PCR Test for Covid

I posted information that was given to me by a competent official at the hospital who is treating Covid patients daily to save their lives.  Could the rate have changed? Could she have been mistaken? Yes to both of those questions.
I also said to call and that is always the most important thing to do.
I have never understood WHY some members here always want to prove others wrong and argue points that are not really important.
Life is too short to spend time bickering about trivial things.

Of course, you take no responsibility for posting misleading information. You just keep coming back and trying to blame others for continuing this thread.

You dont live here so you have very little understanding of what prices are at various places. I was correcting your intial post that said 270k which we all know is not the price of a PCR test. Man up and admit you were wrong instead of continuing your childish responses.

I hope the block button is introduced in the near future. Having to deal with vapid comments becomes very tiring.

Maybe removing posts with misinformation would be a better option.

I hear you Buddy, but that would require a fact check on every post, comment, price posted, link given etc
As I stated info given is usually in good faith from someones personal insight politly pointing out the info may be incorrect is usually better than calling someout and starting a S***fight which we had a lot of in the long boring lockdown, now we are getting more traffic I'm just asking for calm so as to not scare people away.
The more we pull apart peoples answers the more off topic it gets and thus gets removed by admin anyway.

I showed text from the hospital and consulate, Im sure that would warrant a check by the admins. Even after posting this info the guy refused to acknowledge his mistake and started posting total BS.
Maybe from now on I will let it ride and people can follow the misinformation given.

I for one hope you will never hesitate speaking up when incorrect information is shared, though I understand Andy trying to tone down personal comments (even though I "might" agree with said comments... 😉)

Yes it would have been useful if the mistake had been acknowledge as to diffuse the issue, after reviewing the thread 750k seems about the cheapest test for international flights, tests for domestic travel are as low as 150k (from GOB info) which are not usuful for travel in or out of Vietnam.
Hopefully that clears up all the confusion.

for domestic travel are as low as 2**k which are not usuful for travel in or out of Vietnam.
Hopefully that clears up all the confusion.

We got our rapid tests for 150k vnd & they did allow us to travel in Vietnam.

Lowest  mentioned in thread was 270k I have heard of from a friend 200k I have amended the figure

Why not post links/sources to back up your claims then that saves a lot of confusion?

Jeez do you think every fast testing place round here has a link to a web site? its like a cottage industry in HCMC, they are every where, there must be at least 10 places doing it within a 2 km radius of where I live in Tan Phu!

Jeeez It saves a lot of fighting in the Forums. It doesn't apply just to testing but to other stories..... If there is link then no problem, but be prepared to back up claims.

Sharing a link or "a source" (which can mean an actual business name and/or street address) doesn't take a lot of extra effort IF the purpose of a post is to actually inform and not to compare Johnsons.

The "link" can even be a Google Maps link (copying the OP and my reply as an example):
