In rural areas hitchhiking is easier. Trucks have no problem stopping for you. Using a sign with "Xin Xe" followed by your destination works well. Expect every bus to stop as well, even if you don't have your hand stretched out. Most of the time they will charge, but you may get a free ride. Ask before entering by saying "Miễn Phí?" ("free?"). The Vietnamese can be very generous.
When traveling alone, it's highly suggested you get yourself a helmet, as most of your ride offers will be from scooters, and it's the law to wear a helmet when on a motorized bicycle. Being a foreigner, you may not be bothered by the cops, but the fine is heavy.
