These days, a video is going viral on social media where people are telling that which is the country in the world where the value of Indian Rupee becomes so high that as soon as you reach there, you start feeling rich. Yes, we are talking about Vietnam, where as per the current exchange rate, 1 Indian Rupee is equal to around 290-295 Vietnamese Dong. That means, when your 10 rupees are changed there, it becomes approximately 3000 dong.
Every Indian tourist feels like a millionaire after seeing lots of high denomination notes in his hand. The currency of Vietnam is Vietnamese Dong (VND) and the picture of Father of the Nation Ho Chi Minh is printed on its notes. The largest notes are of 500,000 dong, which is equivalent to only Rs 1700-1800 in Indian rupees. But when you exchange, millions of dongs come into your pocket, which looks very funny.
feel like rich
Indian tourists often share their photos on social media where they are smiling while holding lots of dong notes. But this is not just a numbers game. Things are really cheap in Vietnam. A plate of famous pho soup (noodle soup) is available for only 30,000-50,000 dong, which is 100-170 rupees. Street food, coffee and local transport are very affordable. A luxury cruise on Ha Long Bay, which would cost thousands of rupees in India, can be done in budget there. Hotels, spas and shopping in cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hoi An seem like heaven for Indians. In the last few years, Vietnam has become the top destination for Indian tourists. The reason for this is easy visa (e-Visa or visa on arrival), cheap flights and strong rupee value.

The exchange rate here is stable even in 2025, where 1 INR = approximately 292 VND. Although rates change daily, Vietnam has always been cheap for Indians. According to the statistics of the Tourism Department, every year lakhs of Indians come to visit Vietnam. The beauty of Vietnam is also amazing. UNESCO World Heritage Site Ha Long Bay is mesmerizing with its blue waters, thousands of islands and caves. Hanoi’s old streets, street food markets and Ho Chi Minh’s vibrant night life are quite captivating. People like to take river trips to the Mekong Delta in the south and relax on the beaches.
