7 Essential Travel Tips for First-Time Visitors to Ho Tram

Planning a trip to Ho Tram? This quiet beach town just a few hours from Ho Chi Minh City is known for its beautiful coastline, fresh seafood, and slow local rhythm. But before you go, here are 7 quick tips to help you enjoy your trip like a local:

1. Bring cash (and small bills!) Most local restaurants and vendors don’t accept cards. Small change helps when buying snacks or drinks on the go.

2. Book your stay in advance — especially on weekends Ho Tram gets busy with weekend visitors. Guesthouses and resorts fill up quickly! If you want to book for your stays, you can contact us and we will support for your needs.

3. Watch for jellyfish during certain months If you're swimming, ask locals or lifeguards. Jellyfish tend to appear in late summer.

4. Wake up early Mornings are the best time to feel the town’s true vibe: fishermen returning, markets opening, cool sea breeze.

5. Eat where locals eat The best meals are often at street stalls or family-run kitchens with no signs — just follow the crowd.

6. Respect beach cleanliness Bring a bag, don’t litter. Locals take pride in their beaches.

7. Learn a few Vietnamese words A simple “cảm ơn” (thank you) or “ngon quá” (so tasty!) always brings a smile.
