Destination-specific money tips
- •While major hotels and restaurants accept cards, always carry some cash (VND) for street food, markets, and smaller shops in Hoi An.
- •ATMs are plentiful, but using ATMs attached to major banks like Vietcombank or BIDV generally incurs lower fees than standalone machines.
- •Bargaining is expected in markets, but do so politely. Prices for tailored clothing can be very competitive, but quality varies.
- •Be aware that some tourist attractions, like the Hoi An Ancient Town ticket, are priced for foreigners and can seem high relative to local incomes.
- •Grab is a popular ride-hailing app for both cars and motorbikes, offering competitive and transparent pricing compared to flagging down taxis.
