Has anyone actually declared money on arrival in Vietnam

I'm coming into Vietnam with a little bit over 7000 USD in various currencies and was wondering if it's a good idea to declare it so that I can then deposit it in a bank and take it out without fear if it being stuck in VN if I want to leave again.

Has anyone ever tried declaring money to get evidence of it on entry and have people ended up having to line the pockets of some customs official.

I've also heard they don't give you a landing card anymore so I can't just write it on that. Does that mean I have to go through the red channel etc.

Drinks - Ordered 2.4 Mill VND for Chivas 12 yo will waive ktv room charge(700k I believe) and fruits.

Hostess charge is 700k (charged on ktv bill) + 500k tips (100/150USD for ST/LT) No need to pay 500k tips if taken out for ST/LT

Bro thx for the info. Need to book in advance or can just walk in. Easy to get rooms on weekdays ? And what's the ST/LT rate? Gng down mid Jun

Just came back from my Virgin Trip to HCM and HANOI.
I could not find any Barber Shop despite searching with a Taxi,
In the end decides to just visit Spas as recommended by bros here.
HCM I visited Fortune, great ambience and girl is SYT. Went for 2hrs package that include HOT stone, milk bathe, herbal steam and solid massage.
I hv to say this is the Best I have experience compared to BKK,pattaya,Manila,HKG, JKT and even Silver Spa in CP (which was my prev best). DAMAGE is 500k and 500k tips for Extras.
At Hanoii tried Kingston and was equally gd. Final night I tried KTV at Hanoi Hotel but not as gd and fun as in Taipei.
My conclusion, massage go to Hanoi/HCM
KTV go to Taipei for Great Fun!!!!

VND is pegged to USD. So when USD goes up SGD will drop against VND. Yesterday and this weekend 16600 sounds right.
