- Stay Hydrated: Vietnam can be hot and humid. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially when exploring outdoors.
- Be Mindful of Local Customs: When visiting pagodas or temples, dress modestly, covering your shoulders and knees. Remove your shoes before entering someone's home. Avoid stepping on prayer mats or walking directly in front of someone praying to show respect.
