. Walked a few km on a leg of the HCM Trail. According to the locals a large battle was fought near there during Operation Lam Son 719 in the early 70's.
You might want to check out our video traveling the opposite direction with some clips from around Lao Bao, Khe Sanh, Con Thien and Dong Ha. It was uploaded on 19 September.
@NightBazaar There were boxes of Three Lady Cooks canned fish on the deck of the bus and so not much headroom. Also note the makeshift roof support for storage of more freight on the top of the bus.
@phrakanong Oh, that's what was on the floor. Still made for quite a squeeze though, didn't it? Yeah, if theres not enough room for cargo below, start stacking 'em up on top. No pigs or chickens mingling with the passengers?
@NightBazaar No animals on board but the boxes of canned fish were not only in the isle but also on the floor at each of the seats. No way to put one's feet on the floor. The trip across Laos took 6 hours. That said, traveling the opposite direction we rode a very comfortable air con bus and made the crossing of Laos in about 4 hours.
@phrakanong Ouch! That sounds a loooong trip to be cramped in like that with boxes of canned fish. Must've been cheaper shipping that way than by truck. Excellent views in the video. Looks a lot like many of the rural areas in Thailand. Quite a change in the road over the decades.
Hi, thanks for another fine video of Vietnam. I liked your intermittent use of music this time. Must consider a trip there sometime but bangkok is always the place for me!

Too much communist propaganda seen. This is why I left Vietnam for GOOD and never want to go back to that hell place.
