When we asked people living in Vietnam about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Expats in Vietnam often join social clubs or activities such as running, art, or language classes. Open Mic nights, trivia nights, live music events and craft beer festivals are other popular social activities. Expats are also known to congregate at bars, cafes and restaurants in cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Many expats living in Vietnam use online forums, meetup websites and apps to meet other foreigners, as well as attending networking events and conferences organized by expat organizations. Finally, many expats teach English in Vietnam; these people often meet other fellow teachers in their schools, or in pubs and restaurants near their place of work," remarked another expat who made the move to Vietnam.

"If you like a bit of very social running/walking, you could join the Hash House Harries (motto: Drinkers with a running problem) in Saigon, Nha Trang, Hoi An or Hanoi. They are a fun exercise group and with the emphasis on 'fun'. Suitable for all ages and weights, male, female, locals and expats. Look them up on the internet," explained one expat living in Vietnam.
