Vietnam — Useful tips for your trip
Vietnam's currency is the dong (VND) and cash is still king for street food, markets and small towns — though cities increasingly take cards and Grab pay. Withdraw from ATMs rather than airport exchange desks, and watch the zeros: 20,000 and 500,000 notes look similar.
Download Grab before you travel — it's the go-to app for cheap car and motorbike rides and food delivery, with the price fixed in-app so there's no haggling. It needs data, which your eSIM covers.
In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City the traffic is a river of motorbikes. To cross, step out slowly and steadily and keep a predictable pace — the bikes will flow around you. Don't stop suddenly or run back.
Vietnam runs on 220V with mostly Type A and C sockets (flat US-style or round two-pin plugs fit). A universal adapter is handy, and most modern chargers handle the voltage automatically.
Vietnam stretches over 1,600 km, so the weather splits by region: the north (Hanoi, Sapa) has cool, even cold winters, while the south (Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong) is tropical year-round. Pack for the specific regions and season on your route.
Don't drink the tap water — stick to bottled or filtered water, which is cheap and everywhere. It's also worth carrying hand sanitiser and being a little cautious with ice in very rural spots.
Save offline Google Maps for each city before you go, and keep Google Translate handy — its camera mode reads menus and signs. Both, plus Grab and messaging, run on your eSIM data, so a little planning keeps you moving smoothly.
