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

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

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

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

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

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