What should I pack when moving to Can Tho?
We asked people living in Can Tho to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Can Tho, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals, but also remember to pack a light rain jacket or umbrella as the region experiences heavy rainfall, especially during the monsoon season. Don't forget to pack your essential documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records. It's also a good idea to bring a photocopy of these documents in case of loss or theft. Pack a good quality insect repellent and sunscreen to protect yourself from mosquitoes and the sun. Also, consider packing a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any necessary prescription medications. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments that may be hard to find in Vietnam. Remember to pack your electronics like your laptop, phone, and chargers. An international power adapter is also necessary as the plug type in Vietnam might be different from your home country. Pack a few personal items that will make your new place feel like home. This could be photos, a favorite blanket or even some comfort food. Lastly, bring some cash for immediate expenses upon arrival, but remember that ATMs are widely available in Can Tho," said another expat in Can Tho, Vietnam.
