# City Pricing Research - Wave 25 (2026-08-14)

## Can Tho, Vietnam - beta candidate

- Budget Your Trip's current city page, updated May 22, 2026, reports actual-hotel low/peak room averages of USD 26/49 and warns that limited public transport may require a tour or driver.
- Solo Guides provides current local-transport context of VND 50,000-100,000 daily but its daily low budget includes a dorm and must not become the private-room baseline.
- **Status: beta candidate.** Use the actual-hotel figures with a modest solo transport / floating-market-tour buffer. Do not build a dorm-based total.

## Vung Tau, Vietnam - one source away

- HikersBay, updated July 30, 2026, gives current solo accommodation spread, but its low level is a hostel and no reliable private-room component figure surfaced in this pass.
- Current local guides show food/tour spending context but need translation and component validation.
- **Status: one source away.**

## Khon Kaen, Thailand - beta candidate

- ThailandAddict's July 2026 guide gives Stay THB 300-600, Food THB 200-300, and Transport + sights THB 150-250 for a low/standard pattern.
- Listingal confirms a solo traveler pays the full THB 900 room cost and warns that ride-hailing can materially raise daily spend.
- **Status: beta candidate.** The planner should show local songthaew versus Grab/taxi choice transparently.

## Udon Thani, Thailand - research in progress

- The returned search did not provide adequate current city-specific private-room, food, transport, and activity components. General Thailand guidance is not enough.
- **Status: research in progress.**
