Top 5 Best Tips To Travel To The Mekong Delta On A Budget

Travelling to explore places is the thing that every young person has ever dreamed of. The Mekong Delta has been an ideal destination that attracts these guys so much. However, the prices have been a big deal because one would more easily waste a lot of money if not calculated beforehand. Reading some of the tips featured in this article would definitely help, and your trip to Vietnam in general and trip to the Mekong Delta in particular will be worthwhile.

 

Plan To The Details On Your Trip

Spending some time with friends planning your trip is a must. Make a list of places you would want to visit, and thus you won't waste any time coming back to the area you have passed but not yet visited.

Nowadays, a smartphone is almost a must for everyone, so you must have Google Maps, right? Use it.

 

Don't Buy Things You Don't Need

Good Vietnamese food and specialties abound in the Mekong Delta; however, there still exist shops that ballooned their prices to tourists, especially foreign ones.

Be wise when shopping; check the products carefully before buying. And remember, just buy things you need; don't buy anything just because the sellers tout it to the sky.

 

Only Buy A Sufficient Amount Of Specialty

Fruits, specialties, and many traditional products are flooding the Mekong Delta market. Tourists are usually overwhelmed by the diversity of those in here. Therefore, they tend to buy too much because the prices are so cheap.

Remember, just buy as you need.

 

Stay In Homestay Rather Than Hotels

Many Mekong Delta visitors prefer homestays rather than hotels to save money. Furthermore, staying in homestays helps you save money and other expenses and even helps you learn more about the life of the locals.

We hope that with the tips presented above, your Vietnam tour experience will be unforgettable.
