Good things to know PDF Print E-mail

Here we will collect some good to know things, before you travel to Vietnam.

 

Cellphone

Cell phone works well in Vietnam, except in some of the most remote areas. If you are staying for a longer period consider obtaing a local pre-paid simcard instead of your own simcard. You get better control on your telephone cost and you will be calling local price in the country you are visiting. The phone company that has the best coverage is the military telephone company (Viettel)


Internet

Internet you can find wireless Internet almost everywhere. It is not uncommon with wireless connections all over the place in restaurants and cafes. Most hotels have access to a computer in the lobby if you have your own computer with you it may be convenient to install skype or other programs to call home cheap.


Tipping


Tips to tour guide, local guides and drivers are included in the price of the trip. To provide additional tipping is voluntary, but if you get extra help or good service, it is of course much appreciated.
The same applies to restaurants and taxis.
