backpack Ho chi minh,
sadly, this time around, my other 4 travel buddy did'nt join this trip as they want balik kampung:)
so this time, there were only 2 of us, two girls. let me share about my budget & tips first, then i'll share you the womders in HCM in another post. ok? :)
FLIGHT
fly using air asia RM246/pax return without baggage / meals, but i met another backapacker is my hostel, he got rm260 incude meals and 15kg baggage using vietnam airlines.
BASIC NEEDS;
1. accommodation: stayed at central saigon hostel for 3 nights there. booked via booking.com
make sure you read the review carefully. its nit that near to ben thanh but still a good location for youngsters. if you are with your mom or any older people, this place is not suitable. i stay in female dormitory. rm24/night
2. transport: from airport, u can take 2 type of bus, 152 or 102. 152 go to ben thanh with multiple stops meanwhile 102 directly to ben thanh without any stops. 152 cost 5,000 VND while 102 20,000 VND. i took bus 152.
i take airport shuttle foem my hostel on my last day because my flight is early in morning and cost me 9 USD.
3.tour package: make sure find a good travel guide. because i dont want to waste my time, i took guide directly from my hostel to mekong delta. cost me 17 USD. actually you can get half of that price at ben thanh area.
total for basic needs: 955,000 VND (rm170)
