I recently asked in this thread (link) about taking my 4-wheel electric mobility scooter on my flight back to Vietnam (yes, I can on Vietnam Airlines).
Now I'm wondering if anyone can share PERSONAL EXPERIENCE or observations about using an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter to get around in District 1 HCMC and nearby areas.
I'll be bringing this 4-wheel scooter (link) with me on the flight to SGN airport (it does easily disassemble into 4 main parts).
I'll initially be staying in Vũng Tàu when I arrive in the first week of July, but I'll be back to district 1 for 2 or 3 days later in the month.
I can walk short distances (1 city block) with a cane while wearing a prosthetic boot on my foot.
However, I love to be an urban explorer, so I'm hoping my fiancée and I can rediscover some of our favorite places easily and independently.
So, some questions:
1. Did you find it difficult to navigate the sidewalks/streets on your mobility device?
2. Did you find any van services specializing in wheelchair transport?
I can use a large SUV when the scooter chair is broken down into 4 pieces, but I might be interested in paying more for a van with a lift, under certain circumstances.
Thanks for any helpful replies.
