Don’t spend your money on nails or a pedicure before you go as these salons are everywhere at 1/10th or less of the price
Don’t go in monsooon 😱😂
Do not go to Monkey island. They’re are bunch of thrives.
Not to follow anyone that gets super excited at you “winning the 1 of 3 grand prize choices” BUT all of a sudden your bundled into a taxi and then you get to the hotel they represent, you have to listen to a hour+ long spiel about how fantastic the owner of this “non-timeshare-timeshare company” does so much good and how their resorts are fabulous yet no-one can give you a price and then they get quite annoyed and somewhat aggressive if you don’t want to listen anymore…. Avoid Karma company hotel chains and their “street associates”.
Having enjoyed the remote villages in the north including Sapa. I visit homes without electricity or running water and it was a privilege to be taken to these places as the people really do live a basic life but are so welcoming.
That it’s so easy and accessible and the Vietnamese are so kind
Take your own Panadol it costs a fortune there tbh
Use the rail system amazing experience
Don’t have an Itinerary, some places you’ll love a lot more then others,
