Minh City, which are both modernized. All tourists in Vietnam,
except Thai and Philippine Nationals need a tourist Visa before
entering the Country. Health wise, Malaria is prevalent in
Vietnam, it would be best to bring with you anti-mosquito
lotions to prevent being bit.

weapons, Radio cassette Players are banned in the Island of
Bali, which is a prime tourist spot in Indonesia. Any object
with Chinese characters written on it, are also prohibited in
Bali.
Thailand

You would often see pictures of the king around the cities,
never make fun of him. The Thai also consider the head as the
highest part of the body, whether spiritual or physical. Refrain
from touching anybody in the head, and try not to point at
anything with your foot.
Malaysia
It's best to bring light and cool clothing in Malaysia. You
would usually find food stands in the cities selling the local
delicacies, "teh tarik" a creamed tea, and "roti canai" a type
of pancake, are a must try when you do
encounter them. Malaysia

Christian churches, Muslim Mosques and Buddhist and Hindu

that sell almost anything, in most parts of the country, even
inside malls. Tiagges are a good place to find souvenirs as well
as cheap goods.
General Tips
Each country in Asia has its own currency, although up-end
establishments will accept dollars, there are very few of these
around. It is best to have your money changed at the local bank.
Some hotels also offer money changing, but usually at a lower
exchange rate.
Pickpockets are present in most tourist spots, so be careful
with your valuables. Separate money from checks and credit
cards, have two sets if you can so that you won't be left dry if
you fall victim to a pickpocket.
