Extreme situations are loss of things, documents, disease or trauma. In addition, by negligence and with a strong desire, you can get lost. Natural disasters in Vietnam in the high tourist season does not happen. Criminality exists in the form of "petty" thefts and fraud in Hanoi and especially in Ho Chi Minh City. In Vietnam there is no terrorist threat, nationalism and religious extremism.
If you lost property or documents - contact the representative of your travel agency. After having lost the documents, inform the embassy or consulate of Russia. To prevent the loss of valuable property, store things and documents in the hotel safe. With you carry a photocopy of your passport pages. Do not put money in the back pockets and outside of the bags. Hold the bags, backpacks, photo and video cameras so that they can not be grabbed by a passing motorcyclist.
When planning your domestic travels around Vietnam, take two or three photos with a size of approximately 3x4 cm, in case you can make any documents. Vietnam is a rather bureaucratic country. Government office hours: 7:30 - 16:30. Weekends: Saturday and Sunday.
In order not to get lost, remember the name of the settlement and the hotel where you left off. Have a business card of the hotel in Vietnamese and the phone number of the representative of your travel agency. Getting lost, show the locals a business card - most likely, this will be enough to restore your orientation in space.
