Why not check it out online at agoda.com or many other sites that specialize in accommodation.

Also check out just type in the city or place you want and this will give you an idea of costs etc.

There is a cheap hotel close to the water front called Kim Long Hotel. The owner's name is Trung, he is a good guy. I lived there for 3 months when I first arrived in CanTho, I think I was paying $10-14 a night. Clean, hot water, aircon, fast internet... no complaints

Good luck!

As of July 2011, a foreigner friend stayed in a hotel near my house paid 1.500.000 VND/month ~ 70USD. Now I don't know how much it will be. There is a law that all the foreigners can't stay in a boarding house, hostel, unless they have a working permitt.

Can you or someone else please expound on this? I've never heard of that...are you saying your friend was only able to stay there because he was working or that the law didn't apply because it was a hotel? 1.5 million is dirt cheap...I asked around a few hotels in a nearby city (Tra Vinh) and didn't find anything even remotely close to that price, in fact the hotels I spoke to didn't offer any kind of weekly or monthly rate. Some said they'd be willing to knock a couple of dollars off of the daily rate or pay for 6 days get one free...the daily rates were 210k (extremely small room with single bed, I stayed in it for 1 night only) to 300k+.

And obviously never invite people back to your house to return the invitation?聽 ( Khanh, that's an unusual name for a Frenchman? ),

Even eating at home in VN, I couldn't spend only $50 a month. That's too little, almost like survival mode. I would look like a toothpick. Not a pretty site either.

How much would you say you would spend on food in a month then?

If you are (living) in VN then ask the locals and expats if possible. Keep in mind their budgets ,lifestyles, and localities are going to be major factors in your decision . My situation is different because I only stay in Vietnam for 3 months out of a year at my family vacation home in the country. I didn't have a budget for food, because all the money I brought was disposable income. I ate and drank several times a day and anything that I wanted. Of course, when I traveled or stayed at high end hotels the cost went up exponentially.

That's what it's been like for me, I'm at my grandmother's villa in the country, and the food and drinks have been plentiful and of course free, however I haven't been able to travel very much, only a few times to the city, and once to a church my aunt wanted to see, but I think that might be a bit different than grocery shopping. I've heard some people say they live off $50 a month total after rent of course, which to me seems a bit drastic.
