This holiday is near the top of my wish list. Please write a review when you get home.
Thanks for this info been a bit of a headache working out which currency to take for Vietnam 5/11/15 think I shall take the bulk of my money in dollars with just a small amount of Dong, see you in the Sky Lounge nyc0301

This is very helpful. Thank you!
Hi nyc0301,

The unit of currency in Vietnam is the Dong, however the US Dollar is the most favoured foreign currency. When you exchange your money you’ll need to produce a copy of your passport so it’s important to bring a photocopy of your passport with you. Once your money has been exchanged you’ll receive a receipt. Keep this with you in case you need to change money back before you leave any of the countries.

The unit of currency in Cambodia is the Riel. Again, we recommend that you take your spending money in US Dollars cash in small denominations. Please do not change your US Dollars in to local Currency, as Cambodia is primarily a cash based economy

Please note that banks will only accept notes in perfect condition. The smallest tear or defacement will result in your cash being refused. UK visitors should note that Scottish or Northern Ireland bank notes are NOT accepted.

I hope this helps.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Does anyone have advice about what currencies to take to these countries? I have read that: USD is best for both; dong for Vietnam; USD for Cambodia - advice based on recent experience would be great! Thanks! ( Depart on 05.11.15).
