Vietnam is a totally safe place to visit. Although you may encounter petty crimes such as pickpocketing and minor scams, just take extra precaution and you will have a safe and happy trip. In major cities and in popular destinations, crimate rate is very low and it is safe to walk alone at night even if you travel by yourself.

In the majority of cases the answer to this question is yes, though passport holders of certain Asian nations are permitted an exemption for stays of up to 15 days.

For visitors holding UK, US or Australian passports you will need to ensure that you have arranged a visa in advance of travel to Vietnam. Both Cambodia and Laos offer a visa on arrival option, though in Cambodia arranging this in advance using the new online e-visa service can avoid delays on arrival.

It really depends on your budget and preference to choose between small group tour or fully tailored journey.
