Spa Treatments

Love indulging in relaxing spa treatments? My friend, you have come to the perfect place.

There are an abundance of spa hotels in Vietnam and the prices of treatments are dirt cheap. So cheap, you can have a spa treatment every day.

Harmony Saigon Hotel & Spa is my favourite go-to destination. You’re greeted by a refreshing freshly squeezed juice after your treatment. I made a daily appointment and it was bliss!


Shopping

Vietnam is one of the budget shopping capitals of the world. Quality of goods is better here than in other Asian countries. Just keep an eye out for fake items.
