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.

Where did you rent and ride the bike? In hcm or other city?

Most place in Vietnam you can rent a bike and ride yourself, no need license just passport.

Sent from Sony F8332 using GAGT

I rented near Phạm Ngũ Lão, a lot of bike rentals there as it's the backpackers area, compared to other areas.

Just walk around they have the "Bike for Rent" sign place on the bikes then just ask them price.

They will take your passport and return you when you return the bike.

Just remember to take photos of any major scratches or dents when you collect the bike.

you are good with numbers ya. somehow cashchanger shows 16715.

yes, for $500, you got 22500 dong more. next time, please exchange a few k's

hah my so called sgd10 difference is based on my impression of Singapore's 16600 rate against ha tam's 16760 rate lo.

On hindsight from my first visit to hcmc, was surprised to know that hcmc D1 cost of living is probably high for the locals.
the local fares like bun bo hue, pho, banh beo is like typically 40~60k

Vinaphone best. But que also longest and that day I went, got a bunch of malaysian tourists taking their own sweet time and dunno what they want.

No idea why the other shop dun sell at a more competitive price.
