Tips
- Pay attention to the weather before traveling. Northern and Central Vietnam have four seasons a year while Laos and Cambodia have only two seasons (dry and rainy seasons).
- Prepare some cash: There are many ATMs in tourism spots, but in provinces, you will need to pay in cash.
- Prepare for the humidity: wear appropriate clothes and bring extra water.
- Don’t forget sun protection items: umbrella, hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. The hot and humid weather in Vietnam will cause sunburn.
- Dress appropriately when visiting a religious site: Always keep a shawl or some long-sleeved clothing in your bag as you may be refused entry or cause offense if you are not properly covered.
