Ya, agree...
But if u come to casino to play u just need to cash out thru ur CC or Debit Card in USD... Maybe u will get better rate than changing from Sing... 😊

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Just curious, how can these be the same? :confused: SGD to USD to VND vs SGD to VND?

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

I changed this morning near BX Mien Tay at 16600. Too far to go to Ben Thanh. Anyone changed at Ben Thanh today?

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Simple calculation what. Using volcano and XXed's rates as an example:

Buy USD in S'pore at 1.28 so SGD 128 = USD 100 take to VN to change @ VND 21.200 = VND 2.120.000.

Take SGD128 to VN and change at VND 16.500 = VND 2.112.000

So taking USD to VN to change is slightly better (VND 8000 per USD 100).

Of course if you take into account your expenses to get to VN (hotel, airfare, etc.) and the time it takes for you to buy USD at the money changer in S'pore, you might as well just bring SGD to VN to change.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Throwing out a quick field report:

After a failed attempt to meet up with some sammies (you know who you are! :) but no worries) and have personal reasons to celebrate decided to head out and explore.

Stop 1: a local salon (le duyen style, but not le duyen). cute, young 18 year old, school girl type look in sexy blue dresses. 1 hour hair wash and face massage. damage 55k. feeling generous so i gave her 100k and told her keep the change (also it was a very good face massage). she's definitely my regular hair wash girl from now on. (location in Binh Thanh)

Stop 2: after looking for a new local bar that just opened up, i realized that its still closed for tet, so i explore and find a street in Go Vap district with some FJ chicken house (i think they are FJ, but I've never tried, however you can identify them with pink lights, and no chairs in front, just 1 or 2 chairs for the girls). However i couldn't see how good looking these girls were so I skipped them.

Further down the street there were a few hot tocs, a few cafe om, and 1 massage parlor. Quite a good density of hanky panky places.

Opt for Massage Parlor: Ticket 100k. Run down place. Girl was young and cute (18 year old range, bleached brown hair, fair light brown skin, nice face, large a cup/small b cup). Nice girl but not super talkative, didn't smile much and very mechanical in her massage. HJ sucked, with shit AR (won't let me pull down her blouse/bra to take a peak, panties tight as shit and when i was able to navigate my way in she moves away resetting all my efforts).

Anyways, i know myself, and i can't finish if I'm not atleast looking at a nipple, so I told her to stop.

After getting dressed i flip out a 100k, she starts to throw a hissy fit. I stand my ground that 100k is enough and she throws a tantrum. I knew i was going to give way but wanted to see if she'll budge. Eventually she grabs my 100k, bitches at me, and start heading out. I told her to stop, gave a defeated look, and whipped out another 100k (not trying to start shit with any gangsters protecting the place).

Stop 3: I literally push my bike next door to a cafe om. 2 girls and 1 mami sitting in front watching tv. 1 girl was skinny, fair skin, tall, not great face (okay). 1 girl was not fat, but not skinny, very cute face, and c cups! This place looked very shady, reminiscent of my recent trip to vung tau, so i'm praying for FJ with this girl. Just a HJ :( she let her titties drop, no AR down south. 120k damage. but damn she's cute. I'm inclined to pull a play, visit her a few times, pay the 120k, and just talk (no hj). See if i can get her outside during the day for a chat :)

there is a 2% charge base on the amount drawn from credit card.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

this might be the same street i go to..tho the fj places i know the milfs wanst 200k for 20mins and the cafeom/hot tocs the charge is 120k for a bbbj more hand than mouth or 170k for a pure bbbj with a cim finish

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

U are using an ideal flat XXed's rates vs the reality of 3rd party (exchange agent and bank or others) selling/buying rates. No one on earth will sell currency at exactly what the financial market is.... they will earn few % of sell and buy.

At 12pm, VietinBank sells VND,

1 SGD = 16571 VND
1 USD = 21085 VND

At 12pm, DBS sells USD,

1 USD = 1.277 SGD

If I have I exchange 127.7 SGD to 100 USD and then change to VND, I will get 2108500 VND

If I exchange 127.7 SGD to VND, I will get 2116116.7 VND.

Lets move on with this... :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

I did say mine was just an example, I used the rates mentioned by others to illustrate. Pleased that you followed the same principle using real time rates today and got a difference in the order of VND 4-12k from my bad example.

By the way, if you're a friend I'd sell you currency at exact current FX rates. ;)
