Hi Larsay,

Thanks so much for your reply. I hadn’t realized the current situation in Vietnam was this bad… I thought the flooding would’ve calmed down by now, but apparently, it’s still a total mess.

-Do you think it’s reasonable to plan a trip to the Cao Bang area with a driver? I’m worried about landslides and ending up in a ravine. -Do you know if the situation is just as bad near Ninh Binh (Tam Coc, Hoa Lu)?

Have a great day, Tim

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your reply—looks like I’m getting back to you pretty late too. My apologies for the delay. It’s been really tough to get info on the questions I asked: We’ll try to find a car with a driver in Trung Khanh... We’ll see how it goes. On the other hand, there’s a hotel—the Phong Nam Station—that isn’t responding, despite our booking... Hope it hasn’t closed down.

All the best, Tim07

Hi Quynh,

- Do you happen to know if it’s possible to rent a car for the day (with a driver) in Trung Khanh to visit the Phong Nam Valley and the Ngoc Con Valley? I’m sure there are some in Cao Bang, but are there any in Trung Khanh itself?

- Do you know if the bus from Cao Bang to Ban Gioc stops near the "Khu Bảo Tồn Vượn Cao Vít" nature reserve, which is on the way to the waterfalls? It would really work for us to take the bus to that spot since it’s only 4 km from our hotel.

This would be for a 3-4 day trip to the region next December. My dad speaks Vietnamese, but we haven’t been able to get precise information about this.
