The things that you should be noticing when traveling to Vietnam

Vietnam, a country which is well-known by its gorgeous scenery, is one of the best places for international travelers. However, as any other places in the world, there are something that you should pay attention when taking a trip to this lovely country. Despite the fact that there are still things that you need to be beware of, it would not much bother you when you are staying there. Below are three matters that you should always remember when you put your first step on Vietnam’s ground.

Ask the price before having some food or taking any kinds of services.

The first rule is always make sure that you know the cost of what you are being offered. In some regions of Vietnam, some local businesses tend to charge you higher than their counterparts. This happened quite a lot in restaurant services. I do recommend you only enjoy the food, services they provide when you are well aware of the bill that you need to pay. However, this issue takes place at a few small restaurants. Thus, don’t put yourself under pressure when dealing the price.

Bargaining should be recognized as an art of dealing.

Bargaining is widely accepted in most areas of Vietnam, especially in the local markets. Those retailers there usually announced you a price which is a bit higher that the real price regardless of whether you are a foreigner or a local people. Your negotiation skills will be raised significantly only just after a day going around the market. It depends on how you bargain, you could have the goods with lower or higher than you have expected before. Nevertheless, this method should not be used in the places where the price is fixed such as Supermarket, Department Stores or some professional shopping mall, of course.

Attention should always be put on top priority

As in any other nations throughout the world, Vietnam is faced with the issue of robbers or pickpockets. Therefore, you need to pay attention when you visiting some places which are crowded. You should always put your eyes on your own properties, especially small ones such as wallet and cell phones. If you lost your properties when you join a crowd, it is impossible for police to get it back for you.

Another thing that worth mentioning is when walking on the street. In order to travel from one place to the others. International tourists often go on foot. Some of them keep using their mobile devices while walking, even their eyes are totally focus on the phone screen. Many occasions like that ended up with being robbed from mostly 2 robbers driving the bike and come from behind. In spite of the decline in these issues due to a better security nowadays, you should never under rated this matter because it could turn out to be the worst experience to you.

Above are the matters that might need you to pay attention. But once you are well aware of it, you would find the time you spent in Vietnam would be one of the best experience of your life.
