Dress: Wear modest, breathable clothing—long pants/skirts and covered shoulders in rural areas and temples; closed shoes for farm or conservation work.
Behaviour: Speak softly, listen more than you teach, and ask before photographing locals or children. Remove shoes when entering homes or temples. A guest shared: “Humility and respect opened every door in the village.”
Customs: Accept tea or snacks when offered (a sign of hospitality); avoid pointing feet at people or Buddha statues; tipping is not expected but small gifts (school supplies, toys) are appreciated.
Tip: Learn 5–10 local phrases; bring reusable water bottles and eco-friendly toiletries to align with sustainable Vietnam Travel and Laos Travel. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen cultural respect turn volunteers into family.”
General Tips:
Language: English is limited in rural areas; use translation apps or simple gestures.
Respect: Follow project leaders; avoid giving money directly to children (donate via schools).
