When the travel budget is not enough, you can find ways to save money. Now the editor will talk to you about some things about saving money. You can also take a look at some strategies about saving money. See See if there is anything you need. Money-saving strategy

1. There are many Vietnamese vendors who like to rip off foreigners. You need to find out the approximate prices of necessities for travel life within one day, such as drinking water, cola, tobacco, rice noodles, coffee, etc., and pay attention to the price changes of the capacity. A large bottle of drinking water generally costs 5000D/bottle. The most expensive French brand water LA-V does not exceed 8000D. A pack of SAIGON cigarettes only costs 2000D (I was ripped off on the first day and spent 4000D on a pack of cigarettes). Rice noodles generally cost 4000D. -A bowl of about 5000D.

2. In terms of food, try to mix with ordinary working people in Vietnam. In Cambodia and Vietnam, the starting price for a meal in restaurants with English menus is US$1.50, while at roadside fast food stalls, you can eat for less than half a dollar. Of course, you must be mentally prepared to fight unremittingly against flies and mosquitoes, and you must also be able to withstand the psychological pressure of other Vietnamese diners looking at you like a monster (why are foreigners eating with me too!). The most important thing is to be able to accurately express yourself with body language. intention (the roadside stall owner doesn’t speak English). To be honest, there are still many delicious things that suit my taste at roadside stalls.

3. Regarding accommodation, if you live in a single room, it usually costs between US$3-5 per day. I have stayed in a room with a clean big bed and a bathroom for US$3 in Saigon. Rooms with air conditioning are generally $7 and up. If you want to save money, look for DORM rooms in various places where men and women can live together.

There are rooms for 5 to 8 people, and there is a bathroom in the room. The price is about 2 US dollars. They are all young self-guided travelers from all over the world. , this is how I go when traveling in the western part of the country, there is nothing pretentious about safety or insecurity. The above accommodation refers to the price of GUEST

HOURSE, not any hotel.

4. Walk in traffic. Whether traveling from south to north or from north to south, the most economical option is to buy an OPEN

TOUR from a travel company. Only travelers with special habits can take trains in Vietnam (which are slow and expensive). Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) - Nha Trang - Hoi An - Hue - Hanoi, I chose T.MBROTHER company, for no other reason than because it is cheap, only 23 US dollars, while other SIN

CAFE, etc. Companies are generally $25-27. The feeling along the way was that, except for not being on time and the condition of the car being not very good, there was nothing too uncomfortable. In the city, for the sake of saving money and safety, I have never rented a motorcycle. I have rented bicycles in Saigon and Hanoi. You can hike on foot in other small cities, including Hue.

5. Local tour groups and tickets. Various places in Vietnam have their own special groups for foreigners. For example, Saigon has a trip to the Mekong Tunnel in Cu Chi, Hoi An has a trip to the Cham ruins, Hue has a day trip to the Perfume River, Hanoi has a trip to Ha Long Bay, etc. Each travel company and hotel you are staying in will have different quotations. Visit a few and take into account factors such as the quality of accommodation and food included in the quotation, and choose the cheapest one. Recommended Hue Xiangjiang BOAT

One-day TRIP and two-day tour of Halong Bay in Hanoi are not to be missed, they are cheap and abundant! The beautiful beaches in Nha Trang do not require tickets, which I am very satisfied with Vietnam’s tourism development department Express your appreciation, it is still worth lingering there morning and evening, sunrise and sunset.

6. Regarding shopping, to be honest, as a bitter boy who has been fucked N times in the past and has changed his ways, I really don’t have anything exciting to say. What I want to say is nothing more than a hard counteroffer, a shameless counteroffer, even if I beat you to death! When I got home from Vietnam, the extra things in my bag were things with Uncle Ho Chi Minh’s face or Good Morning Vietnam printed on them. T-shirts, the price is 1-1.5 US dollars per piece depending on the texture. I still have some small ornaments on my wrist and neck made of small white conches that I bought on the beach in Nha Trang. They are very cheap, only costing 10,000 VND. Later, these things were given away.

7. Other entertainment and nightlife. Pornography, drug gambling, and gambling in Vietnam are strictly prohibited by law, so I advise those who have any evil thoughts to stay safe. But it is better to eat without meat than without nightlife. This is what I have seen from some poor backpackers from old capitalist countries. There are still many lively bourgeois bars all over Vietnam, and local beer is sold very cheaply, usually around US$1/bottle.

It's okay to hang out for a night occasionally to relieve boredom. For a list of safe and fun bars, please check LP Vietnam.

If you can travel to Vietnam strictly as mentioned above, the average daily cost can be controlled below 10 US dollars. But having said that, no one is a hero if he spends more money or less money. Everything always has its two sides. Maybe I have lost some of the pleasure of spending a lot during travel, and maybe I have gained some other stingy fun, but as a traveler, I still have two sides. Bringing more money will make you feel more at ease. How to save money

1. Find a store on Taobao to apply for a visa in advance. There are many on Taobao. Choose the cheapest one, because the price will be different at different consulates where visas are sent. Cheaper than visa on arrival.

2. When in Vietnam, for long-distance travel between cities, it is recommended to take the Sleeping Bus at night.

You can sleep on the bus, which not only saves one night's accommodation fee , and does not affect the precious daytime to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Do not 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. Of these three, New Coffee and FUTA are easy to 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 Yes, it is easy to understand and book tickets. Among them, new coffee must be booked at least 3 days in advance, and FUTA needs to be booked 1 day in advance. After successfully booking your tickets online, you will receive official text messages and emails about your trip. You can go to the corresponding OpenBus office with a text message or email to exchange it for a paper ticket, or you can take the bus directly with a text message or email.

3. It is recommended to apply for a Visa credit card (students should also be able to apply for a credit card, I was using a credit card when I was in college). When I arrive in Vietnam, I can use all credit cards. Not only does it not require handling fees, And the exchange rate is the highest.

4. If you fly into Vietnam, it is recommended to exchange a small amount of Vietnamese dong at the airport. You can basically exchange it for 1:3200 at the airport, which is still a good exchange rate. It is probably not as cost-effective as other places.

5. For accommodation, if you are two people traveling together, you can stay in a cheap standard room. If you are alone, you can find some youth hostels that provide beds. You can book them on Booking and Agoda. , which is about 20~30 yuan/night.

6. When eating, it is recommended to do as the locals do and eat what local Vietnamese like to eat. Roadside stalls and small restaurants are very cheap. I remember finding a cafe full of Vietnamese people next to the pink church in Da Nang. The local coffee cost only 2 yuan, and they also came with unlimited refills of jasmine tea. Try not to go into restaurants full of tourists. It's weird that it's not expensive.

7. In addition, if the distance to take a taxi is long, you can negotiate the price first and then take the seat. Do not believe the driver who tells you to use the meter, because the meter for long distances is much more expensive than the fixed price. Yes, it doesn’t matter if you use the meter at a short distance.

8. Every time you go to a city, if you want to save money and have fun, you can rent a motorcycle locally. Taking the one I rented in Da Nang as an example, it costs 120,000VND/vehicle/day, and gasoline costs 30,000VND/ 1.5 liters, plus 3 liters of gasoline, the total cost is: 180,000VND, which is enough to run 130 kilometers, which is equivalent to about 60 yuan in RMB. If two people come together, the average price per person is 30 yuan. A city covers 130 kilometers a day, so you can probably travel anywhere.
