This is great. Vietnam is on my bucket list. Wanna rent a motorbike and ride the whole length of the country. An epic road trip. A financial piece of advice: count your zeroes!😂

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

You have to do this motorbike trip!

[@FeliceOrWhat]

I bought a motorbike back in November 2022 in Hanoi. Now I'm in Cambodia and still with my bike ;) If u get the chance, do it. It's an amazing experience.

Wow! Hanoi looks so lovely!! Such peaceful vibes for a bustling city

[@tamilsoljaz891]

vietnam is one of my fav countries to bro i only went to saigon

[@tranthichinh6233]

OMG !! I'm Vietnamese and living in Ha Noi, I've watched and followed your videos for such a long time. Thanks to your channel I got interesting videos to enjoy and my English is improved so much, I always imagine and hope that you will come to Vietnam again to travel, to make videos some day and maybe... I'll have the opportunity to see you in person in Ha Noi at the same time. But perhaps I missed the opportunity to see you face to face T.T

[@stavroslask1292]

He said “handle the Dong”

[@TheClashNerd]

These prices are insanely good!

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

Yep, one of the most affordable countries in the world

[@mikekelly702]

Great Video Drew..One Question......how difficult was immigration/customs? ❤❤💯💯Keep posting the good vibes!!!

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

it's easy! You can just apply for your Visa on Arrival in advance, and then show the paper to the immigration officer and he stamps your passport - very easy!

[@pillowtalker8398]

I don’t think so. It’s a valid question. You never know what you get when you apply. For golden week this year they gave me a 10 day visa a week late. Leaving me to just roam about HCMC and spend money for three days. A lot of travelers complain about this.

[@Dracopol]

Is it strange to see multiple videos where Drew proclaims his love of the dong?

[@amaljoe367]

My neighbour who came for vacation from Vietnam once gave me a 10,000 Dong note for my coin collection. I thought he was a millionaire back in Vietnam 😪

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

love it!

[@wheeliebeast7679]

The only currency name capable of making me giggle like I'm still going through puberty

[@bhengmahal]

Hi Drew I love to watch all your travels video . Hope to have a copy .God bless you always

[@watchouch]

To vietnamese people, dong means dollar. When we talk about the price of something, we don't include "dong" in our conversation. For example: it costs 4 dollars For vietnamese people: it costs 40 thousands. We tend to leave the word "dong" out. And thousand(s) secretly becomes the name of the currency. Same rule goes for million(s) and billion(s).

[@watchouch]

One tip is that you should just remove 000 in your head. For example, just think the donuts costed 50. You gave her 100 then should expect to have 50 back 😂

[@ThanhPham-fx6eb]

Tip for crossing street in Vietnam: Many tourist foreigners scared of traffic in VN . Don’t worry about it! The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! -motobykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not run and stop suddently , accident immidiatly ! Don’t be affraid off and do it if you want to be safety in the crazy- rule traffic in Vietnam.

[@mercedes4328]

I would be so confused with the money in Vietnam.

[@Berri_forxever_]

I LOVE LOVE Vietnam! I have went 2 times, and actually came back 3 days ago. I’ve went to Hắn ơi, hồ chí mình , Đã nâng and went to Ba na hills!

Phõ soup is literally some of the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. I’d love to go to Vietnam and buy all the Phõ my American dollars can by. 🤤 🍜

[@KL_Youtube3174]

I live in Ho Chi Minh City and i very happy when some famous KZbinr review my country

[@pagrant]

I been to Vietnam ion a cruise, and it was confusing, all the old Turkish Lira so confusing, also the Hungarian money was very confusing when we went last year

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

yes , yes and yes!

[@vthpg_]

VND it's very confusing for foreigners cuz if you want to be a REAL millionaire then you'll have to have above 1 mil USD and not VND :) But if you wanna be a billionaire in Viet Nam you'll need above 1 trillion VND and lots of cars.

[@nart204]

8 million vietnamese Dong is equavalent of 16,000 + round of 17000 pesos in philippine currency ☕☕🥛🥛👍👍👋👋

[@marijusofficial]

So true,looking forward to come back to Vietnam.Need to visit Hanoi for become millionaire or even billionaire.Easiest way to become millionaire.

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

amazing country!

[@jeffreysetapak]

In Vietnam, nobody will use Vietnamese Dong to buy a brand new motorcycle or car. Even using a bank cheque to write a few hundred billion or a trillion Dong is also a hassle

[@Reeferjedi]

"Handle the legendary Dong" 😂

[@raymondlianto9882]

Whoa, the prices of goods are so cheap in this country.

[@aymentriki6723]

This is similar to the Algerian Dinar currency

You are the best, God bless you always.

[@billyfink1234]

Haha i just left Hanoi Yesterday I went to an HSBC atm because with limits of only two or three million dong and the associated fees i found it a better deal than the vietnamese bank atms

[@sobeit1927]

I read that if you are earning 400 dollars / month you are amongst the top 20% earner in Vietnam

[@MrBobbyw121]

People say it would be too hard to use a currency like bitcoin since it's too hard to convert. Yet these people are using a currency with 6 and 7 zeros in it.

Youre not welcomed here

[@Timbmusicaaa]

Vietnam hasbecome my favourite country in Asia, for many reasons, but the main reason being, my girlfriend is Vietnamese, and she is by far, the best person I've ever met, very supportive, very kind and very caring, life since I met her became a lot easier and a lot less sad/stressful, there has been happening a lot in my life over the last few years, I think I haven't been this happy in years, the last time I was this happy, was surely like 11 years ago or something, anyway, she has for sure fixed my mild form of depression I still had for the past 2 years (I am now not at all sad) 6 years ago I did not think I would've made it this far, 6 years later, and I am still alive, and feeling better than ever

[@stacynguyen7353]

I was told by my family in vietnam recently that the government is informing the people that if they want to keep tourism coming in they need to not rip people off and give the country a bad reputation or over time no one will come anymore and everyone will loose money/ business

[@blueskyalchemist623]

That is true. Lots of people try to take advantage of tourists, so government has to jump in to protect the local tourist industry

[@TriyameandbabiShow]

Yea I live in Vietnam

[@briandrake6881]

I am going camping there. Chopper ride and everything.

[@jessed6379]

I don't understand how it was confusing buying those donuts when she spoke clear English and gave you the price and nothing about it was confusing

[@HealthyLifestyled788]

I'm currently in Vietnam,I don't understand the money lol😅😅 how much is 500.000 in USD?

Please visit Cambodia 🇰🇭 brother

Hey, Drew. Huge fan here. Do you offset your carbon footprint? That's something I would love to get some tips about. Thanks!

That is why mc Donald fall in Vietnam

That's a lot of dong 🗿

[@pillowtalker8398]

As soon as I saw the title I knew. Yeah it’s annoying. Brazil used to be like this until they adjusted the real.

[@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky]

i never went to Brazil when the currency was inflated!

[@pillowtalker8398]

@@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky honestly I want to know about how you get your Vietnamese tourist visa. For me? It throws off any schedule. Just curious.

[@BoboBloxham]

50 bowls of Pho for 1mill? nah, bowl of pho is like 50K so more like 20 bowls. However, the good shit is more like 60 to 70 a bowl so, 20 is the limit in terms of price to quality/quantity.

I didn't know 😅😅😅 thanks for sharing.I got confused my taxi driver told me 150 thousand I didn't understand 😮😅

I don't understand why they don't just switch currencies. Like turn 1,000 into 1 dong, or something.

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

It’s not that easy. We desire our cash bills without .000 like you stated but it has a lot of things to do with the government and the world bank

The correct term is "Dongs" because it's plural.

[@alean13]

Dongs, Yuans, Yens, Wons, Ringgits

[@ikhebdieishetnietgoeddathe4057]

Dong means copper and copper has no plural form in English

Nice and instructive video, but I wish you had pronounced the word Dong correctly. I have lived here for almost 10 years now, and the word Dong, like many other Vietnamese words that end with 'ng,' is pronounced as if it had an 'mg' sound. Do the correct way of saying 'Dong' is 'Domg'.

Vietnam currency is one of the weakest in the world. The government continue to accumulate more debt and they print more money to pay off the debt therefore devalue the Dong.

[@dqgaming5596]

50000 vietnam dong for 1 bag of less than 10 cakes is a cut and slash, in Vietnam carrying street vendors in Hanoi at most is 30k 1 bag of cakes is not even 10.
