Health & traveller's Medical Kit

Health: Travellers to Vietnam should take precautions as they would elsewhere in Asia. There are now a number of international standard medical care facilities available in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Outside the cities, medical care facilities are basic. We strongly recommend you consult your preferred doctor for the most up to date health advice at least one month prior to travel.

We also suggest you bring a simple medical kit. Your doctor should advise you what to include, however as a minimum we suggest you bring:

Aspirin or paracetamol (for pain or fever)
Antihistamines (for allergies and itches)
Cold and flu tablets
Anti diarrhea medication
Something appropriate for nausea and vomiting
Rehydration mixture (to prevent dehydration)
Insect repellant
Antiseptic and bandages
Sunscreen and lip balm
Antibiotics (discuss with your doctor)
As part of our travel registration process at the start of any journey with Relaxl Indochina, you will be asked to declare any serious pre-existing medical conditions or allergies.

Swimming: Swimming at the many beaches and bays in Vietnam is usually safe. On occasion jellyfish can be found in the waters around Vietnam, the most likely time of year they are present is during the months of June through to August in the north, and during the months of August and September in the south. Swimming can still be enjoyed during these months, however please be aware and exercise some caution.

Food/ Water: Vietnamese cuisine is diverse and tasty and one of the many highlights of a visit to the country. Most food presented is well cooked, however some optional dishes may be served cold. Travellers should note that raw, cold food presents a higher risk of stomach upset than well cooked food. Breakfast is included each day on our tours and is usually a mix of buffet and continental style. Lunch should cost around $US4-10 and dinner approximately $US6-20, depending on the restaurant. Drinking local tap water is not recommended, even in hotels. Bottled water is readily available throughout Vietnam.
