All my info is out of date. but it is a country you must read up on before going - its not safe for idiots, but safe with preparation. Expect a corruption tax. When I visited all stores whee illegal, but operated via graft to the police.
Thank you.. This is why I am looking for a decent tour company, hopfully they keep you out of certain area's . take you to places a little more legit
I have found one place in Toronto,, Im sure there are more downtown TO but I am an not in Toronto. Especially one that does Vietnam. Was hoping to hear from someone who has used a company.
Mostly local populations with long-term exposure. For tourists, the risk is low if you're not eating local fish or produce from those hotspots. Still, awareness helps—avoid street food featuring river fish or unverified duck eggs in central Vietnam.
Dioxins are long-acting mutagens, causing DNA damage, endocrine disruption, birth defects, and cancers even decades later. Vietnam has extensive ongoing cleanup efforts, but legacy hotspots remain.
Tip: In suspect areas, choose ocean-caught seafood, farmed poultry, and trusted restaurant supply chains.Get the lonely planet the book, not ebook. its the bible. Electrical power is not reliable - generators run out of gas all the time.
Da Nang is an AMAZING place. Can't recommend going there enough! Hit up Ba Na Hills and Hoi An as well why you are there.
If you're looking for sex in Da Nang... it was probably worst city to visit, but everything else there is great!
Da Nang and Hue were the focal points of The Tet Offensive. Both VaVu and Niece Tway have done tours. For the later you have to travel to LA first.
Just came back from a month long trip to Vietnam visiting 9 cities starting at Hanoi going South to Ho Chi Minh. We did it on our own, booking hotels with agoda and booking. Klook and getyourguide can be used to book attractions. Accommodations, food and tourist attractions are very cheap. Use Grab app for taxi. If you get stuck with the logistics, ask the hotel front desk. They know ways to get around. It takes a minimum of 3 business days to get your eVisa to visit Vietnam for 90 days. Make sure you have this well in advance of your trip. Weather can be an issue so check out the time when you want to visit. If you plan to exchange USD to VND, bring clean, unfolded and new $100 USD bills to exchange. EQ Bank or WS card can get cash out of ATM in Vietnam. The best ATM I've used is TP Bank. It did not charge a transaction fee in 2 cities I visited. There are a lot of vloggers on youtube with Vietnam content.
If you want to book with a local company, intrepid is good. Tourism is a big industry in Vietnam. If you are more adventurous, you can try Vietnamese tour companies like https://www.saigontouristvietnam.com or https://travel.com.vn/en.
