The article wrote: “In southern Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City offers the bustle of a vibrant city without the high price tag you might find in the US.”
A total of 77 percent of surveyed expats in the city said they were satisfied with their finances. The rate for Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur and Thailand’s Bangkok, which came second and third on the list, were 73 and 63 percent, respectively.
The article said typical rent for a one-bedroom apartment and monthly costs (other than rent) for one person in the city were 560.86 and 462.62 USD, respectively. Meanwhile, in the US, an average one-bedroom apartment rents for about 1,600 USD per month./.
