What is the Wi-Fi situation in Vietnam? Points that tourists should know

Vietnam is known for its beautiful nature, rich culture, and delicious food.

Internet access is also one of the key points for tourists.

This time, I would like to introduce the local WiFi and internet situation in Vietnam.

I will tell you information about using Wi-Fi in Vietnam so that travelers can use the internet comfortably.

What is the Wi-Fi environment in Vietnam?

Wi-Fi is very popular in Vietnam's urban areas, and free Wi-Fi is available in many places.

In major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Danang, Wi-Fi is provided in cafes, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, etc.

Public Wi-Fi

Many cafes and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi if you place an order.

If you ask the clerk for the password, they'll tell you.

Also, free public Wi-Fi is sometimes installed in large shopping malls and tourist spots.

The only places where there is a possibility that WiFi cannot be used in stores are cafeterias and outdoor food stalls.

Airport Wi-Fi

WiFi can also be used at airports in Vietnam.

It's free, and there are no password restrictions, so everyone can easily connect.

However, the internet speed is pretty slow.

In that case, use the Wi-Fi at the store attached to the airport.

There are many cases where passwords are applied, so be sure to check with the clerk.

Hotel Wi-Fi

Most hotels offer free Wi-Fi to their guests.

It's a good idea to check if there is Wi-Fi when making a reservation.

Free Wi-Fi is offered as a standard service not only in luxury hotels, but also in mid-range to low cost hotels.

How to use Wi-Fi in Vietnam?

Set up a network and search for the corresponding WiFi ID.

The name of the store is often used as an ID, so it's easy to search for it.

Then press the connect button.

Most stores are locked, so you'll be taken to a password screen, so if you don't know, ask the staff.

It's listed on the bottom of a cafe receipt, and it may also be attached to a landline phone at a hotel.

You will be able to use WiFi immediately after entering your password.

Please note that some stores, such as Starbucks, set a limit on the time of one internet connection.

SIM card and mobile Wi-Fi

If you want a more stable internet connection, or if you want to use the internet while on the move, it is convenient to use a SIM card or mobile Wi-Fi router.

Buying a SIM card

After arriving in Vietnam, you can buy a prepaid SIM card at the airport or mobile phone shops in the city.

Major telecom operators in Vietnam include Viettel, Mobifone, and Vinaphone.

If you buy a SIM card from one of these operators, you can easily use the internet.

Prices vary depending on data capacity, but are around $2-3 per GB.

MOBILE WIFI ROUTER

Renting a mobile Wi-Fi router is convenient when you want to connect to the internet even in places where WiFi is not available, or if you want to connect various devices at the same time.

You can rent them at the airport or online, and you can use them throughout your trip.

Let's rent one before leaving the country.

Tips for using Wi-Fi safely

When using Wi-Fi in Vietnam, you should also pay attention to security.

By adhering to the following points, you can use the internet safely.

Use WIFI with a password

Free public Wi-Fi is convenient, but it can be less secure.

If possible, use Wi-Fi with a password.

Wi-Fi in hotels and cafes is generally passworded, so it is highly secure.

Don't connect to suspicious networks

Among Wi-Fi networks offered in public places, there are also fake networks created by hackers.

Only connect to trusted networks and don't connect to suspicious networks.

Advice on using the internet locally

Gathering Information Online

Use local blogs and travel sites when searching online for local information, such as Vietnamese tourist information and restaurant reviews.

TripAdvisor and Google Maps reviews are very helpful.

Using SNS

Facebook is very popular in Vietnam.

It's also a good idea to follow the local Facebook page to get the latest information on tourist spots and restaurants.

You can also find the latest tourist information and beautiful photos by searching Vietnam hashtags on Instagram.

Using translation apps

If you don't understand Vietnamese, you can use a translation app to facilitate communication.

Google Translate can also do voice translation and camera translation.

It will help you communicate with local people.

summary

Vietnam has a Wi-Fi environment for tourists, and there are almost no problems with internet access.

You can use the internet comfortably by using free Wi-Fi at cafes, restaurants, and hotels, or by using a SIM card or mobile Wi-Fi router.

Please enjoy your trip to Vietnam even more while keeping the points for using Wi-Fi safely.
