D4 is kinda far for me because I live down in Go Vap. Near the Tan Son Nhat Airport. I was thinking some place like Binh Thanh or Phu Nhuan. Even D1 or D3 should be fine. But the prices in D1 and D3 are usually much higher. Read More

Looking for places to visit by Victor.Casco
My family just moved in to Ho Chi Minh 2 weeks ago. Can anyone suggest a good place to visit in HCM? within a modest budget. Have just been to Benh Thanh Market and Saigon Square already. Thanks.
Nothing much to do here in HCM city really. If you have time then why not travel down to Vung Tau? It's about 2 hours by bus or ferry. But I don't think the ferry services are available right now? I'm not too sure about that. Vung Tau is quite a ... Read More

Temporary Residence Cards without WP by sfaith
Hi folks, As some of you may be aware, there are certain people with connections offering TRC without needing a work permit (which is, AFAIK, a prerequisite before you apply for TRC). The prices vary, from $500 to $750. I know one guy who is ...
