Medicine in Vietnam can be bought without prescription but you may find it hard to get the right brand name that you used to take. So it is advisable to bring some kinds of commonly-used medicine with you and your prescription showing elements of your medicine. Take a look at our “keep yourself healthy” guide to let your children know what should do and what should not to stay healthy during the trip. If your kids long for some local cuisine but you are not sure about the safety of these foods, just see how many local people are in the restaurant.

Transportation
The traffic in Vietnam is quite messy. Public transport system is safe but overcrowded and run-down, thus the journey is quite bumpy; driving motorbikes or cycling, on the other hand, is quite dangerous for inexperienced tourists. Therefore, for a family travel, taking a taxi and walking would be the best options. The average taxi fare is about 12,000-15,000 VND per kilometer (2011). It is necessary for kids as well as the elderly to bring a note of their family contacts, including name, address, telephone and so on, in case of getting lost (Check out our To-Pack and Not-to-pack list for your trip).
