The end is fact, Its all about foods and bar 😅
• 15 tr(650$) for me one month living like a local.
• But also 30 tr (1300$) if i order wine and cheese and trying good restaurant going out.
• 40-60tr (1700-2600$) for my expat friend going to coworking, gym, club and only eating in western restaurants 😅
That makes sense, Will. These French fellas and their lavish lifestyles of wine 🍷 and cheese 🧀😂
@@phucmapvlog right better drink beer here to save money😂😂😂
Most of our typical Vietnamese family (Husband & Wife, 2 kids) in Hanoi and HCMC manage to do well with total income below $1000 per monnth. So being an expat, living alone here, $1000 a month is enough for you to live comfortably.
However, if you want to have a playboy lifestyle, then Sky is the limit, really. People are getting richer very fast in Vietnam, and in Hanoi and Saigon, you are not consider "rich" if you do not have more then 5 millions dollar in your bank account. So we also have a lot of "luxury service" for these guys that cost you a lot if you want to try 😂😂😂
stop order wine and cheese , we have beer , fried tofu,... . Lets go to beer restaurant on street, very cheap ! ^ ^
@@phanhuyduc2395 $1000 enough? LMFAOOO
From my experience living in Vietnam this is the most accurate cost of living video I have ever seen. Most vlogers seem to promote a lavish lifestyle which is fine but totally unnecessary. When they say you need 2000 dollars minimum, I just want to give them a good slap.
Happy to hear I got it right, thanks for watching
$2000$ is a salary for an experienced, senior engineer :(
When you give them slap, help me to send mine too 🤣
I am here, come to slap me, I will open a can whop ass😀😀, guess it was a dumb joke. 2k is a lot of Vietnamese life style, but for a Westerners 2k to maintenance a bit of Western life in far away land. And without ability of 2k/month, it would be tough for raining day
Just say you’re broke as fuck and move on bro
2000$ với một người Việt... đủ sống trong 6 tháng :))
Dude, you are a legend mate... been watching your vids for a while... I aspire to reach even half your level of vietnamese!! hope to meet ya someday if/when they bring back the longer 3months visas... peace and respect!
Thanks for the information. The last time I was in Saigon for a very short visit was Spring 2007. Looking forward to coming back to visit in the near future. Saigon is my hometown but I left for Washington DC in 1965. Now Tampa Florida is home.
Hello neighbor, I’m in Florida as well
Wow! - You simply don't look like you could be that old Eliane! - Very pretty lady!
Thanks for sharing 👍it’s really helpful ❤️
Awesome content as usual!
But I especially love your lighting, cheap / smart and effective!
👍👍👍
Glad you like it!
Informative info...Love your work...Keep them coming.🙂🙂
Appreciate the support!
Hurley, phuc map you're a gem to us watching you from other countries. Please more cost of living for people looking to retire in VN.
Means a lot, thanks!
Howdy Hurley / Phuc Map - Really enjoy watching your vid's - Great content and simply fun to watch how you interact with the locals and their reactions to you. I was last in Vietnam 1968 after being there for 18 months. Can't believe I have not made it back there all these years! - Planning to get over there in the next few months, before I get too old and unable to travel. Hope to maybe catch up with you & some others while there. I subscribed to the channel and will enjoy all your past vids too. A very easy and fun way to learn what's going on with Saigon today. Thanks for all the effort you put into it! ........Cul, .......VegasJim
Appreciate you taking the time to watch. It is crazy that you visited that long ago, safe travels on your way back!
Very informative video! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing Phúc Mập. Detailed & informative!
Glad you like it!
This is always something I stress to people state side. That cost of living here is so cheap and enjoyable.
Yes, it helps you realize how expensive America is in general
Good stuff man! I miss Vietnam
Your RUclips plaque is looking good and the lighting looks like a Nanlite product.
You speak good Vietnamese. Well done.
I live in England for almost 43 years, my Vietnamese is very rusty.
Very informative, thank you.
Thanks for info, Phúc Mập. It's good to know.
Nice video. Thanks.
Man, left home 40+ years, about to retire, will come to see a new land. Thank you for the info.
Thanks for the vlog!
Nice info. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Thanks Phuc Map ! Another great and useful video! What district do you live in?
Thanks for watching as always, I'm in Tân Bình
You are such a cool dude! My hat off to you!
Very cool and very true. It can be very hot and muggy there also. Chúc Mừng Năm Mới.
Hey, when are you coming to Hanoi. I've been here for over 2 years and absolutely love it here. When you are here I'd love to get a VN coffee with you. Love watching your content. Have a great day.
Thank you Phuc Map so much , I just send this clip to my ex who wants to live in VN recently !
Perfect!
Your Vietnamese pronunciation is CLEAN! Awesome video too.
Wow, thank you!
nói chung việt nam là thiên đường của người nước ngoài. đồng tiền thấp hơn, giá cả sinh hoạt thấp hơn, điều kiện sống cũng thấp và đơn giản hơn, những chỗ ăn chơi giải trí cũng rẻ mà ko đòi hỏi khắt khe gì nhiều, văn hoá người việt lại sính ngoại, trọng tây hơn việt nữa.
các bạn người nước ngoài nếu có tiền hãy đến việt nam sinh sống để hưởng thụ cuộc sống. còn ko có tiền thì cũng cứ đến, vì cũng dễ tìm việc mà lương cũng khá cao so với mặt bằng chung của người việt.
Vậy sao bạn không nghĩ ông này đang làm ở việt nam
Và Nhận lương như người việt nam
Do chênh lệch tỉ giá, 500usd ko đủ tiền mua bảo hiểm 1 tháng ở mỹ, nhưng ở vn làm đc tất cả mọi thứ thậm chí sống cả gia đình nếu chi tiêu hợp lý.
@@vuthi8172người nước ngoài ở vn họ làm việc gì?có làm việc xuất nhập khẩu qua lại nước của họ không?họ sống ở vn họ thích vì họ kinh doanh tốt hay họ có người yêu ở vn tốt.chứ nước của họ rộng lớn không lẽ họ không làm ăn ở trong nước được hả?hay làm ở vn họ đi đi về về giao hàng nhập hàng thôi.rước người vn qua mỹ làm mô hình y như vn được không?cho việt kiều ở bên đó khỏi cần về vn mà cũng được vui chơi có gái vn làm chủ chơi y như kiểu lúc họ ở vn mở phòng bay lắc cắn kẹo có tiếp viên được không?😁hay ở mỹ không ai ăn chơi chỉ đi làm thôi.cuối tuần mới cfê thôi à..
Lương một giáo viên bản xứ khoảng tầm 1000$, ngoài ra còn có thêm các job phụ cho thu nhập thụ động như chứng khoán, tiền ảo... năng động hơn thì làm nhà sáng tạo nội dung trên tiktok, youtube như Phúc, kiếm cũng không ít đâu. Nhưng giờ trung tâm ngoại ngữ nhiều, lựa chọn đầu vào cũng khắt khe hơn, nhiều người nước ngoài không dễ tìm việc ở VN với mức lương kể trên. Gần đây trên reddit còn hay lưu truyền một xu hướng, đó là "cày" tiền ở quốc gia của họ trong vòng 15 năm, sau đó chuyển sang các nước đông nam á sống. Nghĩ cũng đúng, một người có công việc chính quy ở nước ngoài, thu nhập 1 tháng của họ bằng 2 năm làm công nhân ở VN. cày cuốc 15 năm, đến 35,40 tuổi nghỉ hưu mang khoản tiền tiết kiệm sang VN sống.
Good video. I shared it with my AVSE-Tesol group.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video
Love you bro!!
Let's be honest, this is a bit cheaper than I think is realistic. If you have a good job, $2000 is easy. I live in Hanoi, pay $900 for a two bed luxury apartment, and another $1000 for coffee, insurance, food etc. Why eat Veitnamese food everyday? They have amazing food here in Vietnam that's from various countries. Curry might be $10, even going to Lotte for a burger and some Korean chicken would be $10.
Phúc à
Chứng tỏ Phúc thích Vietnam lắm mới mần đc chủ đề này.
Chủ đề này lúc nào cũng hot với người nước ngoài.
You should do an episode of how much local Vietnamese made and live by as well
great vid!
Thanks a lot!
Nice video
Thanks Phúc Mạp
Good ideas…, Phúc Mập Vlog ..👍 Thank you 🙏😍😘😘
Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
I love Phúc mập channel. 😍 💖 ❣ 💕..thank you 😊
Great Vlog Phuc,
Cost of living definatley depends on where you live. We own a house 2 hours North of Saigon so no rental costs. Only costs me around $50 aud a week for basic food. Smokes ( Before you say it, i know i should quit! lol) about $5 a week (100k vietnam dong for a carton of 10). I dont drink much alcohol, probably a carton every 3 months. Power cost depends on air con use, normally around $70 aud a month if the bedroom aircon stays on all night. Ide say on average ide spend $100 a week with sundries included. I must look into health cover, something i keep leaving on the back burner
For sure, we were pricing different apartments in Central Vietnam and it was ridiculously cheap. Obviously the normal living costs come in to play, but don’t skip out on the insurance, you don’t want to meet her and not have it
@@phucmapvlog i enjoy the life style, pretty sure im the only white dude around here. Inlaws say the only white people they see are the ones on buses looking out the window heading toward Dalat 😆 If i need a western Food fix i can get a car and head to Saigon or Vungtau for a few days lol
Thanks very much for this video. I’m not thinking of moving there but want to spend a month or so, so there’s some very useful information for a newbie like I will be. :-)
Glad to hear it helped
Thinking about going back to VN to live. Thanks for sharing Phúc đẹp trai nhất Sài Gòn 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Phúc
Đóng góp chút ý kiến
Chử Transportation có thể dịch là:
vận chuyển , di chuyển (bằng nhiều phương tiện khác nhau )
Thanks
Im using viettel telecom and its cost me $4.3/month ($3.2 for 1GB data and $1 for roaming). For the motobike gasoline approximately $3.9/week. Eating cost $2.6~$3.9 3 meals/day. For the rental cost, my friend living in container, cost him $21.7/month or living in 10m2 room in my boss's mini apartment cost $43/month, sharing WC yike. Im using my own bike, never rent a motobike before. Average incomes in HCMC is $434/month
Fantastic video mate - how long did it take you to get fluent in Vietnam?
Thanks for watching, I would say at least two years to get a good handle on it for sure
Quá hay anh Phúc.
Always awesome
The lighting was very well done.
Appreciate ya!
Chào 1 ngày mới với Phúc Mập Vlog 😍
Chào 👋🏻
Chúc mừng năm mớiiiiiii !
Excellent info... deserves free beer. 😎
What's the best beer available in Sai Gon? Asking for a friend.

Great video! I plan on visiting Vietnam for a month very soon the insurance part will help me out
Don’t pass it up, safe travels 🤙🏻
Phúc mập ơi , Videos của Phúc rất hay , rất thích hợp để học tiếng anh nhưng tiếc là không có phần Seek !
Cảm ơn đã xem
My expenses are 16 to 20 million a month. That's for a studio apartment, bike, eating local food, and going to western places three times a week
Sounds like a decent trade off 👌🏻
I looked at Nomad insurance. My neice just got married and this is something they'll be interested in. I'll let them know about it.
If you ask locols to rent an apartment of 50-60m2 with 2 bedrooms in hochiminh city ,only 250 $ for month. But can stay up to 4-5 people. And you can also buy a used motobike for 150 -200$
You should start a business to teach English in Vietnam or teach foreigners to speak Vietnamese since you are able to speak both language. Similar to NinjaTeacher with that guy Alex who lives in Saigon and has his own RUclips channel.
Thanks! Can you please share if you hear about 60 or 90-day visa for USA.
Can you talk about cost of ozone therapy and other medical expenses in Vietnam?
The locals love Western foreigners that can speak good Vietnamese for several reasons.
1. It's impressive and shows real dedication since Western languages and Vietnamese is vastly different.
2. Locals would think these foreigners whom go through the difficulty must like the Vietnamese or atleast really want to mingle in some way.
3. Any Western foreigner that can speak the local language is good for buissness.
My family is close friends with an African guy that can speak perfect Vietnamese and English whom is married to a beautiful Viet women. Everyone loves him. Trust me though, getting good at Vietnamese is difficult because you gotta get the sound and tone right but practice is key.
I feel welcomed by the community at home in Vietnam and abroad
Very good ,phúc mập.I like you so much
Appreciate ya!
Tôi rất cách suy nghĩ thực tiễn ,lô gich và tính tiết kiệm của bạn .bạn ở vn 8 năm ,gương mặt của bạn sau khi ở vn đã việt nam hoá rồi nha .Chúc mừng bạn vì đã tìm thấy cuộc sống có ý nghĩa và tương đối có hp ở vn ,cụ thể là tp HCM.
Cam on anh phut map. Gioi thieu cach song o vn
Cảm ơn Phúc mập.
Facts! 🙏
Well done Phuc . Don't think I could ever live in Vietnam . Would miss California too much. But I would love to vacation there for a couple of weeks though. Expenses are relative. If you have the means, you don't have to worry about the costs too much.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but you should try it out sometime. It’s one of those things where you realize how expensive it is in America!
There are lots to see in Vietnam. Two weeks are not enough.
@@ChrissieSM Agreed, I could spend a year there and still not see enough. I call California my home so I would miss it dearly after just 2 weeks. Only know this because I have been all over the world traveling and most have been just 2 weeks at a time and have always missed being home.
@@phucmapvlog America has it's costs as compared to Vietnam and Thailand. I truly enjoy watching others vlogging and love Vietnam. It's just not for me. Especially the heat/humidity, the traffic and the air pollution. I would spend most of my time in Da Lat or Hoi An, Phu Quoc if I visited. I am glad you call it home though.
@@brucewayne2773 I am the opposite. Whenever I go somewhere in the world, I don't want to go back home, especially when I visit the US. I have visited 14 US states, I hope to visit more.
Xin chào Phúc Mập. Cảm ơn b đã chọn Việt Nam để sinh sống và du lịch.
Out of simplicity. Local or foreigner. How much is your monthly expense for food/apartment/transportation/and leisure.
Is it for a single person or a family?
I am thinking of moving my family (3 people) to South Vietnam and would love to know anyone that has a similar situation and their monthly costs. Thanks.
I would say:
Food: $10/day/person is sufficient
Rent: most foreigners I know pay around $400-500/month for a decent apartment/studio
Grab Taxi (car): $4-8 around the city (per trip)
@@phucmapvlog cheers bro. Would like to settle down with the family. Put my kid in school and have a reasonable job there for the wife and I.
Regarding food, if you cook yourself it would be even cheaper, this applies to anywhere in the world.
@@ListenandLearnEnglish It's a fairly safe, comfortable place for that. One thing though, I've heard the international schools are fairly expensive
If your family includes a child in the school going age, keep in mind that international schools are very expensive. ISHCMC, the American, British, Australian and French schools in Ho Chi Minh City all advertise their fees online. Cheers, OX
I'll be there in September
my friend! try selling lottery tickets on the street in saigon
Bữa nào a phúc làm bài về chính tri ở vn thử
I do the same thing when converting currency regardless of actual exchange rate...100 yen, 30 baht, 20k dong, 50 peso. im fine with ball park figures
So much easier
Bowl of Pho here in SoCal is about $12-$15 bucks, I need to go to Vietnam asap
Can’t even imagine!
$22 bucks in Toronto :)
I should go there and open a Phở restaurant 😁
Đưa tôi 10$ tôi sẽ cho bạn ăn phở trong 1 ngày đến khi bạn ăn không nổi nữa. 😂
Góp ý với phúc vầy nhé, người du lịch nếu ở lại từ 5 tháng đến 1năm thì khi đến hãy đi thi bằng lái (Việt Nam có chương trình thi bằng lái cho người nước ngoài khá là đơn giản) và sau đó mua 1 xe máy qua sử dụng tầm giá 10.000.000-20.000.000vnd để đi du lịch và trước khi bạn rời đi có thể bán lại với giá 6.000.000-16.000.000vnd, nó sẽ rẻ hơn và hay hơn bạn đi thuê xe máy
Phúc Mập youre really amazing
Thanks, I’m glad you think so

GOOD NOON💚❤❤❤❤
all true and confirm by a very very Vietnamese 😂 you did a good job Phuc map😂😂
appreciate ya!
Just live like a local, you're be a king/queen with 1.500 dollars per month.
Renting room: 200
Eating: 200
Traveling: 100
Hanging out: 100
Then, you still have 900 for doing whatever u want: vitting other provinces, having in restaurants, getting laid (30 bucks/shot)... :))
Người lao động thấp chỉ kiếm 200k,300k mỗi ngày họ vẫn sống được ở Việt nam. Vietnam rất dễ sống và thân thiện chỉ cần có lao động. 🥰🇻🇳

Good information. It is cheap, but it’s comparable to the work you get and the pay as well. Do they charge for an ambulance 🚑 there? Would the insurance you buy covers this? I think I could live there for 6-1 year with a job or else I would get bored. I think though I would miss things like Beautiful clean beaches in Australia & just cinemas & live entertainment. But, definitely a once in a life opportunity to explore.
some good concerns, not sure on the ambulances
Your Vietnamese is now better than mine ehehe.😀
appreciate it!
How have you lived in vietnam that long I want to move there and know the process of moving

Great video Phuc! I’m Vietnamese living in US for 40 yrs and planning on my 1st trip in 2023. Can you make a video on what is the best way to get money from my US banks when I’m in VN and how do you carry money around, like in the US, we just use debit cards. Is ATM readily available ? And also cell phones, do I just carry my US phones and buy a SIM card? I’m clueless 🤪. Cảm ơn nhiều 😎
in the big city, ATM is always available. If you use VISA card then you can cash out anytime with the cost of 0.5$ per transaction, but remember to look for VISA logo on the ATM, some local bank ATM just support their card only. For the SIM card is quite easy and cheap (around 5-10$ that already have some money in it) to buy one that support 4G and have it install on your phone.
@@IllIdan1st awesome! Thank you.
VISA ? MASTER CARD ?? IS WHERE. VN is growing fast. Most local restaurant use credit. You can go to bank to exchange money. Take 10 000 USD in your luggage you can have comfortable life in VN for 6-8 months.
Depending how do you want and where to stay..
Đúng là xe đạp khá phù hợp cho người nước ngoài mới đến VN tập làm quen với giao thông, nếu đoạn đường nào cảm thấy khó chạy có thể dắt bộ cho an toàn :D Cám ơn Phúc Mập đã giới thiệu VN với thế giới
đúng rồi Top Fan, cảm ơn đã xem
Hay a
This was very informational 👍. Just to live, I’m spending $4K USD a month.
$4k…you party everyday?
@@SimpleX84 😂 I wish, it’s too expensive living in New Jersey in America. Property land tax is ridiculously high.
@@yennieyen3961 my mistake I thought you meant you spend $4k a month in Vietnam.
You'd be living like a king with a $4K monthly budget! Nice luxury Vinhome apartment with a maid and party every night like it's 1999 .... Not a hyperbole!
@@SimpleX84 No worries…I’m pretty sure $4K in VN is luxury lifestyle.
Live like local, cause im local and it cost 7mils to 10mils vnd average to live ( just food, some bills , and rent) if u want some higher living yes there is out there but it not local anymore and cost around 15 - 20mils, district is important too, the price of living will be adjust to different area. Good day to you. edit: mils is millions and costing per month
No doubt 🤜🤛
