Vietnam is the cheapest. End of.

There will be inflation, but eating out in VN will always be one of the cheapest in the world because the vast majority of eateries and services are family run and they face stiff competition-- They have to be really good and really cheap. Chain restaurants really don't exist in VN because they can't compete.

For having travelled all over the world, I can say that whenever I got food poisoning, it was from a restaurant, and not from a market stall. And I think I know why: in the market the food is freshly made every morning from freshly bought produce. So its not very fair to say that market food is less hygienic than a restaurant. In a restaurant the hygiene can be lacking, the food stored too long in the fridges and get contaminated.

Here I talked about monthly budget, it is approximately the same now Cost of living Da Nang Vietnam | Apartment tour, bike rental, food kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6Znus99c9GudLA.html

It's the same in Mexico City and Costa Rica. Eating out in Costa Rica is crazy expensive but housing is affordable.

There is a huge economic shift going on in the world and eventually ASEAN countries will be more expensive to live than in EU... the economies are rising in GDP faster than the west and more consistently.. am headed to SGN in 3 weeks and can't wait.. might pop up to Danang so maybe see ya around!

I've watched some of your videos sharing about life and living costs in Vietnam and also read quite a few comments from foreigners. Many comments praise, many criticize the increasing living costs in Vietnam as well as issues of environment, traffic, food hygiene and safety. In my opinion, such a comparison is quite unfair to Vietnam because our country is only a developing country and cannot be compared with developed countries in Europe, America or your homeland. When you choose a country with lower standards than yours to live long-term, you have to accept the bad things about that country but in return with a low or moderate budget you will have a good quality life, freedom, comfort and freedom from the pressure of living costs compared to the homeland. The rising cost of living in Vietnam or any country in the world is obviously normal because the world economy in general is going through a period of recession and inflation, so prices are increasing steadily. Surely the price will never be lower or equal to the price ten or twenty years ago, you have to accept that. Instead, we must find ways to earn more monthly and yearly income to make our lives more stable. We cannot have a better quality and more stable life with just $1000 per month for the next 10 or 20 years without our income increasing. I am very happy that many foreigners choose Vietnam to live long term. I hope everyone will have a happy and joyful life in Vietnam.

It should be noted, however, that the mentality of the Nordic populations is that of warriors who only think about waging war and despoiling other people's lands. South Vietnam is inhabited by a more peaceful pagan people. Instead of thinking about waging war all the time, they focus their efforts on building and building, which is not the case for the Northerners who devoted their budget to the war effort against South Vietnam particularly in 1940 to 1975. This is why Saigon has more high-rise buildings. instead of small dilapidated houses in the North. As an unfortunate consequence, Democratic South Vietnam lost the war against communist North Vietnam and with it the tragedy of the thousands of boat people perished in the South China Sea in the 1980s.

thanks for the feedback 🙏I do understand that most of the viewers are not from US :) And I agree that prices in VND should be mentioned too. but if I’m completely honest doing voice overs and editing all by myself is very time consuming, I worked all week and sacrificed my weekend to finish this one and worked till 8pm on Sunday 😭 As soon as I can afford to hire an editor, I promise the quality of editing will be better with conversions and prices in both currencies on the screen. For now I decided that USD is the currency most of the people know the value of. And sometimes I just forget to mention VND, and there is no time to record it all over again or put every price on the screen. I hope you understand 🤗 You can help me get closer to hiring an editor here, I would appreciate it www.buymeacoffee.com/olgapro

The reason Vietnam will get more expensive is because made in china is dead! Its now made in Vietnam... I see made in Vietnam tags on a lot of products now

jesus christ, Vietnam is already expensive $27 for pizza? That is a joke.

Where did it say US$ 27 for a pizza? The most expensive pizza was 160.000 vnd, which is US$ 6.5. Get your facts straight.

Pro tip- Don’t buy a pizza in VN- no matter what the price is. It just doesn’t taste the same. Best was in Danang at that NY style place. Don’t know where you got that 26 $ number. I just got back and I can eat for days on 26$.

The problem with food in VN is the quality of ingrediants. Sugar, MSG and people should ask how it is possible to buy a steak for 60k vnd, VN doesn't have stringent food laws like Europe, so you are essentially eating dog food. Obviously more reputable places use better ingrediants.

I think, Vietnam is a cheap country for those who like alcohol, cigarettes and coffee ..v.v..

Any time I bought a bottle of Jack Daniels it turned out to be a cheap substitute. What's up with that?

@@simbiotik8480 đất tôi phải nhập Jackdaniels nên giá phải cao hơn vì thuế, ở đây ở vùng quê họ thường dùng rượu nấu từ gạo giá chỉ từ 10 usd / 1 gallon nhưng chúng tôi thường dùng đơn vị là lít. Thành phố họ chỉ thích uống bia thay rượu nên bạn rất ít thấy người uống rượu. Một điều nữa nếu bạn thích rượu hãy vào siêu thị lớn bạn sẽ dễ dàng tìm được thứ bạn cần

32:01 I’ve been to Hoi An and got a lot of clothes tailored made at a very high end tailor. My family spent a large amount of money with them. After several fittings and adjustments I finally got my clothes delivered to my hotel around 12 am before I had to leave to fly home! Which left me no time to check everything was fine. When I got back home, all of my suit jackets, I found the sleeve was too short! I choose expensive buttons and many fell off! It was Yaly Coulture, highly recommended by another traveler. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. NEVER AGAIN WILL I MAKE TAILORED CLOTHING IN Hoi An. IT WAS A RIP OFF AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED OF THE FINAL FINISHES AFTER SO MANY FITTINGS! I don’t really know why or what happened, whether they were rushing or what but certainly the quality of sewing did not meet with the expensive materials and buttons etc. that I choose! I spent days going back and forth in the heat for fittings and wasted so much time when I could have gone site seeing! Such a shame as I had high expectations. All that money over $1000 wasted! So be warned! ❌⭕️❌⭕️⛔️⛔️⛔️

Hopefully you learnt from it. Always check before you order multiple, first check the quality of one set. It’s simple.

I've lived in 9 different countries for the last 3 years, only home to visit family occasionally, and eat out nearly every day except breakfast because it's cheaper than cooking at home. That's especially true in SEA.

In Vietnam, people eat out way more often than in the West. Even the poor people in the city eat breakfast and such out

Hi Olga, I'm FROM Croatia, living in Australia, I was looking to move from Australia to somewhere cheaper than here in Australia, I went to Kochi in Karela i was there 1 month, it is a nice place & at reasonable price, I have never been in Vietnam, some people here in Australia say DA NANG is a good place to live, what do you think, how much would I need for 1 month in DA NANG ONLY FOR MY SELF, Thank you,

As always, your budget would depend on the lifestyle and I tried to cover both cheaper options and the pricier ones in the video. You can go as low as $500 (USD) or up to $1500-2000. Join the chat if you need some guidance olgapronkina.com/da-nang-vietnam/
