General
Q. Can I make changes to my
itinerary after I arrive?
A. Yes, as long as it's possible. We
will give you a quotation and issue a receipt or refund as appropriate.
We consider minor changes involving minimal or no costs as part of the service
and make no charge in such circumstances.
Q. Are there any restrictions
on photography in Vietnam?
A. Yes. Photography in or near military
installations, airports or similar locations is prohibited. Anyone caught
doing taking photographs in restricted areas will have the film, and possibly
the camera or camcorder, confiscated, and may be arrested.
Q. Can I buy antiques in Vietnam?
A. A qualified yes, providing it is less
than a hundred years old. However, exporting an artefact that was made within
the last century is not straightforward. There are experts on hand at the
airport to verify the age of antiques, but the quality of fakes is very
high, so anything that looks old is liable to be confiscated.
Q. How can I take large items
home with me – furniture or paintings, for example?
A. We are also registered for export
and import activities. We will give you an ‘at cost' quotation, and arrange
for the items to be properly crated, licensed for export, and shipped or
flown to your home address.
Q. Are there Internet facilities
in Vietnam?
A. Yes, there are plenty in cities and
large towns, but not in rural areas. Most large hotels have Internet access,
and Internet cafes are commonplace and cheap.
Q. The artist you took me to
was wonderful. I want to give him a present. Any ideas?
A. This is a common query. If you want
to show your appreciation to someone in the form of a gift, we will try
to suggest something appropriate, and even purchase and deliver it on your
behalf, if necessary.
Q. I am from the United States.
Will I face any hostility because of the war?
A. You will be surprised by the warmth
of your reception. We Vietnamese live in the present and look forward to
the future – the war is history. We warmly welcome people from all countries
and races.
Q. What is the attitude towards
drugs in Vietnam?
A. The law is strict in Vietnam. The
use of illegal narcotics is strictly forbidden under any circumstances.
Dealers and people caught trafficking, whether Vietnamese or foreigner,
face execution. Don't be tempted to risk it!
