Vietnam Travel | 13 Practical Tips ❗
I spent a week lounging comfortably in Vietnam and fell deeply in love with the place, feeling even more relaxed and casual than Thailand! 💓 The cultural charm of Hanoi, the coastal flavor of Da Nang, the lantern sea of Hoi An, and the coconut groves of Nha Trang~It's simply amazing! 🌴 If you haven't been to Vietnam yet, I highly recommend you go at least once!! 🌟 Here are 13 practical tips for you, so make sure to save them~ Vietnam has few traffic lights 🚦, even on main roads with lots of vehicles. Traffic lights are often just for show, so be cautious when walking! ⚠️ Bring a power bank 🔋 when you go out, as it's not like back home where you can rent one everywhere! It's best not to smoke 🚬 in public places in Vietnam. If you must smoke, ask those around if they're okay with it first. 🤔 Pay attention to sun protection ☀️ in Vietnam. Wear a hat 🧢, ice sleeves 🧤, and sunscreen 🧴. The UV rays here are not to be trifled with! Vietnam is not a tipping country 💰. Tip if you feel like it, but demanding tips is unreasonable. 🚫 Many people in Vietnam can understand some Chinese 🇨🇳, but be mindful of your manners when speaking. 🗣️ You don't need to bring too many clothes 👗 to Vietnam. Clothes are cheap at markets and other places, so just buy what you need when you're there. 🛍️ You can exchange currency 💸 in many places, just keep an eye on the exchange rates. 📈 When visiting temples to pray 🙏, remember to dress appropriately. You can ask about dress code requirements in advance. 👗 For food delivery, taxi, or ride-hailing, use Grab 🚗. You can choose a female driver or a ladies-only car 🚕, and use Google Maps 🗺️ for navigation. You can buy a local SIM card online in advance 📱. Just swap it in when you get off the plane for convenience. 🚀 Be cautious when drinking from street stalls 🥤, as the cups might be dirty and could lead to upset stomachs. 😷 Some hotels in Vietnam do not allow durian or mangosteen 🍉 in their premises, so communicate this beforehand! 🍊 #TravelAbroad #WhereToGoForVacation #SoutheastAsiaTravelGuide #VietnamTravel #VisaOnArrival
