To be honest... dont declare... will make things worse. The customs sometimes make trouble, detain u a while to get a bribe from you.

Am in HCM, changed at Ha Tam on Sat at 16,668. The day before at arcade the best rate I seen was 16,600.
Also mentioned here, the money changer inside Ben Thanh west gate rate seems competitive as well.
Bought Viettel unlimited data at airport, network so far so good in Mui Ne and HCM. Cost is 200k dong.
The Mui Ne sleeper bus I took Futa and the other coy, both are fine. Took 5 hours, cause at the beginning and ending, it will pick up and alight at different resorts hence the Long delay.

How much is the moneychanger at Benh Thanh westgate vs 16,668 at Ha Tam roughly? I see a lot of Vietnamese at Ha Tam. if benh thanh west gate has really good rates, we will see mainly tourists at Ha Tam.
Recently I notice the hcmc international exit passport check queue is getting worse and it seems to be competing with bkk airport to see who gets the longest queue. As I stay near airport, I used to come in before check in counter close. But nowadays please do come early and I always see super long queue for passport checks.

6.30am onwards the queue will be like this. I came back on Sunday morning
the best rate in singapore the day before was 16680.
if i were to go to mui ne, i would get all my dongs in singapore and then head to the west terminal from tsn directly, avoiding downtown saigon.
if they can source enough $1000 in vietnam. but even 350 pieces is doable unless they do full body pat like in airports in some other countries. i have done that a few times.

no wonder i always reach thurs or friday
I came back on wednesday 8am. The queue was long like this.
Afternoon should be quite ok.
Usually i come only 1 hour before flight. Still able to make it. Just don't go elsewhere after check in.
They have many type of food lah, don't worry. Their service staff usually also understand some English or chinese. Some can speak too.
Most will recommend The Sinh Tourist, but I booked with Sapphire Travel, also in Pham Ngu Lao area. Paid only VND180K per pax for a whole day tour to Mekong Delta, include 2 way, lunch, sampan ride, etc. Very cheap! If you prefer private or smaller group, it will be more ex. Btw, my viet wife used to be in hotel business and she thinks Sinh ones too normal and not worth the price, so she picked this.

I have seen before, luckily thanks to my baby. For those not aware, and not sure if TSN airport advertise it, they have implemented priority queue for those with handicap, young children and old folks, just approach airport staff to enquire and they will bring you to the priority Q, super fast clear the custom in few minutes. So good if you meet those criteria...LOL.
