Cultural Etiquette for Vietnam and Laos Border Crossings

Respecting Indochina’s Shared Heritage

Cultural harmony enhances your journey during Vietnam Travel and Laos Travel. Here’s your essential guide:

  • Greetings: Use “xin chào” in Vietnam and “sabaidee” in Laos with a gentle nod or sampeah (palms together).

  • Behaviour: Speak softly at immigration; avoid pointing feet at Buddha statues or monks; remove shoes in sacred spaces.

  • Customs: Tipping is appreciated but not expected (20,000 VND / 50,000 LAK); avoid public displays of affection near religious sites.

  • Tip: Say “cảm ơn” (Vietnam) or “khob chai” (Laos) to officers and guides. Tony Bùi notes: “Respectful travelers create lifelong memories in Indochina.”

General Tips:

  • Language: English is common at borders; carry a phrase card for rural checkpoints.

  • Respect: No photography in immigration halls; support local artisans at border markets.

  • Navigation: Use offline maps (Maps.me) for crossings like Moc Bai or Friendship Bridge.
