Your Vietnam adventure travel holiday is just a few days away and scrambling to know as much as possible before you go. With Vietnam tips and tricks below, the only thing you'll feel before you go on your family adventure vacation is excitement!
The Best Time to Visit Vietnam
Vietnam's weather is complex and seasons differ depending on your destination. The north is warm, dry and sunny between September and December, though you' will need warm clothes for cold evenings in the mountains. December to February can be astonishingly cold with temperatures as low as 10*C. The rainy season begins in June with intense downpours.
The Central portion has a wet weather, even if the dry season lasts from February to May, after which is humid and rainy, with temperatures about 30*C. Between November and January, the rains drop. The dry period in the lower east coast and South lasts from December to May, and then it is followed by a rainy season.
Money and Valuables
Store money, debit cards as well as valuables in a secure place. A lot of hotels have in-room safes or ask the reception to keep valuables in their safe deposit.
Avoid carrying more money than you neither need nor wear expensive jewelry when walking along the street. In Vietnam, it is considered rude to flaunt wealth, and you are more likely to be a victim or pickpocket.
Credit cards are used in big cities but might be tricky to use in smaller towns.
What to Wear
In Vietnam, the dress code is informal but conventional. Unless you plan on dinner at an ultra-upscale restaurant, there’s no need for the formal dress. When packing, one thing to think about is the weather, as it can be chilly in the northern mountains and at the same time, humid and hot on the central coast.
For the winter season, long jeans and a warm coat are essential. For the more tropical regions, lightweight, quick-drying clothes are suitable.
Good hiking shoes for hiking are a must, and sandal and flip-flop are ideal for coastal destinations.
Dress suitably so as not to offend local people. Clothing must be kept simple as well as discreet. Avoid wearing tank tops, shorts, and low necklines.
Additional Helpful Accessories
• Bring good sun-protectant because local products are undependable.
Though there are not really mosquitoes in the cities, is highly recommended to bring bug repellent for itineraries including treks as well as forested areas.
For conventional cameras, lots of films and additional batteries are essential, as these have almost disappeared in Vietnam. For digital cameras, gear is readily available.
Follow Local Customs
Remove your shoes when going inside pagodas, temples and Vietnamese houses.
It is considered rude to wear shorts or dresses and tops with low necklines as well as bare shoulders to pagodas and temples.
Handshaking is the ordinary way of greeting in Vietnam. But Vietnamese people shouldn’t be touched on the head.
Tipping in Vietnam
Tipping isn’t expected but much appreciated. A skilled or good guide may get $10 a day and a driver $5 a day. It is considered good to make donations when going to a pagoda, particularly when accompanied by a priest. A lot of pagodas have boxes for this reason.
Conclusion
Vietnam has so many things to offer. To make your holiday unforgettable and memorable, you need to follow the Vietnam tips and tricks mentioned above.
