Vietnam

i'm planning to visit Vung Tau from hcmc, is there anything to do at night there such as nite markets, bars to chill? still thinking if i should stay 1 nite there, or is a day trip sufficient?

I am going HCMC next Mon for 2 weeks. spouse there for biz trip. free accom for me anwyay.

It's a last minutes decision, no planning yet. anyone can suggest good local tour to take in HCMC to nearer provinces?

2 weeks in HCMC alone damn sian! Go dalat for 2 - 3 days (or even further) if you dont mind leaving your spouse alone in HCMC.

Hi,

I will aso be vsiting vietnam in Dec. Wll be going to HCM - Dalat - Nha Thrang - HCM.

Did a search on the web and discovered a amusement park in Nha Thrang called 'Vinepearl'. Anyone been there before? Any reviews? Is it worth going as from what I can find is that there is this long cable car ride which cost 300000 dong ($30 sgd) and is the world longest cable car ride. Feels too ex for me?? and also the rides are outdated. Anyone keen to share??

Secondly, I am concern about the safety. As I will be going with only 1 friend and I am hoping to visit some scenic places there for photgraphy. Was wondering if it is safe to just bring my cam or I must hide it when I walk along streets. It would be very cumbersome if I would need to bring a big bag when I go out... Any comments?

Tks

based on current currency exchange, 300k is 20sgd only..

i was wondering how much dong shld i change? i heard usd is accepted there but then i scare if i go only with usd, hawkers on the streets may not accept. also, usd is more valuable in the sense that i can always change to sgd easily back here.

any advice?

I went HCMC alone and I ended up making lots of friends ! Clubbing over there is more happening than here.

No point changing USD. If they quote u in usd just tell them how much will it be in dong...

1 USD = 20k dong at least
1 SGD = 16k dong at least

above rate from Jewellery shop in D1

Airport is about 15974....

U pay USD for items that is quote in dong, u faced the seller own exchange rate which is usually lousy
