Hi Techadd,

Oh what is the exchange rate at those gold shops? I'm looking at women's clothing. As for the coffe I confirm with you later.

I'll be going on 11-14 Jul, can ask you for availability and price for 3 twin rooms at Elios? Thanks.

Gold smith shop will only give higher rates if you exchange USD -> Dong..

When is the strawberry season in Dalat? I will be there in the 1st week of Aug. Any chance of visiting the farm and pay the farmer 5USD for picking the strawberries?

Techadd do you handle hotels in Dalat? Im interested in the Dreams Hotel.

Let me check on the season of strawberry for this year...

I need exact date of your Check in to Dalat and Check Out for Hotel Enquiry.

i dunno if the farmers still maintain the USD5 deal.. here got inflation also...

the pricing not that cheap over there. china is in fact cheaper for clothing. or taiwan.

Yes just discovered as well. On hindsight should've gone to Korea instead. Bought tickets already so just take as a holiday lor.

Anyone knows the current exchange rate at those 'goldshops' for Sing $ & US$?
Currently rate at money changer at people's park is S$1 = 12,500 dong

4D3N HCM trip

Hi Techadd,

I'll be going to HCM for 4D3N trip on 25 Jul to 28 Jul.
Can you advise me on the rate for Elios hotel.

Will a 1D trip for mekong Delta be sufficient

On the average, will SGD 500 be sufficient for the trip?
What the average spending on meals per day?

Sorry..btw..I cant seem to locate Bach Dach, the ice cream parlour. Any nearby landmarks?

Thanks in advance!

i'll check if Elios Hotel is available and advise you tomorrow on the rates, are you looking for a double bed or a twin bed? how many rooms do you need?
1D Mekong Delta trip is enough, SGD500 is sufficiently enough unless you plan dining in 5 star hotel for every meals

Its near The Notre Dame Cathdral

Lac Vien is a 2 star mini hotel, if you dun mind the accomodation or the breakfast , it is alright place to stay i guess

hi guys,

need your help in suggestions..

had booked tix to HCM end jul, for 5D4N. was wondering if can squeeze da lat with cu chi AND shopping in these 5 days? one of friend die die must go cu chi and we're kindof more towards da lat (scenary type). so kind of in deadlock now. sigh.

was wondering if other then sinhcafe, are there any other tour agencies we can explore and if there are other agencies that provides transport to and from da lat - night buses (to save on day time), anyone any ideas?

initial plan was :

D1: Arrive HCM, proceed to cu chi tunnel
D2: Depart for Da Lat
D3: Activities at Da lat (can recommend if we shld go with sinhcafe's 2D1N tour http://www.sinhcafevn.com/Tour_Detail.asp which seems rather ex or we can go on some guided trek (leisure) or explore the place ourselves? which is recommended??
D4: either carry on with Da Lat tour or proceed back to HCM. (if proceed back to HCM in morning say 7-8am, what time rough reach HCM? heard that ben thah market closes at 6pm?
D5: flying back to SG

there's no time for shopping at all!! .. need to squeeze that in..

BTW, travel hours to da lat from HCM is it around 8hrs? hai, am really hoping to find a night bus or sort of to travel to and back from da lat, so can squeeze in at least half a day of shopping around HCM etc.

if da lat is impossible, where else is recommended other then cu chi? (nice sceneries types?)

suggestions, feedbacks please?

Thanks in advance guys!
