Day 1

Day 1: Da Lat

Note: The original text contains HTML tags, which I have preserved in the translation.

Travel with Nok Air from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat Airport)

Our first destination is Da Lat City. There are both buses and airplanes to Da Lat. The distance from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat is about 300 kilometers. If you take a bus, it takes about 8 hours and costs around 300 baht.

We opted for Vietjet Air, having already booked and paid for our tickets in advance. The cost was approximately 700 baht, and the flight duration was around 45 minutes to Da Lat Airport.

Stepping off the plane, the air was noticeably different from Ho Chi Minh City. The wind carried a distinct chill, a stark contrast to the tropical warmth left behind.

From Da Lat Airport, a shuttle bus service is available to the city center for 40,000 VND.

** The shuttle bus does not go to all hotels. It only goes to a few hotels in the area. You will need to get off the bus and take a taxi. It is recommended that you look at a map before you get on the bus and show the taxi driver where you want to go. You should also ask the taxi driver to use the meter. Otherwise, you may be charged more than the actual fare. **

We have arrived in Da Lat City.

Upon arrival at Binh Yen Hotel, I opted for a shared room with a bunk bed, priced at approximately 300 baht. Notably, the room lacked both air conditioning and a fan. Despite this, the temperature was surprisingly cool.

Crazy House: A Whimsical Architectural Wonder

The Crazy House, known in Vietnamese as "Biệt thự Hằng Nga" or "Ngôi nhà điên," is a unique architectural marvel located in Da Lat, Vietnam. Designed by Vietnamese architect Đặng Việt Nga, the structure resembles a giant tree with winding pathways, whimsical rooms, and unexpected surprises around every corner.

The Crazy House is a testament to Nga's artistic vision and her desire to create a space that inspires imagination and wonder. The building's organic forms and playful design elements evoke a sense of childhood fantasy, making it a popular destination for families and tourists alike.

Visitors can explore the various rooms and levels of the Crazy House, each with its own distinct character and charm. The winding staircases and hidden passages add to the sense of adventure, while the panoramic views from the rooftop offer breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape.

The Crazy House is a truly unique and unforgettable experience, offering a glimpse into the creative mind of its architect and a reminder that architecture can be both functional and playful.
