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 prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $136/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
