Quick question for the Vietnam regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $58/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $56/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
