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.
Da Nang ↗At Mỹ Khê and the other city beaches, a red flag or an empty lifeguard post means no swimming; rip currents peak from September to January.
Da Nang ↗From September to December keep one spare day in any central-coast plan: storms close beaches, the Hải Vân Pass and some flights at short notice.

3Point and ask 'bao nhiêu?' before sitting; pay when you finish.
4Buy dried goods only after checking the same item in a supermarket; ask for vacuum or sealed packing for flights.
