However, I will suggest to change in Singapore. Reasons:
1) You can compare prices at The Arcade (near Raffles Place MRT)
2) Money charger is less likely to cheat you.
3) It is easily to find money charger in Singapore than HCMC. For HCMC, it seemed like only certain locations have money charger. Read Google reviews that ppl mentioned that they were cheated.

The location I suggested is for LAST RESORT. E.g. Want to chiong more but not enough VND.
Change in VN. Ha Tam rate is always higher than XE online rate. I worked near arcade and compared the rates many times and notice there will be few hundred difference between arcade’s rate and Ha Tam’s rate. Of course the queue in Ha Tam can be a big turn off some times.
