MONEY AND BUDGET IN VIETNAM
Vietnam has been known as a cheap destination for worldwide tourists, so it is essential to get some basic information about money and spending here before you pay for your Vietnamese tour.
The official currency unit of Vietnam is Vietnam D**g (VND - 1 USD = 23.610 VND). The current notes of Vietnam D**g are 500, 1.000, 2.000, 5.000, 10.000, 20.000, 50.000, 100.000, 200.000, 500.000.
Tourists can easily exchange major currencies here, especially at the banks in big cities, such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. People can also use their international credit or debit cards in most ATMs and shops that accept card payments.
In addition, bargaining is a part of Vietnamese culture. As a foreigner, you really need to bargain for many goods because you can be usually offered higher prices. In contrast, tips are not familiar to Vietnamese. However, it has become more frequent now, so you can freely tip for your favorite services. For example, you can tip your tour guide or driver after you finish your tour.
