Is it safe to pack light and buy items on arrival?

When you arrive in Vietnam you’ll soon see that there are clothing and shoe shops everywhere in the cities! Just be aware that finding the right size can sometimes be an issue. Better to be safe than sorry when packing, but if you are in the smaller size range you’ll have no problem. Tourists often like to buy clothes and other items while they are in Vietnam, so leaving some room in your bag is a good idea.
