Cheapest transport from Vietnam International airport to Ho Chi Minh City Ben Thanh Market

We arrived at Vietnam Tan Son Nhat International Airport (2018). I got myself a sim card for mobile data network which cost 200k Dong or USD 9 unlimited data usage. At least one should get so more convenient to check for location. The rest can shared the network using hotspot service.

*Tips: Have you heard of people saying we could get better currency exchange rate 
at Vietnam airport? Yes indeed. I double confirmed for you. 
After you checked out inside the airport, just before you exit down the escalator (above)

(Updated Mar2023) This currency exchange still there but have found one with a better rate in District one HCMC. Where? Read through and you will find out :) 


Exit from airport (above), turn right about 2 mins.

You will see these two colors Saigon shuttle bus. I took green which cost just 5000 dong.
Yellow cost 20,000 dong. Both with air-con. So i don't know why price different. 
Drop down at Ben Thanh Market (30mins away). There were many hotels near this market. You
could always check Google Map.

(Updated Mar2023) Not much changed at the airport. Hop on to the bus colour bus and the price was VND5000. It's at same spot, so without looking at the number, I asked the lady conductor going to "Ben Thanh Market" and there we go!


Burger King was just beside and that was my breakfast.


Proof of 500 Dong bus ticket

(Updated Mar2023) The blue bus ticket 


(Updated Mar2023) If you understand, this on the blue bus and should be the route.


Shuttle bus moved to near by domestic airport about 3 mins drive away (above)
If you want take Taxi, should go for trusted "Mai Linh" or "Vinasun" company.
Or can even get Grab taxi which price will be make known.
