How long will $100 last in Vietnam?

How long can $100 USD last in Vietnam for budget travelers?

Okay, so like, how far does $100 USD actually get you in Vietnam, right? It's a question I actually asked myself, cuz I'm all about traveling cheap.

For budget backpackers, think about $25/day max for food and a place to crash. So four days, roughly, if you're being SUPER careful.

But honestly? I spent maybe $30 a day. That included delicious pho at street stalls in Hanoi - seriously, the BEST (like 20,000 VND - less than $1 - near Hoan Kiem Lake!).

Mid-range? That's where things get interesting. Good restaurants, taxis (Grab is amazing, FYI), and comfier hotels? You're looking at $35-65 per day.

My experience? I stayed in a nice hotel in Hoi An (around $40 a night – good deal!) and ate at some pretty fancy places. Taxis around Da Nang, no problem. You'll have a blast. My flight was 13/04/2023.

So, yeah, $100 bucks? It can stretch pretty far in Vietnam, especially if you're smart about it!
