    Stress-free entry with Vietnam Travel by LegendStress-free entry with Vietnam Travel by Legend (Source: Internet)

    Respecting local customs enhances your Vietnam Travel and Cambodia Travel experience:

    • Greetings: Use “xin chào” (Vietnam) or “soksabai” (Cambodia) with a smile.

    • Dress Modestly: Cover shoulders and knees at temples (e.g., Angkor Wat, Temple of Literature).

    • Behavior: Remove shoes before entering homes or temples; avoid pointing feet at Buddha statues.

    • Tipping: Not expected but appreciated (20,000 VND / 4,000 KHR).

    Tony Bùi’s Insight: “In 20 years of guiding Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours, I’ve seen respectful travelers enjoy deeper connections—and zero visa issues.”
