Cost of living in Vietnam

By comparison with other large South East Asia countries, people in Vietnam are overall relatively poor. In 2017 the average monthly wage in Thailand is estimated to be around $438 USD (13,877 THB) whilst in Vietnam it was approximately half that at $236 USD (5,364,000 VND). If you live like a local in Vietnam you can live very cheaply, however, few foreign visitors to Vietnam would live like a local or indeed be able to buy things as cheaply as a local.
