Hoi An Price Guide 2024 | Transportation, Activities, Tickets

One of the most frequent questions in my emails is about the costs for custom clothing, scooter rentals, etc. Therefore, I’ve decided to write a summary article to answer these questions.

In Vietnam, it’s well known that there often are two price lists: one for locals and another for tourists, which some expatriates refer to as the “White Tax”. The concept is self-explanatory.

Negotiation is essential if you don’t want to overpay. It’s rare to see prices displayed, especially in souvenir shops.

Even after living here for a while, it’s rare, if not impossible in some places, to get the local price.

In this article, I will provide you with the prices practiced in Hoi An. Note that in cities like Saigon or Hanoi, the prices might be slightly higher.

If a price is missing, ask for it in the comments, and I will add it.
