Vietnam on $50 a day - can it be done ?
Can you live well in Vietnam on $50 (£25) a day.
Will this be enough to let you stay in a good Hotel and be able to eat well?
I want to travel from HCM to Sapa along the coast and via Hanoi and I have 10 weeks to spare.
I just returned from VIetnam after staying there for 2 1/2 months. I went there for my wedding in November, so my expenses would be quite a bit more than the typical tourist. Yet, I still had a hard time spending $300/month while there.
You should be able to continue traveling through Vietnam comfortably on your claimed budget and try to stay away from the tourist traps there. There is a new high speed train that goes between HCM and Nha Tran. I believe the cost is $20 US one way. From Nha Tran, you can catch a bus to Sapa for about $2 US. In Sapa, you can get a decent hotel for $10-$20 US/night. Food can range from $2-$5 US/meal. If you look around, some hotels will throw in dinner for your night's stay. Beer at a Bia Hoi (gas or draft beer) is about $0.25/glass. All that in mind, you can end up with an extra $10/day from your budget of $50/day and still have the time of your life.
Good luck to you!
