One of the most taxing characteristics regarding traveling is understanding how to traveljourney around while not getting hoodwinked , misplacing one's gear, or going generally crazy. voyaging around Vietnam is no exemption, because of that you should pay close attention to what I say in this article as this will lead to a huge leg up compared to those wanderers in the nation of Vietnam. don't ever Spend a great deal on Car Rentals A primary consideration when moving through the country is to never be overpaying for transportation. You do not have to agonize that much about buses and air travel because for the most part the cost is trustworthy. On the other hand there could be perceived to be a great big selection in quality and sincerity in the world of cars. Basically, a good rule of thumb for which taxis to give business to in the country of Vietnam is to choose one of the vetted outfits. Probably the biggest and honest taxi companies are Mai Linh, and Vinasun. if you constantly go with one of these two companies you should not have be anxious with being overbilled and taken around in circles to burn up the price. but be mindful. they're lots of impersonator taxi "services" that paint their cars like the familiar taxis in order to fool people into giving them their money. the taxi economy is a free for all in Vietnam so you will see multitudes of self reliant drivers around. This is one of the areas where you have to be watchful because taxi related scams everywhere. though, if you simply allow yourself to follow the directive of going with the two vetted parties pointed out above you ought to be good. you should keep an observant eye on the meters price also take an almanac with you so you at least recognize where you may be going and will be able to recognize if you're being taken in a totally weird path to your final destination. utilize Motorcycle Taxis or "Xe Oms" (pronounced "say ome") a nice fun alternative option to yellow taxis are the economical and additional stirring "xe om" motorcycle taxis. These "taxis" are parked throughout Vietnam and are set to leave when you get there. They are simply just unemployed or "self-employed" blokes that work as motorbike taxis who earn their money commonly off of vacationers, but home towners use them as well. You do have to be wary of not being overcharged because of them also, but for the most part the Vietnamese are relatively honorable people only striving to make a living. you could have to do some negotiating with them on the price, but this is a totally regular thing to experience in lovely Vietnam. a standard price for a xe om ("xe" means "vehicle" or "auto" and "om" means "hug"; so the true is close to 12,000 dong a mile. the rate of exchange is in the region of 20,000d/$1 but fluctuates on a regular basis. when I got to Vietnam in 2007 the exchange rate was 16,000d/$1 and has unhurriedly gone up to around 20,000-21,000d/$1 in 2012/13. an average price for a taxi may be around 24,000-30,000d/mile so it's a little cheaper to go by xe om, especially if you're riding in the much of the time. The the most obvious shortcoming with getting on a xe om is that it is quite a bit added dodgy driving through the city with some random guy, having no real idea where you are going. although, I cannot seem to remember having any actual problems traveling along with a motorbike taxi during the first few months that I was in the country of Vietnam when I trekked this way almost exclusively.
