Is it easy to go Pham Ngu Lao Street from airport? I'll stay in Liberty 3 hotel.
It only takes an hour or less to walk there. I could find the roads for you on Google Maps. I live at the Saigon Backpacking Hostel on Pham Ngu Lao. I peddle my mountain bicycle to the different districts in Saigon teaching English. I don't have a motor bike. I do not recommend spending tons of money. I bought my $100 USD bike in district 4 like 3 weeks ago but it got a flat tired this week and last week. Had it fixed twice for apx 10.000 VND.
Liberty is expensive. It is close to my hostel. there will be tons of motor-bikes and taxis to choose from at the airport. Go with the cheapest option. Just throw some money at them and if they take your money then hop on or hop in and once you get there, say "Thank you" and walk away and do not give them more money, even if they beg for more money.
The bus is around 5.000 - 10.000 VND for a ride. A Motor Bike Ride is around 10.000 - 100.000 VND and taxi is sometimes more expensive than the motor bikes and sometimes cheaper. I would rather just walk or find my own bike.
How much is Liberty per night?
My hostel is $6 USD per night.

A taxi is more like 200,000VND and would take about 20-30 minutes. The bus is obviously cheaper and would take you to Ben Thanh market which would be a 10-15 min walk to Pham Ngu Lao. If you take a taxi, go for a Vinasun or Mai Linh one and/or you might want to walk across to the departure terminal for less chance of being scammed (sadly that does happen with some companies).
I have walked from the airport to the backpacking area. People who know how to hike know how to walk a little. It is bunch harder to walk around with sandles, slippers, without socks.
Hand the taxi, bike, or bus the address to Liberty and other places you may go. Give them money before you hop on and don't compromise with the price.

Stay at a hotel in a different district to save money. The airport is close to the Go Vap District where many things are much cheaper over there. You can still eat well and have fun over there.
