I’ve always been fairly comfortable leaving my passport in the hotel room safe – make sure the safe is affixed and the hotel has a solid reputation. 5 trips to Vietnam – never had a problem.
Don’t use hotel safes, keep your things locked in your suitcase in your room
Dont have jewelry around neck to I always put small amounts of cash in various pockets not all in one I leave stuff in room safe Or hotel safe Never carry passport with you Watch phone when taking pics motos as fast woosh gone
Hi! Please keep all personal belongings with you at all times, especially money, credit cards, and valuable items. Always keep your passport in your pocket.
I leave my money inside my luggage, closed with a safe lock and I keep my passport with me at all times.
i would highly recommend to bring the passport because you never know what’s going to happen
Whatever you do, don’t wear one of those dumb man purse things lol
Bring your passport with you, be careful when you wear expensive clothes.
Small bag with RFID protection, has 2 strong belt loops (wear inside your pants. Fits passport, cash and has an internal card pockets. I carry passport copies, leaving passport in the hotel. Same company has a silk discreet bum bag to wear under the clothes and not looking like grandpa on holiday. I wear out small foldable backpack for my water and stuff I may potentially buy. That gives me always free 2 hands with out the bother of a cross body bag.
I leave in safe in hotel room with a do not disturb card on the door. I also have a cut proof personal type safe that can be attached to non removable plumbing in the hotel room. If I need the room made up I call front desk to have it done when I am in room.
