The bhd cinema. Got so many type. So confusing.

Onyx, dlx, etc. Then got first class, vip, sofa, Simi.

Then first class is right to the front of the cinema. Not at the back.

Anyhow whack only. Hope I get the right ticket.

Oh first time there ah...

Also ok.

My best helper when I first go to hcmc were the front counter people.

Most hotels in hcmc will have easy to read tourist maps.

It depends on the size of the super market.

the small ones Even if they do sell, they will mostly sell home-use.

Go to the big ones.

Can also try look for their local 五金店 street
Ly thuong kiet

hi all,

Thinking of going Hanoi in mid-sept, wondering what's the weather like? I see like it could be in typhoon season. Hot still ok, rain if it's those shower type 1-2hour only also ok.

Intending to go Ninh Binh for a day trip or something. Any advice is appreciated !

TIA

bangkok more solo traveler friendly with good mrt network and malls next to train station just like sg. No need to rely on cab. And Thai behave more better.

With up and coming mrt, hcm will also be friendlier.

The black building at the back is the “Capella”? Near Calmette?

Anyone stay at ben thanh tower before?
Never try this svc apt before

I don't really fancy staying in service apartment in Vietnam because the service rendered usually don't match the high price we pay.

If want service apartment, I will only recommend Oakwood

Hi, may I know is there priority lane at immigrations/customs for Vietnam Airlines business class for arrivals and departures at Tan Son Nhat international airport HCMC. Saw many reviews that the queues are long and crowded, especially for departure.

Departure there is priority queue on the right side, together with air crew/elderly/disabled

Thanks. Any idea does arrival at HCMC also have priority lane?
It’s my first time visiting Vietnam and 8 yrs since my last vacation to BKK. So pls pardon me if I asked silly questions.. anxiety is real 😂
i’ve checked with a few other airlines under SkyTeam as well as Cathay and Emirates but they all replied no priority lanes. So it seems only Vietnam Airlines can issue access to priority lane?? Any expert can advise?

For arrival... The immigration Queue for Sky Priority is on the far left...
It is easy to identify as they use blue queue stand to corner the entire area. It is together with the ariline crew and diplomats

For Departure... The immigration for Sky priority is on the Far Right...

Same thing blue Queue stand cornering the whole area. If you don't know. Just approach any of the Staffs or officer standing around the Immigration area and they will point you to the correct direction

From my experience, only Gold Sky priority and above is able to use the Skypriority immigration counter.

Additionally... if your vn airline air ticket is not "Biz class"...
Make sure your Vn air boarding pass print out your Skypriority Status and Skypriority number.

It can be found on the smaller portions of your boarding pass...
Below your name

SVR = SILVER
TNM = Titanium
GLD = GOLD
PNM = PLATINUM

It will be in this format
SVR 12345678
