Thanks for the tip on the taxis we land at 06.00 on a sunday so wont be in any rush to get to hotel so will probably change some money and get a taxi we are staying in district 1.

If you want to use the bus, look across the road and slightly right as you exit the airport building. You want the yellow bus, stay on it until the bus station at the end of it's journey and you'll be in District 1, about 100 yards from Bui Vien. The bus costs 60 or 80 thousand I think (can't remember exactly).

Hong kong now off Air Asia have cancelled flight from Hong kong to bangkok so going to stay abit longer in ho chi min and booked a flight to bangkok for £50.

Oh well, that may be a blessing in disguise. Save Hong Kong for another time and it gives you more time in Saigon. Maybe look at an overnight trip down the Mekong Delta.

False economy if there's more than one of you.

Just checked again and it'll need 8 of you in the taxi to make it the better deal!

Vinasun taxi was 150,000 and yellow bus (last month) was 20,000.

Exciting! Can you let me know if certain places are closed in HCMC. There has been talk that they may do this with the Corona. Hope not!

Everything is open as far as we can see majority of Asian people got masks on all hotel staff wearing them . If you don't have any there are plenty here here for sale. Got what I thought was a vinasun taxi turns out it was a vin vinataxi  wanted 400.000 after arguing settled for 250.000  lesson learned. Absolutely crazy on roads motorcycles a law to themselves got to have eyes in the back of your head. Enjoying it so far.
