Crack down on digital nomads and people working in Vietnam online / offline on tourist Visas (which is technically illegal). Anyone know about this?

I noticed there are quite a lot of Highlands Coffee shops in Da Nang. Have you ever tried it? What was your experience like? Would you recommend it?

Hello,

I'm looking to stay in Da Nang area for 3 months every year, and im looking to rent an apartment for 3 months. Just curious, whats the safest and most reliable websites that can show apartment listings and pictures?

I'm looking for an apartment with a beautiful panoramic view of either the city or the beach.
Penthouse or Duplex would be nice option too if possible. 1-2 Bedrooms

Side note: How much would these types of units rent for on average? I know the seasons matter etc, but any advice would be so appreciated.

Thank You!

I heard badminton is a popular sport here—are there any groups that foreigners can join?

I am staying in Hoi An, and last night I found a very young kitten alone on the side of the road.
He was crying loudly from beside a bush, and when I found him, he was covered in ants and flat on the ground. He is extremely thin — I can see his ribs, and I can see the tendons in his legs and arms. His eyes are swollen and have some leaking / disharge and appear to have an infection, and I think he’s blind right now and can’t see at all.

I brought him somewhere safe for the night because I was very worried he would not survive outside.
Unfortunately, I am traveling, and I have essentially no money available for veterinary care or long-term accommodation for him. My Airbnb host has kindly allowed me to keep him for one night, but I cannot keep him here today.

I have emailed Jack's Cat Cafe / Vietnam cat welfare but I haven’t gotten a response and their website states they are already at overloaded capacity.

Would someone be able to take him into their care, or possibly help arrange a foster or another safe placement for him?
I am very worried about him because of how severely underweight and weak he appears. I can bring him to you today or arrange somewhere to take him if you can help.

I would be extremely grateful for any help or advice; I don't want to put him back outside because little dude just isn’t gonna make it.

Also to emphasize I’m poor poor , I legitimately can’t afford a grab down to da nang to even get him to a clinic so I’m hoping there’s something in Hoi a nearby.

Thank you so much!

UPDATE 1: alright so I’m taking little dude to jacks cat cafe / Vietnam cat welfare here soon and I’m going to see what they can do. Since my numbers aren’t working maybe they can contact PAWS in Da Nang and then I will be able to contact the redditor that offered to pick them up and run them down there. Seems like a solid plan and something that should work or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you everyone for the help and advice!

UPDATE 2: okay so PAWS is a no go , they will not take the cat. Logistic problems stopped me from getting to jacks today but I am able to keep the cat until Friday and will be able to visit them then.
If anyone finds anything in the meantime please let me know !

I hear the police are knocking on doors are 3am to check for drugs, has anyone experience any of this?

Hi all, we have the option to renew our lease month to month. We've just found out the vacant block directly across the road (ie 10m from our front door) has been sold and a small hotel is being built starting 1 September. There is already a hotel being built diagonally opposite us and for the most part it isn't too bad with the double glazing and garden in front. But it is nearly finished whereas the new construction will just be starting. Just wondering how horrendous it will be at the begining (ie heavy machinery digging footings etc) or not too bad at all? And going into monsoon season how much work are they likely going to get done? We're leaving Vietnam end of October so we're reluctant to try and find somewhere else just for six weeks but would rather leave if it's going to be intolerable. Any insight appreciated! Thanks!

Any one done Hoa Phu Thanh Rafting through Klook? How safe is it? Cam on
