This is the standard of trains:

For Saigon to Nha Trang there is a private operator of luxury carriages called Golden Trains which operate 4 soft berth carriages daily to Nha Trang:

The advantage to the Minibus is that you will have it to take you around Nha Trang when you are there, eliminating the need for taxis. The alternative is to do the return trip by train, and book two 7-seater taxis to take you around for the time you are in Nha Trang.

Vietnamese usually prefer to book a mini bus if travelling in a group.

if u have a group of 10 people,i advise u to book a 19 seater because its more comfortable and the journey is quite tiring and bumpy.

Told you can change Ringgit in hcm and you still dun believe...so why bother to ask if you dun believe...

You asking too many questions here...dun like too many tcss here...please pm your questions to jackbl since he is willing to answer all your questions...this thread is to share hcm info...

I felt very stupid to reply if answers are found here and all you have to do is to search the thread...or google...

I had replied some pms and not reply all pms...I felt that I am wasting time answering questions that are found in my signature and thread...

I had many coffee sessions with newbies...most are asking the same questions...told them to prepare their questions and most not well prepared...all hide their real motives and intentions to visit hcm till we probed and open them up...some have not even visit one year after meeting me...so hope newbies understand depends how you ask and what you ask...then i will answer...

dunno how long it will last. hope situation will be back to normal soon.

i didn't check other areas in d7 but only hj massages on ntt. not sure if fj shops in d7 are still open. if so it could be worth going there even if more expensive than qtb.

Err sorry bro, i didn't doubt your answer, just saying that if i cant find a place to change RM, i really dont know what to do adi.

Besides, i dont know who to direct the question to, thats why i posted here, but i will refrain from tcss unnecessarily.... apologies if i asked the wrong question. I've read the whole thread and would not ask the question if already can be found here.

Will post FR when im back from HCM den. Hopefully one of the seniors here could meet me up, so i can write something interesting.

Thanks
