there are others who know much more... like guni, facewash
my knowledge about Vietnam is just basic compared to them. I only know certain parts of hcmc and hanoi....

they.... many parts of vietnam haha!

due to my work I travel very regularly to hcmc and hanoi. at least 1-2 per month.
even though I have made like hundreds of trips to vietnam but sadly till date, i never had the chance to really be a true tourist in Vietnam

so if people ask me what to expect inside "Saigon Post office" or some of the Vietnam museums.... i can't answer

mainly cafes and food in the small roads branching out from Nguyen Van Troi Street and Hoang Van Thu Street

the food there is extremely cheap, especially those food stalls and drink stalls near govt primary, sec and high schools.

milk tea like 6000. fried rice, friend noodles like 20K

D2... i hope you are not staying in the inner areas of D2 whereby the Condos are built. The travelling distance and time is crazy
personally, i don't like to stay in D2 because there is a timing restriction on the roads, like some of the main roads will be closed after 8pm/9pm...
If you are riding motorbike or car, you will need to make a big de-tour

Cannot wait to eat 25k com suon

I will be based in those very areas but I will take things slow

Are you talking about The market Cho Binh Tay??? It is in D5

Not far...

Another one you can consider is Cho An Dong
It is next to An Dong Plaza and Windsor Hotel

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone have a basic itinerary for a 1st time Solo to HCMC?

Have scrolled close to 20 pages back and have a basic idea but still confused due to the D1s and D5s stuff.

Would appreciate if there can be recommendations for accommodation, food and shopping areas to visit.

Also read about the night markets but abit confused over what to expect. Isit wise to bargain over there ?

 

[Henabi]

Yes bargain.
There are plenty of YouTube videos showing how to bargain in Ben thanh market

Hotel - Stay in any hotel in D1 / D3
Food - Pho Bo, Bun bo Hue, Banh xeo, banh knot, Banh Mi, Oc (Just go to one of their fast food restaurant call Mon hue, you can almost everything there)
Shopping - Saigon center D1, Vincom center D1, Crescent mall D7. VIvo SC D7.
Night market - Ben thanh, nothing much.

If you like something like Paltinum mall in BKK, can try an dong market.

Or nearer one is opposite Saigon center the saigon sq.
