TRAVEL TIPS IN VIETNAM

- Dress modestly when visiting temples and pagodas, covering your shoulders and knees.
- Remove your shoes when entering someone's home.
- Never, ever point your feet towards any sacred statues, such as a Buddha.
- It is worth noting that in Vietnam, pointing at something or somebody with your finger is considered impolite, as well as touching people, especially on the head.
- Vietnamese society is very respectful of its elders and while nobody would say a thing in any circumstance, it is again appropriate to respect elderly people, help them cross the street and keep your voice low when talking to them.
- Ask to the person you want to take a picture of if it’s okay to do so.

- The official language is Vietnamese, but in tourist areas, you can often find English-speaking locals. Other popular languages include French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Russian.
- Learn a few basic Vietnamese phrases and greetings to show respect for the local culture.

- The currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). It's a good idea to carry some cash, but major cities and tourist areas also accept credit cards.
- Money, particularly US dollars can be exchanged at banks, hotels, and authorized money exchangers. Most retailers do not accept checks. But Visa, Master & 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.

- Domestic flights in Vietnam save a lot of time if you plan to visit several destinations. Domestic carriers are Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, and Bamboo Airways.

- Motorbike rentals are popular in many areas, but be cautious if you're not an experienced rider.

- Vietnamese cuisine is delicious and diverse. Don't miss trying local dishes like pho, banh mi, and fresh spring rolls.
- Street food is a must-try, but choose stalls with good hygiene practices.

- Purchase a local SIM card with data to stay connected. 4G coverage is widely available.
- 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.
