  • Vietnam currency can be quite confusing at first sight when you arrive for your Vietnam holiday. All those zeros, different colours and similar notes with values of $1 and $22. Get them mixed up as a backpacker and you will not be a happy chappy!
    Here I will go through each individual note and explain what you should see on both sides, what the amount is in various currencies around the world & what you can buy with it. I will also help you say each amount in Vietnamese.
    **Don't miss the taxi scam tip, you must watch for this alone to avoid being ripped off!**
    Follow along with Simon and get to grips with the Vietnamese currency before you travel to Vietnam.
    If you want to book one or two Day Trips throughout Vietnam, do check out our website at www.travelagenthanoi.com/viet... and see what there is in store.

    Thanks for the money tips never been before I have a question on carrying a back pack for buying things or carrying money what’s the best way of doing this ?! With out it being grabbed on a bike or off your shoulders .. does anyone use bum bags ?!

    • @TravelAgentHanoi
      @TravelAgentHanoi  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Deborah. I'd say bum bags would be a good option, don't keep too much cash on you and don't hold your mobile phone out in front of you on street edges or corners would be my first thoughts. Any pockets in bags, keep them zipped up. A lady in our group of 40 last week had her smartphone stolen from her bag, but she forgot to zip it up. Night market and Hoan Kiem Lake (Hanoi) are prime spots for pickpockets. Maybe others can chirp in with their own thoughts and tips. Thanks for watching Deborah.

    500 đồng ở Việt Nam chúng tôi rất phổ biến , tôi luôn nhìn thấy chúng ở các hàng quán và thậm chí ở ngoài đường xá vì mệnh giá đó rất nhỏ chỉ mua được 1 cục kẹo có thể tìm thấy nó ở bất kì đâu trên mảnh đất hình chữ s mất nó thì không có ai phải tiếc cả còn 200 đồng thì không phải nhà nào cũng có vì nó đã bị bỏ rất lâu nên nó còn số lượng khá ít ỏi ý là vẫn nhiều ngoài ra cũng còn tờ 100 đồng và vì nó rất nhỏ nên nó không còn được xuất hiện nhiều nữa 😢😅😊

    Fascinating video Si, I've got a collection of notes and coins, I don't think I've got any dong though. I remember when Italy had the Lira, it was all thousands. I kind of miss seeing larger looking notes. Euros are boring in comparison.

    • @TravelAgentHanoi

      Doughnuts being carried around in baskets by the ladies aren’t that nice anyway Danial. They’ve been dragged around all day in the boiling heat and tasteless. You pay a pretty penny for these too. Best place to buy fresh doughnuts is at 1 or 3 (can’t remember exact number but you’ll see queues of Vietnamese on their bikes waiting outside) Luong Ngoc Quyen in Hanoi’s old quarter. 👌🏻 Thanks for commenting guys.

    Very useful, thanks. I'm going to vietnam soon, my first time, and now familiarizing myself with the cash money. Maybe someday they will remove some zeros from these notes. Seems like a wise thing to do.

    • @TravelAgentHanoi
      @TravelAgentHanoi  Рік тому

      Thanks that's nice to hear. I will probably do an updated video on currency to show what prices are like now and what each note can buy you, especially now in high inflation times. Thanks for watching. Yeah I wish. But when we work on our calculations for our tours etc with clients we don't bother with the last 3 zeros and divide by 23 (ish) for the dollar. Hope that helps too. Cheers

    • @TravelAgentHanoi
      @TravelAgentHanoi  2 роки тому +1

      To be honest, it probably isn't used by many people, but is used as a trick by the supermarkets. They price things at 29500 and take 30000 from the customer, more often than not don't give change...I've found anyway. Or, they will offer a 5 Dong sweet in its place!! Shocking actually. Imagine all those 500 VND from all their customers, amount up to quite a bit...!
