:(( you're not alone, even as a Vietnamese I'm very worried about it, but only in southern areas like Ho Chi Minh City. It's much safer in the central and northern regions
@@franklinloo2160 thank you. I gonna continue to make videos to share my experience about travel in VietNam, hope they can help you have good time in Vietnam
Thank you so much! I will go to Ho Chih Mihn City in about two weeks, so this was very helpful! Plus I could see footage of the streets and Markets too! Very good for my Mental preparation (I have Autism Spectrum Discorder and I am on the higher end of the spectrum)
so you should pay attention to keep your belongings carefully when in crowded places, many bad guys will take advantage of your carelessness to steal your things. In addition, traffic in big cities in Vietnam is quite crazy, make sure you are careful when crossing the street. i am also quite close to ho chi minh city and looking for an opportunity to go back there to work
@@travellikealocalvn Thanks for answer! For the "many bad guys" I already have an anti-theft bag ready for city stroll/visit... My phone also has a string/neckband around my neck and torso, to also prevent theft. Right now I am learning Vietnamese phrases, and sorting them to Learning images. Greetings from Slovakia (Central Europe)
@@KingOskar4 great, it looks like you are "fully prepared" for your trip, hope you have a great time in vietnam. also i have made some more videos about vietnam travel experience, if you need then watch them, they are not viral but i believe they are very useful
@@travellikealocalvn bro, a tip also for your viewers is , I find that from HCM airport, the safest and most trustworthy taxi 🚖 is Vinasun…… I will not ride in any other taxi 👍
I mean, I don’t know why sellers inside the Ben Than market seems so rude. Bargaining should be healthy and that if the price can no longer be lowered down to what the tourist would want to pay, the seller shouldn’t be rude towards them. 😆 I was there this morning and I got pissed off when she dragged me and ask me how much I can pay. I told politely that I can only pay for 50k each of the basic shirt with Vietnam printed on it. And I gladly wanna buy 10pcs. But she can’t negotiate lower than 80. The other seller even lowered it to 60. I then politely said, I can’t go on with 80. 50-60 would be good. But she said no. I even politely said “thank you” to end bargaining and walk away as I wanna go back to my room. But she got mad and said, I’m a man, I asked her for the price. But then I walk away. And that rude according to her. I shouldn’t be the likes to respond but d*mn it’s so hot in there and all I wanna do is moved on and be in my room. But I snapped “I didn’t ask you for the price. You dragged me there and we kind of negotiate into something that aren’t working. And there’s no reason for me to stay. But I did not asked you or anything.” Then I walk out. The last one is just so rude of me, I must admit. But I will definitely be back again. I love the foods here😊
I'm so sorry for that. Many sellers in Vietnam have that attitude towards their customers because they think "those people only come to buy once, don't care about their feelings" and act extremely rude even to Vietnamese customers. Some people watched my video and messaged me saying that I was badmouthing Vietnamese people but I just said the obvious truths in the hope that my country would become more civilized.
@@travellikealocalvn It happens in every country. Scammed rides, price hikes for tourist. We don’t have to be so apologetic about the reality that is happening around. And it’s not because, it may or not be an isolated case, that doesn’t mean that we can’t bring the conversation in the table. Truth hurts.
@@sgfanmike1082 ya if next time you can come in winter, don't forget to visit the northern mountainous provinces like Ha Giang and Lao Cai. They are the best places in Vietnam in winter..if u need any advice or something i can help, just ask me. i will try my best
@@nilsen589 it's pointless to me to make a video of common crimes or scams that occurs anywhere in the world especially in third world countries. However, the video seems to spotlight these common scams. Have you traveled?
@@preston74Just because such scams also take place in other countries does not mean that they cannot be discussed. Yes, I travel a lot. I'm currently in Vietnam, which is why I'm watching the video. I have never seen so many scammers as in Hanoi.
Your tips are great but it was difficult to understand your English. Typing on the video was very helpful because it helped me to understand you. When your English gets better, you will have more views. My advice…….watch American movies and repeat aloud what you hear., this will help your English get better.
@@francisvazquez13 nah, at this time my english is quite bad, but it's getting abit better now, if you want me to make video about other things in Vietnam, just let me know
So good that you're helping people out here!
@@supersimplemarketing thank you so much. I just don't want people to be fooled and have a bad impression of Vietnam.

So sad about too much robberies in Vietnam, sometimes it make me nervous about my stuff (on the beach or when I’m riding a bike)
:(( you're not alone, even as a Vietnamese I'm very worried about it, but only in southern areas like Ho Chi Minh City. It's much safer in the central and northern regions
So far I have a wonderful time in Ho Chi Minh City and Danang. Just be cautious. ❤

You are welcome
@Tz Bui - You shed a pretty dim light on VN when in fact this can happen anywhere in the world. How many countries have you traveled to?
Where exactly did he say that this can only happen in vietnam and not in other countries?
@@nilsen589 I believe you just made my point.
@@preston74 how so?

Take pictures before you buy then give back and offer what you want to pay
that's good idea bro
