What should I pack when moving to Phan Thiet?

"Everything can be bought here so there is no need to take anything with you; unless quality clothes and shoes. I arrived 10 years ago with 1 suitcase of clothes and 5 kg chocolate," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Phan Thiet, Vietnam.

"When moving to Phan Thiet, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a mosquito net and insect repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes. Pack a first aid kit with basic medical supplies. Bring a few items that will help you adjust to the local culture, such as a phrasebook and a guidebook. Finally, don't forget to bring any important documents, such as your passport and visa," commented one expat who made the move to Phan Thiet, Vietnam.
