enough for a good meal of 2 (in hcmc of course) if change S$1000

16,000 (sg rate) 16,300 (vn rate), 300,000VND decent meal for 2

The difference is not significant unless the amount changed is a lot.

got many companies inside the airport, you can use their taxi service ...
or u can go out of the airport, the main road there, you can waive ur hand to call for cab :)

Hi all, thinking of going to hcm for few days.

Any hotels to recommend in the range of say 50-80 sgd range that's girl friendly and not in district 1? Don't like too touristy kind of place, maybe will just pop by district 1 for a meal and look see.

Any Marlboro ice blast for sale over there? If not will get from dfs before flying.

Thanks all..
