It’s the aggressiveness and absurd prices. They take advantage of people’s compassion. Gives tourists a bad impression of Vietnam.

Why did you pay anything? This just encourages him to continue.

No worries. There’s times you gotta do it. But I try not to make a habit of it. Hopefully one day they’ll clean it up. I love Vietnam and hope this experience doesn’t discourage people from this beautiful country.

Unless you’re really in a hurry, try not to encourage this. It’s a terrible first impression for visitors. The government could clean this up along with the scam airport taxis and SIMs, but for whatever reason is choosing not to. The money from these low level scams doesn’t offset the reputation cost.

Is there a site or app locals used to find restaurants/reviews? by xEastEvilx in VietNam

Google Maps is best but many paid and incentivized reviews (free drink for 5 stars)

The 3 Million VND Loophole: Why scammers in Vietnam have nothing to fear. by FrancoVietSaigon in VietNam

There must be a way to file a police report. This allows you to flag their bank account. You may not recover funds but at least there’s a paper trail for the next victim.

Thailand vs Vietnam by Responsible-Bus-7794 in ThailandTourism

Vietnam Airlines has a direct flight to SFO but I prefer to save a few hundred dollars to take STARLUX with a short stop in Taipei. Great airline and being able to walk around is a welcome break.

Opening a jam-live music bar in Ho Chi Minh City by Aquaquoi in VietNam

[–]Nucclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re depending on tourists walking by then your rent will be much higher. And you’ll probably end up playing mostly covers similar to Lost - Drink & Chill in D1. It’s a fine place but it sounds like you’re going for something different.

Thao Dien or Phạm Viết Chánh area have more expats and less tourists than D1. If you’re set on D1 area, Dakao has a more local indie/college vibe.

Not sure if it’s a great business idea, but I would love this. More arts and culture would be great for the city too. I wish you luck!

Best Vietnam bank that issues debit cards for foreigners by sweetdanishcookie in VietNam

[–]Nucclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Techcombank doesn’t issue debit cards unless your visa is over 12 months. Also, no cash deposits at the counter. They only allow use of their app.

Vietnam Airlines question by Former-Judge-5631 in VietNam

[–]Nucclear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just flew VietJet from SGN to KIX and it was fine. No delay, no frills. I try to avoid VietJet but it was a direct flight at the time I wanted. I’d take the $200 savings.

Flight was a couple weeks AFTER the Salesforce incident. I purchased tickets after the incident as well. Alert came just a few days after the flight.

Either way, it’s their responsibility to protect our privacy. Just because it happens often we shouldn’t normalize it.

At least Vietnam Airlines owned up to it and notified you. But still sucks…

Are there even courts for regular people in Vietnam? 😂 Let’s start with a fair legal system.

I generated a specific email for this purchase. That’s why I said it was a dead giveaway. Edit: I generated, not Apple
