Living in Vietnam in 2026 is not the same as visiting Vietnam on vacation. Avoid the $2,000 mistakes most expats make with these brutal pros and cons after 13 years of living in Vietnam.
A lot of people move to Vietnam for the cheap food, affordable lifestyle, warm people, and exciting energy. But real life in Vietnam is different. From scams and immigration headaches to housing traps, food safety risks, and relationship realities, this is the no-BS guide for 2026.
In this video, Attorney Ken Duong breaks down the brutal truth about living in Vietnam: the ugly side nobody wants to talk about, and the reasons why Vietnam still gives many people a better, more exciting, and more meaningful life than they had back home.
If you are thinking about moving to Vietnam, retiring in Vietnam, investing in Vietnam, marrying in Vietnam, or building a long-term life here, this video will help you see both sides before making a costly mistake. It's an honest look at expat life in Vietnam for digital nomads, retirees, investors, entrepreneurs, and foreigners planning to relocate to Southeast Asia.
