Five things International Tourists should know before visiting Vietnam

According to The Telegraph India, international tourists should keep in mind the following five small but useful tips for a smooth and hassle-free journey when visiting Vietnam. The newspaper considers Vietnam one of the most attractive destinations in Southeast Asia, and the journey to explore Vietnam will be incredibly enjoyable if tourists know what to do in advance. Preparing and researching everything beforehand, from customs and cultural practices to local transportation, will not only help travelers avoid troubles during their trip but also make the journey memorable.

Travel Season, Transportation, and Communication in Vietnam

Firstly, regarding the best time to visit Vietnam, tourists should pay attention to the weather and seasons throughout the year. As a Southeast Asian country, Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate. In the summer, the weather is hot and humid, with long sunny days. The average temperature ranges from 26-28°C, but some days can be extremely hot with very high temperatures. However, in winter, Vietnam is quite cold with strong winds, and temperatures usually fluctuate between 18°C and 23°C. The best time to visit Vietnam is from November to April. During this time, visitors can enjoy warm sunshine and cool weather.

Regarding transportation in Vietnam, tourists should book their flights in advance to save as much as possible. For Indian tourists, most major cities have flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, so they should book direct flights to avoid long and tiring travel times. Indian tourists should also look into airport pickup services, as many flights from Kolkata may arrive in Vietnamese cities at night, and getting transportation at that time can be challenging.

For convenience, tourists should rent a car through their travel agency or hotel, along with a guide, as taxis can be very expensive for short trips. Although it is legal for foreigners to rent motorbikes with engines of up to 50 cc, it is best to avoid this due to unfamiliarity with Vietnam's traffic laws, which can result in fines. In Vietnam, tourists can also walk around the streets to experience local culture.

Regarding communication with locals, although Vietnam has made efforts to welcome tourists back, language can still be a barrier. While many young Vietnamese speak English quite well, many locals may need to use Google Translate to communicate with foreigners in English. Therefore, for the most convenient communication, tourists should buy a Vietnamese SIM card at the airport. Service providers offer many affordable data packages. Tourists should choose packages that support fast and comfortable internet access to use Google Maps for navigation and Google Translate for communication. With this, tourists can confidently explore and look forward to many interesting experiences.

Rich Cuisine and Tipping Culture

Regarding cuisine, Vietnam has a rich culinary tradition. There are many delicious dishes with seafood and meat. Fans of these types of food will definitely have a hard time choosing from the vast array of dishes. If any tourists are vegetarians, they might miss out on many delicious dishes here. While food choices may be difficult, these tourists can find alternatives at convenience stores on every corner. Like Thailand's 7-Eleven system, Vietnam has many Circle K stores. These stores offer many snacks like chips, ready-to-eat sausages, fresh bread, various instant ramen, and dairy products like flavored milk and yogurt for tourists to enjoy. Visitors can also visit European-style restaurants and cafes to enjoy vegetarian meals and snacks like crepes. Vegetarian tourists can try many tofu dishes with salads to experience local culinary flavors.

Regarding tipping, it is not mandatory for tourists to leave tips when experiencing travel services in Vietnam. Tourists can tip if they are satisfied with the services provided, and the amount is up to personal preference.
