The difference in timing is only 1 hr.. so if its 6pm in SG, its 5pm in HCM..
I also do this.. change SGD50 1st.. then go down to Ben Thanh market to change at the gold shop.. usual practice for me till now not much prob.. however, seeing you have a gf there.. you can ask her come to the airport to fetch you then you dun even have to change the SGD50 cos she sure will have some VND on her ma..
Most hotels will accept USD, SGD or VND (for Singaporeans' context).. But the exchange rate is damn bad.. MY practice is to change USD in singapore and pay the hotel in USD there.. for eg, if you stay at a hotel for 3days @ USD30 a day, go to parkway to change USD 90..
Just my VND200 of experience..
