AN Tours Vietnam suggested safety tips for solo travelers

1. Make a specific plan before going solo travel in Ho Chi Minh City:

Planning ahead of the trip is the most important thing when traveling solo. Research all the information about Ho Chi Minh City, see hotel reviews, and book in advance. Tourists should contact the places they want to visit and contact AN Tours Vietnam for guidance as well as to learn about the places where they can solo travel in Ho Chi Minh City. 

2. Always keep in touch with family and close friends:

Information about hotel reservations and flight tickets to family and friends can help travelers know if they have a problem. Keep in touch and always update your family on the situation; this is necessary when solo traveling in a strange country.

3. Keep valuable items carefully:

Don’t bring too much cash, expensive jewelry, or passports on the road because if you are unlucky, the scammers will look at you. Always keep an eye on your handbag; don’t wear too big bags; and do not leave your phone and money in your pants pocket.

4. Do not go out at midnight:

Try to arrange a fun schedule and solo travel in Ho Chi Minh City during the daytime; do not go to deserted places at midnight because tourists will be in danger. Going out at midnight also makes it difficult for tourists to determine direction and easily get lost.
