mariokluser Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Lately I’m pondering about going to Ho Chi Minh City for a while. As I don’t want to stop working (2 or 3 hours a day) I would like to know if any of you guys know how the quality and availability of Internet connections is in Vietnam.

cyaxrex Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I lived in Thailand for a while yonks ago and there was easy availability of high-speed Internet in urban areas. The main problems that I experienced stemmed from it being very difficult to be open an account in your own name and have your own service. A way around this is to use mobile dongles and the like, however these can be crippling expensive depending on how much data you use.Also, I know that Thailand is very different to Vietnam and other South East Asia countries, however, I have spent a lot of time recently researching things associated with possible similar moves. That said, Ho Chi Minh does apparently have a booming digital nomad community. In this case, it might be worth looking around a few drop shipping and digital nomad forums for more precise info.One thing I do know, is that most modern apartment buildings do provide wifi for residents and there is great public wifi in all main tourist and traveller destinations.

I want to stay at a hotel and all I need it for is submitting some documents to my clients.The rest of the time I want to do some sight seeing and hang out in bars the whole day.
