Dam Sen water park
The best way to cool off in the hot dusty city is the Dam Sen
Water Park. It is part of a much larger theme park but the
highlights all circle the water fun. Part of the adventure is
wondering if anything is up to Vietnamese safety standards, or if
there are safety standards to be up to. Either way the great
selection of water slides hurtle passengers, full speed, up
railings and down steep drops. For relaxation a large wave pool and
a circling stream are great to float away the heat. A tourist
designated section of the compound is a nice place to relax if the
crowds are too much. Never visit on a public holiday unless
standing shoulder to shoulder in waste deep water sounds fun.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
The official language in Vietnam is Vietnamese. Some
Chinese, English and French are spoken. Tour guides can also speak
Russian and Japanese. Numerous ethnic languages are also spoken in
parts.
Money
The official currency is the Dông (VND). There are no smaller
denominations. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de
change, hotels and on the black market. Visa, MasterCard and
American Express are becoming more widely acceptable, particularly
in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but it is best not to rely on them
elsewhere. It is recommended that visitors bring travellers cheques
in US Dollars, which can be cashed at major banks in the main
cities and tourist areas. US currency acts as unofficial tender and
is useful as a back-up when banks won't cash travellers cheques
outside the main cities, but notes must be relatively new and
unmarked. Dông can be withdrawn from ATMs, which are becoming more
widespread.
