Vietnam Day 10 : Hoi An Ancient Town - Money exchange in Hoi An - Hoi An Night Market

Today we just walked around the Hoi An Ancient Town. We didn't bought any ticket when we entered the ancient town as we walked in through the small alley. We were aware there is ticket which cost VND120k/adult. This ticket include the visiting the attraction place in the Hoi An. Since we were not interested about the interior of the building, we decided not to buy the ticket.

After lunch, we wanted to change some money as we were run out of VND soon. We asked every bank around the Hoi An Ancient Town. There is none of the bank accept the MYR. Then we can only changed at the gold shop. We asked almost all the gold shops near the Hoi An Market. We didn't changed the MYR to VND as the rate is not good since MYR is getting strong recently. The highest exchange rate that we asked is 5200VND/1MYR compared to the XE.com rate is 5500VND/1MYR. However, we changed with TWD as the rate is 740VND/1TWD. This rate is so good compared to the XE.com which is 755VND/1TWD!

After that, we were walking around for photos and shopped for some souvenirs. Then, we went to the Hoi An Night Market. This market stalls sell a lot of similar thing like banana pancake and grilled rice papar only. There is a lot of souvenir shops and 3D card stalls. We bought some 3D cards as it was so cheap that small one cost only VND20k and large one cost VND40k which cannot be found in any other place.
