I've been twice before. Last time was six months ago for initial treatment. It's a fantastic country, food is amazing , people are friendly, it's cheaper then chips. You can live like a king on 20 pounds a day and that's including accommodation! . You really should go. |

I fly to Bangkok first as flights are easy to arrange . Usually emirates. 500 return. Then arrange flights to saigon. About a hundred return. You can go for two weeks without a visa. Or you can arrange to go for longer by getting a visa before you go or get one from the embassy in Bangkok. Takes about 3 days. You won't regret going I can guarantee it. |

A friend of mine at work went to Vietnam a while ago and she said her and her husband enjoyed it but wouldn't hurry back either. I personally wouldn't go though  x |

Mines was only 5 years ago as my fb account reminded me today. As if it wasn't bad enough going to Ukraine and Russia just as it started kicking off, this happened on my last night there! A perfect end to an " interesting" tour! |

"It might have cost you a quarter of the price but if anything goes wrong when you return home,no dentish in the uk will treat you thats why i paid the price and did it in the uk."
This! 
5 years time and a mouth full of abscesses, which is unsalvagable, won't seem cheap then. |
