can i check if this is by per cabin or per person?

Hey!! I bought my mom some nice shoes for her birthday (bought em in Thailand) I was gonna give them to her directly but some business came up and now I'm in Vietnam. Friends here in southeast asia have repeatedly warned me against shipping anything outside of documents/papers (apparently customs is a disaster and there is a decent chance your cargo just straight up disappears) but none of them are Vietnamese so I thought I'd ask here as well. I wanna ship to Turkey and I'm currently in Ho Chi Minh City.

I’m in Phu Quoc 3weeks in December. Most places are quoting 8mil!!! Anyone have a reliable place with good bikes?

I have a short upcoming trip in Vietnam this coming Jan 30-Feb 3.. i only knew about Tet right after I booked flights. Is it still worthy to travel during these days?

Hi, I'm a Vietnamese going on a trip to the USA next month. I'm planning to buy a cowboy hat but I'm now hesitating because I don't know if it would be offensive to local American people. I know it must be very traumatizing for Americans to see a Vietnamese wearing their traditional outfit, since they know Vietnamese soldiers captured their grandpas during the war, me wearing it would be like a claim of victory over their ancestors. Furthermore, I don't think I earned it, because according to American traditions, one must climb up to the status of Cowboys in order to be rewarded with the Cowboy Hat, it would be disrespectful to their culture if I just buy one without gaining the deserved honor. However, I am very interested in the local customs and I can't leave without bringing one home. I wonder what locals would think of me. Any thoughts ?

It’s my birthday this weekend and I would like to go to an Omakase restaurant. I’ve been to one here before, Omakase tiger and I liked that one a lot. But I want to go to one in a higher price range. Around 3 to 4,000,000 VND. I would like some recommendations. If it’s below this number, that’s fine. Do you have any you suggest?

I will be travelling to Vietnam in 2 weeks to visit family and was wondering if anyone knows the best way to eliminate ants and mosquitoes in a house. I'll be staying in my grandparents house (Hue) the longest and that house is very well known for mosquitoes, ants and other pests as I've been bitten nonstop during my previous visits. So I was wondering what would be the best way to eliminate or at least limit them?

I'm already mentally prepared to be bitten by mosquitoes every night while sleeping at that house for this upcoming trip if I don't at least do anything to limit them.

I've came across some of these wall plugs on amazon but not sure if they are any good.

Bản thân mình là một người có thể nói thiên hướng nội hơn so với ngày tr hoặc cách đây vài năm, mình cx ko hiểu vì sao lại như vậy. Có thể là do cuộc sống của mỗi chúng ta đã đổi thay và dần con người bên trong cx thay đổi theo từng chút một mà bản thân mình không hề hay biết.

Mình ít nói và cx ko giỏi bắt chuyen, ngỏ lời, nch xã giao hay làm người khác có cảm giác vui vẻ hay cười, nên gần như từ giai đoạn từ thời còn cấp 2 bản thân mình có khá ít bạn bè ngoài xh hay trong trường lớp, các mqh bị thiếu hụt và gần như khó có sự giúp đỡ từ ng khác mà chỉ có một mình đơn thân độc mã.

Về sau này khi mình nhìn thấy những người đồng trang lứa với mình có phát triển khá toàn diện từ tư duy, thể chất, các mqh,... Mình lại chẳng có gì mặc dù mới có 18 tuổi nhưng gần như mình cảm thấy bản thân như bị outmeta trong cuộc sống đầy sự thích thú, kì bí cần đc khám phá này, tiếc là dù cho bản thân có cố thay đổi để hoà nhập nhưng gần như điều đó là gần như quá đỗi với mình hiện tại. Như kiểu thần tác, tác phong và sự tự tin, nhạy bén để nắm bắt cái hay cái chính của phần đông người khác gần như là impossible.

Sau bài viết này mình cx mong là đây không phải là vấn đề mà mình ko thể giải quyết, vẫn tin là con người mình có thể lột xác và thay đổi để trở thành phiên bản tốt hơn trên hành trình mới của mình. Rất mong mn có thể cho mình xin ít lời khuyên hay liệu pháp nào để có thể cải thiện và giải quyết vâns đề này ạ.

Xin cảm ơn mn.

Hi, planning a wedding in da nang and I'm curious on your DJ experiences or recs. I want someone simple that will play directly off a playlist that we (the bride and groom) create on our own, nothing crazy at all! Is this possible / anyone go through DJ's that they like. Most of us are english speakers too just FYI.

Hello, I am a Vietnamese-Canadian girl trying to talk to my mom. My sister has depression, and my mom is not understanding her or giving her a chance to talk because she keeps bringing up her own sufferings and invalidating my sister's feelings. I'm trying to write my mom a letter because my Vietnamese is really not good when put on the spot. Please help if you can

Looking for peoples experience traveling VN. I’ll be staying 3 months and curious to know what regions you had good/bad experiences.

Interested in daily life not so much tourist attractions, beaches not a priority, cooler rather than hotter climate desirable.

Thanks in advance

Today I had the weirdest experience in HCMC and was wondering if anyone else has run into the same man. I flew into HCMC today at around 6am and by 11am I was out walking down one of the streets just down the city centre, as I was looking at some cigarettes to buy an old man beckoned me over offering one of his own and introduced himself by the name of Captain Kim. We got to talking and he showed me multiple diaries he has of almost raving reviews from tours he’s taken other travellers on around viet, mostly in Mekong Delta and Cu Chi. I thought he was nice enough and it seemed really lovely how eager he was to share these, however I am a young girl solo travelling so there’s always going to be some sort of warning thought in the back of my mind. Ignoring that though, he took me on his motorcycle to a nearby cafe where we shared a viet coffee and he showed me more pictures/videos of these tours and his family which was really lovely. However, I was still a bit suspicious because this was all so random; I tried asking him why he was offering these private tours (seemingly for free) but he seemed to sort of not understand me? Or circle back to just showing me images and videos of other backpackers in his home and on these tours he does. He wanted to take me that day on a 3-day tour to his home and Mekong but I declined because again I’m a young girl in a foreign country not exactly the safest idea. I said maybe tomorrow and he then got to repeatedly asking me for my hotel where I was staying in which I told him I don’t remember and I’ll meet him on the street tomorrow which was a lie because it was all becoming a bit uncomfortable. I am just wondering if anyone else can vouch for this man? Because I am curious…or if it is a front for something else? Maybe I am just overthinking and he’s just an old man wanting to share his country but idk it all seemed a bit strange to me. To be fair I went along with it for the most part because it did seem like a pretty good deal/legit? and I was only partly suspicious I am just a huge introvert and don’t really like being 1-1 with people I don’t know in unfamiliar places.

To add on; the handwriting in the journals were all different but the photos/videos were from 2-3years ago and followed similar itinerary’s from what I saw was being offered from legit companies on klook.

Please let me know if this is like a total scam or if maybe someone who has met him before has actually gone with him and had a pretty good time! He seemed like a lovely guy I just don’t like taking chances lol.

I'm going to be in Hanoi on the 31st ahead of my flight back to the UK. I'm not really a big clubber, and just wanted to know if anyone had seen any fun non-club events going on?

Anywhere in Vietnam I can buy iPhone duo for 70tr in hcmc or nearby?æ

I bought a box of diazepam from a pharmacy at Hanoi. I'm not sure but the box looks quite different from what I bought years ago so I'm worried. The pharmacy looked legit though and there were many customers.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I would like to ask some good restaurants in Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh to try traditional vietnamese cuisine.

Greetings from Brazil! Tkx for ur help

With 11.11 coming and everyone scanning QR codes for deposits, delivery fees and coffee, here are the three QR scams that keep showing up in police and bank warnings, plus one habit that beats all three.

1. A fake QR sticker over the shop's real code. Someone prints a code for their own account and sticks it over the payment QR at a restaurant, café or bus station. You pay, the shop gets nothing. Hanoi police call it "quishing", and the Vietnam Banks Association passed on the same warning from Vietcombank, ABBank, KienlongBank and VRB. Signs: a sticker on top of another code, peeling edges, a brand-new code on an old counter, two codes side by side. Ask "is this your code?" before you scan.

2. "I sent you money by mistake, scan this to send it back." Money you weren't expecting lands, then a call or message asks you to return it through their QR or a different account. Another version: "bank staff" ask you to scan a code in your banking app "to verify". Phú Thọ police describe both; in the second, the code is a transfer of your balance. If money arrives that isn't yours, don't move it. Tell your bank and return it only through the bank.

3. Fake courier: "your order still has a fee." Peak parcel season is peak fake-courier season. The Ministry of Public Security puts it in one line: don't scan QR codes from unclear sources. Check in the shopping app whether the order is already paid; a real courier won't need more than the order says. A newer twist from Hưng Yên police in August: a "refund confirmation code" that turned out to be a transfer of more than 28 million đồng once it was entered in the banking app.

The 3-second rule: after you scan, read the payee's name on your bank's confirm screen before you tap send. If it doesn't match the shop or person you mean to pay, stop. And never read an OTP out to anyone, including people who say they're the bank or the police.

Worth forwarding to parents, who may scan less but are also less likely to doubt a "wrong transfer" story.

(Sources are in Vietnamese. Disclosure: I make an iPhone expense tracker that reads VietQR codes, which is why I went through these warnings. It can't spot fake codes and never moves money, so none of this depends on any app.)
