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 things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.
