If documents are stolen from the beach, consider going to the police with an interpreter: a police certificate may be needed to obtain an emergency travel document through a consulate. In one case, the remaining belongings were recovered after searching and a call from hotel reception, but the phones were not returned.

Local tip: rent a beach lounger instead of sitting directly on the sand — it costs 150,000-200,000 VND for the whole day, and the person renting them out usually watches over your belongings.

Not everything ends badly: a backpack with personal belongings and documents was found in Nha Trang — lost items sometimes get returned through local community chats, so it's worth checking those if something goes missing.
