How tourists dress in Vietnam. What to bring to Vietnam: a list of things, documents, necessary medicines, drugs, clothes. What clothes to take to Vietnam

So, you bought plane tickets and booked hotel rooms. Vacation in Vietnam starts any day! But what to bring with you, what things will come in handy?

What to bring to Vietnam? List of things

When compiling a list of what things to take with you to Vietnam, the main thing is not to forget about sunblock. Such funds will definitely not be superfluous! Tourists often sunbathe on the first day, literally in 20 minutes. There is no need to spoil your vacation, so buy more cream, and better - in advance. Personally, I prefer to use one face cream, the other - for the body. If you suddenly forgot to buy a tanning product in Russia, first of all, take it when you arrive in Vietnam. The choice here is wide, the prices in stores like Lotte Mart are quite nice.

Shampoos, balms, masks and creams can be taken from home, or can be bought on the spot. Especially in Vietnam so much. Of the usual brands here you can buy shampoos and balms from Dove. I also advise washing, oils and creams of the Lemongrass brand - a proven company, although not Vietnamese.

Sometimes acquaintances, especially if traveling with children, ask what medicines to take with them to the sea, to Vietnam. In fact, there is everything in pharmacies, but even the simplest remedies can be much more expensive. For example, regular activated carbon, which costs about 10 rubles per standard, will cost 90 rubles in Phan Thiet. Therefore, put in your bag the medicines that you use more often than others. There are two specific recommendations for Vietnam. First, panthenol - will help against sunburn. Secondly, something in case of an allergy, for example suprastin. Suddenly, something from the national cuisine will please you, but not your body?

Wardrobe for the holidays

Tourists are often worried about what clothes to bring to Vietnam. Firstly, T-shirts, at least four pieces, and two pairs of comfortable shorts. Girls do not have to give up beautiful dresses. Of course, during long excursions they are better off lying in a hotel room, but they are absolutely necessary for going to a restaurant! Do not forget about a hat, a cap or a wide-brimmed hat, otherwise you will quickly heat up your head.

Are you planning? It can be quite cold in the evenings. Therefore, I advise you to capture the windbreaker. A buff is also very useful so as not to breathe dust and exhaust fumes on the roads. Of course, girls can not do without a pair of bathing suits. Do not forget about the most beautiful and sexy of your collection. Even if it’s not very convenient - it’s worth putting it on for a photo shoot!

What to bring to a photo shoot in Vietnam?

Have you already planned a photo shoot in Vietnam and are thinking what to bring with you? For a start - favorite cosmetics. Arrows on the eyes and red lipstick will make the image brighter. It is also worth grabbing matting napkins or powder. Take a couple of hair pins, best of all - invisible. Indeed, in beach photographs, flowers in the hair look very advantageous. And invisibles are perfect to fix them. To prevent the sun from blinding your eyes, it is better to wear dark glasses at some points, so take the best of your models.

Rest in Vietnam is a mass of positive impressions and emotions. But, this is only if it is good to prepare for it. Do not forget that Vietnam is an Asian country with all its climatic, mental and other features. So - you should prepare in advance for the trip, and create a list of the necessary things for the trip to Vietnam taking into account the experience of more experienced travelers.

No documents anywhere

First of all, it is necessary to prepare and execute all the necessary documents. During the trip, you can not do without a passport, tickets, visa (if you plan to relax for more than 15 days), a tourist permit, a set of photos, etc.

As a rule, travel agency specialists provide the most complete information about the necessary documents and features of their stay in the selected country. Savage tourists will have to rely only on themselves and independently collect relevant information about what to take to Vietnam from documents, products or medicines.

After the set of documents is collected, be sure to make copies of them. Upon arrival in Nha Trang, the originals of all documents should be deposited in the hotel safe and have copies of them with you. Fans of car trips should be prepared for the fact that on the Vietnamese roads you can drive only with the rights issued here.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to think in advance whether it is worth trying to apply for a local driver’s license. As an option - rent a car with a driver.

First aid kit

Tourists with experience believe that going to any more or less long trip, you should equip a medical kit. If we are talking about a visit to the country on a weekend, then you can limit yourself to banal iodine, brilliant green, bandages and tampons. A visit to a region with a completely different climate and potential dangers requires a fundamentally different approach.

If we are talking about a trip to Vietnam, then it would be useful to take with you:

• antipyretic drugs;
• painkillers;
• sunburn creams, moisturizing skin oils and lotions;
• antiallergic drugs;
• wipes and sprays for disinfection - it is better to play it safe and as much as possible limit familiarity with local microorganisms;
• medicines that you constantly take at home;
• mosquito repellents (fumigators, creams, etc.)

The latter position is quite controversial - experienced tourists claim that Vietnamese insects are not afraid of the effects of protective equipment brought from Russia. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that the fumigators will have to buy on the spot.

Classic iodine with zelenka and a patch will also not be superfluous, especially if you plan not only to bask on the beach, but also to travel around the country. However, if you forget something, then it’s okay - in Nha Trang you can easily find a pharmacy with Russian-speaking staff. In any case, you will not be left without help, but it is better to be safe.

Clothing should be comfortable

What to take to Vietnam from clothes is one of the most popular questions on numerous forums. The selection of a wardrobe for travel is a purely personal matter, but general recommendations should be taken into account.

During a summer visit to Nha Trang, you should grab a few sets of light casual clothes (T-shirts, T-shirts, shorts, cotton trousers), swimming trunks (swimwear), and caps (hats). From shoes useful flip flops, slippers and sandals. Fans of hiking country trips recommend taking sneakers. Winters in Vietnam are mild and rainy, so in November-January, a tourist should bring a sweater or sweater with sleeves, jeans and a raincoat. It is better to leave a down jacket, a fur coat or coat in which you arrived at the airport in Russia, in Vietnam they definitely will not be useful.

It is not necessary to carry all things with you. As a rule, most of the things brought do not get out of the suitcase. You can take only the most comfortable and necessary clothes, and everything else to buy on the spot. T-shirts, t-shirts and other consumer goods are inexpensive here. You can buy clothes at every step, so do not deny yourself this pleasure.

Take care of the children

Traveling with children always requires additional costs and hassle. There is nothing to be done - the "flowers of life" traditionally require increased attention. It is worth making a detailed list of things that should be taken on vacation in Vietnam, taking into account children's needs.

First of all, it is advisable to take water and familiar foods (cookies, dried fruits, etc.) with you. At the initial stage, this will help the child acclimatize to the local cuisine as comfortably as possible. It goes without saying that the contents of the first-aid kit should be replenished with children's preparations for the treatment and prevention of diseases, and for the time of the flight do not forget to grab pencils, books, coloring books, etc., in order to keep the child busy.

Money issue

The financial component of the trip is traditionally one of the most important. It's no secret that it is much more comfortable to relax and travel if you are not experiencing any financial difficulties during the trip. Going to Vietnam, it is not necessary to carry a suitcase with cash. In most hotels and supermarkets, you can easily pay by credit card. But, a certain amount of cash dollars is better to grab.

Of course, you will formulate the trip budget yourself. But, in any case, it should be assumed that $ 30 is the minimum daily rate of financial costs in Vietnam. This includes the economy option of accommodation, low-budget meals and the purchase of inexpensive souvenirs.

Money can be exchanged without problems directly at the airport or at the hotel.

When compiling a list of what to take with you to Vietnam, pay attention to small, but nonetheless, necessary things that are definitely useful. Among them:

• a flashlight is far from the most useless device in a country where a tropical night falls very quickly, and street lighting in some cases leaves much to be desired;
• sunglasses - take care of your eyes, because the sun here is very active;
• shaving accessories and toothpaste - it is more pleasant and safer to use familiar and proven hygiene products;
• camera - today many tourists take pictures of the surroundings and take selfie on smartphones, but the classic image of a vacationer is a tourist with a camera;
• a convenient backpack or bag - useful for storing a minimum of necessary things, both during long trips, and during short-term trips and excursions;
• a phone and a tablet are a must for any tourist in any country, but do not forget to buy an international sim card;
• a notebook and pen - very often help out when communicating with local residents - what cannot be said in words can be represented with the help of symbols;
• listing with the name and image of your hotel - can become a kind of thread Ariadne, if you get lost, what happens all the time;
• the Russian-Vietnamese phrasebook is another assistant in establishing communications with sellers in markets and supermarkets.

What you do not need to take to Vietnam

Along with the necessary things that will come in handy during the trip, I want to note that it is completely optional to take a vacation to Vietnam. In particular, fans of all kinds of strong drinks do not need to take a home bar with them on a trip. Vietnamese manufacturers sell a huge amount of alcoholic beverages, so there are plenty to choose from. Moreover, the quality of Vietnamese alcohol is quite decent, and the prices are quite budget.

Bed linens, dishes, gels and shampoos will also become a burden for the tourist. You are going to rest in a country where tourist services are at a fairly decent level and have the right to count on quality service. If we are talking about a "half-wild" vacation, then it is easier to buy all the necessary little things in place than to drag them along across borders and customs.

Numerous tourists are traditionally interested only in local exoticism, and for the Vietnamese, without exception, all guests are quite exotic, regardless of their “packaging”. The main thing is that you are ready to leave a certain amount of money here, everything else is secondary.

Are you interested in Vietnam from Omsk, Tours to Vietnam? Do not miss the moment and send an application right now, the consultant will process your information and within 10 minutes will call you back and offer the most suitable option. The service is completely free.

You have already bought a direct flight ticket to Vietnam from Omsk  and already started to pack your suitcase? Do not hurry! Read a few tips first for those traveling to Vietnam. In countries with a tropical climate, you can find a large number of blood-sucking insects, the bites of which are not only painful, but also dangerous. We recommend going to Vietnam to take creams and sprays that save from insects.

If you gathered buy a ticket to Vietnam, then you should know that you should not immediately try exotic dishes unknown to you, especially in dubious places. Many national dishes are foreign to our stomach. In any case, take remedies for indigestion.

Tours to Vietnam  guarantee you bright sunshine and hot weather. Sunblock creams, as well as antipyretics, will also not be superfluous in your travel kit. Opt for sunscreens with a protection rating of at least 50. Remember to bring moisturizing lotions after tanning.

Packing your suitcase in tour to Vietnam from OmskBring a few bottles of drinking water with you. In Vietnam, there are problems with the water supply and your supplies can come in handy.

From personal hygiene products it is worth saying about razors. In Vietnam, it’s difficult to buy disposable razors and the price will be unreasonably high. It is better to bring a machine with a set of interchangeable blades.

Clothing for a trip to Vietnam, choose a light and well-permeable air.Take a panama hat or a hat on your head. If you are going to Vietnam from October to February, then grab a windbreaker or sweater, something with a long sleeve. Most likely you will need a raincoat, at this time there are real tropical downpours. Clothes can also be bought in Vietnam. It will be even more profitable, as in local markets. Shoes should also be light and comfortable.

If you are fond of diving, then take your mask, snorkel and flippers with you. In Vietnam, these kinds of accessories are expensive.

Locals do not speak English well, so it will be extremely difficult to explain anything to them. Name of streets, hotel ( carry a business card with you, where you stayed, otherwise you’ll stray in a taxi for a very long time), write down a cafe and other landmarks in a notebook, which you should take with you.

Getting ready for flight to Vietnam, note that the trip will take a long time. And if you go on a trip with young children, make sure that they do not suffer from idleness. Take along an album and accessories for drawing or pocket games that will entertain the child during a long flight.

When planning a direct flight to Vietnam from Omsk, be sure to bring along photocopies of your passport, visa and insurance. Hand over originals in the safe of your hotel. Do not risk carrying the originals with you, do not take jewelry for walks, do not show money. In Vietnam, there may be those who want to steal valuable items and currency from you.

We will help you pack your suitcase ... Where did you go? - Sit, maybe they won’t notice and take it with you? (from an overheard conversation of our cats)

Tickets purchased, routes drawn up, accounted for. It remains to collect the suitcase and - on the road. For 5 independent trips to Vietnam, we have already formed our list of things necessary for the trip. It is constantly being optimized.

The task is not easy - to collect a suitcase of necessary (!) Things in the optimal quantity and with minimal weight.

We really respect those who travel with a half-empty backpack, we ourselves have not learned this.

In films, we often see the protagonist riding with a light leather travel bag. How does he do it? We always have a full suitcase going ...

How are we going on the road

Every time we say - fly light, but in the end a lot of things are going to. At the last minute, something is reported into the suitcase with the words: "just in case ...", "it can come in handy if ..." and so on.

So, before answering the question: “How to pack a suitcase to Vietnam?”, We will explain and advise something.

Than, in our opinion,good vietnam for travelers

• It is always warm here. Shorts, light pants, T-shirts, T-shirts, shirts, light beach shoes, a swimsuit, a hat or a baseball cap are a good list. For doubters - a windbreaker or blouse, sneakers.
• Here you can buy or buy all the necessary clothes if necessary, especially if your sizes are small and standard. Everything that may be needed for a beach holiday is sewn and sold in Vietnam, and of good quality. This applies to both clothes and shoes. For sure, buy Vietnamese flip flops in Vietnam without any problems.
• Cosmetics are everywhere. There are specialized stores and departments in supermarkets that sell Korean and Japanese "brand" cosmetics. And the Vietnamese should not be discounted.

• Creams "for", "after", "from" tanning can also be bought freely. But if in doubt - take yours. And if suddenly burnt in the sun - at any fruit layout or in the supermarket sell aloe leaves. There is no better cure for sunburn. It is checked on itself more than once.
• In any supermarket or small shop you can buy the necessary toiletries and toiletries. Moreover, good quality.
• Suitcases and bags. If suddenly there are more souvenirs you have bought than your suitcase can fit - you can buy an additional one. Moreover, bags and suitcases sell all kinds of quality and price.
• And if it starts to rain, you can buy a raincoat, an umbrella or a jacket here.

All this we say to the fact that you should not bother much and carry suitcases of clothes, shoes, hats, creams, cosmetics and perfumes with you. Most likely, you’ll take everything home without using it once, and in Vietnam, buy something new anyway.

So how do you pack your suitcase, what to bring with you

1. Medication. All that you usually take when you are at home. We call this an "first aid kit." This is especially important if you are traveling with children or taking some special medications.

Many global trends are produced and sold in Vietnam (Vincom Shopping Center in Ho Chi Minh City)

In Vietnam, the pharmacy may not have drugs with the usual names and you will be asked to name the active substance in order to offer an analogue. And many medicines may not sell without a prescription. Therefore, in this matter it is better to "overtake".

2. Clothing if you have a large size.

All clothes can be bought in Vietnam and it costs a penny here. But if your size is more than 48 - it is better to play it safe and bring the most necessary clothes with you.

It is important to remember that in Vietnam the sun is aggressive, burns even dark skin. Therefore, sunscreen and loose clothing covering all exposed areas are necessary. It is especially necessary to protect oneself at the beginning of the journey.

We always look with regret at people who boldly expose themselves to the sun on the first day. Imagine what they will be tomorrow.

3. Shoes if you have a size above 42 (men) and 38 (women).

Of course, there is one here too, but less often. She must be sought.

Men's crocodile leather shoes. Shoes for an amateur, but cool.

On this our list of obligatory things ends.

1. Washing. Laundry. A question that will surely arise in a long journey

Firstly, each hotel offers laundry and ironing services. As a rule, they indicate the cost per unit, and the result is expensive.

Secondly, you can stay in apartments with a washing machine. We really like this option. Now in many Vietnamese cities the choice of apartments is impressive. We rented apartments in Nyachang, Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City.

Thirdly, you can use the laundry service. Such "Laundry" are found everywhere in resort areas. The service costs $ 1-2 per kg. Some things can be asked to wash with your hands, and not with a machine. It’s only worthwhile to clarify that you’ll wash your clothes.

We estimate our experience of using such a service at 3+. Maybe just out of luck. Our things were returned not ironed and very dry, although at first they promised to stroke. To the remark, they answered that now everything will be fixed.

But things remained crumpled, they managed it themselves. We understand that in Vietnam ironing is not accepted. The second minus - beige pants in white stripes after washing became almost white and without stripes. It remains to guess at what temperature and with which thermonuclear powder they were washed. There was nothing valuable among things, experience gained. Therefore, we try to do without laundries.

Unfortunately, self-service laundries were not seen in Vietnam. This is an omission, of course.

1. Baggage for air flight.

We have a rule, the correctness of which is confirmed by life situations. We always take stock of clothes for the first time in hand luggage. Especially if we fly from home to Vietnam.

Situations happen different, even if you fly without a transplant and not for long. The last time from Kiev to Cyprus (3-hour non-stop flight), our luggage went to us for 3 days. Forgot to send, it happens. And what can happen when the flight is 20 hours and 2 connections, it remains to dream up.

1. Luggage storage at the hotel.

As a rule, we fly to Vietnam in April, when it is still cool in Kiev. Of course, we try to fly out of the house with a minimum of warm clothes. In Ho Chi Minh City, we pack all these warm clothes in a suitcase or bag and leave in the hotel's luggage room

This service is provided free of charge by almost every hotel. Problems with the storage of our luggage did not arise even in 5 trips. And it didn’t matter if we stayed in this hotel later or not. At any time, you can call in and pick up your luggage from the left luggage office. You will be given a check that they took the luggage with the number of seats.

We even had situations when we stopped at a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City in order to leave some things, collect the suitcase again, return it to the storage room and continue the journey. Very convenient and necessary service.

Summary, almost everything that you do not bring with you - you can buy in Vietnam, so do not carry heavy suitcases with you.

We will be grateful if you support our project and share the article with your friends on social networks.

Even if you are healthy (Sincerely happy for you!), Then we recommend that you take a minimum of medications with you, just in case.

Vietnam is a long road, unfamiliar products for the body, the same "alien" and water. The scorching sun, winds, bloodthirsty insects are also worth mentioning. Given the above, and not only, we make a list of drugs on the go.

We put those drugs that you take regularly if you have chronic diseases. Here everyone will have a list.

Climate change can cause disruptions in the body that result in headaches and fever. For this reason, we take antipyretic drugs and painkillers. The latter will come in handy in case of injuries, if any.

Acquaintance with local insects will not keep you waiting, so we take insect repellents: fumigators, spirals, sprays, creams. If the buzzing inhabitants of Vietnam nevertheless got to your body, then preparations for an insect bite will help you. And they must be in your medicine cabinet.

Acquaintance with another country involves tasting local culinary masterpieces, and simply quenching thirst or savoring exotic fruits and vegetables. You can not predict the reaction of your stomach, so take along with yourself drugs that normalize the digestive tract.

Allergy sufferers, and travelers who are simply prone to allergic reactions, must bring along allergy medications.

We don’t want to scare, but microbes accompany us everywhere. Vietnamese germs are not familiar to our European body. Take antiseptic wipes or sprays on the road with which you can safely wipe, spray those items that you and your children will take on. To treat wounds and all kinds of skin lesions, put antibacterial agents in the medicine cabinet.

And be sure to take preparations from Vietnam for sunlight. The hot sun mercilessly burns the bodies of tourists, arrogantly believing that their skin was not so worried. Since they touched on the theme of the sun, clothes can also protect against it on vacation.

The minimum set of clothing for a vacation in Vietnam

Take light and natural clothing covering your limbs. It can be a dress, tunic, pareo, light pants, etc. These clothes will come in handy for visiting temples. Of course, for the beach we take shorts, T-shirts, t-shirts, etc.

Sunglasses too oh how useful!

Warm sweaters or sweaters are not needed. Take a raincoat with you if you go during the rainy season (November to April). Although you can buy it in Vietnam: they are sold everywhere and inexpensively.

Headgear do not forget. You can buy a national Vietnamese hat on the spot.

Remember: if the legs are well, then the body is resting, the head is not occupied with extraneous thoughts. We take the shoes sparse and already "familiar" with roads and paths. High heel shoes are not needed. Shoes should be lightweight, comfortable, “breathable”.
