Bring as little as possible, Vietnam has pretty much anything you can find back home.

Necessary documents: your  passport and  visa (with their copies); 2 photos (3cmx4cm), tour dossier (tour itinerary, address of travel agent or travel company operator, contact number… ) and others (if needed).

Cash in US$5’s, US$10’s, US$20’s and US$100’s (US dollars are commonly acceptable)

All the soaps and smellies are cheap and plentiful, and clothing, shoes and backpacks are all manufactured in Vietnam and available at a fraction of the price in the West. Tampons are available in all major towns and cities, but not in more remote areas.

A Swiss-army knife or equivalent come in handy, but you don’t need 27 separate functions, just one blade and an opener. A torch (flashlight) and compass are also useful.

Other handy things to bring are: name cards, as Vietnamese deal them out like a deck of cards; ear plugs to block the ever-present noise; a universal plug adaptor; a rain cover for the backpack; a sweater for the highlands and air-con bus trips; mosquito repellent to keep the bugs at bay; and a folding umbrella if you plan to visit during the rainy season (July and August are the wettest months).

The secret of successful packing:  plastic bags – not only do they keep things separate and clean, but also dry. That means a lot at the end of a long, wet day.

Visa tips: On Arrival visa means the visa that you can collect upon arrival at the airport. Legally issued by Vietnam Immigration Department (www.vietnamvisaonline.net). This visa will save your time and your service.

It is obvious that secure and comfortable accommodation is basic need for all tourist.Implementing new strategies and sharing views for camping and discussing many more beautiful places,culture and environment is really appreciating.Thanks.
