Cost of Living in Ho Chi Minh City for Filipinos

Hello. I would like to know if someone could provide me some details about the cost of living in Ho Chi Minh City for a month so I would know my budget when I get there next month while looking for a teaching job. I will be traveling with my husband and we will be on a tight budget. :-)
Hoping for feedback.

Hi Aisle!

A Filipina here.

Your budget depends on the district where you will be staying. House, room, condo rents vary in the different districts of HCM. My family lives in one of the low cost districts of HCM ( but very accessible to transportation). A two bedroom condo costs only 200-250 USD a month, some rooms In shared condos, rooms would cost only 100-15 USD per month. Food is much cheaper n this district too.

Should you have further queries, don't hesitate to msg.me kababayan.

Hope this info would be helpful to you.

Hi Shella!

I am happy to know that the cost of room accommodation in HCMC is not that high. Which district are you currently staying at? I hope me and my husband could get a room for the two of us with a lesser rate and in a safe location.

Thanks,

Aisle
