Keep Valuables Hidden
Use a money belt or neck pouch under clothing. Leave passport copies with family and carry only a photocopy when exploring.

All Legend Travel Group hotels and vehicles supply unlimited purified water.
Respect Local Customs
Dress modestly at temples, remove shoes when required, and never point feet at Buddha images or people.
