Wonder if changing larger notes will yield a better rate?

yes, larger notes mean easier to wash money.

are you doing a big business in vietnam?

Sim cards will be alive for 2 months after the last transaction. If you do a top up , send sms etc, it will be live for the next 2 months.
Those bought in airport not so sure. When you buy in airport, they said can use for 1 or 2 months only, but not sure if the sim cards are really programed to expired by a certain date.

Yup it happens to me before when I was not in hcmc for 3 month and my previous mobifone got no signal at all

Hi there, last year I went to Sea Phoenix at da nang.. I rmb there are four bridges linking the mainland (with the airport) and the beach area, my hotel iirc was along the road of the bottom bridge, with the mainland having a small shopping mall and an amusement park.. for my hotel, I would say it is quiet for it's location

which date? 1k notes? just saw the if in your statement, did you exchange $1k?

last week it ranged from 16650 to 16725 in singapore. i hope you are not comparing the best rate in vn versus the worst in sing.

I only changed $500 using hundred dollar bills. 29th aug, 16760 not sure if it's the best in vn, just the rate at Ha Tam.

I checked on cashchanger website saw 16600 (oops my bad! can't recall if it's by location or best rate).

Point is, personal experience, change in VN seems better lor

You will receive notifications if there is a disc code. But generally is already quite cheap w/o the code.

To be honest, a 1% difference is pretty small, not worth the effort in my opinion, SG's rate is still pretty decent at 16,600, but of course can change a bit and go there change more if you want.

Anyway, cheapest and most convenient SIM card during my trip this time was from Vinaphone at the airport, only 105k for 5GB data.

Pretty cheap compared to the rest.

Rented a bike for 260K for 2 and a half day this trip, seems cheaper than previously.
