Yes accommodation is expensive
Shopping is expensive
Err contrary I find transport is also expensive. Not sure if u take the grab bike though
Food also expensive to me. One pho around rm8 to rm14 depending where u eat..but i was told, it's really cheapnif you dare to eat their local food. I couldn't stomach it.

Yes most of the time I was in district 1.

Been there like 10 times for the past 1-2 years

Ciplak good quality deuter bag rm 18 or 100000 dong.

But some of their tour is freaking cheap. I think 20 dollar for one day trip including lunch to Mekong delta.

I not on holiday la. Haha...

There is a crab noodle you should absolutely try it.

Stumble upon it by chance. Walk walk walk that's the only resturant with pic on the menu..

More 2xpensive than Malaysia I reckon

Wented there..

Food for tourist around Malaysia cafe price.
Never try their economy rice..dont dare
Tried my customer canteen food...very nice.
Went to Mekong day trip including lunch was bloody cheap. Think it was usd 8 or something like that

U drink 3 cups. See what happen to your heart

An expat in viet told me. The coffee there is "not" coffee per say.....sonno what he means. Maybe not coffee bean

Donno la. Maybe that's how kwai lo look at our economy rice.

But I do have to say their rice is out of this world. Better than Malaysia and bangkok

I purposely took a second round because of the rice at my customers canteen.

Next time I go I buy their rice. But donno if can bring in malaydia or not.


Their pho around rm 12 to 15 ringgit . Of coz not the shop lot but aircond type.

But no aircond pho also around rm8

I been there so many times never once tried their bhan mi. The ham looks...hmmmm..not appetizing.

Anyone of uol been to their hair saloon?

I go there dig ear only.

Hmm dont dare la. Their charges are so obscure...have to give tips but never state how much....

One expats told me went for hair cut. 3 girls serve him. Ended of few k.

Not so expert. So u usually I just dont go for anything that require service. Expect taxi

True story..ex company trip to viet. Last day of trip one colleague say kena rob. We suspect he went cheong and kena "lo lup" . 5k gone.
