Vietnam is a vibrant destination, rich in culture. But like any international trip, your holiday in Vietnam can come with uncertainties.
Visitors to Vietnam should be cautious of bag slashing and pickpockets in popular tourist areas. Always keep your belongings secure.
Stay alert at night, particularly when using overnight trains.
Always keep an eye on your drinks to reduce the risk of drink spiking.
Vietnam’s roads are overcrowded and poorly maintained. Many drivers may not follow traffic rules. If you're unfamiliar with the road conditions, it's best to avoid riding a motorcycle. Exercise caution when crossing busy streets. Keep an eye out for motorcycles travelling on footpaths.
Tap water may be unsafe to drink so choose sealed bottled water where possible. You can get bottled water easily from many shops in Vietnam.
The tropical climate in Vietnam, can attract mosquitos. Mosquito bites can carry infectious disease,such as dengue fever. Regularly use insect repellent, choose accommodation with screens or mosquito nets, and wear clothing that covers exposed skin.
Medical facilities and care in Vietnam are often below Australian standards and may lack essential medicines and supplies.
Public hospitals, particularly those outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, often have lower standards of medical care. Even for minor procedures, you may require a medical evacuation to a larger city.
If you experience a serious illness or injury, evacuation to Bangkok or Singapore may be necessary. This can be expensive.
