Is tipping customary in Vietnam?

In Vietnam, tipping is a gesture of appreciation rather than an obligation. While it's not part of the traditional culture, leaving a small gratuity of 5-10% for good service—whether at a restaurant or for a driver—is always welcome.

What is the internet access like in Vietnam?

In Vietnam, internet access is widely available in tourist areas and major cities, often found in restaurants and internet cafes. However, it becomes less frequent in rural and remote regions.

Can I use my mobile phone in Vietnam?

Mobile phone service is reliable in most of Vietnam's cities, but connectivity can be limited in remote and mountainous areas. Be sure to contact your mobile provider to set up global roaming before you travel if you want to use your phone.

What kind of currencies should you recommend?

Vietnam Dong is the official currency in Vietnam, which you can’t purchase or difficult to purchase outside of the country. Major Banks in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city can handle quite a lot of different currencies, however, USD is the most widely accepted. So we recommend taking a combination of USD cash, USD traveler’s cheques with the bulk in traveler’s cheques for safety reasons. American Express, Visa are the most popular brands.
