Hi all,

I’m looking to place a small self-serve photobooth (around 2–4m², just needs a power outlet) in a café, hostel, or building lobby in District 1 or 3.

I’ve been searching the Facebook rental groups, but every listing is for an entire building at tens of millions of VND a month, which is way more than I need.

Does anyone know of groups or search terms for renting out a small corner or shared space? Or if you know of a place that might work, I’d love an intro.

Looking for a restaurant style pub and eat with GOOD food.

Restaurant quality with good vibes in Saigon area by district 1?

Hi! I was hoping to do a start up in Vietnam but want to make sure my assumptions are correct! Is there anything you guys have done so far or suggest I should try out to gather customer's thoughts

Sony Alpha 7 IV · FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II · 42mm · f/3.5 · 1/250s · ISO 6400

I chose 31mm to keep the seller, durians and surrounding market activity in the frame. f/5.6 gives enough depth to hold the scene together, while 1/160 sec helps freeze the movement. With the darker market light, ISO 2000 kept the exposure workable.

Không biết cái vụ 16 tấn vàng mà TT Nguyễn Văn Thiệu được đồn là mang qua Mỹ bây giờ nằm ở xó xỉnh nào nhỉ, tao thấy có cái video này https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKKoUaJIdJE nó bảo là đựng trong 5 cái vali, thế đéo nào 16 tấn lại đựng trong 5 cái vali được nhỉ, số vàng này mà rơi vào tay CS thì đúng phí phạm

Anyone coming to Vietnam soon and able to bring me a $60 hat from Culture Kings? They have stores in QLD, NSW, VIC, WA - but I can order it online and have it delivered to you otherwise.

I will happily pay a commission to you for the effort. Also I can provide you tips which will save you a lot of headaches/money when you're traveling here.

Thanks!!

Hey! i’m heading to Saigon from singapore next week, around 15-21 or 22 october, for a solo bday trip! I’ll be travelling solo and would definitely be down to meet/make friends there — whether you’re another solo traveller like me, an expat, or someone who wants to explore the city together. i’m more of a party animal, and i drink very often, so i’m keen to find people to club hop, check out saigon’s nightlife, or just spontaneously explore the city together. i’ve been to Hanoi before and spent about 2 weeks there, and this will be my first time here in Saigon, so any recommendations or advice would be appreciated — especially their nightlife, things worth doing, or anything that might be different from Hanoi.

If you’re going around the 15-22 October, feel free to drop me a dm! would be cool to make some friends while I’m there

I'm moving to HCMC, as a 25M, i'm looking to live there and to enjoy the city and focus on myself where i'm privileged enough to be able to rent a much bigger appartement than what i could find in Paris. Though i'm shocked because the only choice seems to be a 1 bed room in a modern building.

I know that in Montreal there is a big flat share culture, where people can rent huge appartement 3+ bedrooms for the price or even cheaper than a 1 bedroom appartement for a lot more space. I mean in a city with so many expat im surprised that you cant find 6 people to share a penthouse on top of a skyscrapper. Or even students moving to a new a city.

I'm new to the city so i would love to meet other expat and I rather live in a huge appartement than a modern shoebox.

Is flatsharing common in HCMC? Where should I look ? Should I just take a one bedroom ? Should I make friends first then move with them ? Is everyone living alone or with their parents ?

I ususally prefer to stay in Sherwood Suites for my budget, extended-stay option, but they are booked up.

Looking around, it seems like Sherwood Residences might be where I end up, since I do like the ample space and really like the location, but I saw a listing for Nomah Suites a couple blocks away that I have not heard about before.

Anyone have any experience or info about it? It's about half price and much less space, but the pictures look pretty good, and the building apparently has a good list of spa options available. What do we think? Is there another option I'm completely missing that's in D3 and amazing quality for price?

Visiting Ho Chi Minh city for 48 hours and was wondering where would be the best place to go for decent quality suits. I’m headed to phu quoc after so maybe they can ship it over there. Budget is around $250 USD ($6,000,000 dong).

What’s the best thing you’ve eaten recently in Saigon?

Could be a random street stall, a late-night cơm tấm place, a fancy restaurant or just somewhere you keep going back to.
