Son Trach Ang Ang Homestay Bungalow - Hostel is so comfortable!
✨Hotel points😍 The owner is kind, the staff is full of hospitality🥰 Clean👍 The food is delicious☘️ In the middle of nature
♨️ Facility introduction 🏊 Pool🍽️ Restaurant📦 Luggage storage
🛁 Room introduction I could choose between a room with a brick wall courtyard view (2nd floor) and a white room with an outer courtyard view (1st floor).
🍽️ Stayed without breakfast
🛎️ Service🎫 Ticket, tour arrangement
💗 Impressions of the stay When I left, I wanted to come back and stay longer.
There are only two small shops and a hotel in the surrounding area, but this bungalow is so comfortable that I don't feel the need to go outside much. ☘️ You can apply for cave tours, canoe tours, etc. here, and they bought me a bus ticket when I moved from Hue. The bus from Hue to Phong Na departed next to Hue's train station, but I think the station may change depending on where you are going. The bus arrived about 10 minutes early and was already picking up other passengers. The driver got off, checked the tickets, put our luggage under the bus, got on and departed. It was pretty quick. 😳 I was really glad that the owner of An An Homestay Bungalow had booked the tickets and even paid for them. If you plan to travel by bus, I recommend that you check your schedule carefully. There are regular and deluxe buses, and I chose the deluxe. The ride takes 4 hours from Hoi An. The seats are comfortable and have beds that you can lie down on👍 For toilet breaks, they stop at a place like a drive-in. It's not the same route, so it's not definitive, but when I took a regular bus from Hoi An to Hue, the toilet was in a field😅 The staff at An An Homestay Bungalow are all relatives and everyone is kind. We also have a dog called Kiwi. 🐕 My husband can speak English, but the others only speak Vietnamese, so the translation software was useful.
That's all
This is a biased impression, but I think I was able to convey how comfortable it was. I rely on my husband (mainly his wife). ^_^ I hope you all enjoy your time in Vietnam 🇻🇳👍

Natural heritage that you can touch with your bare hands
Once you've been to the caves of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, you may not be able to experience anything new and moving from another cave.
We headed to the national park on a tour from Dong Hoi. We crossed a bridge so narrow that two vehicles could not pass each other while listening to the horns unique to Vietnam, and I was a little worried when I arrived at the tourist town, but we headed to the cave on a boat, feeling the pleasant breeze, and the first sight we saw was amazing. Inside the cave, there are even stairs made from stalactites that you can touch with your hands, so I definitely recommend you experience this moving experience.

[The Nodoka] Quiet homestay by the river🇻🇳
A peaceful homestay along the river.
Looking around the town, there are a lot of Western tourists.
It's a great place to read, have coffee, or beer while watching the river at dusk.
When the flow is gentle, dive into the river. I rented a SUP and slowly floated down the river in the morning.
For breakfast, you can choose from four types of food: banh mi, pho, Vietnamese fried noodles, and banana cake (6 types of drinks are free at breakfast).
You can also order dinner at the homestay.
You can also rent a bicycle or motorbike and find vegetarian restaurants and local restaurants.
Also, I recommend... there is a Winmart (convenience store) in front of the ticket center for the Phong Nha Cave Cruise, a World Heritage Site. I recommend stocking up on beer!

Into the Underground
Take a trip down into one of the largest cave systems in the world. Phong Nha National Park is one of the many wonders of Viet Nam. We had the privilege of just doing that and highly recommend you add it to your to do list. The cave systems that are open to the public are very well built with proper stairways and pathways. Park areas are also very clean and have decent toilets. My personal highlight was witnessing the strength of Vietnamese locals who paddle up to 10 or more people down a 1km cave system without breaking a sweat! impressive to say the least. Highly recommend
Getting There - Day Tours from DongHoi, Grab/Taxi, Rentals
Attractions - Paradise Cave, Phong Nha Cave, Dark Caves
Price - Day Tours starts at VND1.100.000 per pax inclusive of lunch, park fees and hotel pick up. Park fees for each cave system starts at VND150.000 to VND 250.000.

If you are looking for an exotic travel destination, Phong Nha Ke Bang in Vietnam
For those who are looking for a unique and natural travel destination rather than a common tourist destination, I highly recommend Phong Nha Ke Bang!
It is a national park with over 300 caves and the second largest karst landform in the world in Quang Binh, North Central Vietnam.
Somewhere between unspoiled nature, countryside, and tourism, here are some recommendations from this truly charming area.
1. Phong Nha Cave
The closest cave that can be reached by foot from downtown Phong Nha Ke Bang, it is the smallest but the best place to taste! Entrance fee 150,000 dong + boat fare 50,000-550,000 dong
2. Paradise Cave
It is much larger than Phong Nha Cave and is divided into 1km exploration and 7km exploration courses. Entrance fee 250,000 dong
3. Dark Cave
As the name suggests, it is an incredibly dark cave. Unlike other caves, it has natural mud. There are three different price ranges for different experiences, but I recommend the most expensive course!
Full course (zipline + cave exploration + natural mud + kayak) 400,000 dong
4. Botanical Garden
Contrary to its name, it is a fairly difficult hiking course, and you can enjoy unspoiled natural waterfalls and nature.
Entrance fee 40,000 dong
5. Duck Stop
A place where you can feed ducks and have fun experiences!
I thought it was for kids… Adults have more fun here
Experience and dinner 100,000 VND
