Techadd,

Offer me some Good hotel or guesthouse in Saigon as my budget for a person is less than US$10. For me, i have a total of 2 person traveling(me and a friend). However, i would like to do a reservation and hope to pay up on the day i am arriving. Will be arriving on the 15th July from Nha Trang. As i be moving around, so i hope to only find a short stay. I have planned to travel to Mekong for a 2 day 1 night tour? Any recommendation for that?

My intended stay in vietnam is from 6th July (touching down in the evening) to 19th July (flying off at 2pm). I will be starting my journey from Hanoi - Hue - Hoi An - Nha Trang - Saigon (city and mekong). Please advise me on what offers you have for my trip. As i am doing backpacking, so i have certain budget constraints....

Thanks!!

Er.. the company i am in only have contracts for 3 star accommodation upwards =/ the primary reason why we dun do 2 star hotel and guesthouse is because they dun provide us with contracts or the price is primarily same as the one they are charging with the rack rate hence it is not feasible for us to provide accommodation as it will only make the 2 star or guest house accommodation more expensive. If you are doing backpacking then your most probably option is the Sinh Cafe tour as they do sell tour packages with backpackers style in mind. they do have offices in both Hanoi and Saigon and rep offices some other provinces that you are travel ling to. And if i am not wrong, they do accept payment upon arrival but i'm not sure if they will ask for your credit card detaisl for guarantee or not.

Mekong 2 day 1 night tour is only recommended if you are planning to go on a mekong morning floating market boat ride. however do please check the weather schedule, its rainy season in july as well..

if u plan on changing to USD, then goldsmith shop in Dist 1 gives a better xchange rate. if u plan on unsing SGD for xchange, then money changers in dist 1 is ok also.

Current Rate as of today 18 June 2008 -

SGD 1 = 13,511
USD 1 = 16,622

Figures by Vietcom Bank

yup, we can help you do the booking but this service is only included as a service package for clients who book hotel accommodation or travel package with us. The reason is because there is no agent discounted rate for train tickets and if you are just looking for train ticket booking from us, you end up paying a little more for the administration fees incurred.
