What does £330 a Month Rent Get You in Da Lat, Vietnam?

English Refugee

Today we are officially moving into the new house here in Da Lat, Vietnam!
I managed to find a beautiful, traditional wooden house right in Ward 1 (the city centre) for only £330 a month (around 12 million VND). Honestly, for the price and the look of this place, it felt like an incredible deal for a cost of living budget in Da Lat.
In this video, I’m giving you a full tour as I unpack and try to settle into my new Vietnamese neighbourhood. Since it's located in the heart of the city, I was a bit worried about whether it would feel like home or be completely overwhelming—but the street seemed quiet enough when I signed the lease.
Come along for moving day, check out what £330/month gets you in the mountains of Vietnam, and let me know if you'd live in a wooden house like this!

I'll give him 3 nights tops before he's harping on about how much he absolutely loathes the place ...stay tuned 🤣

“I don’t like noise, and I don’t like people.” Hahaha, I can relate. Great slogan for a t-shirt.

Tom, I say this with respect because I genuinely recognise a lot of myself in you.

I used to think peace came through understanding the world deeply enough. I thought if I observed enough, travelled enough, detached enough, understood politics, people and society enough, I’d eventually arrive at peace.

But eventually I realised intelligence, awareness and worldly insight alone can still leave a man restless inside.

You often speak about wanting peace, quiet, escape from the noise. I understand that feeling. But I honestly don’t believe peace is found by running from the world endlessly or trying to mentally outthink existence.

I think there’s a spiritual emptiness in many of us that no scenery, ideology, experience or self-awareness can fully touch.

The irony is, the depth you use to analyse the world is itself a gift from the Creator. But there’s an even deeper part of you beyond intellect and observation that only God can truly reach.

I’m not judging you at all brother. I’m a 40-year-old school dropout with a past I’m not proud of, and I once sounded very similar to you. I genuinely thought I understood life.

Then God humbled me.

The Holy Spirit is real. And when He touches your life, it’s different from emotion, intellect, politics or mood. It’s deeper than all of it.

Just stay open to truth, brother. That’s all.
