IDK if I'd necessarily call this a "scam". It seems more like someone just making some extra money on the side. Of course no one is gonna offer you the same kind of service as others for a lower price. You even said yourself, you got what you paid for. The only thing about it that was "scammy" is changing the agreed upon price. That's one thing that never sits well with me. But it could've been far worse. Regardless, if someone offers you a chance to "skip the line", there's usually some sort of catch. I honestly don't mind people making money on the side, but I want to know exactly what I'm getting, and don't try to change the deal.

He's not part of the gang that controls three touristy spot. That's why he was so cheap, he doesn't have to pay the "fee" for access to the bridge area. But he also can't go there 🫤

Hi, yes I agree. We didn't have a concrete plan to start a channel when we went so recorded everything incorrectly ! But we are learning as we go along, thanks for the feedback ( :

I noticed in March that the Thu Bon river water is looking the cleanest it has in years. Except downstream where all those lanterns go, littering the banks and fouling the water. Please practice responsible tourism.

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.😢

Oh that's frustrating. . Luckily for us, the majority of our experience there was very good except this one incident.
