'''gonzalo''' '' has successfully hitchhiked from Nha Trang to Hanoi without any inconvenient, the expression Xin đi nhờ is clear for everyone, is recommended to 'use it every time a car or motorbike stops. The waiting time for motorbikes were between one or three minutes (a sing saying 2KM helps), for cars the waiting time was around 20 minutes. The cities in Vietnam stretch for many kilometers before reaching the countryside so it is better to hitchhike motorbikes rather than walking. It can be tough to ride on a bike with a heavy backpack, if that is the case be sure to let you backpack loose so the seat will hold it instead of your back. He found only friendly and helpful people, definitely a good country to hitchhike in. ''
Hitchhikernick - hitched from border of Cambodia to china in 2 weeks (1week in Hanoi to get china visa) in September 2016. Hitching was pretty easy, but 90% of the time it was a motorbike (you must wear a helmet in Vietnam-biker gave me his spare one). Only difficulty I found was when stuck in big cities, otherwise easy. Hardly ever asked for money, if at all. Average waiting time 10 mins.
