Anyone know if places like Phung Thuy would be opened and my most concern is food actually.
Can I still enjoy girls and food during those period?

Thanks to all contribution, will write a report back.

food. grabfood lol.
my stomach is weak, couldn’t take street food
i have been eating restaurants or cafes since day 1 lol.
you still get to try their local food,

what i mean by grab food is not delivery,
get the address from grab food, grab bike over, check the cleanliness.
order and enjoy the environment.

girls is just , how thick your wallet only lah

Just use dbs do remit to vn bank. Flat $30 fee.

Can select they receive sg or vn dong.

If u choose They recieve vn dong, means Dbs convert, example few days ago 16,800+

If u choose they receive sg dollars. Money reach their vn bank. Their bank convert, usually higher by abt 200+.

Depend on vn bank, and city u remit to, so far I send hcm. Always same day recieve

This is probably the absolute worst choice as they will charge the highest rates and low security at receiving end.

If MoneyGram available there it's a cheaper option. persoanlly I use an App called TransferWise which iuses market rates, charge a low commission fee and can be 8x cheaper than banks/transfer services

[domainame]

go to local vietnam community and ask them how to transfer money to vietnam

Some times it's cheaper than any financial institute

For example if you trf to vietnam $1K only cost $6 and they received also in USD

so just ask around

The easiest way of sending by WU is to sent from WU to WU. In jb the charge is only 5 ringget.

My friend sent by WU spore to her Vietnam wife ageicultural bank acct and until today we don't know why she couldn't receive it. However WU did refund the money to my friend.

Sent via posb oversea remit to vietnam is expensive and complicated. However I use this method to sent money to my gf bank of China acct and it's free.

They were raided because girls were sneaking fj's when they weren't suppose to or whatever. I don't know. They just paid a fine and are up and running fine. I went a few months ago.

{edited by mod - too many is trying to promote this establishment which indirectly promote the place without paying sbf}

My bad didn't mean to promote

If it's small money (below usd5K), I'll just hand carry cash in and out of the country. So far no problem. i have been stopped once before, but after showing the authorities my money (i think it was about USD4.8K, my blue card and telling them it's from my monthly salary, they let me off without any further checks.

cheers

Ya. Haha. I will always ask ppl use dbs. Least a legit bank. Dbs sys easy to use. Just log in. Trf fund. Click on previous send acct, again. Type in amt, send. So easy, use mobile also can. Within a min. Don't hv to run around. And its safe for me n whoever receiving fund.

** note. For those remit money... U send 3k sg, fee $30. U send 20k, fee also s$30. Don't gong gong send $100. Hahahha

So far, best time to send ard 3+pm. Usually an hr later, dbs will sms back successful.

Sometimes I send morning, only afternoon thn come back with successful sms.

For those receiving in vn. Their bank will message once fund in. So far, from past experience. To hcm. . fastest from dbs to joint stock commercial bank (vietcom, without fail is within same day)

Acb n exim . . one to three days. Once in awhile, beneficiary hv to call to enquire. . kns.

BTW. Today Dbs exchange s$1 = 16,949.15

Viet bank tt ard 17,093
Viet bank cash ard 16,922
Black market cash maybe ard 17,200 ( other bro to confirm, not sure). Haha

Cheers
