🧳 Packing for a Da Nang trip: things that seemed necessary in Korea but turned out to be useless there

Hello 😊 The night before a trip, you pack this and that just in case, and before you know it your suitcase is already full, right? 😅

But once you actually get to Da Nang, there's always some stuff in your luggage that you never even take out.

Today, I've put together some packing guidelines: what you can leave out vs. what you absolutely must bring!

❌ Items that turned out to be less useful than I expected

☂️ Long Umbrella

In Da Nang, the rain can pour down suddenly and it gets windy too, so a raincoat is much more convenient than an umbrella.

✔️ One folding umbrella is enough, and you can easily buy a raincoat at a local supermarket too

👟 Several pairs of sneakers

If it gets wet in the rain, it doesn't dry well, so it actually becomes a burden.

✔️ Just the one pair you wear on the way is OK

👕 Plenty of spare clothes

It's so humid and hot that I end up just rotating through my comfy clothes.

✔️ Pack clothes for only half of your trip, and leave your laundry to a local laundromat!

✔️ If you book through 'Laundry' in the VietSpot app, they'll pick up and deliver right to your accommodation, so you don't even need to leave your hotel 🧺

💨 Hair dryer · Beach towel

Most hotels and resorts have this as standard.

✔️ Just check your accommodation's amenities in advance

🍜 A bundle of cup noodles & Korean snacks

The big supermarkets have everything from Korean ramen and snacks to sauces.

✔️ On days when you just want to relax at your accommodation, get food from local favorite restaurants delivered with VietSpot 'Delivery' 🛵

✅ On the other hand, things you must bring

👡 Sandals (Aqua Shoes)

Rainy days, the beach, and a stroll through Hoi An, all taken care of in one go!

✔️ Recommended materials that dry quickly even when wet

📱 Waterproof Pouch

It keeps your phone safe at the beach, by the pool, and in sudden rain showers.

✔️ If it's a necklace type, it's easy to take photos too 📸

💊 Household Essentials

✔️ Antidiarrheals·digestive aids (it's easy to get an upset stomach when food and water change)

✔️ Fever reducers and pain relievers, bandages, mosquito repellent 🦟

✔️ Sunscreen & aloe gel (the sun is really strong ☀️)

✔️ Forgot something? Find a nearby pharmacy in VietSpot's 'Pharmacy' section 💊

🧥 One light outer layer

The indoor air conditioning is strong, and the top of Ba Na Hills is cooler than the city.

💡 Packing rule in one line

📌 Easy to find locally → leave it out

📌 Gets wet or heavy and becomes a burden → Leave it out

📌 Needed right away when you're sick or when it rains → Be sure to bring it

If you head out with a lightly packed suitcase, you'll have plenty of room for souvenirs on the way back 🥭☕

Have a fun trip to Da Nang with light luggage! ✈️💙
