How to save money by traveling to Vietnam?

When the travel budget is not enough, everyone can find ways to save money. Now Xiaobian will talk to you about some matters about saving money. You can also look at some strategies about saving money to see if there is anything you need. Money-saving strategy

1. Many Vietnamese vendors like to slaughter foreigners. You need to find out the approximate prices of the necessities of travel and life corruption within one day, such as drinking water, cola, tobacco, rice flour, coffee, etc., and pay attention to the price changes of the capacity. Large bottles of drinking water are generally 5D/ bottle, and the most expensive is French famous brand water LA-V, which is not more than 8D d. A pack of SAIGON cigarettes is only 2D (the first day I was slaughtered, I spent 4D on a pack of cigarettes), and rice noodles are generally about 4D-5D for a bowl.

2. Try to mix with ordinary Vietnamese working people in diet. In Cambodia and Vietnam, restaurants with English menus start at $1.5 a meal, while in roadside fast food stalls, you can eat it for less than half a dollar. Of course, you must be mentally prepared to fight against flies and mosquitoes, and you must be able to bear the fact that other Vietnamese diners see you as a monster (how can foreigners eat with me! ), the most important thing is to be able to accurately express your intentions in 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 generally between $3 and $5 per day. I have lived in Saigon for $3, with a clean big bed and a bathroom. Rooms with air conditioning are generally more than $7. If you want to save money, look for the DORM

ROOM where men and women may live together. There are 5 -8 people in the room, and there is also a bathroom in the room. The price is about 2 dollars. All of them live in young self-help travelers from all over the world. Traveling in the western part of China is also like this. There is nothing timid and unsafe. The above accommodation refers to the price of the guest

hour, not to any hotel.

4. Traffic. No matter from south to north or from north to south, the most economical and popular one is to buy the OPEN

TOUR of the travel company, and only travelers with special hobbies can take the train in Vietnam (slow and expensive). Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)-Nha Trang-Hoi An-Hue-Hanoi, I chose T.MBROTHER Company. For no other reason, just because it is cheap, it only costs $23, while other companies such as SIN

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

5. local package tours and tickets. Every place in Vietnam has its own special teams for foreigners, such as Saigon's trip to the Mekong River in Guzhi Tunnel, Hoi An's trip to the Champo Site, Hue's one-day trip to Xiangjiang, and Hanoi's trip to Halong Bay. Each travel company and hotel will have different quotations. Go around a few more and choose the cheapest one considering the quality of the hotel and lodging companies included in the quotation. It is recommended that the boat in Hue Xiangjiang

trip and the two-day trip in Ha Long Bay in Hanoi should not be missed, which are cheap and sufficient! The beautiful beaches in Nha Trang don't need tickets. I appreciate the tourism development department in Vietnam, which is still worth lingering at sunrise, sunset and dusk.

6. As for shopping, to tell the truth, I, a bitter child who has been cheated for N times in the past, have 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 are killed! When I got home from Vietnam, the extra things in my bag were T-shirts with the head of Uncle Ho Chi Minh or Good Morning Vietnam printed on them. The price was 1-1.5 dollars per piece depending on the texture. I still have some small ornaments made of small white conchs on my wrist and neck, which I bought at the beach in Nha Trang. They are very cheap, and the total amount is only 1, VND. Later, these things were given away.

7. Other entertainment nightlife. Pork gambling in Vietnam is strictly prohibited by law, so it is better to advise the brothers who have wild desires to save. But I'd rather eat without meat than nightlife, which I saw from some poor backpackers from old capitalist countries. There are still many lively petty bourgeoisie bars all over Vietnam, and the local beer is sold very cheaply, generally around $1/bottle. It's ok to get bored by hanging out once in a while. For a list of safe and fun bars, please check LP Vietnam.

If we can go to Vietnam strictly as mentioned above, the average daily expenses can be controlled below $1. But then again, it's not a hero to spend more money and less. Things always have two sides. Maybe I lost some pleasure of spending a lot during my trip, or maybe I had some fun of being stingy, but as a traveler, I'm more practical in my heart. How to save money

1. Find a store on Taobao in advance to get a visa. There are many on Taobao, so choose the cheapest one, because different consulates will have different prices. It's cheaper than landing visa.

2. For long-distance travel between cities in Vietnam, it is recommended to take the Sleeping

Bus at night, so that you can sleep in the car, which not only saves the accommodation fee for one night, but also does not affect the precious daytime to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Don't buy Bus tickets at travel agencies or agents. The most economical way is to buy them online.

There are three common ones: New Coffee, Korean Coffee and FUTA. These three companies, including New Coffee and FUTA, can easily book tickets online. Korean coffee just couldn't find the booking link and gave up. New Coffee: https://www.thesinhtourist.vn/ Korean Coffee: http://hanhcafe.vn/en/trang-cua-hang/FUTA: https://futabus.vn/ These 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 a short message and email from the official. You can change it into a paper ticket by SMS or email to the corresponding OpenBus office, or you can take a bus directly by SMS or email.

3. It is suggested to apply for a Visa credit card (students should also be able to apply for a credit card, which I used when I was in college). When I arrived in Vietnam, I can swipe all my credit cards, which not only does not require handling fees, but also has the highest exchange rate.

4. If you fly into Vietnam, it is recommended to exchange a small amount of Vietnamese dong at the airport. Basically, it can be exchanged to 1:32 at the airport, which is still a good exchange rate. It is estimated that it is not cost-effective in other places.

5. For accommodation, if two people leave together, you can stay in a cheap standard room. If one person leaves, you can find some youth hostels, and the kind that provides beds can be booked on Booking and Agoda, which is almost 2~3 yuan RMB per night.

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

7. In addition, if you take a taxi for a long distance, you can negotiate the price first, and then take a seat. Don't believe the driver's master's saying that you can hit the meter, because it is much more expensive to hit the meter for a long distance, and it doesn't matter if you hit the meter for a short distance.

8. When you go to a city, if you want to save money and have fun, you can rent motorcycles locally. Take the one I rented in Da Nang as an example, 12, VND/vehicle/day, 3, VND/1.5 liters of gasoline, plus 3 liters of gasoline, which is * * ***：18VND, enough to run 13 kilometers. A city is 13 kilometers a day, and it is estimated that you can play anywhere.
