*Went to Vung Tau and came back to earth, with meals running 70K or thereabouts and beers 10K to 25K, and at Red Parrot, buy one, get one free, even prime liquors. Woohoo"
Good to hear and info like this suggests a real need for a Vietnam forum.

Re: Vietnam News & Discussion
Sure, restaurants in HCMC are expensive but then the rent for places like the L'Usine on Dong Khoi must run to to 5 digits.
Re: Vietnam News & Discussion
No doubt about it. Restaurants pay huge rent there. I've read what those chain coffee shops are paying in rent in D1, around 2.5 million dong per sq metre.

Re: Vietnam News & Discussion
FWIW - article on Vietnam scams.
Some of these are common in Cambodia, but others are not.
Ten scams tourists face in Vietnam
Most countries in SE Asia find ways of scamming western tourists. In most cases these experiences are more insulting than they dangerous.
Sometimes they are cheeky although there are situations that could claim your entire travel budget, not to mention a brush with the law...

Re: Vietnam News & Discussion
I would say most, if not all, of these scams are present in the KoW as well. Not defending Vietnam here, just a fact. And he forgot a few (in both countries): Flipper card game scammers, NJH (OK, only in Cambodia), taxis at the airport.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2017 8:56 pm FWIW - article on Vietnam scams.

Re: Vietnam News & Discussion
Well, I read the piece finally. I've never had any of these "scams" tried on me. One exception was the hotel booking price thing way back in 2007 or so. After seeing the inflated room rate, I pulled up my confirmation from the hotel and paid the corrected bill. Otherwise, I don't think I have ever paid more than fair price -- as far as I know. One hilarious incident was a Saigon riverside cafe asking 50,000 for a bottle of water. LOL. Which is what I did and walked to a Circle K to get the same thing for 4500.
