Hi all, this falls under 'everything else'... I love Thailand but have been trying to find a group like this for Vietnam also. Any suggestions please? Khop khun khar 🙏🏽💖

A user is seeking recommendations for expat groups in Vietnam but is cautioned that Vietnam is currently closed to foreigners, highlighting ongoing restrictions due to COVID-19.

My family in HCMC is, has been, and appears still will be, locked in the house for a while longer. The end of the month, maybe? No end in sight, it seems.
