越南是在東南亞國家中比較便宜而又受背包旅客歡迎的一個國家。不過如果你從來沒有去過越南的話,那你會需要一點時間適應。越南對旅遊業有很高的依賴,所以你自由行時挑選一日遊旅行社和酒店時也要非常小心。我在越南中部旅遊了16天和犯下五個錯誤之後,開始對這個國家有一點認知,以下我帶來越南生存必知:

越南盾和美金

越南盾是一個較弱的貨幣,所以當地有不少地方也會接受美金。大多數時間,這些美金的數額已經一早定下。雖然它的匯率不怎樣,可以總比找換成越南盾更方便。以下我簡單地說一下那些什麼時候應該美金和越南盾:

應該:

  • 用美金去付酒店和旅行社費用
  • 在出發前找換一些越南盾
  • 隨身攜帶一些小面額的美金,可在一些越南盾匯率較差的地方使用
  • 熟悉一下越南盾(它們的數額比較大)

不應該:

  • 讓小販和計程車司機知道你有美金
  • 找換太多越南盾

小貼士:用不同的銀包去放美金和越南盾-那就不會給別人看到!

越南交通

會安人力車
如果想坐人力車,最好在事前先談好價錢

去越南的背包客最喜歡買一輛摩托車由越南的一邊行駛到另一端。不過除非你不怕死或是對摩托車很熟悉,我不建議你這樣做。我從來沒有見過比越南更恐怖的交通狀況。在每一戶也至少有一輛電單車的情況下,一條雙行線上幾乎可以有六輛摩托車在行駛。而大多數司機也不會遵守交通規則,以致到馬路好像打仗一樣。一開始時,我連過馬路也覺得很危險會等很久, 不過漸漸地我摸索了幾條道理:

摩托車和單車會遷就你

其實大多數越南司機也習慣有行人在路上,所以摩托車和單車都會遷就所有行人。不過這並不適用於以外的車輛,所以如果有一輛四人車的話,那你最好就等它過後才過馬路。

在馬路邊行走很正常

越南城市的行人道其實狀況並不太好,所以大多數人都會在馬路邊行走。大部分車輛都已熟悉這情況,不過在晚上行走時當然要更小心。在會安時,我和我的朋友不只一次在晚上步行40分鐘回去我們住宿地方。 除了街燈比較少之外並沒有什麼問題。

計程車

注:現在可以在越南用Grab去打車,可以直接在地圖上標好起點和終點,車資也會預先標明,一路上也可以在地圖上看著車的位置,比較安全。

在沒有公共交通也不自己租買一輛摩托車的情況之下只有計程車可以用。越南有不少計程車公司專門為了遊客存在,而也沒有太貴。不過不少的士司機會趁機會騙錢,以下有幾個小貼士:

拍下他的車牌

這確保他並不會做出任何會令你舉報他的行動。在會安的第一晚,我們的計程車司機想收我們兩倍價錢,我們在拍下他車牌的情況下令他讓步。

確認跳錶

在上車之前和司機確認一下是用跳錶計算。這其實是一個法律要求,不過這並不阻止一些的士司機走後門。

用google map確認一下你要去的地方

很多時候司機的英文不太好,用google map就可以安全地列出最快的路程和你的目的地。我們其中一個司機在蜆港想帶我們不停地遊花園,而我們很快的就用google map確認了我們接近目的地下車。

 

城市和城市之間的交通

我們大多時間都在越南中部,發現有不少旅遊巴專門送遊客由一個城市去另一個城市,也會途經不少景點。

旅遊巴

有空調又少人的旅遊巴

除了在會安到順化是坐計程車之外, 我們在越南中部大多時間都是用TNT—一間當地旅行社的旅遊巴來往。它的價錢比我們在網上見到的專車便宜很多, 而大多時間那些還是滿空的,而且也有空調和水供應。

睡眠巴士

人頂人的睡眠巴士

雖然我沒有乘搭過,不過我在路上有見過不少這種巴士,也和乘搭過這種巴士的人聊過天。由於越南的交通和通道比較差,再加上睡眠巴士的燈光好像是開夜店一樣,我並不建議你用這種交通方法。不過我不得不承認這是最經濟實惠的交通公具,可是你會因為一天晚上都睡不好而浪費你到達時的那一天。

火車

火車是否上面巴士更好的一個選擇, 而最後的情況是你和你的朋友們共用一個火車室。要小心的一個點就是會有人來偷你的東西,所以請緊記把行李鎖好。

專車

如果你需要在非正常時間有一個地方去另一個地方的話,那最好就是包車出入。我們由蜆港機場到順化就是包車。想當年網上選擇不多,不過這在有很多包車出入的選擇:

越南安全嗎?

帶我去越南前不少家人和朋友也很擔心,說它是一個不安全的國家。可是除了交通安全意外,我一點也不覺得越南是不安全。可能是我和我的朋友看起來很像本地人,我們兩個女生在晚上在順化會安和峰牙也沒有遇過什麼問題。 我覺得唯一需要擔心就是被騙或是旅行陷阱。

越南飲食

老實說,作為一個第三國家,你也不會期望越南的食物衛生有多好。雖然我一向也十分喜歡在香港的越式餐廳,可是我在越南經過幾天後才慢慢喜歡上正宗越南菜式。可是水土不服也是難以避免。以下有幾樣我留意到越南菜的特點:

老實說,我很少會全都食掉

很多香草和青檸: 差不多每一樣我們叫的餐點也會附送一大堆香草,菜和青檸。香港很多餐廳不會附上蔬菜,尤其是午餐時段,所以這對我來說是十分新鮮。不過都是附送的,所以加不加隨你。

如果你肚痛的話就不要加冰—很多時候我和我的朋友都是在喝了有冰的飲料後才肚痛。

住宿

越南是我去過這麼多國家中最便宜的一個住宿地方, 不過這並不代表所有住宿都是好的。我們在蜆港的一個酒店不但沒有清潔房間,連水龍頭有沒有。不過我覺得最需要習慣的是開放式沖涼。在香港歐洲等地方大多數都是有隔的洗澡地方,不過在越南都是開放式的。
