Check out the military museum, there's a lot of wreckage of US assets from Vietnam.

The GF and I went in late October. Definitely check out The War Remnants Museum and mentally prepare yourself. I still think about it.

On a lighter note there’s some cool markets for knock off merch whether you’re into it or not, just a cool atmosphere. Ben Thanh Market being the popular one but also has some super cool local food inside. Saigon Square is more official / put together in terms of infrastructure but lacks the food.

For food my favorite bowl of Pho amongst the several we had was Pho Viet Nam. They have two locations right next to each other.

Oh lastly…if you’re into massages and not the @ChasenSFO types but the, keep your under garments on kind, check out, 137 Nam.

High level, but if you need any more food recs that are off the beaten path, free to reach out.


I’ll link everything below.

Lolz. Just woke up after 3 dollar beers at the local brewery to realize I gave you all Saigon recs. Whoops.

Massages are awkward, they're up there with strip clubs and places like Hooters as a hard pass, happy ending or not. Cool that you've been to Vietnam tho!
