    Four of us were also scammed in Hanoi by a taxi driver. We negotiated a fare to be brought to a mall 30 minutes away. He took our money and drop us off to a mall not even within 6 minutes drive. I hope Vietnamese government can do something about it. Tourism is booming in the country. Bad experiences like these are not good at all.😢

    I've been to Vietnam for extended periods three times over the past two years, mostly in the Hanoi, Da Nang/Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City areas. One thing I know the Government is concerned about is the dismal rate of tourists returning to the country after one visit, as compared to its neighbors like Thailand. They tend to attribute that to the considerable pollution problems in the larger cities and, also, to that fact that trash is EVERYWHERE. There is one factor, though, that dawned on me early on. More than any other S.E. Asian country, everywhere I went in Vietnam I felt like a "mark." Merchants, taxi drivers, currency exchange places seem to ALWAYS be looking for ways to take advantage of tourists! I broke my arm outside Hanoi on one trip and asked for a doctor when I got back to my hotel. The concierge took care of everything, even going outside to implore the taxi driver taking me to the hospital to NOT ream me - to no avail. The ride TO the hospital was considerably more expensive than the ride back. I'm reminded of another video where a couple from the United States was buying two mangoes from a street vendor - for $50 USD. Two mangoes...

    • @TravelwithCoconutJoe
      @TravelwithCoconutJoe 2 месяца назад

      Oh wow, sorry you felt like a mark. I hope the hospital visit went ok. This was really the only problem we encountered. I think it probably happens more in the big cities and busy tourist areas.. We really tried to know our prices, shop around because yes even the taxi rides can have different prices.

      Hi thanks, we are back home, no longer in Vietnam. We were ok , it was just very misleading and frustrating. The people there are great but unfortunately, like anywhere, you have to be cautious. We were caught off guard and wanted people to be aware and make sure its very clear what they may be bargaining for.

    Hi, we stayed at the Cordial Hotel... so our first impression was amazing. We were received very nicely by the staf, got a welcome drink and though we were two hours early, we could check in after 15 minutes. The hotel was everything you mentioned, but with a few things I didn't like. The pool had an amazing view. But the floor of the pool itself felt like it hadn't been cleaned for a while, soft like there were algae growing in it. The room we had was great. It felt like old times when I was working as a flight attendant and stayed mainly in hotels like Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton etc... The fitness room was a disappointment. No air-conditioning and very small. And if I'm correctly not even windows... it looked more like a room that had no purpose and got some fitness equipment. I was not able to do anything there. The breakfast had many choices, but hardly anything for westerners. Except for the eggs there was not much that was appealing to me. We stayed three nights at the Wink hotel in the centre of the town before and that was much better, except for the location and the small (but very well equipped) room, for a similar price. In the lobby and in the restaurant there seemed to be a problem with the plumbing, because there was a smell of poo hanging around at certain areas of the room. When we checked out, the clerk tried to convince us to book transport to the airport via her and said that I would pay more than if I would do it myself. That was not true, I paid a little less and was even willing to pay more, because I prefer to have the Grab-booking on my phone and not on hers. In that way I can control better what is happening. The taxidriver asked about 10.000 Don less than she said it would cost. Not much, but honest. We had no really bad experiences, but decided that we (my wife and I live in Thailand) not go back to Vietnam. We like Malaysia for a holiday much better.

    The Charming Beauty Hotel is well maintained and great bang-for-buck. Avoid the double balcony if possible because it introduces more noise from outside. The only real con to this hotel is the hot lobby. The lobby is beautiful with plenty of seating area, but management only turns the AC on for like 2hrs a day.

    • @travelwithtony5767
      @travelwithtony5767 3 месяца назад

      Most budget hotels in Danang only run their AC’s on the hottest days for a few hours a day, if you expect them to do it all day every day it would increase the price of your stay by 30%. Not that hard to figure out if you apply just a small amount of common sense. Duh.

      Hi, I am from Canada so it probably works different here. 1).I purchased a ESIM card for the phone., therefore I didn't have my number 2) I notified my bank before I went but still was unable to get into anything. They wanted to send me a text for verification, which didn't work with a sim. However if I had the app it may have been easier.. 3 & 4. Im not sure , they tried to send me verification to use my credit card or go to online banking, which didn't work because I couldn't receive a text. I had to call them and talk to several people to be able to use my credit card for a few things. I will be looking for a different travel credit card . It was inconvenient . Sorry, I don't have the correct answers. being Canadian and it was my first time going there so I didn't really know what to expect.
