Investing in real estate or having interest-bearing account? by tranus
Hi there, What would be better/safer: investing in real estate in HCMC or having an interest-bearing account in a Vietnamese bank (that can also be foreign bank in Vietnam)? I've been told in Vietnam interest-bearing account can be 8%? What ...
I opened an account with Sacombank for similar reason, higher interest rate plus the expectation of AUD decreasing against the dong. Wasn't planning on putting a lot in, just a little as another way to diversify. A few days after I opened it, I ... Read More
Workout supplements and protein powder in HCM????? by ericd937
Is there a place in HCM where I can get workout supplements, protein powder, and such for a decent price? Should I expect to pay more or less than I do in the U.S. for these things. I'm not sure how common these things are in Vietnam?

Rentals in US Dollars by willwall
Is it legal for landlords to demand rental payments in US Dollars as opposed to Vietnam Dong? Appreciate any advice on this matter as it is strange to ask for US Dollars in a country that has Vietnam dong as it's currency
Usually price is quoted in US$ but paid in VND cash at whatever exchange rate on day of payment. I wouldn't want to pay in US$, lose too much via forex fees (AUD>US>VND). Read More
