Glad to see you're making the trip over. Sorry I didn't have a chance to meet up with you when I was back for Xmas & New Years. Lots of lunches with family, old friends and co-workers. We can meet up if you're coming to Da Nang. One way ticket, ... Read More

Internet Speeds - Fiber Optic availablity? by Brian999
Hello everyone! I will be coming to stay and live in Rach Gia later this year. My work requires dependable high speed internet. While I have visited VN many times, I have noticed that most hotels and "home-stays" are very "hit and miss" ...
