🇻🇳✨ Review of SAPA, Northern Vietnam, European feel

🏡 A hotel with a million-dollar view, 980 baht per night with breakfast included! Azure Hotel Sapa

The weather is cool and comfortable, perfect for strolling around the city all day. The view is amazing!

If you're tired of Thailand and want a change of scenery but don't want to wait for a long flight — Sapa is the place for you!

🍃 What is SAPA? Why go there?

Sapa is a small town in a valley in northern Vietnam, near the Chinese border.
This town used to be a French resort, so its buildings are all European-style!

Walking around and taking photos is like being in Switzerland. 🌲🏔️

📍 Highlights:
• Cool weather all year round (15–25°C)
• Dust-free city, easy to walk around
• Beautiful cafes everywhere
• Friendly people, delicious food
• Misty mist floats through the rainy season, like a dream

🍜 What's SAPA's food like?
• The food isn't overly spicy. But it's fragrant with herbs.
• Must-try dishes: Pho, spring rolls, grilled food, and pancakes.
• There are also many Italian restaurants, and the atmosphere is great.

💸 Food prices:
• Pho: 25,000–40,000 VND (approximately 40–60 baht)
• Beautifully decorated cafes, starting at 60 baht per cup.

🚗 How to get there?
1. ✈️ Fly from Bangkok to Hanoi (2 hours)
2. 🚌 Take a bus or train to Lao Cai (approximately 4 hours).
3. 🚐 Take a 1-hour bus ride to Sapa.

🛌 We recommend staying in Hanoi for one night and then continuing your journey the next day to avoid overwork.

🛵 Is Sapa walking possible?
• It's perfectly walkable! The town is small and the roads are gentle.
• Or you can rent a motorbike to drive to the outskirts of town and to the waterfall.
• If you prefer not to drive yourself, there are golf carts available for a round trip for around 50,000 VND (a very reasonable price if you split the cost).

📍 Recommended photo spots:
• Viettrekking Sapa (red train + mountain view)
• Sapa Stone Church
• Sun Plaza
• Night market
• Morning mist in the city

💸 How is the Vietnamese currency calculated?
• Vietnamese currency is called the Dong (VND).
• The basic idea is to take Dong ÷ 650 = approximately Thai baht.

For example, 100,000 VND = approximately 150 baht.

✨ Summary: Should you visit SAPA?

Go! 💯
This is a green city with beautiful views and fresh air. It's a great place to walk around.
It's perfect for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, and cafe lovers.
But if you're prone to motion sickness, be prepared. Because there are a lot of uphill climbs.

📌 A budget-friendly option for under 10,000 baht. Enjoy great food and accommodation, and feel like you're in Europe, but only a 2-hour flight.

📸 Tips:
• Bring a light jacket and an umbrella.
• Take photos in the morning or after a rainstorm for the most beautiful misty views.
• If you're planning to go up to Fansipan (the Rooftop of Indochina), buy your tickets in advance.
