Danang Airport will exchange THB for VND. Many hotels along the beachfront (or on the streets behind) will exchange money. Just keep your zeroes straight in your head and you won't overpay. I never encoutered cheats anyhow. If you want 5-star then consider Intercontinental Danang on the peninsula. That said, Danang's beach is huge. You wont have a problem finding a nice room. Sheraton and Hilton have a presence as well as many independents. You could also consider going south to An Bang Beach. Far quieter, its a little village with some really nice smaller hotels. Everything within walking distance. Danang is far and away the cleanest and most picturesque big city in VN. I never did much in Danang except body surf the waves, bike around, go for long beach walks and drink beer and iced coffees, so I can't help on the things-to-do front. Have a good trip.

Are you suggesting that there are no "quality tourists" from India and China? How do we define "quality tourist"? Maybe it should be part of the TV application process...

Cannabis is surely not a harmless drug. Thats just more far leftie lunacy. It's psychologically addictive and can induce psychosis in vulnerable groups - as well as paranoia. How is that helpful? The only reason it's being propped up here and in places like the US and Canada is 1) because of the tax revenue; and 2) to keep the people docile. Use with caution folks!

Staged? Unlike that Canadian moron a few yrs back in Chiang Mai that spray painted one of the old city gates...

Klous Schwabs, the W-E-F, and communist govts have no intention to allow the expansion of the range of EVs. You will keep to your 15 minute cities and 300 km range because the world is melting. Also they can flip a switch and your car shuts down like The Robocop. With ICE cars no such external controls exist and that is why coal is bad, petrol is bad and you will be shamed for driving an ICE.

Weed is not a harmlesss substance. Burns holes in brains and induces psychosis. I dont know why this fellow Anutin is so angry. Recrim it and save the kids! You wanna smoke weed visit Kanada.

Bronson!

Oh really? So youre a digital nomad too then - or did you just go out of curiosity? Fishy...

Honestly why does anyone bother with any of the paperwork to stay in Thailand long term? Last yr it took over a month for the bureauprats to approve my 60 day SETV - plus an extra 10 days b/c they didnt approve of my hotel. Meanwhile if youre Russian or Chinese just come visa free . . . and stay for eternity, no Qs asked. I will never ever again give them 60 bucks for the privilege, let alone spend hundreds if not thousands to stay long term. Far better options in the region w far less hassle and expense. Cambodge and Vietnam come to mind.

This is not going to matter one iota once the WHO - UN - WEF call for a crack down on travel again with another p(l)andemic in the pipeline. Doc Tedros - hardes working man in show biz! Cheers all

Only Western countries.... interesting. Have to keep hollowing them out. Agenda 2030 at play yet again. You will own squat and eat bugs and travel nowhere unless we say so! Remember folks: you cannot reason with a machine. But embrace it all you want in the name of "convenience."

And the "assassination attempt" on Trump was not staged. Okay. Back to your television my friend.

Whatever the case it sounds like the place sucks now, no soul, with or without casinos, compared to the glory of yesteryear. The powers that be are making a fake beach in Kep. Nice. (Not). An airport on Koh Rong would be an environmental disaster. Cambodia has loads of problems, probably the biggest of those are pollution and environmental desecration. TPTB should be taking care of their own country's issues before throwing massive amounts of cash at projects aimed to increase tourism. Look at what's happening in Thailand. Coral reefs absolutely destroyed in so many once pristine spots.

Bronson!

I would go and spend all my bread in VN if they offered a retirement viza. Vn food is just as good - if not better - than Thai food. Plus there are decent baguettes. And the iced coffees. And no carrying coins around either. C'mon Vietnam! A retirement viza!

I don't doubt it. But monkey pox hasn't really gained traction. Maybe they've got something ultra nasty up their sleeves. We're fast approaching 2030 and we all have to own nothing and be going nowhere. Doc Tedros - the hardest working man in show biz!

I understand Sihanoukville was destroyed by the Chinese backed casinos, but wat about Kampot? At least there's some water n mountains nearby. That said - there's an alarming lack of green space in Cambodia in general.

I was approached by a pimped beggar outside a mini mart. Didn't hand over cash; went inside, bought a few baguettes, came back outside, offered said baguettery to the pro/pimped beggar and was immediately refused with a hand gesture of rubbing fingers and thumbs -- i.e. I want money. So I said "Fck you then!" and walked off. The pimps are the ones that if we could reanimate Bronson need to be "re-educated."

Why? Does your home kountry government act responsibly and "manage" its budget? Of course not! It spends willy nilly and without restraint (easy when it's other people's money) and always with the excuse "Corvid 19 did this." Grow the vuck up. Leadership comes top down and at the top is nothin but weasels.

With all due respect Mr Adams needs to get his head fastened on straight. Send all those so called illegals up to Kanada, where 3 squares, furnished accommodation and 18 flavors of gelato are all but guaranteed on arrival. How did the guy become mayor? President Zhou Biden is just an easy scapegoat.

I call bullship. Nothing inside Terminally Ill 21 except South Koreans and Chinese package tourists spending up a storm. And candy corn.

The Osteenator is just doing business. And business is booming bro!

This is again part of Klous Shwabs plan. He has eager proteges in both Kanada and the You Kay. "You will eat dirt and be happy"
