When I lived in Vietnam I had a bright yellow motorbike... I can't tell you how many times I was happy over the fact how easy it was to spot it in an ocean of hundreds of motorbikes 😂

[@Dizdoze]

I'll be in Saigon for a month in October and this realllly gives a nice perspective as to if I like it enough making it longer term in the future. Great content, well done explanations!

[@livinginphuketthailand]

Thanks, glad it was helpful!

[@rosariahi]

Thx for this info, last time in VN was in 2002. Will soon visit again from the US.

[@ninja.teacher]

This is quite an accurate budget based on my experience and what our English teachers tell us.

[@Digseys]

Great video Mike so cheap more than Thailand! I was in Penang last week and surprised how cheap the fuel is I filled 125cc motorbike tank up to the brim from empty and it only cost 6 ringit $1.45

[@missmugo1213]

Thank you for this informative video,looking forward to moving there next month,Same City you're in

[@livinginphuketthailand]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Winedawg2564]

My buddy that I know rents a luxury apartment in Massachusetts that's the exact same size for for $3,000 USD per month. And that's just rent. Not even factoring in the other expenses. Ridiculous!!

[@denis4072]

I watches many KZbin videos in regards to cost of living in Vietnam and what you shown seem to be the magic numbers as from others.

[@danieladisi1685]

l am planning to come to Vietnam early next year for a visit. l am Daniel Adisi from Ghana. Nice videos

[@ScotKuykendall-zy9rj]

Love the video...nice work.

Great breakdown of cost. I am moving to Saigon in a few weeks. Would love to meet up.

Sounds great!

[@francisjacquart9618]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS INVALUABLE INFORMATION. I AM A RETIREE AND LIFE IN VIETNAM, ACCORDING TO YOUR BREAKDOWN, SEEMS PRETTY CHEAP, WHICH IS AMAZING AS COMPARED TO HERE IN CANADA WHERE I LIVE! IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MOVING THERE. MY PROFUSE THANKS AGAIN FOR INFORMING US SUCH IN DETAILS! LOVE AND TAKE CARE!

[@iamvietnamese74]

I much agree Francis! I too live in Canada (Ontario) and it's ridiculous how expensive it is to live here. There is zero comparison between the two for all expenses, both fixed and variable. I would love to move to VN! Maybe one day! :)

[@devotedtravelers]

We are from Canada as well! Went to visit Vietnam few months ago, and absolutely loved that country

Pho 24 is more for Westerners than for Vietnamese . We prefer the authentic taste of Pho at local restaurants

I am shocked. I am obviously living in the wrong place.

[@fongluu]

for getting lost in bike park, maybe try to use airtag ? nice and informative vid. Thanks mate

[@TheSiamerican]

can you really find a 2 br flat in UK for only twice that of VIet Nam? In most US cities the factor is closer to 4X & 5X these days, and I always assumed UK was at par or more expensive than much of the US.

[@paulw1158]

You've got to be looking at a starting price of about £2k ($2400) for a two bedroom flat on the outskirts of London, if that helps Source: Rightmove

[@livinginphuketthailand]

In Newcastle, my home town you can find a 2 bed place for around that price yes. I wouldn't be anywhere near the quality of my current apartment however. You're looking at £650 mininum for two bed unfurnished terraced house.

[@russthomas02]

3 bed house where I live in South Wales starts at around £110 per week or around £95 per week for a 2 bed flat. But who wants to live in South Wales . I would say we need £250 a week or £1k a month just to cover rent and all bills /expenses and that’s without anything else like food , car or mobile etc

[@subtronik9311]

Based on scientific research from Norway and the USA, ideal sauna temperatures are around 80° C. Your sauna was 49° which is way too low. If 80° is too hot, best method is to start around 70° and inscrease the time and temp incrementally to around 80° and around 15-20 minutes, but not to overdo it if it's too difficult. There's plenty of superb analysis of the excellent health benefits of saunas on KZbin. If a hotel or house management doesn't maintain high temperatures for saunas it means they have no idea how hot saunas are meant to be. They do take a while to heat up though.

Hello Mike I have a job offer from a university in Vietnam, and I am now employed in Germany with a respectable wage. Even if the proposed income is lower than in Germany, when I look at the cost of living, I can clearly see that Vietnam is a lot more affordable place to live. Moving to Vietnam might enable me to increase my savings. Are you in accord with me?

[@brallorbow6703]

Extremely affordable. In Thailand you have to double that for the kind of life you are living.

[@destroygaryfunky7053]

@brallor,...I live in Thailand and do so on about equally with this video,.....Maybe you're living in BKK where things tend to be significantly more costly than here in Pattaya. I've lived here for over 9 years and think I'm pretty comfortable actually. I don't drink so I save a good deal,.and I'm not a party animal, appreciating quiet evenings with the gf,....or an occasional hookup via social networking. Cheers.

[@jonathanluong4855]

@@destroygaryfunky7053is it true from your experience cost of living in Chiang Mai will like be less expensive than Phuket, also? I like South East Asia, a lot especially Viet Nam and Thailand, but still undecided of where to retire.

The trucks and industrial zones around Riverside were enough to rule it out for me... but advertised prices were for about 8 million/month for nice two bedroom suites. I see 10 million around Tan Hung or Phu My Hung. It looks like you're paying for high end D7 and stuck out in the badlands a bit. I prefer living a bit more simply. Similar lifestyle with less glitz and glamor for less than mười triệu đồng (

The question of whether Vietnam, is getting more expensive or not is the wrong question to ask, as every where, is getting more expensive, the question should be, is Vietnam getting more expensive than every where else, faster or slower than every where else.

[@whatsname2649]

Good video! Strangely enough I come up with a number very close to yours but not item wise. Less rent, more food, ins., etc. Only I'm calculating for 2. Doesn't effect rent & electric, more for food, transportation, clothes. Gym, entertainment, moot. We like to eat & wander. Booze, beer, wine at home; cheap. Very low rent in indigenous area, not much English, 5 fl. walk up, nothing near by, stores, transportation. None of think is a problem. Most foreigners NEVER get just how inexpensive one can live in Vietnam! I emphasize the word inexpensive, because it implies inferiority. I don't see it that way. Clean, well lit & secure. Works for us. Vietnam ❤👍🇻🇳🥢🏠🏝️
