    Cultural Etiquette for Cross-Border Bus Travel

    Respecting Local Customs Across Three Nations

    Traveling by bus means immersing in local life—here’s how to do it respectfully:

    • Greetings: Use “xin chào” (Vietnam), “sua sdei” (Cambodia), “sabaidee” (Laos) with a smile and slight bow.

    • Dress: Cover shoulders and knees when visiting temples (e.g., Angkor Wat, Wat Phou).

    • Behaviour: Keep voices low on buses; offer seats to monks or elders; remove shoes before entering homestays.

    • Customs: No photos of military checkpoints; tip drivers 20,000 VND / 10,000 KHR / 20,000 LAK if service is exceptional.

    • Tip: Say “cảm ơn” / “arkun” / “khob chai” to show gratitude. Tony Bùi notes: “Small gestures open big doors in Southeast Asia.”

    General Tips:

    • Language: Carry a multilingual phrase card—English, Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao.

    • Respect: Never point feet at Buddha images or people.

    • Eco-Tip: Refill water bottles at Legend Travel Group stations—say no to single-use plastic.
