    A Vlog of a journey from Bangkok to Saigon (HCMC) at the end of Feb 2020. Including the flight, buying a SIM card, taxi journey, hotel look and convenience store run on arrival.
    NB. No footage from Suvarnabhumi airport as I was running late but it was eerily quiet due to the downturn in tourism.
    Parts of this video include:
    0:04 First day preview
    1:29 Vietjet takeoff
    2:01 Insane pollution levels in Bangkok
    2:30 Quiet plane with many people wearing masks
    3:10 In flight magazine
    4:07 Approaching Saigon
    4:47 Landing and announcement
    6:05 9 minute bus journey
    7:44 No mandatory health scan or form to fill in
    8:24 A sneeze!!!!
    8:39 Buying a SIM card
    9:35 Using the ATM
    10:38 Beer and a banh mi
    12:51 Taxi to Gia Vien hotel with a sick driver
    15:56 Gia Vien hotel and room check
    17:53 Circle K convenience store run
    19:39 Outro
    Additional notes:
    This video was from a Visa run to Vietnam, where I stayed in the capital city of Saigon for a few days.
    I visited at the end of Feb 2020.
    Thank you for watching, and subscribe for more videos.
    NB: Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City are the same city, the name was changed after the 70s. The locals all call it Saigon so that's what I call it here.

    Vietel worked great for me while I was in Vietnam. I don't remember what I paid last time though. Seems in Thailand, AIS is the only one that my phone doesn't fight me to use so I just stick with it while I'm there. I could video message, my dad, just about anywhere with Vietel when I motorbiked from Saigon to Da Nang. No complaints from me.

    @BKK112 - Mai Lin (Green) Taxis are also good.
    The best advice is to get only as small amount as you can from the airport ATM and then get the taxi to where you are going straight away before buying any SIM card or food.
    SIM cards can be bought in many places. 400k is more than 4 months for me with 2GB of 4G data per day and 50 minutes of calls a month (90k VND) on Viettel.

    (Not a sponsored btw) 9:00 For a cheaper option for Vietttel or any cell provider in S.E Asia just download Klook on your phone, they have the cheapest deals on sim cards. You order in advance, then pick up at their partner stores at the airport, (which only takes a minute).
