Ho Chi Minh City

개요

Officially Ho Chi Minh City, still Saigon to almost everyone who lives there, Vietnam's southern metropolis runs on commerce, coffee and motorbikes. District 1 holds the French colonial landmarks and the war museums; District 3's tree-lined streets hide the cafes; Thao Dien across the river is where the expat and nomad population settles into villas and towers. It is hotter, louder and more ambitious than Hanoi, and its food scene, from banh mi carts to the rooftop restaurants of Nguyen Hue, is a serious rival.

방문해야 하는 이유

For energy and opportunity: Vietnam's business capital has the best job market for English teachers and remote-work infrastructure in the country, plus the Mekong Delta and the southern beaches on its doorstep.

실용 정보

안전

Generally safe; phone and bag snatching from motorbikes is the real risk, especially in Districts 1 and 3. Keep phones off the kerb side. Bui Vien at night has drink-spiking and pickpocket problems.

흔한 사기 수법

Cyclo and motorbike-taxi overcharging (use Grab), rigged taxi meters (Vinasun and Mai Linh are reliable), coconut-seller photo set-ups, and shoe-cleaning 'repairs'.

인터넷 연결 및 원격 근무

Fast fibre and 5G; coworking at Dreamplex, Toong, Circo, WeWork and the cafes of Thao Dien and District 3.

Vietnam's start-up and remote-work capital with the largest coworking scene in the country and a big expat population in Thao Dien. English teaching pays well by local standards; nomads value the visa simplicity and the cost.
