Is it a bargain, or a massive flex? Today on Unpacked.AM, we’re breaking down Isaiah Ashley’s recent “Self-Care Day” in Ho Chi Minh City to see how far $100 USD actually goes. From $19 dental cleanings to $4 fresh fades, we look at the satirical reality of the “Expat Lifestyle.”
We’re tallying every “flex” to see how American spending habits in Vietnam compare to the local economy. Is spending more in one afternoon than a local earns in a week just “getting a deal,” or is it something else? Join us as we unpack the luxury, the cost, and the controversy.

Many expats talk about how cheap and affordable countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia are. But is this just a travel video hype, or can you really live like a king on a budget when living abroad? We compare what one influencer calls a challenge to the reality of cost comparisons in these popular travel destinations.
We highly recommend watching his full adventure first to get the full context of our review! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to Unpacked for more deep dives into travel culture!
