Travel Hacks To Know Before You Have Your Best Tours To Vietnam

Before we start digging deep into the know-hows of Vietnam, let us tell you one thing straight away, Vietnam is tricky! Not to scare you with the travel scams but to warn you so that you can avoid and have your incredible time in an S-shaped country.

We must admit that the beauty of Vietnam surpasses Thailand in almost every travel category but not beaches. If you are planning to have your ​tours to Vietnam this summer and do not wish to look ani-Vietnamese or cynic, then you need to read this blog.

This piece of content shall solve all your queries related to what you should know before you land in Vietnam, which things you should avoid during the trip and the best time to travel to the country.

So here is your guide that will help you to avoid landing up into extremes, but before that, let’s have a brief about Vietnam.

Vietnam is a beautiful country, full of rice paddies, tuk-tuks, food delicacies, and water buffaloes. The country has varied cultures and traditions that can almost give you a cultural shock. Locals may not speak English, and you need to be polite and respectful while dealing with them. The best time to visit is between February to April. Now, let’s jump up on the things that you need to know.

Weather:​

Starting from the capital Hanoi to Can Tho & Ho Chi Minh to Sapa, the topography of the country changes drastically. Therefore, we can say be prepared for both wet shoes or sweaty clothes. You would be surprised to know that Hanoi itself has four various seasons, sticky summers to humid winters. Hence, pack your bags with linen beach clothes, waterproof shoes, sunscreens, and sweaters.

Vietnamese take naps: One thumb-rule to remember: Vietnamese take afternoon naps, and you have to embrace it.

You would be surprised to see locals sleeping randomly over the vehicles in the afternoon, but

it is their daily routine, and you need to do exactly as the locals do. Do not disturb them; instead, if you feel tired after miles of walking, take a break.

If you wish to avoid these scenes, travel early in the morning or post at 5 pm.

Eat cautiously:

Vietnam will never disappoint you when it comes to local delicacies, but wait, the quality of food is not guaranteed. Yes, you read it right. While having your ​best tours in Vietnam, be cautious, and wash everything with your water in the bottle if it’s raw. If you buy fruits from the vendors, then wash and eat, don’t drink tap water at all.

Be aware of the pickpockets: This is not to scare you straight away, but you need to protect your purses and wallets while you travel within the city. Do not worry, you will not be facing any violent crime, but you will see robbers walking in disguise and snatching away your valuables. Hence, it would be best to carry a purse with a strap that goes across the body. Don’t make a mistake to put your passport in the backpack, but keep it at a secret place, under the clothes.

Get your visa done:

Take your visa process seriously, like very seriously! If you are a resident of any of the ASEAN countries, you are not required to apply for a visa. You can obtain a visa through online ​portals and apply for e-visa. Additionally, you can take pre-approval to get the visa on arrival in order to

avoid any confusion later. The main twist over here is, some sites are not authentic to offer pre-approval permission. So beware of such dummy websites.

Cover the body: It might sound awkward to travelers from foreign countries, but you wouldn’t be allowed to enter the pagodas and holy temples if your body parts are open and visible. Hence, carry an extra scarf and cover the body till shoulders before entering into the temples. Vietnam is a bit more conservative, and you, as a foreign traveler, need to respect the culture.

Never rely on the taximeter:

Consider it as a warning, but Vietnamese taxi drivers can cheat you with high prices. You can easily rely on the authorized taxi drivers from the Hanoi Taxi, Mai Linh and Vinasun. If a driver

refuses to turn the taximeter on, stop right there and get out of the ride. It would be advisable to book a cab through Grab application and check the price before you board the ride. Adding more to the line, do not forget to put the seat belt on while being on the ride. Also, if you are happy with the ride, you can give the extra change as a tip to the driver.

Your exclusive ​Vietnam travel packages will be full of crazy foods, playfulness, and cherishable memories. If you wish to gel amicably amongst the locals, learn a bit of Vietnamese language, who knows, you may reward yourself with a new Vietnamese friend.
