Can I Get A Tourist Visa In Hanoi ?

[steven100]

I am contemplating going to Hanoi tomorrow to apply for a tourist Visa as that seems to be the cheapest air ticket with Air Asia.

If I go to KL I'm looking at Baht8-9K .... so I am thinking Hanoi maybe the go.

I could also just do a border run & then fly in a couple of weeks to KL as it will be less cost ?

Is the Hanoi a good idea ?

What else do you suggest ? Kota Buhru sounds ok but there are no direct flights there from BKK.

Any advise appreciated ...

cheers,

if you are not from the ASEAN countries, you will have to pay for your Vietnam visa (about $65 single entry), then you have to

cab yourself from NoiBai Intl airport to downtown which would run you at least $12-15, wait around at the Thai Embassy for

your visa, if lucky you can get it back within the day - but if not, you will need to find some lodging in the city.

If you want to check out Hanoi while there, I really recommend the city and food - there are also many beautiful women there.

-did you check out other nearby countries; i.e. Suvannakhet Lao, Vientiane Lao which has a Thai Embassy?

Make sure you have US Dollars for your visa in Hanoi and Hanoi is a great place to spend 2 or 3 days, a visit to Uncle Ho is a must do....surreal
