#DiploTips to avoid theft

Be very careful when exchanging money and going around in general while you are in HCMC. Petty theft is quite common.

• Use a sturdy bag that you can securely hug to your front or tuck under your arm while walking around.
• I recommend bags with sturdy straps and zipper enclosures. Don’t leave it open.
• Men should take care to put their wallet in a secure area on their person.
• Do not count your money out in public.
