back airport isn't the same bus
i forgot the bus number already
and the place to take is a little further down, not where they drop u off when u came from airport
its at the other side of where they put u down when u arrive from airport

Thanks bro, I'm in rush to change the currencies.
Alangx2 change at klia or any bank is better? (I'm at kampung area now, here don't have cheap currencies exchange like mid valley)

Change a little (approx 1 mil vnd dong ) at KLIA, the rest change inside Ben Than money changer.. it's definitely better rate than KLIA

because getting a sim card there is better than roam
RM25 can get a few GB already, no need to count by days

the 7-day unlimited data SIMs on sale at the airport is cheap enough. 150k or 200k VND. It's more expensive than the normal plans the locals get on the streets, but cheap enough.

I bet to differ. Food there is the most expensive in South East Asia. Infact Spore food also cheaper than Saigon. RM13- RM15/ plate or bowl of simple hawker styled food is not cheap
*
where did you eat? street food is 15k-20k vnd, which is quite okay.

just came back from hanoi
confirms the theory...proper restaurant tak boleh makan punya puke.gif
went to HCM, ate street side pho recommended by airbnb host, very damn good
eat at pho 2000, directly is the most tasteless pho i've ever eaten

went to hanoi, ate a unhygienic back alley yet very famous bun cha
pack with flavours, portion is generous, price is ok lah...50k
thn last day went to bun cha ta hanoi, proper restaurant, more toward touristy like pho 2000
the taste isn't as strong, portion is small...55k without the spring roll

in short my conclusion, if u went vietnam and u dn't dare to eat their street food...DN'T GO laugh.gif
because thats where all the treasure are

Pho2000 is not really that well liked ... Have you tried a lousy food court char kuey teow? You get the same dish of the same name but the taste is soooo different from good pho...
