Rules in force · 8Drug trafficking can carry the death penalty in Singapore…Order tailored clothes on your first day in town

Southeast Asia ↗Drug trafficking can carry the death penalty in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Brunei and Myanmar; never carry a bag or parcel for anyone.
Southeast Asia ↗Carry a passport valid for at least six months from entry with two blank pages; airlines refuse boarding on less.
Vietnam ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal; lookalike sites charge extra.
Vietnam ↗Crossing streets: walk slowly and steadily; motorbikes flow around you — do not stop or run.
Vietnam ↗Carry Vietnamese đồng in small notes; many stalls and taxis are cash-only.
Central Coast ↗September–December is typhoon and flood season on this coast: build a spare day into any plan and check the storm forecast before booking boats, passes or beach nights.
Hoi An ↗Order tailored clothes on your first day in town: a good tailor needs 24–48 hours and at least one fitting before the final piece.
Hoi An ↗October–November: the riverside streets flood most years; check the forecast and your hotel's street level before booking.

Is it the real local food?

The recipes are local; the setting and prices are for visitors. Try the market for the same dishes cheaper.
