Hanoi City Morning Commute | 4K Motorbike Ride | LIFE IN VIETNAM 2018
This ride was filmed in Hanoi, Vietnam on a Friday morning around 9:15am. The main weekday morning rush hour (usually between 730am~830am) had died down by this point, so we were able to zoom through Hanoi relatively quickly. Normally during rush hour, a 20-minute ride like this can become 45 minutes or longer.
I was riding on the back of a GRAB motorbike. GRAB is a ride-share service, just like Uber. It's the main way I commute around Hanoi.
In this video, you'll see what normal traffic looks like, including lots of honking and lots of traffic violations. This is normal, daily life in Vietnam.

Daunting motorcycle traffic in Hanoi, Vietnam
Daunting motorcycle traffic in Hanoi, Vietnam. Hanoi is a traffic nightmare. Anyone who has traveled to the Vietnamese capital knows that the seemingly chaotic sea of motorbikes can be quite a challenge, particularly if you try making your way around town on foot. According to official statistics, there were about 4 million motorbikes in all of Vietnam in 1996; today, there are about that many in Hanoi alone. There are currently around 39 million motorbikes nationwide, meaning that if we exclude the very old and the very young, practically every Vietnamese owns a motorbike.

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test – one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

If you liked this, you'll also like our How to Motorbike Bali:
Motorbike traffic in Vietnam is insane, but there is a method to the madness. By far the most challenging areas to drive in are the busy cities such as Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. Surprisingly, once you get out of the busy city centers, driving becomes a piece of cake.
There is certainly something to be said about safety in number while driving a scooter in Vietnam. There was a comfort in the fact there are so few cars on the roads. This stands in contrast to a place like Bali, where cars and scooters jockey for position on narrow roads. The most important thing to remember while driving in ANY south east Asian country is that the bigger vehicle has the right of way. Can't argue with that!
Most of the roads between towns and cities were very well maintained. This left you free to focus your attention on the natural beauty of the country as well as keep a sharp lookout for cows on the road. If you're at all a fan of motorcycles, motorbikes, or scooters, you owe it to yourself to do a trip from South to North in Vietnam sometime in your life.
Hanoi Crazy Traffic | MOTORBIKES OVERLOADED
Motorbikes overloaded is common in Hanoi, Vietnam because the motorbike is the ubiquitous form of transport here, it replaced the bicycle some time back and is now king of the road.The amount of 4 wheeled traffic has tangibly and visibly increased. Yet the humble 50 or 125cc workhorse still remains the transport of choice of the majority of Vietnamese.
These jaw-dropping scenes from the streets of Vietnam will leave even seasoned tourists wondering if there is anything these motorcyclists can’t balance on the back of a rusty old bike or scooter.
There are far more motorbikes on the road than vans or cars in Vietnam. And they are used for anything and everything and that includes transport to market. It’s not uncommon to see a motorbike laden with watermelon, carrots, herbs and just about anything that can be bought at the market.

Hanoi to Ha Long Bay motorbike trip
Luna and I went to Vietnam in August of 2019 for the purpose of bike tour. We arrived in Hanoi and took a bus to Ha Giang. There, we rode The Loop for 2 days and then took a bus to Sa Pa. We stayed there one night and took a bus to Lao Cai, where the Vietnam/China border is. After that we took a bus to Ha Long Bay and stayed one night. The next day we went back to Hangzhou, China. All in all, one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is a trip that i felt compelled to do before I had kids.
How to DRIVE IN VIETNAM: Hanoi to Halong Bay on motorcycle as backpackers (2020) travel vlogger
In this video we continue where we left off in part one, and learn how to drive in Vietnam. We drove from Hanoi to Bac Ninh. And woke up early the next morning to continue on our journey as motorcycle travel vloggers from Hanoi to Halong Bay (UNESCO world heritage site) with a GoPro Hero 8 Black strapped on our chest in January 2020.
In this video we have a lot more tips for driving in Vietnam, and will show you Vietnamese traffic. We show you how to refuel at a gas station, and some interactions with the locals as backpackers and while not knowing the language.
We learned a lot about how to drive in Vietnam in this series. And hope to share what we learned with you in these videos. We hope you enjoy watching the action videos, as well as the drone clip of the Vietnamese country side on the way to Halong Bay from Hanoi.
The hotel we stayed at was Helios Hotel in Halong Bay, and here is an affiliate link if you are interested in staying:

MOTORCYCLING VIETNAM | Riding 2,000 KM from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi through the Old Ho Chi Minh Road
All the time people message me or comment asking what I route I took, how I prepared for the trip, what licenses I had etc.
Instead of replying to them one by one, sign up here and I will share tips & tricks on navigating Vietnam via motorcycle when I finish writing up my experience!
bit.ly/motorcycling_vietnam
My friend and I bought two bikes at the southern end of Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh), strapped our belongings to the back, and motorcycled everyday to reach the northern end (Hanoi).
A year ago we took a 4 day motorcycle riding course. We did this because we thought some day we would do an adventure tour through the infamous Ho Chi Minh trail through Vietnam. It was a beautiful 2,000 KM stretch of open road through the mountains and jungles of Vietnam. I legitimately thought we were going to do this YEARS from now, because then we would actually be 'ready' and 'capable' of doing something like this. The timing just didn't feel right. I was comfortable in my post-grad 9-5 doldrums and put off a trip like this into the 'someday' bucket, using the future as a phony fantasy to justify the present. You and I both know these were just the everyday lies we tell ourselves. In truth, I was scared shitless. I knew that there would be a time when I would do this trip in my life, 100%, but this felt like it was way beyond my comfort zone. I've backpacked through Eastern Europe and slept on stranger's floors before, but I was hesitant to loosen the grip I had on my domestic certainties -- mostly because I would have to hop on a statistically dangerous deathmobile.
Thanks to my friend Russell, that someday happened the same year we got our M1's. I probably timed out of the final confirmation screen multiple times while booking the tickets. But the rest is history: we did it, made it out safe, and only had one (minor) accident. In hindsight everything took care of itself, and the most challenging part of the whole trip was honestly dealing with the rumination before we took the plunge, and that's including running out of gas, breaking down (nearly everyday), and getting ripped off. Unfortunately we did this trip during the rainy season.
What was amazing and literally saved us multiple times were the locals. We had to make it to Nha Trang but broke down in the middle of a mountain at 5 PM right before sunset, right when the fog was rolling in. (Visibility was only 2 meters ahead) Locals nearby took our bikes to the back of their trucks, strapped it on with our bungee cords, and siphoned the gas themselves with their mouths to prevent any leakage on their trucks. They took us to Dalat which was along the way.
One time, my chain flew off 50 M behind me and snapped completely. We were stuck on the Ho Chi Minh Road where a bike/truck passes by every 5-10 minutes. Our third attempt to hail someone down resulted in two local farmers who got down on their knees and spent at least an hour using their scythe that was for crops as a way to re-attach the chain. After failing to do so, the other farmer eventually rode off to the nearest village and secured the parts from a mechanic to actually re-attach the chain. They wouldn't even take our money, but eventually we repaid them for the parts and many gracious goodbyes were made :)

Vietnam $13 Hotel ???????? Motorbike Rental Hanoi ????️
■ VIETNAM, HANOI: Finding a cheap hotel room and a motorbike rental place are usually two separate endeavors. In Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, it doesn't have to be. At this $13 downtown hotel they also both mopeds and motorbikes for rent.
