When visiting Sapa in north of vietnam, please take care and avoid
– Making prior bookings for climbing the Fansipan Peak in the monsoons. December, though otherwise a good cold weather is not the best for the hike and you may lose the money on prior arrangements.
– Be watchful of street sellers, the local women who follow you for hours / days. And apart from selling crafts and non precious jewelry, can offer to sell crack or other drugs which is illegal.
