The idea of the trip came up at 11 o’clock at night, so at 1 o’clock in the morning we picked up our backpacks and went from Hanoi to Thai Binh, so we didn’t prepare much.

From: Hanoi
Believe it or not, my best friend and I just made a trip from Hanoi to Thai Binh to see the infinity sea (Thuy Xuan beach in Thai Thuy, Thai Binh) “in legend” but in our pocket, we only had a small amount of money. full… 10,000 dongs.
Two daughters, in their 20s and with great recklessness and determination. We decided to go in the night without much preparation. Let me tell you guys…
As a travel blogger myself, I really want to explore new destinations, partly because of work, partly because of passion and hobby. I have watched a lot of pictures and videos about the infinity sea in Thai Binh, but due to the school schedule, I have not been able to arrange the time to go.
That night, I was surfing the net as usual when I came across videos about the infinity sea in Thai Binh. I suddenly thought, would it be better to stop, just stay at home and stay restless.
Before leaving, I also asked a few friends, including a guy from Thai Binh. He said that if you want to go to the infinity sea, you have to watch the water level and tide. If the tide is high, you can’t go, and if the tide is low, it’s okay.
After listening, I immediately went to an electronic software and checked the tides in the infinity sea the next day. Fortunately, the water level is ideal. And so at exactly 11 o’clock at night, I decided to pack my backpack and go.
I myself have been quite a professional backpacker when riding motorbikes to many provinces and cities across the country.(Photos from another trip)
The idea for the trip was that I came up, and as usual, I asked my best friend to come along. My best friend is very easygoing, I invite him wherever I go, and he always agrees.
At exactly 1 a.m., the two of them were on a familiar motorbike, following the google map. Going so early because I have consulted online, the best time to watch the infinity sea will be at dawn, early morning. From Hanoi to Thai Binh will take about 2-3 hours depending on the speed, so I decided to stay up and wait for 1 hour to go.
From the time of deciding to go to the time of starting the engine is only 2 hours. The luggage we brought was only a backpack, a few clothes inside and exactly 100,000 VND.
Trong 100.000đ mang theo đó, mình đã dùng tới 90.000đ, gần như toàn bộ số tiền để đổ xăng. Và thế là còn đúng 10.000đ dắt túi từ Hà Nội về tới Thái Bình.
It is also very fortunate that during the journey, I did not encounter any problems, otherwise I would give up, because 10,000 VND can’t do anything.
Fortunately, because I have a lot of experience in traveling by motorbike, night driving is not too difficult for me. We just follow the instructions of google map, go forever, go forever. Then after about 3 hours, we also reached the destination – Infinity Sea, Thai Binh.
Infinity sea – Thuy Xuan beach in Thai Thuy, Thai Binh at dawn and in the morning.
When they got there, the last 0,5$ left in their pocket also spent all the balls. 5000 VND to buy water, the remaining 5000 VND to park the motorbike, then we walk to see the sea.
The infinity sea is indeed very beautiful but requires the walker to walk quite a distance. Because near the sea, there will initially be an area of mangrove forest, which is still not very infinity. Need to go far from the shore, out of sight of the mangrove forest, the scenery will be extremely beautiful.
It took me about 40 minutes to walk to the photo areas. However, the road is like going to transplant is real. Imagine how we wade in the fields, that’s how we went that day. Surrounded by mud, splashed all over clothes, limbs. Fortunately, because I brought spare clothes, when I went out there, there were no people, my friend covered me so that I could “transform”.
Me and my friend literally got muddy hands and feet while walking in the infinity sea.
But fortunately still remember to bring clothes to change and take pictures of “virtual life”.
My advice is that if you want to come here to see the scenery, bring your boots to wade to avoid getting dirty, and also bring spare clothes like me. The way out is so hard, but when you get there, it’s really worth it.
On most of the trips, my best friend and I always go together. Not because my friend does the same job as me, nor because he is a kid who loves to travel. But simply because it’s my best friend.
When going with me, my friend can’t even take good pictures, but instead, he has to shoot, take pictures for me, go with me through bad roads, busy schedules and sometimes make my body very tired. tired. Not everyone is ready to go anytime, anywhere and is not afraid to overcome difficulties in such trips.
Most of the photos and videos of my travels are made by a close friend.
I remember the time we went to Buon Ma Thuot together, the two of us had a small accident, rode a motorbike and crashed into a dog. Although the injury was not too severe, his friend even suffered temporary memory loss.
Waking up after the fall, it vaguely remembers where it is. When I asked, it still remembers personal information, who I am, who my parents are, but absolutely does not remember why I and it are here. Then the scratches on the face, on the limbs, every time he passed the mirror and saw it, he asked himself why they appeared.
At that time, I was confused, confused and loved my friend. The two of them went through a 10-day journey to the Central Highlands, but on the 8th and 9th day, he forgot all the beautiful memories of the past days.
After researching online and then taking it to the pharmacy and asking carefully, I felt more secure because everyone said that after 24 hours, such memory loss would go away. And it is true that the next day, after waking up for a while, everything went back to normal.
And so we’ve been playing together for 7-8 years so far. I often joke that, even though we play for a long time and are close to each other, the two of us are always fighting and happy with each other anytime, anywhere, even when we are traveling together. But I have to admit that, if I don’t go with it, my trip will feel like something is missing.
The rare photo we took together when we were traveling, it was the one we just fell over in Buon Ma Thuot.
There were times when the two of them also quarreled, but through the quarrels and anger, it didn’t take long, the two of them laughed and planned the next trip.
Through the trips, in addition to new experiences, new challenges, new relationships, dishes from all over the world, I am sure that what I gain is friendship!
Going back a bit about the story of the infinity sea in Thai Binh, if you or your family intend to go on this 2/9 holiday, you should reconsider. Because I checked through the electronic application, I found that from September 1 to September 6, all mornings according to the tide calendar, the water is high. So it will not be possible to go and enjoy the beauty here.
Please check the tide schedule in advance to choose a low water day, for the most complete and safe trip.
Here is the tide schedule I view on the electronic application for your reference:
