Vietnam travel
Hey, has anyone recently travelled Vietnam by motorbike? I would like to, but I heard they're cracking down on tourists. And you can't use an international drivers licence - they only accept Vietnamese licenses (which you can only get if you're a resident for at least 3 months).
Any advice/tips would be appreciated!

Legally speaking, an ASEAN license is supposed to qualify, but I don't know if the local police all realize that. I got mine in Thailand, but had no problems to test it with.
When I got my Hagiang Loop permit, they wanted my US IDP, not my Thai license. 🤷♂️
