Vietnam

[Techadd]

means 5pm reach back hotel. and their time estimates are quite acurrate by plus minus 30mins lar

however we suold always expect the unexpected, a puntured tire.. or an accidnet and causes a massive jam... xD , as a travel agent, i would not recommend my guest for such an arrangement unless he undertakes that we will not be held responsible if he misses the flight due to unforseen circumstences...

will you blame sinh cafe if u missed your flight?

hi, needed some help. though i have been reading this thread but still abit blur.

i am going to vietnam with my parents from 1-5 march. Landing in HCMC.
Wondering what are the must go places in HCMC other then Cu Chi tunnels?
Is it advisable to go to Dalat in such a short stay?
Should i go to Dalat and skip Mekong Delta or vice versa?
As there is 4 of us, is there such thing as booking a cab to bring us around the city of HCMC?

This will be our first trip to HCMC. so hopefully can cover the basics and maybe some extra. =D

Thanks in advance!

 

[behappier]

I think you should not visit Dalat in such a short stay. HCMC, I think Cu Chi Tunnels and taking cab around the city are enough already (yes, you can book a cab to bring aroudn the city, can ask the taxi corp directly or book through tour agent like Sinh Cafe)

You can try Mekong Delta if you like rivers, delta, or can try Vung Tau if you like sea, climbing mountain.

Hope it helps!

behappier: Thanks for your reply.

in that case maybe i will skip Dalat then.. will go for the Mekong Delta.. shorter bus trip as well = not so tiring. =D

btw, just another question, is it advisable to wear bermumdas?

go to war museum, independence palace, thien hau temple, notre dame cathedral, central post office, ben thanh market.., stay away from shopping centers, they sell stuffs pretty expensive..

 

[richneo]

ben thanh market also sell things expensively i feel

you'll just have to jump from shop to shop since most of the shops sell the same products as others.. and bargain real hard..

Sinhcafe

I read from some travel book tat this is the original and real sinhcafe. Can anyone verify? Coz there are many sinhcafe websites. just a slight difference in the sequence of the url.

http://www.sinhcafevn.com/

If this website is indeed the real one, I'm interested in some of the overnight tours. I want to book early coz unlike day tour, they need to book accommodation for us plus, the period i'm going, late apr, seems to be their holiday. When i email to enquire, they requested for advance bank transfer. Izzit safe? Will i incur any bank charges if i transfer from banks in singapore to their banks?

Kindy advise. Thanks.
