Dang, I've heard a lot of good things about Vietnam, but that takes the cake!
Unfortunately for Macro photography the kit lenses aren't going to cut it. Now full disclosure I use Nikon and not Canon, so I haven't used this lens, but the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro STM lens looks like a solid choice for 1:2 magnification at a super reasonable price. If you have the option you could rent some equipment and see what works best for you.
Thanks. After checking, I don't think it's much of a difference in price across regions/countries, as it seems to be still about 600-650usd for the body with the basic kit lens in most shops.
I think the one who told you that it won’t fit into your budget meant a the body + a good macro lens
You can’t very close up pictures with the kit lens
