A Perfect Day in Saigon’s District 2, Thao Dien (Expat Area) | Vietnam Travel Vlog 🇻🇳

After a month in Bali and a week in Malaysia, we are back in Vietnam! We revisit Thao Dien, a popular ward in Saigon’s District 2. The beautiful and vibrant neighbourhood has a lot of job opportunities, making it an ideal location for foreigners and expats. 🧡

District 2 was previously one of the poorest areas in Saigon’s city as the Saigon River cut residents off from the centre. However, since the completion of the bridge and tunnel, the district has transformed into an urban district. 🏙️

We lived in this district for 6 months when we arrived in Vietnam late last year. It was so nice to spend the day here, it sure brought back so many memories for us! What an incredible day it was!! ⚡

Let’s explore and eat!!
