4. RAJESH TANEJA – BAILLI DÉLÉGUÉ
Dear Esteemed Members and Guests,
It is my honour to invite you to Hanoi, the Capital City of Vietnam, for the Grand
Chapitre of la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage du Viêt-nam.
Hanoi traces its roots back 1000 years and has taken influences from many cultures
including the Chinese, the Nguyễn Dynasty, and the Colonial French.
With 8 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area, we have planned four days of
culinary and social events that we believe reflect the excellence of Northern
Vietnam and the beauty of Vietnam as a whole.
I invite you to join the Grand Chapitre of Vietnam and look forward to seeing you at
the end of August 2022. Vive la Chaîne!
Sincerely,
Rajesh Taneja
Bailli Délégué, Member of the Conseil Magistral (Paris)

5. RAVI CHUNILAL – CHARGÉ DE MISSIONS
Dear Members, Chères Confrères, Chères Consœurs,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us for la Chaîne des Rotisseurs
Bailliage National du Vietnam’s Grand Chapitre in Hanoi.
Vietnam’s capital city is rich in history, the streets of its historical Old Quarter dating
back to the 14th century, numerous tree-lined lanes that pass crumbling colonial
facades and, a feeling in the air that with transport you back in time.
Today’s Hanoi is about much more than in the past. The ancient city is being
invigorated with modern cafes, world-class restaurants, and cool art galleries.
When the sun goes down, there is no dearth of entertainment venues from
sophisticated rooftop bars to the buzzing bia hoi.
As our Chapitre approaches, I look forward to welcoming you all!
Vive la Chaîne!
Ravi Chunilal
Chargé de Missions

6. CURRENCY CONVERSION
The đồng (/dɒŋ/; Vietnamese: [ˀɗɜwŋ͡mo]; sign: ₫; code: VND) has been the
currency of Vietnam since May 3, 1978. Issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, it is
represented by the symbol "₫".
23,400 Vietnamese Dong (VND) converts to approximately one US Dollar (USD).
Only licensed currency converters are allowed to convert foreign currency. Through
strict currency controls and the digi-za-on of money, cash is becoming less and less
commonplace in most transac-ons.
Credit cards are widely accepted throughout Vietnam including in taxis. You may be
required to sign in triplicate as the local banks were previously mandated by law to
keep a copy in their files.

Chaîne events to be placed close to other visiOng members), or you may
simply book online.

11. HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Hanoi is a large-bustling city of 8 million residents. As in any large city, it is good to
always stay vigilant against health risks and petty crime. Vietnam has almost no
violent crime but it’s best not to leave wallets on tables or purses and electronics
unguarded.
When walking on the street, it is advisable that mobile telephones and other
electronics remain in your pocket and when in crowded areas such as public
markets, be sure to be consistently aware of your surroundings.
Street food is generally safe but those with weak constitutions should avoid it.
Similarly, not all water coming from taps may be potable. Ice is generally safe to
drink, and all locally produced drinking waters are required by law to be sealed with
a tamper-proof plastic overlay to ensure it is not adulterated.
Please note that Vietnamese nightlife can be extremely loud. To be on the safe side,
it is recommended that you consider wearing earplugs if you plan to enjoy any local
night spots. Please feel free to ask a local Bailliage council member for a disposable
pair in case you do not have any earplugs of your own.

12. EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Emergency Phone Numbers
Police: 113
Fire: 114
Ambulance – First Aid: 115
Law Consultancy service: 1088
Hospital Contact Numbers
Vinmec Times City International Hospital:
Address: 458 Minh Khai Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Vinh Tuy, Hanoi
Tel: +84 243 9743 556
Hours of operation: Monday to Sunday – 24 hours
Vinmec Times City International Hospital in Hanoi is the first hospital in the Vinmec
medical system, which is developed and invested by Vingroup – one of Vietnam’s
biggest private groups. The hospital has a capacity of 600 beds, 32 specialties, and 3
specialized and technology support centers with high-quality modern equipment.

13. TRANSPORTATION
Hanoi’s denizens mostly use motorbikes for personal transport keeping traffic
smooth-paced and efficient but extremely loud during the most congested periods.
At all hours of the day, you can expect incessant honking and noise emissions from
cars, motorbikes, and buses.
Noi Bai International Airport is distant from the city center of Hanoi. It can take 35
to 75 minutes to reach your hotel during the peak of rush hour and can cost as
much as 500,000 VND (a stark contrast compared to what it costs to reach your
hotel in Ho Chi Minh City). We do not recommend the use of dedicated prepaid
airport taxis.
There are several taxi transport options in Hanoi. We recommend that you seek to
use distinctive green Mai Linh Taxis as the company has strict policies relating to
the conduct of its drivers as well as decent customer service. As a very last-ditch G7
taxi is also a fair option.
All hotels and fine dining restaurants will have staff on hand to dispatch drivers as
needed. Wait times vary and should not exceed fifteen minutes.
Mai Linh dispatch: +84 24 38 333 333 (or 024 38 333 333)

14. COMMUNICATION
Many countries do not have a mobile roaming agreement with Vietnam’s carriers.
Should you need to stay online during your visit, it is recommended that you
acquire a SIM card upon arrival at Noi Bai Interna-onal Airport. We recommend
VinaPhone and MobiFone as the preferred carriers that should give decent trouble-
free internet access while in Vietnam.
The cost of a SIM card should not exceed VND 200,000 (approx. USD $9).
For those who require less rigorous access to the internet, all hotels, cafes and
restaurants in Vietnam offer free internet for their patrons.

15. LABRI is described as a neo-bistro, where
guests can get a casual, friendly,
inexpensive French dining experience.
Each of the dishes at LABRI is a careful
curation of French and Asian flavours in
perfect union.
LABRI is owned by Chef Joonhyuk Chi,
Maître Rôtisseur Nominee.
