I just travelled frm hcmc to nha trang. Go for direct bus
Take Phuong Trang Bus (board from De Tham) will cost u 215k VND.
Another bus service (next to Futa Bus office @ De Tham) that has 7am and 12 midnight buses that cost 149k VND.

A tip is to travel on the night bus... they make lesser toilet stops and HCMC to Nhatrang only 9 hours at night on sleeper bus compared to 12-13 hrs in the day

Book your bus tickets early...

I've been reading the past 15 pages but I cannot figure out, should I change VND in Singapore or is still better to change at HCM airport? What currency do we spend there? Thanks!!

Never change VND in Singapore. Change at the goldshops opposite Ben Thanh market. An example of what u get for 1 SGD:

Yahoo interbank rate: 16,300
Singapore money changers: 15,900
Ben Thanh money changers: 16350
Tan Son Nhat Airport: 16,200

Yes thats right, the gold shops there give better rates than interbank! Amazing right?

I am planning a trip to HCM for the family, may I ask for the opinions of bros whether is 4d3n sufficient, or 5d4n?

From reading this thread, I am abit worried about having nothing to do if I choose to stay 5d4n.

Any simple itinerary to suggest as well?

Thanks in advance for any reply.
