The best packing lists for Vietnam

Vietnam runs more than 1,600 kilometres and holds three distinct climates. Travelling from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta means packing for both ends: the north is cool and damply cold from December to February, properly chilly in Sapa, while the south stays warm all year.

Good to know for Vietnam

The south takes its rain mainly from May to October, whereas the centre around Hue and Hoi An gets it from September to November, with flooding at times. A rain poncho is both more common and more practical there than an umbrella.

A lot happens on motorbikes and boats, from Ha Long Bay to the delta canals. A waterproof phone pouch and a rain jacket you can pull on quickly matter more than heavy luggage.

Outlets accept flat pins as readily as the European round plug, at 220 volts. Pagodas expect covered shoulders and knees. The dong is the currency, and the water you drink comes in bottles.
