Washcloths in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand hotels?
The hotels that I’ve been to in most of Europe don’t have what Americans know as washcloths for showering. The last Italy trip the hotel said, “yes, indeed we have washcloths” When we got there, the washcloths were dinner napkins/tea towels and not what I’m used to. Do the hotels on the Vietnam trip have what Americans know as washcloths or should I bring my own?
I’m not talking expensive, highly specific items, just a general Walmart washcloth?

I don't remember if they provided washcloths, but it it's important to you, it would be best to bring some.
Washcloths are a very American toiletry item, not widely used in many other countries. I was told years ago that Tauck often has special arrangements to provide them in some hotels they use. In places like Italy they are often thin, linen type materials. In my culture they are seen as old fashioned from the days when people stood at the sink to wash instead of daily bathing.
You can now buy disposable wash cloth sized ‘cloths’. Another idea is to take a supply of the Viva brand of paper towels which are very cloth like and don’t disintegrate. These take up way less room than a supply of fresh regular type wash cloths that you would need for a two week trip.
On some trips we bring wash cloths that we purchase by the pack from the Dollar Stores.
All of the hotels had washcloths. They are 5⭐️ luxury hotels. We just returned last week. Don’t bring any extras
Thank you PaulaSimon! Finally a correct answer! Even Tauck Customer Service refused to do any research and answer correctly.
You can always use your built in washcloth, your hands 😀
Even when hotels provide washcloths I don't like to use them. Too thick and un-handy. We pack dollar store loofah's in bright colors so we can easily see them when packing up. A quick shake and they're mostly dry then placed in a hotel shower cap and shoved in our toiletry bags. Since they are cheap we don't worry too much about forgetting them.
On overnight flights the airlines often hand out small microfiber wipes which I keep. They can actually be laundered. I tuck one in my bag as a backup. Again, if forgotten on a trip it's no biggy.

Perhaps, you can email the hotels and ask them directly. or go to the hotel website and check room Amenities
Do your homework.
