What should I pack when moving to Ha Long Bay?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Ha Long Bay to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Ha Long Bay, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. A light jacket or sweater is also recommended for cooler evenings or unexpected rain showers. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the bay and its surrounding areas. Swimwear is a must if you plan on enjoying the beautiful beaches and waters of the bay. Also, pack a hat, sunglasses, and a high SPF sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. In terms of toiletries, it's advisable to bring travel-sized essentials for the first few days. However, most items can be purchased locally. If you have specific brands or products you can't live without, it's better to bring them with you. Remember to pack any necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair. For electronics, bring a universal adapter as Vietnam uses Type A, C, and D plugs. Lastly, pack some formal attire in case you need to attend any special events or functions. Vietnamese people appreciate modest dressing, so avoid revealing clothes. Remember to leave some space in your suitcase for souvenirs and other items you may purchase during your stay in Ha Long Bay," remarked another expat who made the move to Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.
