Vietnam

[MuppeJack]

Using viettel. 290kd from airport counter. Can make calls and 1.5GB Data. If going to countryside. Viettel got best coverage.

How many days or until 1.5GB data is used up?

Are there any SIM with unlimited data for 5days?
Is airport the best place to get SIM, last year when I was there, none of the convenience shops sell SIM. Only roadside elderly aunties are selling them.

You seemed rather desperate.
I see airport counters all displaying 4G sim cards, but not sure if it's really 4g or 3g. In vietnam, 4g is just starting to roll out, although many of the hcm districts have 4g. But there are still a handful using 3g network. The 4g network speed is about 30Mbps.

I bought my sim card more than a year ago at a local market. 4g has not started then. It cost 70k, but without data. I bought top up and activated the daily data. early this year, i went to a Vinaphone authorised outlet to swap it for 4G sim card.
Not sure if 4g sim is common now, otherwise you can just get it at the roadside stall. Just top up some money and activate the daily or weekly plan. A 2gb daily plan is 10kvnd, while a 1.2gb weekly plan is 20kvnd.

Bro, if u are heavy user for data. Easy peasy. just use a different code to get 1.5gb/day unlimited data for less than 1sgd/day. All these plans u are getting from airport combine calls with little high speed data.

It's until the 1.5 GB have been used up and it's 4G now.
I have been using it for the past few months and I'm happy with it.

Airport is easy as they speak basic english.
Once you are in the city, you may have to go shops like The gioi di dong to get your sim card. Trust me i tried it once to get from the city and in the end i have to get my viet bu to talk to them over the phone.

So far viettel is giving 4G for me, i have switch over from 3G to 4G sim card since April.

If both Blue Diamond Hotel and Lan Lan 2 is about the same price, which will you choose? They are just side by side right?

Both under the same boss if i rmb correctly ...
I would take lan lan 2

Both hotel breakfast seems not bad ...
should be considered "above average" for 3* hotel .

Both lowest tier room , some have bath tub, however no window ...
do note that their smallest tier room is 22m2.
actual size might look about 16m2 ... is the norm for hcm hotels to enlarge their room size ... based on my many hotel stays in hcm ...

Your new gf picture ah ? so pretty ...
yup miss going to hcm ... the place there seems so slack ...
the lifestyle not very hectic over there ... people seems friendly

 

[dede1217]

Just a reminder to those going HCM.
Do print out your flight itinenary or save it inside your mobile phone ...
The custom officer would ask to see them ...

Why would you choose lan lan 2? Now both is at $60/- per night for a double room.
