You’re finally taking that trip to Vietnam, a land of breathtaking beauty and sparkling seas.
Vietnam has created an identity for itself that encompasses a powerful yet graceful culture, people and environment.
Yet there are many pitfalls and landmines to avoid as a visitor to any foreign land.
This condensed volume combines the essentials of both a guidebook and travelogue in one indispensable package.
Save thousands of dollars, avoid countless scams and never have to wonder what that bucket of water in the bathroom is for. Take it from an experienced traveller who spent over a year in Saigon and learned so much about life there he had no choice but to put pen to paper to bring you this book.
Part reference and part prose, this volume is filled to the brim with information and suggestions no other book will have a clue about.
Most importantly, the honesty of these experiences will ring true with any fellow globetrotter. As we all know, one of the best parts of exploring the world is the invaluable advice, as well as the unbelievable stories, we get to share with one another. Travelers take the good with the bad and bravely forge ahead in the name of adventure, but why not take along a secret weapon?
Saigon Survival is a content heavy guidebook.
The book is approximately 40,000 words of wisdom as well as many maps, photos, illustrations, tables and graphs. Throughout the book are many ‘Survival Tips‘ which are based on real life experiences to help you get the best out of your trip.
From the author:
”Before I went to Vietnam, I spent a full two weeks, day and night, scouring the internet, researching as much as possible. Even then, I didn't feel very well prepared. Looking back, I realised that it was hard for me to cut through all the 'unnecessary noise' because I didn't know what I needed to learn. I made a lot of rookie mistakes when I first arrived that I've since seen many others make, (one of the main reasons I wrote this guide)."
"I spent a full year living in Vietnam doing field research (plus multiple vacations there prior to that). I then spent another 9 months creating this guide to help people like you streamline your own experience. I'm so happy to see all these great reviews from people that have been helped by this book, and my others."
