In reply to GenreVibez-a0. I didn't know about all those risks! Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. By the way, I heard carrying a photocopy of your passport and keeping emergency contacts handy are smart moves when exploring new places. Stay safe out there!

Can you believe it? In Vietnam, tap water is a no-go in many areas, even in Hanoi! Locals always boil it first. Watch out for food hygiene too. not all fresh ingredients are cleaned properly. And keep an eye out for petty theft, especially phone snatching by motorbike. Stay safe out there!

Planning a trip to Vietnam? Well, buckle up for an exhilarating ride! Don’t forget to arm yourself with mosquito repellent, not only to keep those pesky buzzers at bay but also to rock that fabulous mosquito repellent chic look. And when the heat starts scorching, remember to channel your inner diva and strut around in those breezy outfits like you’re walking down a catwalk.

While you can travel alone, I don’t think you should. Even if it is not your first time.
So many things could go wrong and people – family, friends – they would have no real way of knowing!

I think it is a good idea to not travel alone if it is your first time in Vietnam. The culture shock can make you an easy target. I have had friends who liked traveling alone and one got mugged 3 times during his first trip to the Philippines.

In reply to vietzone.

@vietzone These are great tips and ones I was going to touch on. I think it is a good idea for women to have some sort of purse or bag that is better secured and that they can wear closer to their chest/front area. It will reduce the odds and chances.

The risk from viruses seems to be a big one and often is overlooked by new travelers. There is medication and vaccination options but you will likely feel a bit sick after getting those so be sure to plan ahead!

Vietnam is a very safe place to visit, but it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and avoid certain things like scammers and thieves. Here are some tips for staying safe while exploring this amazing country:

-Don’t walk alone outside after dark

-Don’t leave your passport in a hotel room when you go out

-Wear comfortable shoes: You’ll want these for the long walks through Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and other cities around Vietnam where you’ll be doing most of your sightseeing.

-Carry a small purse: That way if someone tries to steal your wallet or purse, they won’t get much cash out of it before running away from the scene!
