CURRENCY & PAYMENT
The currency in Vietnam is the Dong (VND).
ATM’s are widely accessible across Vietnam, but generally, cash is mostly used here. But not all banks accept foreign cards, so it’s best to try one of the bigger branches like HSBC and Citi Bank that accepts Visa or Mastercard.
Most hotels, tour operators, and fancier restaurants should accept debit or credit cards.
PACKING
Since most part of Vietnam is hot and humid, Pack light, breathable clothing that won’t stick to your body. Also, fabrics that dry fast, like linen, cotton, or light rayon is a plus.
Depending on your itinerary, you’ll probably need a good balance of cool and warmer items. Pack a few warm things if you’re headed to Sapa or other mountainous regions. And, if you’re only sticking to the southern or central areas, you can easily get away with just your favorite shorts, rompers, skirts, summer dresses.
TRAVEL ADAPTER
The standard voltage in Vietnam is 220V with a frequency of 50HZ. Unless your home country uses a similar voltage, remember to bring along a travel plug when visiting Vietnam.
