Transport
I try not to take taxi which i considered not cheap.
Bus is 6k dong n Grabcar/bike is much cheaper than taxi.
Anyway bus is available to n fro from the airport to D1 from 5k to 30k if u don't have bulky luggage.
Medications n shopping are also cheap like prices in Philipines.
My last trip of 20 days in HCM total spending excl airfare was less than S$800 including some mongering activities.
So i would say abt $1.2k per month for me to retire comfortably in HCM. Cost will be even lower if i rent an apt over hotel.

Bro, thanks for sharing.
You are indeed thrifty.
This is what I mean what you hope to achieve or wanted to live as. I knew of others who can spend big money in just 4D3N and also those who live frugal just like you.
Scenario 1.
Daily eat and drink at New World Hotel
Gamble at casino
Bring along a well dress gf
Gf may bring friends or sisters
Night time patronized clubs such as Lush, Gold 02...
Easily can spend 15 to 30 million dongs per day.
Scenario 2
Daily eat and drink at roadside or small shops
No gamble
Just patronize bj joints or use website fj
Dun go clubs or expensive drinking places
Daily can spend 500k
So no comparison of apple and orange. Just that HCM or whole Vietnam is big enough to cater to many different types of ppl.
Feel free to comment.
