Cost of living by doack
Hi, I'm looking for an idea of the cost of living modestly for an abstaining single senior male in the Da Nang area. Thanks :)
Thanks for that...would you say that street or market dining would be a good second to actually cooking my own grub, as far as cost is concerned, as opposed to eating in restaurants? I can't get very excited about cooking every day . Read More

Thanks for that. I am pretty much a coastal guy, so it's hard to imagine living too far from the beach. Do you have any insight into such a place, with the toned down atmosphere I seem to need? Thanks Read More

Thanks again for the info. $350 US a month would be at the real upper end for me for accomodation. It sounds like you have a point in that the "outer limits" of the cities might be too foreign for a Canadian. I only stayed at guest ... Read More

Thanks for that. I was in Saigon a cple years ago, and found it too expensive (as well as too big and too busy). I thought that being further away from the big centres would offer lower prices along with a simpler lifestyle. Maybe moving further ... Read More

Kenneth Coffing - expat living in Saigon District 8 by Kennethc
Over six years ago I came to Vietnam visiting DaNang. Being from Ocean area of Florida DaNang appealed to me very much with the fresh sea air, beautiful cloud formations with added features like 3 mountain ranges in DaNang IE: Monkey Mountain, ...
Thanks for the reassuring info... My first choice would be to find a smaller and QUIETER place away from all the tourist meccas but close to the ocean, where I could observe nature in an unhurried manner, I would hate to get sick and have to rely ... Read More

Thanks for your quick reply! After researching these places, it seems inconceivable to me that I could live on $1,000 CAD at any of them. Do you know something that isn't apparent to the remote researcher? Read More

Does anybody have any current information about living in a smaller city near the coast, where it would be conceivably cheaper. I will be retiring soon on a paltry $1,000 CAD a month. Any information will be most highly prized. Read More
