I agreed on that for SIM card but not the dong unless he is going to change tons of SG notes
In the end I still go airport as they activiate everything for me for my VN SIM. Is Hassle free and that is the catch.
I can use immediate and start to contact friends or surf the net for information if needed.
Reach there then look for Street vendor, language is one problem. Activiate myself I do not know how as all in Viet language. Pass the phone to street vendor I think twice.
Pass the phone to a vendor in the airport and pass the phone to a street vendor is totally two different type of trust.
So pay $10, I will as is only one time.
First timer can fly all the way to HCM and stay in the hotel. The money already spent.
I personally will not fuss over this.
For first timer I would strongly suggest to do it in airport.
Season traveler and senior traveler, I say yes you can look for street vendor
That is my own opinion. I personal think when we give advise we need to think at their role as a first timer rather then a season traveler to HCM role.
I am trying to think as a rookie first time in HCM, no offense.
For first timer you need to know to ask the correct question and listen to the right and correct answer if not the beginning of your happy trip is actually your first screwup of your trip.
Hope this is useful for first timer as I was once too.
I listen to senior but I also go thru a thinking process if it is the best way
