[Travel with children in Vietnam] Safety measures and activities for parents and children to enjoy

Health management during a trip to Vietnam

There are no particularly mandatory vaccines before traveling to Vietnam, but it is recommended that you get several vaccinations.

In particular, if you come from a country with a high risk of yellow fever, such as Africa or Central and South America, you may need to present a yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card).

Vaccinations against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and tetanus are recommended in Vietnam.

As for rabies, vaccination rates for dogs are low in Vietnam, so it is recommended to consider vaccination depending on the environment.

Talk to your nearest clinic or doctor about specific vaccinations.

Mosquito repellent measures

Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever have occurred in Vietnam.

There are no preventative drugs or specific drugs.

Along with measures such as wearing long sleeves and long pants, using insect repellent spray, etc., and using screen doors, measures to prevent the occurrence of mosquitoes by throwing away water from familiar puddles are also important.

What is the safety of food and drinking water that you are concerned about?

How to choose a restaurant

Vietnamese street food is delicious, but hygiene needs to be taken care of.

If children eat, it is advisable to choose well-heated foods and avoid raw vegetables and fruits.

When choosing a restaurant, it's important to choose a clean and reliable place.

Water Safety

In Vietnam, we recommend avoiding drinking tap water and using bottled water.

During the hot season, be especially careful of heatstroke, provide safe water for children in particular, and stay hydrated frequently.

What is the traffic situation in Vietnam?

Traffic conditions in Ho Chi Minh

Traffic jams occur frequently, especially in Ho Chi Minh City. Traffic rules are also different, so you need to be especially careful when traveling with children.

When using taxis or public transportation, choose reliable services and use child safety seats and strollers appropriately.

Renting a Car or Using a Car

If you're driving yourself, be especially careful until you get used to the local traffic rules.

If you rent a car, don't forget to use an appropriate child seat.

What is Vietnam's climate and appropriate clothing?

Vietnam has many hot days throughout the year, but depending on the region, there are places where the climate is cool in winter.

The south has clear dry and rainy seasons, and during the rainy season, we may be hit by squalls and heavy rain.

Clothes should be chosen according to the season and the region you are visiting.

Northern area (Hanoi, etc.)

Winter (December to February)

This is the coldest time of year, and temperatures drop especially in January and February.

Summer (May to October)

It is characterized by high humidity and heavy rain from May to September.

During the rainy season, the weather is overcast and the humidity is 80% or more, making it very hot.

The right season to travel

I recommend it because it's cool and easy to spend time from November to December.

Central area (Danang, etc.)

Late summer to winter (August to January)

There is a lot of rain during this period, and August to November is typhoon season.

Winter (December to February)

The temperature may drop below 20℃ and become cold.

The right season to travel

We recommend the period from March to August, when the typhoon's effects decrease.

In particular, the best time for scuba diving is April to May, and surfing is best from October to March when the waves are high.

Southern Area (Ho Chi Minh, etc.)

Dry season (November to mid-May)

The average temperature is 27 degrees, and it is hot all year round, but April and May in particular are the hottest, so you need to be careful about heatstroke.

Rainy season (May to October)

Since rain usually stops in 1 to 2 hours, the southern part of the country, which is less affected by typhoons, is unlikely to rain for a long time.

The right season to travel

We recommend the dry season from November to May, and especially from March to April in the sea around Vung Tau.

MASSAGE IN VIETNAM

The climate in various parts of Vietnam varies greatly from region to region, so it is important to check beforehand before visiting.

What is proper clothing for a trip to Vietnam?

Light cotton clothing and quick-drying materials are comfortable on hot days.

Also, it is important to bring a raincoat or folding umbrella during the rainy season.

We recommend sandals and sneakers that are easy to walk on.

In shopping facilities and restaurants, the air conditioning is too effective and it can be cold, so bring a light jacket.

Also, if you're going to the northern area, check the weather beforehand and bring a jacket.

summary

Vietnam is a fun destination for families, but advance preparation and local care must be taken.

If you plan your trip based on these points, you'll be able to have a safe and enjoyable experience with your kids.

Enjoy beautiful nature, rich culture, and delicious food for the whole family.
