The Ride: Tam Hai

This will be a regular series where I will post my thoughts and photos from the motorbike rides I’ve been on and will go on in the future.

The first post is my last ride from 2 weeks ago, it’s been a nice and fun ride with friends.

The Mother of Vietnam statue and museum

The ride started in Da Nang, we drove towards Hoi An and over the Cua Dai bridge to Tam Ky. It’s a pretty much straight road but offers some scenic views along the way.
Our first stop was the ‘Mother of Vietnam’ statue and museum.

Old and new bricks

After our first stop, we went to one of the old Cham towers in Tam Ky, unfortunately it was closed but we did get some photos from the road.

After a bit of a boring drive on the highway, we turned off to head towards the Tam Hai ferry but not before exploring a bit of an off-road section nearby.

A little bit of off-roading

Once we took the ferry across to Tam Hai, we’ve made our way to the furthest point to see the main sight on the island.


There were some other stops planned but after spending quite a bit of time on Tam Hai, we realised it got late so decided to head back towards Da Nang.

The ferry

The way back started off with great light and a very nice double rainbow but soon turned into torrential rain, to top it off it also got dark.

Overall, it ended up being a great day out with friends.
The rain kind of spoiled a bit the ride back and the roads were mostly straight but Tam Hai is a nice island to visit nearby.
