Noted in our Vietnam travel tips, travelers are advised to check with their doctor or travel immunization clinic regarding the advisability of inoculation against typhoid, tetanus, hepatitis A &amp; B and malaria. It is recommended that all travelers take out comprehensive Personal Travel Insurance to cover personal belongings, or in case of accident or illness, etc.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><strong>ELECTRICITY<\/strong><br \/>The usual voltage is 220V, 50Hz. The two-pin (ungrounded) plug is more popular than the three-pin one. If you have any devices needing a special outlet, please bring its adapter kit. The best investment is a universal AC adapter, which enables you to plug it into any outlet without damaging your appliances.<br \/><strong>\u00a0<br \/>CURRENCY, MONEY EXCHANGE &amp; ATM<\/strong><br \/>The local currency is the Dong (abbreviated &#8220;d&#8221; or VND). Money, particularly US dollars can be exchanged at banks, hotels, and authorized money exchangers. Most retailers do not accept checks. But Visa, Master &amp; JCB cards are widely accepted. Some merchants also accept AMEX. A 3% bank charge on transactions (4% for AMEX) is pretty common, due to bank policies. ATMs are very popular in most tourist destinations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><strong>PACKING LIST<\/strong><br \/>Be a smart traveler. Before heading overseas, make a list of things to bring. You are recommended to \u201ctravel light\u201d as much as possible. Please refer to the weather section of the website to identify what you should pack (sunblock, appropriate clothes, hat, mosquito repellant etc.)<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><strong>SAFETY<\/strong><br \/>Ostentatious displays of money, jewelry, luggage, and dress can encourage the wrong type of attention. When travelling, be aware of where your luggage is at all times- particularly your hand bag, camera, etc. Do not leave them unattended or hanging on the back of chairs in restaurants. Petty theft is also common on crowded trains, buses, and at supermarkets.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1938\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"9\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1938\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> <span>09<\/span>Etiquette- one of the important part of Vietnam travel tips <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-times-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1938\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9f9a67 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d9f9a67\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e36c8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e36c8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Understanding local customs and social norms is an important part of making your journey to Vietnam enjoyable, respectful, and enriching.

Out of respect, dress modestly\u2014cover shoulders and knees, especially when visiting temples, museums, or cultural heritage sites.<\/h3><h3>\ud83d\udeab Mind Your Gestures:\u00a0 Avoid pointing at people or objects with your index finger\u2014it\u2019s considered rude. Instead, gesture with your whole hand or nod in the direction. Refrain from touching people, especially on the head, as the head is considered the most sacred part of the body in Vietnamese culture.<\/h3><h3>\u00a0Respect for Elders &#8211; Vietnamese culture places high value on respect for the elderly. Use a gentle tone when speaking, and consider offering assistance (e.g., helping them cross the street). A simple bow or nod shows appreciation and respect.<\/h3><h3>\ud83d\udcf8 Always Ask Before Taking Photos: While many locals are friendly and open, it\u2019s polite to ask for permission before photographing individuals, especially in ethnic minority villages or rural communities. A smile and simple gesture will usually do the trick.<\/h3><h3>Remove Shoes When Entering Homes &#8211; When invited into a local home, always remove your shoes before entering. This applies to many traditional guesthouses and temples as well.<\/h3><h3>\ud83d\ude4f Use Both Hands When Giving or Receiving &#8211; When offering or receiving something\u2014especially from elders or in formal settings\u2014it\u2019s courteous to use both hands, or at least support your right hand with your left.<\/h3><h3>Politeness and Patience Go a Long Way &#8211; Vietnamese people value humility and politeness. Raising your voice or showing frustration in public is considered disrespectful. Remaining calm, smiling, and being patient will often get you further than demanding or loud behavior.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1939\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"10\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1939\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> <span>10<\/span>Some Special Notes When Traveling to Vietnam <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-times-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1939\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abb1222 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"abb1222\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6d3ba0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6d3ba0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>TIME ZONE &amp; WORKING HOUR<\/strong><br \/>Local time is GMT + 7 hours.
