Travel Planning For Vietnam
See video here.
IMPORTANT TIPS FROM THE BRIDE AND GROOM:
1). Apply for a Vietnam travel e-visa:
evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/en_US/web/guest/khai-thi-thuc-dien-tu/cap-thi-thuc-dien-tu
2). Make sure your passport is up to date or apply for one immediately. Travelers MUST be carrying a passport with a validity of at least 6 months or longer after the return date.
3). Weather could range from sunny to cold and rainy, so please pack accordingly! (sunglasses, umbrella, coat for when you're high up in the mountains)
4). Bring cash to exchange!
5). Bring your own medication just in case (Advil, Dramamine, Pepto Bismol, Liquid IV, Emergen-C)
6). Portable Hotspot or purchase a SIM card upon arrival.
WHERE TO FLY INTO
Da Nang International Airport (DAD) - approximately 1.5 hours drive away from the venue.
See LINK below for the Shuttle Bus Schedule from Danang Airport to Angsana Lang Co. This is ONLY available for people with a hotel booking at Angsana or Banyan Tree.
Lauren and Jacky will send an email to the hotel with people's travel info from the spreadsheet to RSVP a spot on the shuttle bus. If you do not have your info on the spreadsheet, pls make sure to RSVP 1 day prior to book a spot on the complimentary shuttle bus. Otherwise, you may need to arrange your own transportation arrangements (such as Gojek or Be Taxi, which are Vietnam's alternatives to Uber).
