one month as a saigon digital nomad: honest notes

Just wrapped a month here, mostly working US hours from Saigon.

Coworking spaces are all over D1, D3 and Thao Dien. I ended up using cafes most days though, wifi is usually solid.

Power outlets are hit or miss in cafes. Bring a small power bank.

Stayed in a serviced apartment in Thao Dien for the month. Quieter than D1, lots of other remote workers.

Overall would 100% come back as a saigon digital nomad. Just plan around the afternoon rain.

    fine from the apartment. cafes close too early for that so plan to be home

    EU time is honestly easier here than US time, you get afternoons/evenings overlap

    +1 on the power bank, the outlet seats always go first
