I would appreciate some advise please as there seems to be so many different opinions on travel websites. Whilst I don't want to offend, I am finding it hard to pack for my trip without including some long shorts (up to the knee) and some t-shirts. Buying clothes in Vietnam would be ideal but I am a size 16 to 18 (Australian sizing) and have heard that it is hard to purchase ready made clothes in large sizes.
Thank you for assistance!

I visited with a young lady that went to Thialand with the Girl Scouts last summer and she ISN'T large sized, what I would consider large anyway. She is about 5 foot, 6 inches and maybe 140 pounds or so. She had a VERY HARD time finding clothes including shoes that were a size 7 US.
Good luck and have fun, but take plenty of clothing hahahaha.

You could get by with taking a few pair of shorts, some very light weight slacks or silk type dresses. Clothes don't take very long to make there; so you could have some made for you too. Remember slacks for visiting Temples and some Restaurants at night. Or a dress. Have a good trip. Cheers

ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME? you may't discriminate antagonistic to overweight human beings. in case you want to assist, there are different approaches. yet do not recommend this. and besides, until eventually you're some multimillionare clothing employer proprietor who's stricken with the help of the sales on your shop and examine pinpointed it to weight problems, IT would not influence YOU in any respect. THEY DONT reason YOU ANY health complications. And dont use the excuse "oh i basically wanted to assist." because you at the on the spot are not. you're flat out prejudice. you may't tell someone to exercising both. I exercising 2 hours an afternoon because it feels good, not because someone TELLS ME. some have a harder, busier existence kind and that stops them from exercising recurring, or they have some kind of incapacity that stops them from doing so. And what in the experience that they're a length ten, yet devour nicely and exercising. Thats healthful. Its their personal body. i understand on your sick twisted options you may imagine there's a primary "healthful body" yet there is not, it relies upon thoroughly on the guy. and how do you even make certain what a length ten is anyhow. i have actually been in shops the position i'm a a million and shops the position i'm a 4. And what if the dimensions 10s are ARE PREGNANT? WHAT about those particular EXCEPTIONS? You cant positioned a rule "5 dollar tax on sizes blah with the help of blah apart from ...." it received't artwork. AND WHY DO you imagine shops that objective in course of somewhat larger women human beings EARN a lot??? because different shops have already began to discriminate antagonistic to them. they don't choose your help in doing so.

i am around the same size and couldn't buy anything... also be very careful about getting clothes made as i pretty much wasted 120 dollars on getting clothes made for me that were not up to standard. I had four fittings and was still unhappy with the clothes... just make sure you have a reputable place. have a great time long shorts should be fine to wear. you will also need lond pants, just make sure they are loose and a material that can breathe.... it is very hot..

Wear clothes that you like and are comfortable in wherever you go. It's true large sizes are not readily available but there are tailor and dressmaker that can make whatever you like in one day or less, the labor is very cheap and fabric are cheap also.
Shorts and Tshirts are goo outfit for Asian trips. But bring one set of at least good clothes for special occassions

long shorts and t-shirts will be ok. when i visited two years back i had to buy some warm stuff (ready made) and found it quite difficult. i had to choose according to the size available rather then to my taste!
but you can get stuff stitched by a tailor specially in hoi an there are tailors at every corner. many people visit the country for that purpose.

A friend of mine goes there all the time ( married a gal from there) he says it hot, so shorts are a good bet. He also is a large person and has his clothes custom made while there because its so cheap.
