Been to hoi an, if u read travelfish website, it said basically all, if nt most, outsource their clothes to out of town people to make your clothes. It's not tailored in house. So you will get poor material and workmanship.

the best ones are the the one right after tet and mid-autumn's but it will be very noisy as there will be many local tourists.

This is a Hue speciality. Can get one for 30k or so. Another one to try while here is Banh Nem.. or something, its rice cake with shrimp steamed in leaf. Can find at Com Viet.

Anyway, I have alot of THB which I don't I'm using anymore. Anywhere I can change them into VND while at Hoi An or HCMC?
