Lodging & construction — DaNang, Vietnam

Summary

This expat transcript provides a cautionary advisory about lodging in Da Nang, Vietnam, specifically warning travelers about extensive construction noise along the beachfront and in surrounding neighborhoods. The speaker highlights the prevalence of ongoing construction, with 30 new high-rises planned and constant hammering and jackhammering from early morning to late night, which may be more disruptive to Western travelers than local residents.
