Big Money SCAM Vietnam! Time To Go Home!

Every airport in the world is expensive, even Bangkok 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Same thing happened to me in Tijuana many years ago

First to comment
😅

Lovely hotel

Won't the hotel do money exchanges so you don't have to go to the street? Really pisses me off and ruins a trip when people work so hard to scam you.

Once again I loved it
Thanks for bringing us along

Vietnam will never be a place for me. I hope you are safe and you enjoyed your stay. Many blessings from North Texas.❤

I recently spent 3 weeks in Vietnam, Saigon , Da Nang , La Trang
Nice but I won’t be back ,

Next time, if you’re paying cash, take a video of you counting it, showing the money on the camera and giving it to the server. You could be nonchalant about it and just act like you’re saying what a great deal it is for all you get.

Sorry you got scammed with the money switch. I was in Indonesia and exchanged money and the man switched it too. Looks like you have a verry nice time.

Week starting the ninth two years prior to the pandemic and the people were beautiful but I think in time I have woken up to scamming

Thanks for the all the videos of Vietnam, all very good. It's not good for them to be scamming tourists, because in the future when people realize it they won't be traveling there much and there hurting there income. So you made it back to Thailand, home again. Have a great day in PKK.

You go the wrong place brother time to come back Thailand 🇹🇭 home always here in Thailand

Thanks as always for the channel plug! Getting scammed sucked but it's just a slight speed bump on the travel road, the journey continues!

Very informative. Thank you

Hi Joe great videos from your trip to Vietnam.
Your son is German and I have a lot of German friends living here in Sweden,great people and expert on beer and sausages 😀

you should get priority pass thru a travel credit card to hit lounges in bangkok aiport also the one in Da Nang is great free buffet and drinks massage chairs and computer area... All the international airports pass lounges have been great most with showers as well also can get in guests...

Unfortunately, airport prices are expensive all over the world. I fly out of Chiang Mai a week or so ago and I think I paid about Aud$10 for a coffee and muffin - lucky they were both every good. In Sydney airport its not unusual to pay Aud $20 for a beer.

Vietnam is the only place we’ve ever been scammed in fifty years of travelling Asia and your right it does leave a bad taste especially when in our case nearly every time you spend money the person you are dealing with is dishonest.

Hello Joe and Gift, welcome home, no scammers at your home, only freeloading monkeys swimming in the pool, lying on the loungers, cooking BBQ and the things they were doing in your bed can not be said here 😮😮😮 All good now, I threatened them with Slim Whitman- When I'm calling you and they all ran away,😂😂😂. Rest, Revive, and Regenerate. Great video, sad about the scams but great adventures. 10 / 10 Keep Well, Stay Safe, my friends.

I travel a lot and I use WISE visa debit card, you should look it up great exchange rates and over 40 currencies. So once you are say in Vietnam
or Europe you get the currency of the country you are in. That way you don't have to worry about money changers as with your WISE card
you pay in local currency. We just got back from Europe, Maldives and Thailand and the card was so great. Look it up it will be good for you.

Hi joe, May I ask, where you book the van going from the BBK airport to Hua Hin?

Thank you for all your videos from Vietnam. I have travelled a lot, but Vietnam has never been on my list. So this was really helpful for me, I will visit Da Nang and HoiAn next year for sure. You guys are the best, you are gifts that keep on giving. Btw, I`m sorry about these scams. At least when you exchange money, always count them yourself before you leave the booth, do not trust the tellers. This scam happens in Thailand and Indonesia as well, they are quite clever, and difficult to discover. But insisting on counting it again, the missing money magically appears when they get the money back. Thanks again 😊😊

To bad about the scam. These guys are so slick about it. Like you say the amount was not to bad in dollars but for them must have been a lot.

I was telling my dentist about ur trip he wants to go there he heard adout dragon bridge his name is Jodi also enjoyed watching ur trip😊😊

Ur a smart man ❤for 💝 😊😊

Glad you are back safe.

That 55 dollar hotel looks like 5 star Amazing bargain
Some of that gym equipment is Techno gym the best there is
Vietnamese are generally very nice but it does have a reputation for scammers so always have your guard up .
As a Saigon expat I do the reverse of what you do I go every six months to Thailand absolutely love Thailand nice to go to somewhere half way normal

We had a bad experience in Vietnam the sellers were very disrespectful at a clothing market. Their prices were quoted ten times what it should be when I said no thanks the lady said you don’t love your wife. My wife was standing there. If I have another bad experience in Vietnam on this trip I’ll never return. We’ve never had this problem in Thailand.

Looks like a great trip.

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences, hope it didn’t ruin your time there, so nice to be able to experience these destinations ❤🍷

Great tour of Vietnam Joe. Very informative. After 3 weeks it’s good to be going homes!

I didn't like Vietnam at all.
Even Cambodia is better.
Thank God for Thailand ! 😊

You can get scamed even at the airport by customs, and refused entry over a little thing , no problem.
Always have some cash for the bribes .....😮

So glad that you had a smooth and safe journey home in style. It has been a great trip and I really do appreciate the work that you put in to take us along with you. God bless you all 😀🙏

Name the restaurant I live in Vietnam we need to expose the people
Vietnam people are basically really good people

To all the comments on Viet Nam as having too many scams. You guys act as if Thailand is scam free. As soon as you depart the plane in Bangkok, you're a target from the tuk tuk driver to the touts in between! So please spare me the difference in both countries. Scams are everywhere, and they're not just exclusive to one particular country. Viet Nam is beloved by foreigners who lived and worked there. So let's not pretend it's a terrible place to visit.

Look up the restaurant in Trustpilot, if they are not there give them a score ;)

I got scammed right in Bangkok when trying to catch a boat from a floating market back to the city. Tell me if I had or didn't have bad taste in my mouth. I have heard tourists got scammed in Europe and USA as well so what is the difference? Probably when you got scammed in Europe it won't be $20 but hundreds.

The video's tittle "BIG MONEY SCAM..." and it is $20 scam. Is it a like bait or something like that? Money scam can happen anywhere in the world.

Living here in Mexico for decades, retired American, no scams here. 😂

What hotel in DaNang did you stay at with the buffet?

Scammed in Vietnam? Say it ain't so!! lol. My wife is Viet, When she's seen with me, they'll try to scam. You ought to see her go off on scammers. But, it is tiring. I have a Vietnamese visa exemption, about $75/5years. So much easier than a Thailand 'O' visa. Guess where we stay? It's not Vietnam. lol.

Thumbs up 👍 Gift & Joe…..

We still haven't made it to Da Nang. Our next domestic trip is to Nha Trang. You can google that if you don't know where that is. I believe it is closer to Saigon, about 1/3 of the way up to Da Nang. Our friends are planning it so I don't know if it will be before or after our beautiful trip to PKK in January. ❤

Nice content on Vietnam

I got scammed too in Da nang, in some big shop selling souvenirs, they tried to give methe wrong change and when i noticed, as nothing he gave me my exchange.

Seriously 😂
