How to save money by traveling to Vietnam?

When the travel budget is insufficient, everyone can find ways to save money. Now Bian Xiao will talk to you about saving money. You can also look at some strategies about saving money to see if you need it.

Money-saving strategy 1, many Vietnamese vendors like to slaughter foreigners. You need to find out the approximate price of the necessities of travel and life corruption in one day, such as drinking water, coke, tobacco, rice flour, coffee and so on. , and pay attention to the price change of capacity. A large bottle of drinking water is generally 5000D/ bottle, and the most expensive is French famous brand water LA-V, which does not exceed 8000 d. A pack of Saigon cigarettes is only 2000D (it took 4000D for a pack of fireworks on the first day), and a bowl of rice noodles is generally about 4000 d-5000 d.

2, diet, try to mix with ordinary Vietnamese working people. In Cambodia and Vietnam, restaurants with English menus start at $65,438 +0.50, while roadside fast food restaurants can get them for less than half a dollar. Of course, you should be prepared to fight flies and mosquitoes, and you should be able to bear the fact that other Vietnamese diners treat you like a monster (how can foreigners eat with me! ), the most important thing is to be able to express your intentions accurately with body language (the roadside stall owner can't speak English). To tell the truth, there are still many delicious things in the roadside stalls that meet my taste.

3. In terms of accommodation, if I live in a single room, it is usually between $3 and $5 per day. I lived in Saigon for 3 dollars, with a clean big bed and a bathroom. Rooms with air conditioning are generally more than $7. If you save money, look around for dormitories that may be mixed.

Room, there are 5 -8 people, and there is a bathroom in the room. The price is about $2. Living in it are all self-help young people from all over the world. Traveling in the west of China is like this. There is nothing timid and safe. The above accommodation refers to guests.

The room rate does not represent any hotel.

4. Transportation. Whether from south to north or from north to south, the most economical and popular thing is to buy the OPEN of a travel company.

Travel, only travelers with special hobbies will take the train in Vietnam (dying slowly and expensively). Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)-Nha Trang-Hoi An-Hue-Hanoi, I choose T.MBROTHER Company, for nothing else, just because it is cheap, only 23 dollars, and other crimes.

CAFE and other companies generally cost $ 25-27. The feeling of coming all the way down, except that it is not punctual and the car condition is not very good, there is nothing too uncomfortable. In the city, in order to save money and safety, I have never rented a motorcycle. I have rented bicycles in Saigon and Hanoi, and other small cities can completely walk, including Hue.

5. Local group tours and tickets. Every place in Vietnam has its own team dedicated to foreigners, such as the trip to Mekong River in Guzhi Tunnel in Saigon, the trip to Zhanpo Site in Hoi An, the one-day trip to Xiangjiang River in Hue and the trip to Halong Bay in Hanoi. Every travel company and hotel will have different quotations. Go around more, consider the quality of hotels and accommodation companies included in the quotation, and choose the cheapest one. Recommend Hue Xiangjiang boat.

One-day tour and two-day tour of Ha Long Bay in Hanoi should not be missed, cheap and sufficient! Nha Trang's beautiful beaches don't need tickets. I really appreciate Vietnam's tourism development department, and sunrise, sunset and dusk are still worth visiting.

6. As for shopping, to be honest, I am a miserable child who has been punished N times in the past, and there is really nothing to explode. What I want to say is nothing more than a hard counter-offer, a shameless counter-offer, and a counter-offer even if you die! When I come home from Vietnam, the extra things in my bag are T-shirts with the head of Uncle Ho Chi Minh or Good Morning Vietnam on them. The price is 1- 1.5 USD per piece, depending on the texture. There are also some small white conch ornaments on the wrist and neck, which were bought at the seaside of Nha Trang. They are very cheap, and the total price is only 65,438+00,000 VND. Later, these things were given away.

7. Other entertainment nightlife. Pork gambling is strictly prohibited by Vietnamese law, so I advise brothers who have wild desires to save it. But I would rather eat without meat than live overnight, which I have seen from poor backpackers in some old capitalist countries. There are also many lively petty bourgeoisie bars all over Vietnam, and local beer is sold very cheaply, generally around 1 USD/bottle. It's okay to go out and get bored once in a while. For a list of safe and interesting bars, please see LP Vietnam.

If you can go to Vietnam in strict accordance with the above, the average daily cost can be controlled below $ 10. But then again, more money and less money are not heroes. Things always have two sides. Maybe I lost some fun of spending money lavishly during my trip, maybe I had some fun of being stingy, but as a traveler, I feel more practical.

How to save money

1. Find a shop on Taobao to apply for a visa in advance. There are many on Taobao, so choose the cheapest one, because different consulates will have different prices. Cheaper than visa on arrival.

2. In Vietnam, it is recommended to take sleep at night for long-distance travel between cities.

Bus, you can sleep in the car, which not only saves one night's accommodation, but also does not affect the precious daytime beauty. Don't buy bus tickets at travel agencies or agencies. The most economical way is to buy it online.

There are three common types: new coffee, Korean coffee and FUTA. These three companies, including New Coffee and FUTA, can easily book tickets online. Hanka just couldn't find the reservation link and gave up. New Coffee: https://www.thesinhtourist.vn/ Korean Coffee: http://hanhcafe.vn/en/trang-cua-hang/FUTA: https://futabus.vn/ All three websites have English versions, which are easy to understand and book tickets. Among them, new coffee should be booked at least 3 days in advance, and FUTA should be booked 1 day in advance. If you book a ticket online successfully, you will receive an official text message and email. You can change it into a paper ticket by SMS or email to the corresponding OpenBus office, or you can take the bus directly by SMS or email.

3. It is recommended to apply for a Visa credit card (students should also be able to apply for a credit card, which I used in college). When you arrive in Vietnam, you can swipe all credit cards. Not only is there no handling fee, but the exchange rate is the highest.

4. If you are flying into Vietnam, it is recommended to exchange a small amount of Vietnamese dong at the airport. At the airport, you can basically change it to 1:3200, which is still a good exchange rate. It is estimated that it is not cost-effective in other places.

In terms of accommodation, if two people travel together, they can stay in a cheap standard room. If you travel alone, you can find some youth hostels, and the kind that provides beds can be booked on Booking and Agoda, which costs about 20~30 yuan RMB a night.

6. If you eat, I suggest you do as the Romans do and eat what Vietnamese locals like. Roadside stalls and small restaurants are cheap. I remember I found a cafe full of Vietnamese next to the pink church in Da Nang. I only need 2 yuan RMB to drink local coffee, and I also give jasmine tea unlimited refills. Try not to go to restaurants full of tourists. Not expensive.

7. In addition, if you take a long-distance taxi, you can talk about the price first and then sit down. Don't believe the driver's words. It's much more expensive to call the meter long distance, and it doesn't matter if you call the meter short distance.

8. If you want to save money and have fun in a city, you can rent a motorcycle there. Take the car I rented in Da Nang as an example, 120000 VND/car/day, 30000 VND/1.5 liters of gasoline, plus 3 liters of gasoline, a total of * *:65438+. A city is 130 kilometers a day, and it is estimated that you can play everywhere.
