HO CHI MINH, VIETNAM (4D5N W/ ₱12,000 BUDGET)

Hey guys! I'm here to share another budget trip for you! We recently visited Ho Chi Minh City for 4 days and 5 nights and we only spent ₱12,110
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Travel Tips:
1. Way better to withdraw money via the atm instead of exchanging php/usd to vnd. We used Gotyme to withdraw and very hassle free sya.
2. Bring an umbrella for the heat or possible rainy days (small umbrellas are allowed on hand-carry)
3. DO NOT RUN when you cross the street. TRUST that the motorbikes WILL dodge you! So just remain calm hehe
4. Everything is super cheap in vietnam!
5. Maximize the grab app.
6. Coffee lovers' haven! Very nice pasalubong to guys!
7. WAG MAG OVERWEIGHT SA BAGAHE. Dito sa Pilipinas hindi masyado mahigpit sa pag check ng timbang ng hand carry PERO super higpit sa HCMC. hindi namin to naranasan sa Hanoi, charge to experience na 'to samin para maging lesson din sa ibang travelers hehe. andami kong natapon na gamit para lang hindi magbayad ng 75usd for a check in baggage.

If coffee lover kayo, you must visit Vietnam. 2nd largest coffee producer in the world. And try in Dalat the best place for me in Vietnam. That is why we keep on coming back to Vietnam. ❤❤❤ lots of things to see in Vietnam. And we are really glad that, we were stocked in Vietnam during Pandemic.
