Treat VND 35000 as the ceiling for a fair price in Ho Chi Minh City, with VND 27500 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at VND 80000 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
For context inside Ho Chi Minh City itself: of the 14 things we price here, laundry carries the widest visitor markup (VND 15000–30000 locally against VND 50000–100000), while grab motorbike ride is priced most consistently across the city. Vietnamese Coffee sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
