- Prepare some small change: It’s a good idea to have some small denominations of cash (from 20,000 to 50,000 VND) ready to tip the boatmen at Luon Cave or the luggage handlers if you’re satisfied with their service.
- Check the power outlets carefully: Before packing your suitcase, thoroughly check the power outlets in your room and under the desk to make sure you haven’t left your charger, charging cable, or headphones behind – these are the items travelers most often forget on trains.
