 Swimming Safe guides:

- Check with the lifeguard on surf conditions before swimming. If lifeguards give you directions or instructions from the stand, obey them. Never swim alone - use the buddy system. 

- Don't overestimate your swimming ability, especially early in the summer when the water is cold. Swimming ability is severely decreased in cold water.

- Judge your ability to participate in beach activities based on your swimming skills without the assistance of rafts and other flotation devices.

- Never dive into shallow water, or water of unknown depth.

- If you are confronted by a large wave and there is not enough time to get away from it, try to dive underneath the wave. Keep your body as low as possible until the wave passes over you. Timing is important, dive into the base of the wave just before it breaks. Do not dive if the water is too shallow - instead crouch and keep a low body profile. travel to Vietnam

- If caught in rip currents, relax and swim toward the shore at a 45-degree angle until you are free of the current. If the rip currents are strong, swim parallel with the shoreline in the same direction as the littoral current and then swim diagonally toward the shore. If you are not able to swim out of the currents, call or wave for help.

- When body surfing, do not ride waves in a straight line toward shore. Instead, surf at an angle to the waves. Stay away from the white water in the wave center to avoid going "over the falls."

- Never swim while intoxicated. Alcohol impairs judgment, unnecessary risks are taken and a swimmer will tire more easily, increasing the chance of an accident.

Especially, during the squid season, it would be common to see large shoals of squids surrounding the cruiser and each tourist may catch an average of 30 squids for each squid fishing night.

Phu Quoc travel guide

Sitting back in a hammock, looking out over the quiet surf, you may wonder why more people don't know about Vietnam's Phu Quoc Island. It gets almost none of the press of those islands over in Thailand -- and yet with its rugged jungle, squeaking white sands and sparkling cobalt waters, it can more than match them. And though an unbroken beach stretches for almost the entire length of the island's west coast, only a small part of it has been developed. Read more: Mekong & Phu Quoc island (5 days, 4 nights)

We've seen many an island in Southeast Asia, and we've never stumbled across somewhere quite like here. The mix of isolated and deserted beaches, and a few thriving yet unadulterated Vietnamese towns, make Phu Quoc a rare find indeed. Southern Vietnam with extension to Cambodia 10 days

Phu Quoc travel guide

Given its ease of access (a 21-minute flight from Rach Gia or an hour's flight from Saigon), it's amazing the island isn't far more developed, and while the Vietnamese government has huge plans they remain unrealised, and hopefully will remain just on paper for the foreseeable future.

The island has something for everyone -- really! Ringed by over a dozen bays and beaches, some yellow sand, others brilliant strips of white, with an archipelago of islets off its south coast, a jungle-covered interior and a handful of fishing villages, there is enough to do for a longer stay than you may be planning.



Accommodation on Phu Quoc encompasses a full range of options from affordable backpacker guesthouses through to quite fancy beach resorts and hotels. Hoteliers report that some guests do nothing more than the daily bungalow-beach-restaurant-beach-bungalow circuit for days on end -- for couples in particular, Phu Quoc is a favourite.

But with a motorbike and a map, there's loads of exploring to do here, and while some of the beaches are under military control, the majority are open to the public.

Many leave Phu Quoc as their final stop in Vietnam before leaving, only to find that a couple of nights just aren’t enough. As a result, flights are changed and itineraries are revised -- so take it from us, revise your itinerary upfront and be sure to allow yourself enough time on Phu Quoc.

Mua điều hòa phù hợp với không gian nhà bạn

Việc chọn mua được một may dieu hoa có công suất và tính năng phù hợp, giá thành hợp lý là điều không dễ đối với mỗi gia đình.
Trên thị trường điều hòa hiện nay, các nhà sản xuất đồ gia dụng nổi tiếng như Samsung, Panasonic, dieu hoa lg chinh hang, Toshiba... đã cho ra mắt nhiều dòng điều hòa mới sử dụng công nghệ biến tần Inverter và S-Inverter nhằm giúp tiết kiệm điện năng tiêu thụ. Kết hợp với một vài tính năng nổi bật đã làm nên những sản phẩm đặc trưng cho từng hãng. Lúc mua, khi chọn thương hiệu bạn nên đọc kỹ nơi sản xuất, bởi hiện nay các thương hiệu có tiếng đều được sản xuất, lắp ráp tại nhiều quốc gia khác nhau như Việt Nam, Trung Quốc, Malaysia...
Bạn muốn mua một máy dieu hoa midea chinh hang nhưng còn do dự chưa biết chọn loại nào cho thích hợp. Sau đây là một số chỉ dẫn cần thiết cần phải nắm rõ trước khi quyết định phải chọn mua loại nào, hoặc cách xem máy như thế nào để có thể mua được loại máy tốt, sử dụng được lâu. Máy điều hoà nhiệt độ có hai loại:
Loại treo tường (2 cục): loại này có hai phần tách rời nhau làm thành hai bộ phận, bộ phận giàn lạnh được lắp đặt trong nhà bằng cách gắn trên tường. Bộ phận quạt và bloc máy được gắn bên ngoài nhà, hai bộ phận này thông nhau bằng một ống nhựa đặt xuyên qua một lỗ hồng nhỏ (vừa với tiết diện ống) trên tường Loại máy này thích hợp cho nhà ở, có hành lang bên ngoài (dùng để đặt bộ phận quạt và bloc máy).
Loại cửa sổ (1 cục): loại này là một khối máy đồng nhất, nghĩa là bộ phận quạt nằm luôn trong máy chứ không tách rời như loại máy treo tường. Loại này thích hợp cho nhà cao tầng. Để gắn máy này chỉ cần tạo một khung cứa sổ trên tường khi gắn máy, để bề mặt (giàn lạnh) quay vào trong phòng.
Nói chung, hai loại máy đều vận hành như nhau và mua máy nào thì tuỳ theo sở thích người tiêu dùng.

Tuy nhiên, trong khi sử dụng cần đảm bảo độ lạnh trong phòng ổn định, công suất máy dieu hoa funiki chinh hang phải thừa khả năng khử sức nóng ở trong căn phòng. Sức nóng này phát ra từ 2 nguồn chính: từ bên trong căn phòng do sự tỏa nhiệt của con người, bóng đèn, máy móc... và sức nóng xâm nhập từ ngoài vào do nhiệt độ bên ngoài cao hơn nhiệt độ trong phòng.

Một quan niệm sai lầm về công suất làm lạnh là công suất càng nhỏ thì càng ít tốn điện. Trên thực tế, công suất càng lớn sẽ càng ít tốn điện, mặc dù chỉ số tiêu thụ luôn cao.

Long Xuyen travel guide

The capital of An Giang province, Long Xuyen boasts a sprawling and rather interesting riverside market, a huge cathedral and a smattering of colonial relics, but it is otherwise a nondescript spot that features on close to nobody's travel itinerary through the Mekong Delta trips.

While a steady trickle of travellers and backpackers pass through, or stay in, nearby Chau Doc, precious few choose to stay in Long Xuyen and it is easy to see why.

Some come for a transport connection, but that's close to the end of the appeal for most. Despite this, there is ample accommodation, albeit primarily aimed at travelling business people rather than backpackers and independent travellers. There's also a bunch of dodgy places outside town, but we can't imagine Long Xuyen ever being that busy you'd need to contemplate a stay out there. There's also a smattering of restaurants scattered across town. Read more: Tours in Vietnam 

Long Xuyen travel guide

The most interesting attraction in Long Xuyen town itself is the massive wet market that runs along the river's edge to the east of the central pier.

You could easily lose yourself for a couple of hours in the market, but it is not worth travelling specifically to Long Xuyen to see. Read more: Jahan cruise

From the nearby pier you can also organise short boat trips into the surrounds, priced by the hour. You needn't look for a boatman or woman -- they will find you.

Aside from the market and a boat trip, start planning your escape to a more interesting destination.
