I am Vietnamese and every time i came home i got scam and my husband never help me fight. He never fight about anything whether in Canada or abroad!! Good for u guys to stand up to them. Fr now i will fight for me by myself. My husband can do whatever he wants.
This is hilarious ... love ya
I am Vietnamese and I am proud of you for not letting them scam you. When you are the tourists, regardless of what you look like, they will try to scam you.
This shows a true experience of Vietnam as well.
Scoters, heat and scams!
Most vlogs do their best to avoid it, but I appreciate the honesty.
I took that same bus and had to deal with that b's too! I was there last September and took this bus to Hoi An from Da Nang and back. My hotel told me about the bus and the price. When I got on the money collection guy tried to make me pay 30,000, but I said no and gave him 20,000 because I I didn't have enough change to give him 18,000 and 20,000 wasn't gonna kill me. He didn't like it , but I stood my ground. Coming back to to Da Nang the guy asked me to get off of the bus, but once again I stood my ground. It's a very uncomfortable situation, but it is about the principal, and it is a scam! I don't care what any of y'all say on here about having the money so being scammed is no big deal. To me it Is! If you're okay with it , then that's you! Let people scam the hell out of you, but I'm not with that.
exactly!
the best is the people trying to say that its not a scam at all. There are blogs about this bus, tourists getting charged 40k to 50k even... The price is written on the front f the bus lol 18k
@@JumpingPlaces I've been all through Asia and I've run across scams like these, but mostly with cabs ( thank God for uber). Reading the comments from other's talking about why bitch about a couple of dollars, because it's my money, not yours. I work very hard to save and go on these vacations, being scammed is not and option.
Exactly, this was actually my first time ever getting scammed on a bus. Usually it’s with the tuk tuks and taxi drivers like you mentioned
@@JumpingPlaces ua-cam.com/video/csD-bvO6nng/v-deo.html
declaring these scams is a must, i’m viet and i get scammed by my own people. In a way i allow myself to fight them even harder. Karma always finds its way.
As a Vietnamese, I feel bad and sorry for any bad experience you had in Vietnam. This is one of the saddest things of Vietnam's tourism that we don't want foreigners to have in Vietnam. A part of the local people are not educated well. Such a sad story to hear! The government and the people must take more actions to change that. I believe Vietnamese people are generally friendly and welcoming to foreigners. We really wish you better traveling experience in the future.
Yeah we had an amazing trip in Vietnam! We didn’t really get scammed much to be honest but other travelers we meet told us they got scammed loads there. Still one of our favorite countries Th at we have ever visited 👌
it's a global phenomenon not unique to Vietnam alone. Varies from country to country. Scamming has not spared even the richest countries in ma opinion.
Xe buýt Quảng An do chính Đà Nẵng trợ giá thì mới 18k bạn ơi
Nó đi xe buýt hợp tác xã thì giá vậy đúng rồi. Vấn đề rác thì ok, còn giá xe buýt thì thằng này mới đúng là giả vờ ko hiểu rồi ăn chặn của ng ta
I'm recently in Vietnam Da Nang and the local shop charged me 180,000 for a pack of cigarette. 2days ago I got it's just for 30,000k dong. 😂
@@tdgdsvc bạn này nói đúng nè
hello, i'm Vietnamese and now working in Da Nang. Let me tell you the truth.
you guys can see this kind of bus is old, and they run it individually, that means it was not received and support from the city. Da Nang has another kind of bus called 'inside city bus', they're modern, clean and polite, DN is paying bunch of money for it's activities from 5Am to 8PM every day.
The bus you took is Hoi An bus (work individually). The usual price for a full trip from Center Hoi An to Da Nang Center bus station 35km is about 20k VND (1$).
local people like me also have to pay extra 10k VND (0.5$) for big lugguage :D
Actually he didn’t charge any of the locals for their big bags at all which is why all the issue started in the first place, he even tried to block our view so we couldn’t see them paying him. He only started saying that the extra cost was for baggage once we turned the camera on... for the 10 minutes before that he didn’t mention that at all. there are many sites talking about the same scam with this bus... we actually get scammed quite a lot in other countries but normally the person isn’t so aggressive, that’s why there was no chance we were giving him extra.
outsidetheshire.com/scandal-in-bus-danang-hoi-an-fighting-against-scammers this same scam has been documented many times with this exact bus
chinatravelwriter.com/blog/2015/09/02/how-not-to-get-scammed-on-the-yellow-bus-from-da-nang-to-hoi-an/
Last one, the comment section at the bottom even shows they are charging 40 or 50 in many cases hoiannow.com/hoi-an-guide/transport-hoi-an/shuttle-bus-from-danang-hoi-an/
@@JumpingPlaces Be careful with your plan to challenge the locals over a small amounts of money. I was challenged by a tuk-tuk driver in Phuket at 3 AM over an extra $1.50. I gave it to him. Not worth dying for.
I've been to Vietnam twice,and I'll probably never go back. The attempted scams got worse the further I went north. I got tired of having to double check every bill etc for add-ons. Then I was the bad guy when I would bring it to their attention that I didn't have a bottle of wine,or that two people seem to have been charged for 3 meals. This went on,and on. Hanoi is the only place in the world,that when the plane pushed back it was" thank goodness we are out of here". I still go to SE Asia,but not back to Vietnam.
David Giles sorry to hear that you had bad experience while you were in Vietnam
But maybe you can check out other regions of the country.
@@phungtruong746 Same scams throughout Asia. One can never let one's guard down. I also felt "thank goodness we are out of here" when leaving the Philippines and Thailand for the last time. I could never relax. Never again.
@@mikemassino i felt the same about jamaica
I'm really sorry to hear about this. This is a true story in Vietnam. But I hope you did have nice experiences here.
The first time in Vietnam I got asked to pay for a motorcycle on a tour and I had previously thought it was included. I got very upset and refused to pay. It kind of spoiled the tour for us. But later I thought about it and it was stupid of me to ruin the day over $10. The lesson for me was don’t let a little thing ruin your experience. Traveling sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Don’t worry be happy 😃
agree 100%, I had to pay 40k vn for a coconut in DN/beach, it's should cost only 15k vn in the market. (I am vietnamese/live in Australia)
But if we could meet honest people around that make more our travel experience even more better that would be awesome. Scam in Vietnam is terrible.
Glad you are back. I missed you both! ☺️
More to come :D
Nice video, the bonsai looked really cool. Would be nice to see more of them.
Way to go, Carol! Gotta love Brazilians, I tell ya!
Awesome videos, love the Vietnam series...
Cheers bro! Vietnam was mind blowing!
Yeah Iv had this many times I was back packing Philippines every bus I went on tried to charge me for 2 seats same in Thailand as you say it’s not about the money it’s the principle
Yeah these things can happen everywhere really unfortunately
Thats normal and legitimate in Philippines if you're riding in a van with big luggage due to the fact it takes up so much space. But yeah, for a bus it seems strange.
Always love your videos! Full of narration and information. Admire you two 👍
Wow Danang is awesome. It looks so modern. Great blog.
Yeah very modern!
Thanks for making us all aware of this
Cheers for watching! This kind of thing happens all over south east asia unfortunately
Jumping places, only in south east asia? I think all over the world!
I agree with you, it's not about the money--nobody likes being scammed! If you are perceived as rich then some people think it is ok to scam and steal from you.
Yeah happens all the time in many countries we visit!
Great vid thanks for all the useful information
Expensive place to stay in DN, especially since you are on the other side of the Han River from the ocean. The prices are generally around 200K VND/night. Da Nang Beach was much different ten years ago...none of those hotels were there. It was mostly just open fields. It's gotten even worse along the ocean between Da Nang and Hoi An....they've destroyed the entire area.
The best view of DN can be had at the top of Chess Mountain...at the top of Son Tra, the little peninsula that pagoda is on.
I look at it like a tip for poor people
No they don't scam from you in Brazil they steal instead
yeah although i lived in rio for 6 years and never got scammed or robbed
there are still scams in brazil for sure though, what we meant is that on public transport you wont get scammed
Was going to say they won't scam you $1 they will kidnap you and sell your and your gf there hahaha wtf are they talking about. Brazil is Safe and Vietnam isn't ? Come On
You are such an idiot...don't tell me noone steal at you home town
I left Viet Nam more than 30 years ago by boat and fortunately made it whereas many lost their life at sea. The country ravaged by war, after those years A lot of people still struggling to survive on a daily basis, work hard just to put food on the table, hardly have a day off, left alone to have a chance to travel abroad on holidays. I don't agree with people getting ripped off wherever they are, watching the clip it brought tears to my eyes that how you see the incident on the bus as a scam, may be the man collected the fee simply was told to do so by his boss to charge extra fee for the luggage and due to his lack off English (mine is not perfect either) he was unable to explain and willing to let it go hopefully his boss doesn't question him about it (I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he tried to "Scam" you). The extra cost was insignificant but you put on a clip with its title saddened me.
You seem to be a decent guy, care for the environment and I am sure there are a lot of people in Vietnam would do the same thing, the negative things you pointed out outweight the positive side of it; if you look beyond the obvious you will understand.
I hope you have a safe and happy trip!
I’m not rich but my hotels arranged a car and driver to take me to and from Hoi An to the airport and Danang. It costs more but think it’s worth it
Well done Carol, don't let them get aeay with it!!
damn right!
The beach is so lovely 🌊⛵🌊
It was!
We were in Da Nang and Hoi An last August. We love it so much and can’t wait to go back there again. We didn’t have any issues that you had. The beach is very nice and clean even on your video. If you look for trash you will find it on any beaches and to be honest, most of the tourists are not responsible like you. I have bad experiences with the Chinese tourists from cruise to land. It’s hard to stay away from them because they are every where.
Da Nang has the cleanest beach I ever saw in SE Asia! Had a great time in Da Nang and Hoi An about two years ago. Will come back soon!
I totally agree with you. We also love it there so much. We also would like to buy a condo there if we can. We love the beach, weather and food. We want to getting away from the winter in California.
I ❤️ you guys so much.Enjoy your travel 😍Love from Hanoi❤️
I appreciate your video that showed travel in Vietnam. You are so cute together!
Good on you guys for not taking the scam. It is not about the money when it is such a small amount, but it is standing for what is right;-) Also, I bet you guys can find some hats or caps for real cheap...sure will help with walking in the sun and heat. Happy and safe adventures!!;;-)
You better put a ring on Carol's finger. She is totally on point. Nobody is going to swindle her! She's totally Street wise and lovely.
Hey there, we are already married :D We got married 2 years ago before we started on this trip
Next time just tell them that you will call the police! I’m vietnamse living in Switzerland and also met some “black sheep” when i visit my country! Sorry guys!
Hiya guys, glad you stood your ground like you say it is not about the money its that everyone should be treated the same, great video as always thank you for sharing your adventures, loving your videos, take care.
I was in Da Nang and the temple you were visiting. I like your statement at the end of the video regarding scams, not specifically only in Vietnam but throughout Asia. Da Nang is my mothers hometown. Liked and subcribed!
I have been to da nang around 2 weeks ago and I didn't have the courage to enter the beach. I saw many stinky streams flowing to the beach. I guess they are untreated swage from the city. Sad. But overall, I like the city and the tamplez. Great video!!
Yes, it is happening and it cannot be stopped with that
" The big cool pagoda. " That made me laugh out loud.🤣
The super chilled cat 🐈 got me 🤣
Just landed back from Danang, Hoi An. Completely agree with the both of ya. It's not good to charge more, it's not about the money its doing the right thing for the greater good for their tourism industry.
Hi guys how have you been im.going back to thialand in sept just wanted a get away and i missed Thailand so in going back cant wait you guys are doing so well your videos are brill
Nice! Had a blast in thailand also
Really enjoyed the Big Cool Pagoda Thing .
Very helpful! I’m going to VN in January, 2023 for 30 days and have learned much from videos like yours.😊
I've been to Vietnam 11 times in the last 25 years. Yeah charging "foreigners" extra is what they call charging "the American price". Vietnam Air used to actually have 2 official prices for every in-country flight on billboards in the airports behind the ticket takers. The Vietnamese price and "the American price". So that's not done anymore generally with airlines, hotels, and so forth, but scammers like taxi's or old buses will try to get the extra price. Best to agree to a price before you get on. Another lousy thing that happens on buses is they will tell you they are going to your destination and stop before they get there and dump your shi. right on the sidewalk leaving you to take Grab for the last part of your journey. Just be careful and plan a little better and ask locals if the bus will try to rip you off or drop you in the wrong place. I fight the mafia there for every inch and have for 25 years because that stupidity is bad for business and bad for the travel reputation. There are very reputable buses, you can sometimes get tickets from local travel shops. If you ever see something like a farmer carrying un-exploded war ordinance like bombs that did not detonate, just get the F off that bus. It rarely happens now but hundreds of buses have been blown up after the war from uneducated locals trying to sell scrap metal that was actually live ordnance.
Same everywhere in the 3rd world countries in SE Asia. Indonisia, Malaysia, Boycott their products or tell our governments NOT to let them come into developed countries. Screw them.
Wow it’s so clean.
Yeah I also noticed the physical similarity to Copacabana as well though of course Rio's vibe is much more exciting.
Anyone else see Carol struggle to say you won't get scammed in Brazil? Bless her heart, she almost did it.
Me and my husband spent 1 and a half month to travel from Sai Gon to Sapa by motorbike Honda Wave and we spent 35 millions dong , almost 2000$ for both of us. Most of the Hotel we stay its quite cheap, 150-200 thousands dong for a room, they usually tell you a high price but I did negotiate if they say no i will go and they call me back and accept my price . My experience are look on booking first, and choose a hotel that you like, make sure they still have room, go there and ask the receptionist, you can negotiate with them and have a cheaper price than a price they post on booking. Ask price before you buy or book something. Most of the Hotels in big city they have free pick up at the airport. Always have small change with you. Don't go buy local taxi, you can book Grab, Bee, they are very cheap and safe, always book by apps. These are some points that i got a very fun, cheap and wonderful trip.
Scams happen all over the world...sad but true...always nice to see a surprise garden like that especially if u don't expect it! And the trash on the beach wasn't so bad...i've seen worse from other channels! Enjoy your precious time with your family 😎
Yeah! Unfortunately scammers and trash seems to be a pretty big problem in south east asia
Thanks for sharing enjoy your journey best wishes
Good viddy. Da Nang is gorgeous. The "might be ocean" you refer to is the Han River, which exits into a different bay on the other side of the mountainous peninsula you were on visiting mama buddha. I spent a lot of time in VN. Least scammy people I have ever seen. I have been chased by locals when I leave money behind, or forgot my phone on the table. Super safe for women to travel, very respectful people in general, and simply more nice and helpful than anywhere, including Thai. Much less touched by tourism, particularly in the north. I hope the title here does not scare people off. I think paying 50¢ more for some big bags is pretty reasonable. Perhaps its the "one bad apple..." situ.
I am an Asian and I am going to Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue this November (2023)... I was excited about my trip and looked forward to going there, but after I watched many VDOs about scammers in Vietnam... It scares me.. but I will go anyway....
Beautiful. city thanks for sharing
take care , usually they like to give super high price to tourist, 2~3 times high start than local people. so better shopping after confirm with price.
that's the sad thing about tourist destinations, scams or rip-offs happen. I totally agree with you about the principle thing. fight for what is right. the tiger look of Carol seems scary, she really gets mad when she is mad. peace Carol. 😁😊👍❤
Yeah first time seeing her get angry haha
Hey, so you know I’ve been using Google translate photo option for the last three years its pretty good. Choose camera option, point the camera at the language you want to translate and boom it does it...great for places with no english translation.
now u know even im from Malaysia still get cheat, every where was scammers at Vietnam fr North to South same depends on ur luck
For what I understand is the bus driver charge you two seats. One for you and one for your bags. If you did not bring a heavy bag instead of your shoulder bag then it should be 40 dong
No its a known scam been going on for over a decade, i posted a link in the top comment of this video showing other peoples experiences..they charged more to other people even, he only started talking about our bag when we started filming him, the whole ten minutes before he didn't mention that once and his english was pretty good. It isnt much money but the way he reacted when we gave him the correct amount of money wasn't cool
Looks incredible
When you guys coming to Australia? Plenty of beautiful beaches here. Beautiful videos. Well done. 👍
Never do anything before agreeing on a price!!!!!!!!
Mosquitos in my shoes you right.
Everything asked for the price first guys please.
Hi. I guess that not much peoples from Hoi An or Da Nang comment on this videos. From me - a person has lived in Saigon many years and residential now in Da Nang for 3 years. I'll be writen here something that will help you. Firstly, I guess most information that traveller read on the webside a bout the bus from Da Nang to Hoi An or opposite side have price is 18.000 VND. I'll tell you that this price (also this information from the website) was from the begin time when the bus was started the journey ( the first time-the beginning day appearance of the bus, from many years ago). I has moved to Da Nang for lived 3 years, two years ago i went on the bus from Mable mountant to Bus Station it cost me 12.000~0.5$ I known that this is normal price. The second is that. If you comparing between the bus in the Da Nang city you could move between the first station to the final station more or nearly 35-40km it cost you only 5.000vnd (5k~1/4$) the distance are the same from Da Nang to Hoi An. You will wonder why does it cost so much (20-30k~5-6 times more) it also the bus ( even the bus from Da Nang to Hoi An is not so good - looking) the reason is that the bus from Da Nang to Hoi An is the bus without support of the government ( this bus moving from this province to another province-interprovincial bus. The bus received price surported is the bus has the route within the city. Sai Gon is the same if you move on the bus from the Sai Gon to other province you also go on a normal bus but the charge is higher than in the inner city). In Việt Nam we say that bus is " xe buýt không trợ giá"- bus without price supported. The third is that ( i'm sorry I do not remember exactly how many but) when we go on the bus with the carry mabe more than 12kg usually we have to pay a charge for it. I still remember that the day I was in Sai Gon the bus ticket was just 4vnd, after 3 years its was 5k and now its is 7k. Once time I on the bus with the flight luggage about 12-15kg it charged me 8vnd total with the ticket is 4vnd. In Vietnam the price be higher by time. I guess the ticket for the bus from Hoi An to Da Nang maybe from 18k up to now 25k-30k for the whole route. I write this post want to tell you and many more tourist or travellers that 25-30k is the suitable price (fit and right- appropriate) for the bus without price supported from Hoi An to Da Nang ( or opposite) from central bus station to other rest central bus station roughly 30-35km. Do not worry, although I am a Vietnamese, I very highly respect the Hoi An and Da Nang people. I moved here for 3 years and feel it bettter than any I been in my country about the price. And I belive on them. If any questions you want to ask, writing down in comment I'll be happy to answer. Thank you!
Xe Quảng An do chính người Đà Nẵng trợ giá thì 18k, còn này nó đi xe hợp tác xã của Hội An thì 30k đúng rồi ko sai. Hành lý nó to tổ bố
Look at the comments at the bottom of this link - hoiannow.com/hoi-an-guide/transport-hoi-an/shuttle-bus-from-danang-hoi-an/ Foreigners literally getting charged different prices on the same bus each time they get on it
City bus they don’t charge for your bags, but longer distance they do charge for the bags ( one city to another).Doesn’t matter if you are local or tourists. In some cases somebody knows you are tourists then they don’t charge your bags.
Âm thanh và hình ảnh về đất nước việt nam thật tuyệt vời
Well, I have seen so many of your vlogs. Finally I couldn’t resist declaring that the woman of yours is a real beauty...
I believe you. Even though most have started to self disciplined about trashing, but there is still a problem with a large number of people doing it.
I like Carol's moxy. Good vlog. New subscriber here. I agree with standing your ground when it comes to scams. When people treat me fairly, I may give them extra for good karma. Cheers
Thank you for picking up the trash. I've been doing the same everywhere I go.
I'm I really first, ha ha.
haha the day has come!
Wow nice Airbnb !
Ótimo video ! Bom saber
Paty Chesters thanks!
them scams,..... as well as ocean trash @ 12:40 can be a huuuggee turn off for ppl visiting that country.....great vlog 👍
007thematrix007 cheers!
In 1990, all entrance tickets to state run places costed foreigners 10 times more than locals. Some other countries ( eg air fare in Peru ) at this 2020 still charge tourists more than Peruvians
About the ocean pollution, I swam in Hoi An but haven't had an issue. On the other hand, I had one of the worst experiences in Sanur, Bali with what can be described as a tidal wave of garbage. The ocean is polluted everywhere and we need to stop treating it like a dumpster. We need to clean up our home immediately.
had the same problem. going from da nang to hoi an they wouldn't let us on the bus unless we paid 4 times more. haggled down to three then contacted the bus company on their facebook page and gave them the bus no which is displayed on the inside of the bus. a minute later the conductor got a phone call and after that he gave us our money back.
going back to da nang, we just simply refused to pay any more. the bus was so full, he couldn't have kicked us off if he tried. visit www.globaltreats.net for south east asia travel tips.
Probably a silly question.. but how big or how many were the memory cards you used to capture all this video footage.. . The vids were brill keep it up really enjoyed them ... maybe some footage of eating and prices too..... THANKS AGAIN ..we are off to Hoi An 2nd Nov 2019
You are lucky that your luggage not been thrown out. Just because more 10,000 vnd ($0.50), you might asked to get off from the bus in the middle of no where. If you complain of scam, every where in the world sure have scammers, its depend on your luck. If you afraid been scam, why you not arrange your transport at your hotel/hostel even thought is more expensive than the bus you taken.
MyMusicMyLife So true. You must pick your fight. In a situation where they have the upper hand and let’s say decided to throw you off the bus in the middle of nowhere it’s just not worth it....you are in their country. You may end up being at the mercy of corrupt police who will not help or hear you out esp over 40c. People in third world countries get cheated on by their own people who hold the upper hand too and they just pay up after the assessing the situation, knowing it could get worse. We travel a lot & have learnt this as well.
Good on you guys to confront with that bus guy. I am Vietnamese, you are correct, for the public bus, you only have to pay accordingly to the fare guides shown on the bus. there is no surcharge for the extra bags, plenty of Vietnamese people carry bags on the bus for their daily market.
enjoy your trip.
In the most of the countries you have to pay for big bags
Been traveling 8 months and never been charged extra, always get on buses so definitely not most countries
@@JumpingPlaces me too. They never charge...but very often there are rules posted inside the bus...and according the rules you should pay for large luggage.
@@2003Aidas yeah but this bus is different, there are blogs about this bus.. sometimes they charge 40k-50k even. some people said they went one way and got charged one price and then came back on the same bus and got charged higher so they are just scamming. I can even put our bags under our legs or on our lap... doesnt actually take up another persons space, had to do that in many countries for short distance rides. Plus not exactly taking someones space up on an empty bus and he put our bags on the floor lol not on a seat
It’s sad to see the ocean with so much rubbish floating around, Same as Thailand 🇹🇭🙀🤔🤔At least you did your bit ⁉️⁉️👍👍
There is, and always was" Vietnam Price", and foreigner price. The difference for a westerner is negligible. The country is wonderful, with the warmest people I have ever met.
Thanks for the video, but please don't make it about the scam, which was pretty minor. 10,000 dong is about 50 cents, and you're clearly making money from your travels in Viet Nam. I don't think the locals are getting a piece of that, and they might view what you're doing the way you view extra charges on the bus. I've spent years in SE Asia, and I don't run into scams every day. Finally, I couldn't help but notice that you were wearing beach gear at a temple complex. Take a cue from the people around you when it comes to dress. : )
Hes a stray dog that dont know anything about how poor these people are. counting hes pennies while he walks around arguing over pennies.
you have a point there. I believe the country does benefit from bis vlogs, as many of us will be viewing him before we prepare to visit Vietnam. Vlogging is the best way to promote a country in ma opinion.
You can't condone a scam just because it's a small amount of money. Scam is scam and should not be condoned.
It's a scam! If you're okay with it then that's you. Some of us have a problem with it.
@@aubreysequeira2297 promote a country while accuse it to be scum ?
Nice video ,on principle its annoying to be overcharged but if you argue it can spoil your day ,Sometimes i laugh tell them there wrong and give a little extra and tell them its a tip .
Scammers are everywhere in the World. You don't need to point that out because all travelers do know that . Embrace the beauty of each country and the culture. Peace out..
Oh really?? Yes and it helps to know what scams are out there, ironically you sound like someone who hasn't left home yet..Peace out!!
Yeah there's a lot of scams but there's not two tier pricing systems in a lot of other countries foreigners in this country get charged Whiteface prices just because of our color you shouldn't be stealing and scamming your guests
Love vietnam but hated locals scam. I ate pho I paid different what locals paid. I guess every country I visited there is always a scam

Yeah Halong Bay was so polluted. Really sad and disappointing
Yeah not sure how they let it get that bad, worst we have ever seen.
Sry U got scammed by the bus driver, but glad U enjoyed the beaches n temple tho. Thanks for sharing.
*_Lesson to learn here is....don't go to Vietnam. I've never been there but because of all that I'v been reading about different scams in Vietnam make me scared to go there._* 😣
I got scam a lot worse than that. Multiple times too!! But the principle is the same. Fight for your right!
I live in koh samui thailand, and my best friends are a couple from Brazil who live in Penang, Malaysia....i love the Brazilian people, and your girl is exquisite....you should definitely let her speak and be shown more in your vlogs....

i'm 60 and wish I could walk far, changed the last two years, sucks getting old
I am 70 and can walk far with a 20 kg backpack ..Get off your ass ,and dont give in to age .
very nice but why you did not use the drone :) in the beach and in the temple !! :)
Danang is pretty strict with drones i heard, if you fly into the danang airport they confiscate your drone..the only airport that does that in vietnam
I'm wondering why kind of backpack Carol is using! Please let me know!
Osprey Fairview 55L 😁
Well done you guys stand your ground that's one thing i see on all my trips scams everywhere
Cheers bro!
It’s not a scam.Its the policy for the bus to charge extra for bags ect...because it takes up more room and weight.If it’s a smaller bag then it’s 10,000 d or if it’s big one that takes up a seat then the it’s full price of the ticket
How much on food and drinks did you spend daily?
When u coming back to the philippines.i miss ur tropical vlogs
Probably early next year, but there should be some tropical vids soon :D
The truth is hurt, but it's the true y'all.... Thanks for sharing! You're right it's a principal NOT the dollars.........You they can't explains the reason why, then it's intentionally scam---unless they've the price written down on the bus so people know! Every country tho........I got scam on Taxi in America all the times, thanks gosh for Ubers and Lyft nowadays hugs
