My Travel Haul & Expenses of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2012)

When my parents went Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) a year before me, they bought plenty of souvenirs for me and I did blog about it - click here for more. So when it's my turn, I just bought those necessary for my dearest family and friends only. The following are my hauls throughout my 7 days and 6 nights trip in HCMC, Vietnam:

Travel Expenses Ho Chi Minh City 2012
(The rate as at the time I changed; RM1.00 : 6,680 VRN whereas RM3.00 : USD$1)

NOTE:
  1. Return airfare for just only RM12 but I burned the one from KL back to KK. At the end, I booked another last minute flight from KL back to KK. Don't get it wrong. It's not that I miss my flight, just I wanna return back home earlier.
  2. Baggage allowance for flight to HCMC was 15 kg (RM40) and flight from HCMC was 15 kg (RM40).
  3. Stayed for 6 nights throughout our trip. For more information about this budget hotel which comes with complimentary breakfast, click HERE
  4. I was travelled alone on the first day. Hence, I need to bear this cost alone.
  5. Taxi from hotel to the airport cost USD$10 and divided among three of us. 
  6. Including air-conditioner tourist bus, English speaking tour guide, boat trips (for both motor and rowing boats), entrance fees, 1 water bottle, some fruits and honey tea as well as lunch. On top of that, it includes pick-up and drop-off from where we stayed.- post here.
  7. Including pick-up and drop-off from where we stayed and English speaking tour guide. However, admission fee and lunch is not included and we have to bear on our own.- post here.
  8. Actually this is just based my estimation because I lost my travel notepad which I always keep track of all my travel expenses and I left in Melbourne, Australia before I managed to key in all into Excel form. Clumsy me! 
  9. Same goes to this too but I remember overall I only spend three pieces of USD$100 throughout the trip. Most of my souvenirs and shopping haul are as photos above. Also including postcards and stamps.
