It is also very important to tell the fact that currency conversions for different US denominations are different where the value of US $100 > US $50 > US $20 and like that. They also do not accept old notes even if they are not torn in any way. Same thing happens in Thailand.
I am back from Vietnam so technically no reason to check out videos but the nostalgia makes me see these. Plus you are doing great work giving honest genuine advice . Few suggestions based on my experience - Indian IDP is not valid in Vietnam. India is a signatory to different IDP convention so if caught by cop even that won't help. That being said, no one was checking or asked me for it. Klook was pretty unreliable for me. It locked my wife's and mine account for 24 hours. Finally had to contact local operators to book tour

As mentioned in the video, I use Niyo by DCB global card & RBL World Safari credit card. Very recently, I used Niyo card in UAE & Georgia & there were nominal ATM usage charges levied by local banks in some cases but not by Niyo. Niyo charged 20% of TCS, which got reversed (if your international expenditure is less than 7 Lacs in the financial year). The reversal of charges that I told in the video was of TCS only which was 5% before Oct'23 & now it is 20%, I thought TCS to be withdrawal charges. Niyo, DCB never charged any withdrawal fees. Wherever possible, I use the RBL World Safari credit card, which has zero forex markup charge.
