Travel advice for this country

Local laws and customs

You should not become involved with drugs.  As recent examples have shown, being found in possession of even very small quantities will almost certainly lead to imprisonment.

You should respect local customs.  Women should avoid wearing shorts and sleeveless tops in public places where this might be seen as inappropriate.
