Cam Ranh Bay’s beauty has been well known for a long time. Mountains and sea are combined to form a masterpiece of the natural marvels throughout Cam Ranh. The bay maintains major contrasting colors: the white color of sand, the blue color of the sea and sky, and the green from mountains and trees all year long.

ETIQUETTE

1. Vietnamese Values – The Vietnamese people value humility, restraint, and modesty. Avoid being boastful or showing off wealth. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon so try to avoid touching people of the opposite sex. Dress conservatively and keep your body covered. The Vietnamese culture has a great respect for the elderly. In every situation, it is best to give honor and preference to the eldest member of the group.
 
2. Proper Etiquette for Visiting Religious Sites or Other Tourist Sites – Make sure to avoid wearing tight-fitting, overly short attire. Women should ensure that they wear a shirt with sleeves and shorts should come at least to the knee. Remove hats when visiting a sacred site (unless your religion requires wearing one). Do not point the soles of your feet toward anyone or any sacred statues, such as Buddha. This is considered very disrespectful.
 
3. Proper Eating and Drinking Etiquette – Don’t eat until the oldest person at the table begins eating and make sure to eat all the food you are given, this is seen as a compliment. It is offensive to leave food on a plate. If you need to pick your teeth, cover your mouth with your hand. Don’t play with your chopsticks. Avoid clicking the bowl or hitting the table with your chopsticks and don’t hold your chopstick vertically straight up otherwise it would be very disrespectful.
 
4. What to Wear in Vietnam – Overall, modest dress is considered the norm in Vietnam. However, you will find that in resort areas with a high concentration of tourists this may not be the case. When traveling throughout Vietnam, it is generally a good idea to wear long shorts and avoid revealing shirts. Covered shoulders and shorts to the knees provide an appropriate amount of coverage.
 

ELECTRICITY

For Vietnam, there are three associated plug types, types A, C and F. Plug type A is the plug which has two flat parallel pins, plug type C is the plug with two round pins and plug type F has two round pins with two earth clips on the side. Vietnam operates on a 220V supply voltage and 50Hz.

MONEY

The official currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese “Dong” or in the shorter way, Dong. At this stage, there are two versions of Vietnam currency are in use: the Polymer note (500,000 VND, 200,000 VND, 100,000 VND, 50,000 VND, 20,000 VND, and 10,000 VND) and Cotton note (5,000 VND, 2,000 VND, 1,000 VND, 500 VND, and 200 VND). However, the last two cotton notes are rarely used since the value is too small.

Major currency bills are cashed easily at hotels, tourist shops, all provincial banks, shopping centers and money changers. Travelers’ cheques is no longer used in Vietnam, so we advised to bring US Dollars, AU Dollars, European or GB Pound, and exchange into the local currency on arrival.

Credit cards are widely accepted.

CAM RANH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Cam Ranh International Airport only has one exit, so our organizing team is going to meet all of the delegates outside the airport.
