[Vietnam/Hoi An] Why not take a ride? A coconut boat that you can only ride here 🥥

Is it only in Vietnam? Can you only ride in Hoi An?

I rode on the coconut boat that everyone is talking about!

It has many names, such as bamboo basket boat or basket boat lol

It's not all wrong, it's a basket-like boat made of bamboo.

It's shaped like a coconut split in half, and the boat moves through the coconut fields.

In fact, up to two people can ride with a professional boatman (a local grandma)!

The grandma slid smoothly through the coconut fields with one oar while shouting out loud.

I didn't get seasick, which I was worried about, because it moved like I was putting in effort and going with the flow of the river!

On the way, I watched a spinning show by an old man on another boat, sang a song, and it was an attraction to go around with other people's boats for about 30 minutes 🤭

It started to rain a little on the way, but there were umbrellas and basket hats prepared so there was no need to worry!

At the end, I gave a tip to the grandma who was the boatman and said goodbye with a smile.
You can almost always use credit cards in Vietnam, but it might be useful to have some cash ready for times like this 🥹
