My relative is going over there for a week. Any kinds of (not too expensive) items, or food (no pork or beef), souvenir, anything because I know nothing about there, and I think the country has a lot of things that I never hear about.

    Okay I’m not Vietnamese, but I’m going to to barge in regardless:

    There’s this type of Vietnamese balm called “Golden Star”. Little metal circle of a package. Used to be extremely popular in Russia and jokingly referred to as Panacea. Really does a lot - clears up sinuses, helps with inflammation, etc.

    Definitely recommend looking into

    I have nothing to suggest, but I too am aiming to go there someday.

      I will visit Viet and DPRK, among other places, someday, but for now I have only this way to get a more personal experience.

    Also not Vietnamese, but if you’re into smoking stuff you could ask them to find you some Thuoc Lao, which is an extremely high nicotine form of tobacco customarily smoked out of a bong-like water pipe.
