Vietnam is a fascinating place. If you want to make the most out of your trips, you might want to consider following the tips that we have come up with especially for you.
Be careful with your notes. If you don’t, then you might end up getting tricked. The 10,000 and 100,000 notes look the same and so do the 500,000 and 20,000 notes. A lot of Vietnamese are honest and are very much willing to help tourists that are having a hard time sorting their bills. But like everywhere else, some locals will try to cheat you too. So make sure that you carefully count your money after making a purchase.
In the Western world, taking random pictures of almost anything is fine. But the same thing is not applicable in Vietnam. Before you take pictures, especially in the more rural areas, it is important that you ask permission as a sign of respect.
If you want to ensure that you will have the medical assistance that you will need should any medical emergency happen to you while on vacation then make sure that you have medical insurance before you go on your Vietnam holiday. Why is this so? Vietnam does not have any medical treatments that are for free. The local medical facilities’ standards are below the standards that have been internationally set. Should you find yourself in need of any medical assistance, go to international facilities instead. Be warned about the expensive fees that you will need to pay though.
Do not just do your homework on the places that you should visit while in Vietnam. Make sure that you also check out possible places for you to dine in. For the best recommendations, you might want to check local websites where information from the locals is available. There are mobile applications that you can try out too.
If you do not want to have any stomach problems, avoid eating or drinking from unsanitary street vendors. But do not worry though if you have the misfortune of having a stomach problem. Diarrhea pills should not be too difficult to find in Vietnam and they are relatively cheap too. Trust as when we tell you that you are going to need them at some point of your visit.
Some things may cause you to lose your temper and you just cannot help but be frustrated. Avoid this as much as you can though because you won’t resolve anything by throwing tantrums.
