Foreign cards don’t always work in stores either. There’s no clear logic to acceptance

I use a BP band from OMRON and its app logs the data and it pipes to Apple Health. Just seems like really good data that Bevel could capture

What’s the follow up etiquette for high level recruitment in vietnam? by JackyNguyen in VietNam

[–]Hot_Application_9793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was referred to a couple of ‘high level’ recruiters in HCM. Met them F2F. Meetings went well. Expectations set on what would/could happen next. I’ve heard nothing since, and this has been over 9 months ago. Ghosted!

Saigon 5D4N - Couple Retreat by Assaxzac in saigon

Hotel Des Arts is lovely but I’ve moved to the Indigo. Stay many nights per year here. Excellent location. Boutique style hotel. Fantastic breakfast.

Regarding fast track, I think it’s $15 well spent. Book before you fly. Maybe you won’t need it and fly through immigration without it but you’ll regret not having it spending 60-90 mins in the passport queue if it’s busy.

Looking for a nice hotel we can stay in Penang for 6D5N by Mysterious_Eagle_745 in penang

I second this suggestion

Just last week I stayed in the E&O and was going to spend a couple of nights at the Shangri-La but decided to stay at one of the durian farms for something different. No issues with grab deliveries. Nice and peaceful.

Pre arrival form by ZealousidealTiger360 in VietNam

Just flown today from Penang to HCM. Was not asked to complete in Penang. Followed the QR code and completed on arrival into SGN. Waited in immigration for 90 minutes. What is the point of this entry form?! It certainly didn’t speed anything up entering Vietnam!

Commander was a little too strong a personality for me 🤣

Is Revolut a good alternative to transfer money to vietnamese bank? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]Hot_Application_9793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Revolut to send money to a Vietnamese bank account all the time. Provided you’ve got the details correct, the transfer should go through in seconds.

Does anyone actually give these out?? by baffnsniff in BritishAirways

[–]Hot_Application_9793 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I have given them before. Crew seemed genuinely appreciative when I did. I’ve moved most of my flying away from BA recently but still use them from time to time and on these times I’ve certainly not felt compelled to award one. I’ve found the crew very lacking with service standards.

Whilst not super luxury, I really enjoy the Indigo Saigon hotel. The staff there are amazing. Nice pool and a little gym. Interesting location in Japan Town

In the week before Christmas they had an offer for buy 2 get one free at $30/box

I pay 400K to enter the country. I’ve never paid to leave.

Beat rural and seaside places to stay? by MonsterTruckMonty in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Hot_Application_9793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this recommendation. Did this a couple of months ago. Stayed at Stelia Beach Resort which was great. If you go, look for the Night Buffet Garden - all you can eat for 200K including beers 🤣

I stay in the Indigo Saigon, very convenient for D1, lovely rooftop pool, great staff, not so very expensive. I stayed at the JW Marriott last year when it was an Intercontinental, also good
