- In this video, I review how much the cost of living is in Da Nang, Vietnam and I share my actual expenses for May 2024!
From rent to beer I reveal the actual cost of living here in Da Nang, even with excess spending, Da Nang is an inexpensive place to live.
Compare the cost of living in Vietnam with the cost of living in Thailand or the cost of living in the Philippines.

Good video.
It is good to hear from someone who breaks it down and is honest about the costs.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Custom fit sandals! that's awesome! Vietnam is the land of being pampered. You might want to add a weekly massage to your schedule. I used to get a massage every week back in 2006 for $20. Two ladies would give me a massage for an hour. It was a legit massage and no happy ending but boy did I feel relaxed.
I have been considering this! I have never had a message by a stranger in my life. I’m just not a touchy feely type. Not sure how I could deal with even two strange women touching me unless it was all about happy ending. Then at least I have purpose!! 😜
@@ExpatInterview get a face massage instead. Btw $34 for a pair of sandals is too much.
That’s a good budget. Thanks for the info. It is very useful.
Up the coast in Vietnam you find great beaches, great landscapes and very affordable places.
Thanks for watching! My plan is to return to Vietnam for a couple more 90 day visas in the future to explore more areas.
Wow, great video. I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm 8 or 9 years from retirement if all goes as planned, but I can't wait to visit as many places in SE Asia as possible.
Nice sandals, by the way! It's incredible that you had them custom-made for that price. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you! I look forward to you following me through Southeast Asia and providing you with as much information as I can.

Not a bad budget for Danang for a month. I just returned to Thailand where I live, after a month in Danang. Especially not bad when you are not really actively looking to lower cost.
Thanks for watching! I'm in Hoi An now. Prices are a little higher here. Have to see how that affects June budget.
Nice work. Great vid. Enjoy yourself. How welcoming were the locals?
For the most part the locals a nice and kind. Thanks for watching!!
Those are nice custom sandals !
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Got burned by airbnb too. Rented place and it was not like photos showed and they would not refund me. Hot water was boiling. Electric gate did not work. Elevator was out on 7th floor
Thanks for watching. Yes, Airbnb rentals have been the worst part of my travels. I hope I have better luck with booking.com.
LOved your video. Concise and informative. Wonder about Marinas. I live and cruise on my 40 foot sailboat
Yes, there are marinas in the Thu Bon River here in Hoi An that runs in from the coast. I’m sure this would be true in all major cities along the Eastern Sea coast. I might caution slipping your boat during a location’s rainy season. If you would like my weather charts email me at ExpatInterview@yahoo.com and I will send them for free.
Sounds like an awesome time! Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed my video!
It’s good information having been to danang

New subscriber. Lots of good information. I would love to come visit from Hawaii where I retired in 2004. Getting rediculous here with food prices especially if you eat out. Farmers markets are a rip. Thanks for the video. I am curious ,is there alot of English. speaking locals there like in the Philippines ?
I would have to say no, to “a lot” of English speaking locals. There are “a lot” of English speaking expats though!
The other thing is they often don’t seem to understand what Google Translate comes up with either.
That being said, somehow, I haven’t considered it a big problem. Nearly all menus in restaurants are in English and it seems like I’m able to communicate what I have to.
Yes, I’m sure Hawaii is way, way more expensive than anywhere in Vietnam.
Thanks for watching!
I loved the video, and also loved Hoi an when I did a short trip about a year ago. Can I ask what type of visa are you using for VN? Also If I make it back there in a few months and you are still around, let me invite you to a dinner and a couple of beers . Cheers. Simon (Australia)
Thanks so much Simon!! And thanks for watching! I will only be here through July then off to Thailand and continued travels throughout SE Asia. I will come back to Vietnam at some point, just don’t know when!
Plenty of Ausies here though!
Thanks
No problem
You do just fine
Thank you for watching!
Brilliant
Thank you thanks for watching!
I Love Da Nang ❤
Yes, Da Nang is a great place. I was in the An Thuong neighborhood, close to the beach. Great spot!
300!!? Food?
You gotta be doing a lot of western foods.
don’t shy away from a cart and a plastic chair on the side of the road. Hahaha.
I’ve never spent that amount for a month.
(I don’t do alcohol) .
And you’ll find a good apt for mid to high 200’s month. Best of luck
Thanks for watching.
@@dalesmf4310 If you eat like a local, you could spend 120 to 150 easily Not 300
Mate can I ask why you left florida for Asia? I've always wanted to visit florida if not settle there from the UK, I'm currently in Thailand. Do you rent your florida home on airbnb?
Hi, and first, thanks for watching! Why I left Florida?!! Well, several reasons, starting with the cost of living. In the recent years since COVID prices have escalated drastically! The home I was renting for $875 p/mo. went up to $1,650. Once I retired it was just not affordable to me anymore, and I wasn't going to keep working just to live in Florida. Secondly, Have been planning for 10 years to leave the US when I retired and I've gotten so tired of the political landscape in the entire US that I got to the point that I just didn't want to live anywhere in the country. Hate, has consumed America. If I were you, I would stay in Thailand.
love this im watching in chicago live in florada very helpful do u do consulting
You’re welcome to email me at ExpatInterview@yahoo.com and explain what you’re looking for.

@@ExpatInterview i was just telling my frend in chicago about your video florada is geting to expensive love to meet u in vietnam in person im in arazona 6 months a year its cheaper than florada but no ocean
@@patrickprendergast9589 I’m only in Vietnam through the end of July and then I’m continuing my travels through SE Asia. Pretty sure my next destination is Thailand.
@@ExpatInterview whill u sample a lott of countrys and decide did u leave florada permonintly to move to asia
I plan to visit Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and maybe Cambodia and Laos. I left Florida because I'm just not happy with the US any longer. Too much hate and inflation.
I don't know if I will settle here or begin travels next in the Visa Free/Exempt countries of the Caribbean, Central and northern South America. Time will tell. Depends on to many factors like my health, age and factors that I may not even be considering at this point.
Thank you very much for this informative video, especially about the travel insurance company.
First, I will research them for my upcoming 90- day extended vacation.
Second, could you share with me, step by step, your e-visa process?
I am based in southern California.

nice sandal's
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Back in 2001 I called a tailor in Los Angeles to get some custom made shirts and the price was 200 USD per shirt.
I asked him why is it so expensive and he told me: well keep in mind that we deliver the shirts to you in a box with silk paper.
Then I asked him ok so how much if I go to pick up the shirts myself, he was quiet.
lol! Funny how that works isn’t it! I m planning to visit a tailor here in Hoi An. Watch for the video!!
Thanks for watching!!
I had beautiful pants and shirts made in Hanoi by a tailor for $16 I am connected Might be $20 for others but that is still cheap I am 6 feet tall and 220.
@@mrbHanoi exactly in South East Asia you can get custom made clothes for cents on the dollar.
@@mrbHanoi I JUST got here from the tailor!! Having a shirt made, just starting with one. I added expandable front pockets each side $27US for one shirt! I’ll try to get the down to $20 each if I buy 3.
Thanks for your input and watching my channel!
@@ExpatInterview my pants are high grade wool and my shirts are linen 20 to 30 is reasonable. U have to bargain in Vietnam if not connected If connected I just pay whatever they want and tip 10%.
Thank you sir for sharing. One add, what if you had an emergency medical situation, what is the medical setup there for immediate care.
I am coming there in January for a five day trip. Would love your feedback as someone who is actually living the local life. Love seafood, beaches, and cultural events.
Can you please share three or four things that I must do in that short time and three or four to AVOID.
Stay healthy and safe.
Thanks for watching! I too am only passing through, only here for a short time. As far as medical or any other type of emergency contacts I suggest a Google search for “emergency numbers for English speakers in (city) Vietnam”. This will return a list of all types of phone numbers.
I highly recommend UHCSafetrip.com for travel/medical coverage.
As far as things to see, I can recommend that you look on booking sites and review excursions that you may like and enjoy for the areas that you are in because we all enjoy different types of things.
My channel doesn’t focus on travel activities, I’m more into the way of life and costs associated with living in different parts of the world with current concentration of SE Asia.
I can recommend one of my favorite fellow CZcamsrs who channel is all about traveling and great places to see and he has a complete series dedicated to Vietnam, Paddy Doyle!
The one place I recommend if you get up toward Hanoi is the Ha Giang Loop. Paddy has an awesome video on it!
Hope this helps!
I typically used AirBnB as my stays were limited to 90 days. Can you get a non-AirBnB deal for stays 30-90 days only?
Yes, you can get short-term deals on your own, although it is much more difficult. I will be doing another interview in the next few weeks with two different gentlemen who I believe are going to shed light on that topic. So keep coming soon with information for you. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I may go to Viet Nam in 2928/ Thanks.
You mean 2028?!🤣 seriously, you won’t be disappointed! But the good news is that you’re planning ahead and will be able to continue watching my videos and learning about the other places I travel to!
Signed, Your guinea pig.
Just curious. What was the problem with Airbnb? I'm heading to Da Nang in July and will visit Hoi An while there as well. Would like to know the name of the hotel you stayed at for $10. Appreciate it. Thanks for the video! Keep it up.
Please drop me an email with this question and I will address it within 24 hours.
Thanks for asking and watching!
If you’re in Hoi An isn’t it better to checkout the accommodation before booking somewhere? I buy sandels of the shelf here in Thailand, they are only around $5, very comfortable, which is great as I’am size 48/12 and last me at least 3 years 😊
Obviously I'm not in Hoi An. Your question doesn't make sense to me.
@@Paul-cg1bn Ok, I thought you were in Hoi An
@@roygoad2870 I’m a full time international traveler, i wasn’t in Hoi A when I booked through Airbnb!

Hoi An, 18 miles south of Da Nang.
Also well known for all the many inexpensive tailor shops.
Thanks for watching!
7th year in Vietnam I could reduce his rent and food and drink expense by 300 to 500 dollars and I live very well in Hanoi. But I am a long term renter and he is short term renter If you have the right job, you could have no visa expense or medical insurance expense. Sometimes transportation is provided as well as housing assistance.
Very interesting!! Would you be willing to meet for an interview?!!
Thanks for watching and providing your input!

@@mrbHanoioh ok 🤔
Can share with you someone who can probably help with health insurance for expats/digital nomads.
Please do. I’ll be looking for a new policy in August. Thank you and thanks for watching.
How did Airbnb sting you? I have been using them in the Philippines.
I prefer you email me with that question. To much to put here.

More complete than most internet budgets, but what about visa costs ? Medications ? Health
insurance ? (Travel insurance only covers accidents) I think the more comfortable budget is $2700-$3000 a month for a single individual over age 55.
Many travel insurance policies cover medical coverage as well. The policy I mentioned in the video will United Healthcare covers medical 100%. Most typical medication are $8 for a month supply. The expenses I showed are including all these expenses and still less than $1,200 p/mo. My first Vietnam video shows a medication purchase.
It would be real hard to spend $3,000 p/mo in Vietnam unless you were renting a 3 bedroom condo right on the beach and eating all western foods at restaurants every day.
Thanks for watching!
Good video. Vietnam does not have a pensioner visa. How is it then possible to stay in the country longer?
In the video link below I provide complete details in answer to your question. See and click on the chapter in description (24:52) 90 Day Visa. czcams.com/video/4zmFyJV8xAw/video.htmlfeature=shared

@@ExpatInterview Thank you, Sir.
I completely hear you about Airbnb, trust me. I had a pathological liar host add a bunch of lies about me and it has been hard to rent ever since. I don't have time to bid on 3-4 places before someone accepts me, nevermind the disgusting hosts in places like the US or France who expect you to clean the place with a toothbrush down to the last speck while still charging a fortune for cleaning. But booking sadly isn't a solution either. It really depends on the city & country. In some places, Booking has just as good or even better places at the same or less cost. In other places, booking has absolutely nothing. Literally, nothing. Or only hotels that are $3000-5000 per month. So unfortunately, I have to be pragmatic and realize Airbnb is a company I have to stay on good terms with.
First of all, thanks for watching.
I’m trying something new right now that if it works I will do, or include in a video. The problem is the place I have just booked using this system is in Thailand and I won’t be there until end of July.
Stay tuned!
orange is the new black
It’s part of his disguise to blend in the locals.
Thanks for watching! I like my orange shirt! 🤣
34 dollars for sandal is very expensive there hope that good glue so last for long time
I went into a store in Saigon and they had a pair there very similar priced at 3,000,000 dong, $118 US. I’m very happy with $34.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve traveled a lot in Vietnam ,you got robbed by 2-3 x Try to travel with a local If you don’t know anyone ask a nail lady at the salon they’ll be happy to hook you up
I went to other places and they were 50% more. But thanks for the advice and thank you for watching.
I’m fortunate to have in-laws there When ever I get a hotel room or buy anything I duck out and let my wife and sister-in-law pay for everything even though I’m an expert haggler
We are hosts and use airbnb, booking, vrbo and trip advistors. Booking is by far the WORST of them all. None of them are perfect but as time passes you'll discover how bad booking is, if you continue to use them.
Thanks for watching. So far although I’m happier with Booking my goal is to work around them all. This raises a few questions I would like to ask you.
1. As a Host would you prefer guests try to contact you directly without using the platforms, and if so would/do you offer a better rate?
2. Where is your STR?
3. You may not recall the platform models prior to the “booking” platforms but they used to be a website that owners posted their properties (an ad) on and managed all the inquiries and bookings in their own. We had booking calendars so people could look at dates that were available. The only cost to the owner was a reasonable annual cost of the ad, maybe $130 or so, I don’t really remember. Would you prefer it to return to a model like this?
Anyone have use the insurance or ever filed claim with insurance mention in this video. Thanks
I have not. Good question! However, this is another reason that I preferred this policy is because it's actually a reputable, major health Insurance provider, United Healthcare which ironically I have my Medicare Advantage plan with but that's not how I came across the travel plan.
@@ExpatInterview thank you
How much would you say you were paying for a beer in Danang
On average it's abut 45,000 dong/$175 US but there are a LOT of happy hours. Some places as low as 25,000 dong/$0.98 US during happy hour.
@@ExpatInterview thank you very cheap compared to Australian prices my husband would be very happy there 😂
The beer is pretty good too! the brand Saigon is my preference but not available everywhere, go figure! Next preferred is Huda and it's available everywhere! Thanks again for watching!!
60 cents a can at the MANY 24/7 convenience stores and most have nice tables outdoors you can sit at and people watch.

How much to fly there from the states
I used Hopper to watch flight prices and got mine for $565!! One way. Prices can get really high at times so it's best to plan ahead. I have seen the over $1,200 one way.

More interested in air quality historical data than weather
I’m sure you can find that data on the internet. Even while in Saigon I didn’t notice much air pollution issue. In both Da Nang and here in Hoi A there’s no issue Being right on the coast is a help I’m sure due to the prevailing winds off the water.
@@ExpatInterview your kidding right? I was there the whole month of April and most days you could not see the mountains because of air pollution

My God man - ? - you only spent 'that much' - w/o trying to be thrifty or frugal in any way ? -- Many are so concerned about their budgets when traveling S E Asia - obviously you did well - but longer term (?) - a visa run and visa expense will need to be added ? -- I like Cambodia - to cost about the same - if only a bit thrifty !
Thanks for watching. Yes I agree the visa runs if staying long-term would add to the expense. But averaged out I think it only had about $100 to my average monthly expenses good point.
@@ExpatInterview Sounds like a $1000 / mo. just might be easy enough with a pinch or a bit of frugal or thrifty sprinkled in your lifestyle w/o too much pain or denial ? But long term you must include the visa and travel expenses. --- I'm liking SIem Reap & was planning from the US for a $1500 budget. A few expats already there for years are telling me - a little more than half of that is actually needed for comfort ! (?) A 1 year 'retirement visa' costs $180 & you never have to leave !!! (= No 'visa runs' from Cambodia) I'm frugal and lazy. 50 cent beers there !

@@ExpatInterviewyes, they don’t pay up front. Another you tuber had to pay 4K and it took months to get paid😢
@@Thailand-mt9op actually some so pay providers directly. In fact, the policy I have through United Healthcare does direct pay.
''When I wanted a beer, I get a beer. No holding back''...dude it's 15,000vnd = 0.70$usd. LOL
Maybe if you’re buying at a store for takeout, but not at a bar or restaurant, 45,000vnd then. I don’t do takeout.
Dude, thanks for watching!!
cheaper hotel or apartment and no beer you can do $600
I think $600 would be tough in, or near any touristy areas. Maybe a few miles out of town but then transportation adds to the cost of living. I think if I gave up fun, I could get under $1,000 or maybe even $900 US.
Inexpensive for good reason, the most boring city I've ever been in with the worst climate in South east Asia
