[Check before traveling to Ho Chi Minh!] 7 things to keep in mind to have a comfortable and safe stay there📌✨

Ho Chi Minh City, a big city in southern Vietnam, is attractive for its lively streets and delicious food!

However, there are some rules and precautions that are a little different from those in Japan.

To have a safe and enjoyable trip, here are some things you should keep in mind!



① Be careful of pickpockets and snatchers👛

In tourist areas and on streets with many motorbikes, the golden rule is to hold your bag in front of you and not put your smartphone on the road side!

Be especially careful at night and in crowded areas.



② There are practically no traffic lights!? 🚦

Crossing the road is thrilling... but don't panic.
If you walk slowly and at a constant speed, motorbikes will avoid you◎



③ Take a taxi to Vinasun or Mai Linh🚕

Use a reliable taxi company.
The Grab app is also convenient, but don't forget to check the fare!



④ Don't use tap water🚫

Use mineral water for brushing your teeth and gargling.
You can get it at convenience stores and hotels, so it's safe.



⑤ Carry small amounts of cash frequently 💵

Many stores do not accept credit cards, so it is convenient to carry small bills.

※Be careful of the number of zeros as there are many digits!



⑥ Toilet conditions vary 🚻

There may not be toilet paper. Bring pocket tissues with you for peace of mind ◎



⑦ Dress "cool and easy to move in" 👕

In Ho Chi Minh City, which is hot all year round, breathable clothes + a jacket are ◎
It is good manners to avoid exposing your skin at temples, etc.



A little preparation and mental preparation are important to stay safe and comfortable ✨
Enjoy the charm of Ho Chi Minh while feeling the local atmosphere!
