Driving and onward travel
- Scooters: Common and cheap, but accidents are frequent; roads are unlit outside town. A Vietnamese licence or 1968 IDP is required.
- Driving: on the right. Only 1968-Convention IDPs are valid (US ones aren't); unlicensed scooter riding is common but voids most insurance.
