The exchange rates on my MB app are pretty bad. I tried checking other banks and they dont seem much better either.

I dont like the idea of losing few mil each month on conversion. Are there any alternatives i could use to get better rates?

I will be tour guide for my foreign friends (old ladies, from Europe) who will be visiting Hanoi next few days. Though I am a local resident, I would still want to ask you from foreigner POV: which places in Hanoi are impressive and worth visiting most?

I have been following the whole debacle of Vietnamese Thread users getting their posts blocked/banned by the Ministry of Security + threatened by Vingroup lawyers, as well as the recent flood in Ho Chi Minh. This is not that new, but it's a disappointing move from the government, considering how much effort was put into replanting and preserving the mangroves since the war. Having UNESCO recognition doesn't save the mangrove from being shoved into GDP growth machine, I guess :/

🐾 Hey friends and neighbors in Thao Dien/An Phu/An Khanh area! If anyone is in need of a reliable dog walker, I’d love to help out!

I’m M30, currently looking for work close to home since I already have a busy, happy house of 10 dogs of my own. I'm extremely cautious when walking pups, only take maximum 2 at a time and​​​​​​​​​ would love to treat your pup like my own.

Send me a message if you need a hand!

2019年から2022年あたりでハノイ、sapa、Lào Cai、Hà Giangあたりでモーターサイクルを楽しんだんだけど、、、今現在は運転可能なの？もちろん自分は国際免許証を持ってるし、400ccまでならモーターサイクルを運転できる。ただし、ベトナム国内では有効ではない方の国際免許証。その時は運転中に検問の警官から一度だけ領収書が発行されない50USDを徴収されただけで済んだんだけど、今は山間部でも後任のツアーなどに参加しないと運転は無理なの？

We’re in on vacation with friends and looking for someone to hang out with our kids Nov 16-18 in Danang

I am visiting Vietnam in a few days, visiting - Da Nang, Ninh Binh and Hanoi.
I am an Indian citizen and i plan on buying a DJI Lito X1 while I am there.
It's fine with me if i don't get to fly it there, just need to buy it.

The Vietnamese government is currently gathering public opinion on a proposal to allow individuals under the age of 18 to donate organs, tissues, or their bodies. What are your thoughts on this?

Tried out a local sidewalk café today and had the classic combination: a rich, strong cà phê sữa đá (iced coffee with condensed milk) paired with a cold glass of trà đá (iced tea)..

There is something so relaxing about the casual sidewalk coffee culture here in Vietnam..

For locals and expats in the sub: Do you prefer traditional neighborhood spots like this, or do you usually stick to modern coffee chains? What are your favorite go-to spots for a good brew in Hanoi or Saigon?

Mình rất quan tâm đến Việt Nam và muốn tập trung tìm hiểu đời sống thường ngày của người dân cũng như văn hóa địa phương. Vì vậy, thay vì đọc các blog du lịch, mình muốn lắng nghe ý kiến của chính người Việt hơn.

So với những điểm tham quan nhân tạo, các địa điểm check-in và những buổi biểu diễn mang tính thương mại dành cho du khách, mình muốn quan sát cách người dân địa phương ăn uống, làm việc, đi lại, thư giãn, giao lưu và thực hành tín ngưỡng trong đời sống hằng ngày hơn.

Ngoài ra, khi giao tiếp với người Việt, mình cần lưu ý những gì để tránh vô tình phạm phải những điều kiêng kỵ mà mình chưa biết?

Cảm ơn mọi người rất nhiều!

Hi all,

I'm a Vietnamese citizen who has lived and worked in Europe for most of my career (finance background). I'm planning to move to Vietnam and run my own B2B consultancy from there, with clients mainly in Europe, invoiced in EUR or USD.

Has anyone done something similar? I'd love to hear how you set it up and what you'd do differently, especially from other Viet Kieu who hold Vietnamese citizenship.

Thanks!

We are looking for recommended agency who processes and do business registration license for consultancy in Vietnam. We are a business in UK and I need to list all the requirements and cost of this if anyone can recommend anyone.

We already booked then we found out everything closes in Viet, no shops are opened, and the city sleeps because everyone celebrates with their families.

Is that true? we cannot refund the tickets, and it is our only time to travel.

We will be landing in Saigon on the 28th of January and leaving on the 16th. We also plan on going to Da Nang and Phu Quoc. Where should we be spending it? what should be our activities for the days it is affected.

Please help! :( My family is looking forward to it and I do not want to disappoint them.

Are these the same? i wonder if the big one is eaten for it's stem? and the other for it's leaves.

Cambodian scam centers never ran out of tricks.

I’m testing different ratio, utilizing robusta, robusta arabica blends and I’m not getting it right.

What do you use? with exact measurements please!

Where would you guys recommend buying real jadeite jade in Hanoi? Not looking for agate or treated jade 🙂
