Must-try food in Vietnam 
Bun Cha Hanoi (Grilled Pork & Noodles)
If Pho is Hanoi’s number one dish, then Bun Cha ranks easily number two when it is regarded as a Hanoi local food favorite, where grilled pork and rice noodles are the stars and fresh herbs, sliced papaya, red chili and garlic are the supporting players. And you can add fried spring rolls to the mix to enjoy the dish in the most amazing way.

Cha Ca (Grilled & Fried Fish with Rice Noodles)
It is obvious that visitors will fall in love with the Hanoi food scene immediately just after tasting Cha Ca, the most unique food to try in this city. Cha Ca, a Northern Vietnamese specialty is created by pan-fried chunks of meaty, turmeric, dill, fatty skinned fish, peanuts, shrimp paste and rice noodles and other fresh ingredients. 

Pho (Noodle Soup)
This is the most popular dish in Hanoi as travelers love it for the savory broth and slow-cooked meat, both beef and chicken, and just around $2 US. I really like its condiments, especially the small but potent red peppers and freshly made rice noodles. Let’s try it, it is actually a cheap bowl of soup with ultra-fresh ingredients and slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth slices of beef or chicken.

Must-try food in Cambodia
Fish amok
Fish Amok is the representative of Khmer cuisine. This is a curry fish dish with coconut milk and “kroeung”. Kroeung is a special curry-like recipe made from different leaves and species. It possesses an extraordinary taste and is among the most vital ingredients in Cambodian kitchens.
Fish Amok look smooth like top-notch silk. It seems to melt immediately in your mouth once you have taken a bite. The dish is often placed in banana leaves, looking rustic yet delicate.

Kuy teav
Originating from China, Kuy Teav is now a delicacy of Cambodia and Southern Vietnam. It is a type of noodle soup that has rice noodles and minced pork as two main ingredients. Further toppings are also added to complete the taste of the dish.
Kuy Teav can be seen everywhere in Cambodia, from the simple food stalls on the streets to luxury fine-dining restaurants. This luscious dish is definitely fit for the gods.

Num banh chok
This is a popular dish for breakfast in Cambodia. It is indeed a variant of vermicelli noodles with snakehead gravy, fresh veggies, and herbs. Kroeung is an indispensable part of the dish as the taste of the gravy depends largely on it.
Each region would have its own way to make this dish. While Kampot people love to add dried shrimp, peanuts, and fish sauce to their dish, Siem Reap-ers prefer to have more garlic and coconut milk.  

Khmer curry
The red curry of Khmer people is another must-try food for Cambodia tours. Cambodian curry is far less spicy than the ones in other countries. In fact, it is a coconut-based chili soup, with just a little amount of chili only.
 

Most famous drinks you must try when traveling to Vietnam 
Egg coffee
Vietnam is pretty famous for its coffee and you will find coffee shops on every corner of every street. What you might not have known is that there are also a lot of specialty coffees, such as this deliciously frothy egg white coffee which you can purchase in certain cafes in Hanoi. A real treat after a long day sightseeing! Head to the Giang cafe (39 Nguyen Huu Huan) and Dinh Café (13 Đinh Tiên Hoàng) if you want to try it while in Hanoi.
Beer 
Ta Hien and Bui Vien are normally called "Pho Tay".
On Old Quarter of Hanoi, and near Hoan Kiem Lake, Ta Hien has been a famous spot for tourists, especially for foreigners. Moreover, you can explore the street food heaven in Vietnam.
Ta Hien is in Hanoi, what about Bui Vien? Bui Vien is the most interesting night street in Ho Chi Minh city. It is quite similar to Ta Hien, but it is much more vibrant, sounding and complicated as well. 

Wine of the locals (ethnic minorities)
With 54 ethnic minorities, Vietnam cuisines will never disappoint you. Each tribal group will surprise you with different unique food and drink. 
What about wine? Yes, when talking about Wine sticky, Vietnamese people will definitely think about this specialty of Kim Son province. It is made from the seeds of the sticky yellow flowers in the rural area in the Red River. Under the skilled hand of the locals, combined with natural water, the wine has a different taste and easy to recognize. 

Most famous drinks you must try when traveling to Cambodia
Angkor Beer
This brand is named after the iconic Angkor temples – the pride of all Cambodian people. The consumption of Angkor Beer could easily overweigh any other beer brands in this Golden Land. It has an impressive slogan: “My country, my beer”.
Angkor Beer contains 5.2% to 5.5% alcohol. It is lightly bitter and aromatic, which could easily satisfy even the most discerning beer fans.

Sra Sar
Sra Sar is the name of the traditional Cambodian rice wine. The wine is distilled from white rice and is consumed in ordinary days and important occasions. The alcohol content of rice wine is kinda high (up to 40%), but the locals love it.
Sra Sar also serves as a medical remedy. People believe it could cure muscle pains and be good for your stomach.

Teuk Ampau
Teuk Ampau, also known as sugar cane juice, is another savory drink to try in Cambodia. Sugarcane is not simply an ingredient to make sugar but it is also a favorite food as well as a beverage of Khmer people.
In the past, people tore apart the rind of the sugarcane and eat the inner part, which is exhausting and might make your mouth injured. Then the locals squeeze the juice out by machine. The juice is light green and sweet. Teuk Ampau tastes the best if adding some kumquat and ice to.

Sra Thnaot Chu
Sra Thnaot Chu is the Khmer name of palm wine. Sugar palm is the national plant of Cambodia and it plays an important role in the life of the locals. Sra Thnaot Chu can be said to be the country whisky of this golden land.
The wine is exceptionally fragrant and quite strong. Its taste is not similar to anything else, so don’t forget to take a sip once coming to this country.
 

Rainy Season in Cambodia lasts from May to September
When May knocks the door, the southeast monsoon arrives and Cambodia enters its wet season. There happens to be much rain, accounting for approximately 75% of the annual rainfall. The average daytime temperature falls between 25 and 27 only.
However, it does not mean it rains every time throughout the whole season. There would be little and infrequent downpour between May and July, but for the remaining months, it's raining cats and dogs. The frequency of rainfall is rather dense, also.

Rainy Season in Vietnam lasts from June to October 
- The North in which you can visit Hanoi, Dien Bien, Mo Chau or Halong Bay, Ninh Binh and Hagiang experiences the most rainfall between June and September. 
- Central Vietnam like Danang, Hoian, and Hue, rainfall happens during the winter months including October and November.

Do's and Don'ts in Vietnam 

With many different kinds of travel spots and especially safety, Vietnam is a perfect choice for a family holiday. However, there is something that you should pay attention to in order to have the most comfortable trip. 

Do's in Vietnam :

• Dress discreetly in public 
• Dress conservatively, especially for female travelers and children. The Vietnamese are quite conservative about their clothes, and it would be disrespectful to wear skimpy clothing in public. Dress appropriately not only to feel free to enjoy your trip but more importantly to show your respect to others and especially in sacred places like pagodas and temples.
• Be careful when crossing the roads
• Traffic jam is one of the most terrific things that frighten foreigners first time coming to Vietnam. Riding bikes or motorbikes will be such an unforgettable experience. But the story will be more interesting when you try to cross the roads in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city. Don’t stop as you cross the busy roads. Frightening as it can be, just keep walking. The traffic will avoid you. Pick a spot across the road, stare at it and keep walking, no matter what. 
• Make a bargain
• Overcharging is also one of the most alarming problems of foreigners first time traveling to Vietnam as locals always think that foreigners are rich. However, this issue affects considerably the image of Vietnamese people on tourists' eye when they read reviews on the Internet. Therefore, remember to make bargain whatever you buy, please read the reviews carefully to consult the prices, or just contact us for local tips and tricks at Luxury Travel.

Don'ts:

• Wear a lot of jewelry or show valuables in public, especially when in Ho Chi Minh City.
• When walking on streets in Vietnam, especially big cities like Ho Chi Minh City, if you wear a lot of jewelry like rings or even make a phone call, you will be a target for pickpockets or robbers. Also when you can't speak Vietnamese, it will be such a challenge to ask people surrounding you to help you.
• Express the affection of lovers in public. 
• Western culture encourages or allows people to be free to show their love or affection. By contrast, it is impolite in Eastern culture countries, like in Vietnam.  You can see couples holding hands, but they will not kiss when many people can see that. Thus, avoid kissing your friends or lovers in front of other people in public places.
• Give money to the beggars on the street or tourist attractions. 
• Actually, beggars are sometimes not beggars. There is another way you can help people in difficult circumstances like donating to the charity. Children are exploited to earn money to groups of people. So be aware of that.

There are a lot of things you should and shouldn't do when coming to Vietnam, but don't worry, if you have any query or need local help, please feel free to call us at Luxury Travel to have an affordable, safe and local journey. 

Do's in Cambodia 

• Dress modestly
• It is absolutely fine to get dressed up comfortably, or even sexily if you are about to go to a pub in Siem Reap or at a pool party at a luxury resort. However, things are not the same if you are about to visit the heritages. Leave your shorts, miniskirts, and any other clothes that are above your knees or reveal too much skin at home. Put on a long pant or a long dress, instead.
• Show cultural respects
• It is necessary to show your respect for the Cambodian people and culture. Social class is quite notorious here, so pay attention to your etiquette when meeting the elderly or the monks.
• Bargain
• That Khmer people are hospitable and honest does not mean you won’t be overcharged when shopping in their markets or shops. Bargaining is a must-do in almost all Asian countries, not just Cambodia.

Don'ts in Cambodia 

• Give money to children and beggars on the streets. Many of these people are forced to do that job and would get nothing even when you give them money. All would come into the wallet of their “boss” instead.
• Talk about sensitive topics. It is never a should to talk about politics or war with Cambodian people. Especially, they really hate mentioning about Khmer Rouge period, so do not bring them to your conversation.
• Be culture offensive. Many things sound to be exceptionally unrespectful to Cambodian people such as touching someone's head, using the left hand to ON’Tsgive and receive things, pointing your feet to other people or to Buddha's images, pointing your index finger to others, complaining about their country, and so on.
• Show affection in public. Cambodia is still a conservative society and they tend to avoid interacting with people of the opposite gender when they are in public. Holding hands, hugging, and kissing are unacceptable, too.
• Drink tap water. Tap water is not clean, so avoid drinking it. You can use bottled water instead
