Vietnam - one of the countries in demand among tourists. Every traveler should know what not to do in Vietnam. This will help avoid many troubles with local residents and law enforcement officials.
Cloth
Despite the fact that Vietnam is not a Muslim country, some dress code is recommended to be observed. On the beach, tourists can dress as they are used to, but in the city you should not walk with a naked torso. This is not considered a crime, but the locals will look judgmental.
Girls and women should not wear too short skirts or shorts, as well as sweaters with a deep neckline.
Sights
When visiting some attractions, you must follow certain rules:
- you cannot visit the temple with a naked torso, and you need to take off your shoes at the entrance;
- you cannot turn your back on the Buddha;
- the temple must be bypassed clockwise;
- you cannot speak loudly, shout or swear in the temple.
Violation of these rules may cause problems with the police.
Food
Before you try something, you need to find out what it is made of, so that there are no unpleasant consequences. Experienced tourists advise against eating street food. This is due to the fact that the dishes are made in unsanitary conditions. Food should be eaten where local citizens do it.
Tap water should not be consumed. This can provoke the onset of intoxication of the body.

However, representatives of other powers must follow some rules so as not to displease local residents and law enforcement agencies. Only in this case, the rest will go well, calmly and without unpleasant consequences.
