小编又出游啦‼️要到胡志明市🉐️朋友要锁定频道噜✌🏻️
会跟你介绍好玩、好吃💪🏻
教你用少少钱👀世界咯😍
【关于住宿】
小编这次与往常一样选择了不夜城，住在Bui Vien街…
这区早上都是经营cafe，但是一到晚上，这里就变成了狂欢区咯🎉… 而且这里也是很多🎒客最中意的地方哟～
小编的酒店 - Meraki Boutique Hotel
是在agoda.com预定的…
3晚 = RM381相等于RM 127/晚
*小编力推这间酒店，因为他们的服务很好，不仅帮你开关门，还包早餐哦！！地点又是最佳的选择！！
**温馨提醒：在回国当天，听到一位韩国女生喊叫，相信是被抢劫了...很多好心的当地人一直提醒我把手机收好以免被抢哦‼️所以要到胡志明市的朋友们真注意安全还有保管好自己的财物呀！
【关于机票】
在没有促销的情况下就直接买了SG - HCM的机票~~ $180 换算相等于RM540
**温馨提醒：
平日无论是从Singapore 或是Johor Bahru直飞，机票价钱介于RM270 - RM350。。
- 旅行的日期是30/12/2016~02/12/2017，因为是跨年，所以机票价钱是平时的双倍！！T_T
【关于换币】
汇率：SGD$1 = 16,000 Vietnam Dong / RM1 = 5050 Vietnam Dong
**提前在Singapore兑换了$300，包括旅店费用、购物、还量身定做了Aodai Traditional服饰，也没花完回国哦！！
如果按照我们这行程，兑换RM600/pax基本正好。
【关于通讯】
小编在机场购买了4GB Internet Data + Local Call的Sim card哟~
问了所有的卖家，最后用160,000 Dong买了这配套。。
【4天行程总花销(2人份)】1人大约是RM501.13 = 共计RM1002.26

【English version】
Hey guys, check this out for my Ho Chi Minh City free & easy itinerary and photos..
Here to introduce the local food you should eat & places to visit and have fun
Objective for Sandy Travel Bag is to share you the backpacker experience & encourage friends to see the world with little 💰
【Accommodation】
Per my usual practice, I choose to stay in an area that never sleeps - Bui Vien street...
This area have cafes operating in the morning and will turn into pubs and bistros when the dusk sets in where you can party all night long... Bui vien street & Pham Ngu Lao are also known as backpackers area...
My Hotel: Meraki Boutique Hotel
Booked at Agoda.com where 3 nights = RM381 which is equivalent to RM 127 / night
** I strongly recommend to stay at this hotel because their service is very good & the price is inclusive of breakfast. Location wise is the best choice‼️
** Gentle reminder: On the day of return, I heard a Korean gal shouting frantically. Highly suspect that she has been robbed ... so for those who are going to Ho Chi Minh City please pay close attention to your safety and watch out for your own belonging👀
【About Tickets】
As travel period falls in the New Year’s Eve period, Tiger Air had no ticket promotions for direct flight from SG to HCM ~ ~ My air ticket was SGD180 which is equivalent to RM540.
**Gentle Reminder:
Usually the direct air ticket price from Singapore or Johor Bahru to HCM is within the range of RM270 - RM350.
- My travel date was 30/12/2016 ~ 02/12/2017 so it falls in the New Year period, hence it’s double of the usual price!!
【Currency Exchange】
Exchange rate: SGD $ 1 = 16,000 Vietnam Dong / RM1 = 5,050 Vietnam Dong
** I exchanged SGD300 worth of Dong before the trip in Singapore, which includes the hotel fee, shopping, tailoring of the Ao Dai Traditional costume and still had some left. Hence SGD200 or RM600 will be more than adequate for the whole trip.
【About Communication】
I bought a local Sim card with the package of 4GB Internet Data + Local Call with 160,000 Dong which is equivalent to RM31.
**Note: Surveyed around the airport and this is the best package.
【4D3N Total spending (For 2 people)】 1 person is about RM501.13 = Total RM1,002.26
Eat: RM394.53 【
1,992,400 Dong (Lunch + Dinner + Supper + Street Food + Alcoholic drinks - including Go 2 Bar & Bitexco Financial Tower) 】;
Hotel: RM381 【
3 nights Meraki Boutique Hotel】;
Transportation: RM80.20【
Taxi 150,000 Dong (from airport to the hotel during peak hours so the price is steeper), Grab car 145,000 Dong (in the town area), Grab car 110,000 Dong (hotel to airport during peak hours) 】;
** Note: Due to New Year period, the air ticket was excluded from the total spending as it was too expensive, usually RM800 is enough for Ho Chi Minh City including Air ticket.
Entrance Fee: RM114.85【
Cu Chi Tunnels Half day Tour 240,000 Dong, Cu Chi Tunnels entrance fee 220,000 Dong, entrance fee for Museum of HCM 30,000 Dong, Independence Palace ticket 60,000 Dong, War Remnants Museum ticket 30,000 Dong】;
Others: about RM31.68 【

** Additional Information:
1. For those who wish to tailor Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional costume), the price range is from RM130 ~ RM150 (remember to bargain!).
2. Guys should tailor formal Shirt in Ho Chi Minh City. The cheapest we asked around was about USD17 and it takes about 24-48 hours to complete not including Public Holiday.
3. Gentle reminder from local friend that Grab car service is around 30-50% cheaper than Taxi. Furthermore, you need not worry about the meter jumping continuously during traffic jam.
4. My trip itinerary has covered 90% of the MUST GO attractions.
5. Due to time constraint, I did not get to experience the desert attraction: Mui Ne. For those who are going please be prepared that it takes about 10 hours by bus for round trip to the location.
6. I did not cover Mekong Delta River because I experienced the Floating market In Thailand and heard that there is nothing special from the reviews of other tourists so I skipped it to save time and money.
