duringFlight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Insect activity is higher in the Mekong Delta and rural areas than in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.

Sun & heat

Long motorbike and boat days mean more exposure than travellers expect. Sun sleeves and lip protection help.

foodWater

Bottled water and caution with ice are the usual approach. Street food is a highlight; rehydration sachets are worth carrying.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
