Navigation: Save “Chau Doc, An Giang Province” or “Long Xuyen, An Giang Province” in offline maps (Maps.me). Write destinations in Vietnamese (e.g., “Chợ Châu Đốc”) for drivers, as English may be limited.
Safety: Secure valuables on buses (keep bags on your lap); check for typhoons (June–December). For medical emergencies, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have private clinics, but consider evacuation insurance for advanced care in Singapore or Bangkok.
