When we first visited Vietnam in 2013, everyone preferred dollars, but now in 2020, we found everyone preferred VND. Pay in VND – VND and dollar are accepted everywhere but pay in VND.Save money on taxis by walking everywhere or renting a bike for as little as $1. Get walking – HCMC offers many attractions to see and do (most of which are free).We found it easier to buy items from those that advertise their prices but if you want to buy something without a price, make sure you haggle for it. Haggle – When buying items in markets, make sure you haggle the price.You can get this for as little as 30 cents (or 10p). Bia Hoi – Beer is cheap in Vietnam but Bia Hoi is said to be the cheapest beer in the world.Many of the bars have a Facebook page, so you can always double check offers online too.
