Welcome to the Forum Carligular 
Have a look at Transferwise. Very easy to use and cheaper than banks.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
What @SimCityAT suggested may not work from Vietnam as you can see from the link "See more about the routes we cover." at the bottom of their site, Vietnam is missing.
It's difficult to do outward remittance from Vietnam, unless you have a legitimate proof of income.
You should open a local salary acct with your work permit / work visa.
You can then easily wire-transfer your money to your acct in the UK.
Usually they put a cap on maximum monthly outward remittance.
All the best!
