Tet in Vietnam: The Survival Guide Nobody Gives You

Planning Tet in Vietnam 2026? This is your no-fluff survival guide before you book flights, hotels, and transport. In this video, we break down the biggest mistakes tourists and expats make during Vietnamese Lunar New Year and how to avoid them. Every year, travelers expect festivals, food, and celebration, then get hit by closed businesses, empty streets, surge pricing, transport disruptions, and cultural misunderstandings. One bad assumption during Tet can cost you time, money, and a big part of your trip. Attorney Ken Duong explains how Tet really works on the ground in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, and Hoi An: when cities go quiet, why transport becomes unpredictable, how to plan around closures, and what to do when apps, ATMs, and normal routines stop working like usual. We also cover practical scam prevention during peak holiday conditions, including taxi pricing traps, menu-price surprises, and cash/ATM risk moments that catch even experienced travelers off guard. Whether you are a first-time visitor or long-term expat, this guide helps you stay prepared and reduce stress. If you need help with Vietnam visas, TRC, work permits, or business setup, contact details are in the description. Comment your city and Tet travel dates so we can create a city-specific checklist in a future video.
