[@JasonMcGarva]

I love that you actually showed the stuff being taken. It's good to see what it really looks like.

[@ArturoHernandez-lz1if]

Thank you, l was in your beautiful Saigon city, it is safety and wonderful people.

[@dondondon1133]

need more good people like you guys in saigon.

[@MissLizaYangonMyanmar]

Thank you for making this. I lived in Chile and its the same. I know how much you love your country and how reluctannt people are to talk about these things so I really really thank you

[@Luky2209]

Where did you find these guys who played thieves? By their skill it looks that they are real snatchers :D

[@trianglehat6994]

Back-up career.

[@Poliwhirltrainer35]

They weren't actors. They were live, unscripted criminals. Its just that common.

[@johncarter6852]

😂🤣😅

[@Pulsarr88]

My friend got his phone stolen like that on the first 10 minutes in Saigon. :D

[@tommymai3062]

Al Bunda hahahahhahha

[@jessiesantos8308]

I went to Vietnam. Seriously I had such a wonderful time. It felt really safe.

[@GordyThomas]

That was pretty good, with one exception: in the last scene where the woman is protecting her necklace, she waves her arm in the air; the arm where she is wearing a wristwatch. When I was stationed in Da Nang in U.S. Army, every day someone riding through town in a jeep would have their wristwatch torn from their arm. I think when people are careful, they will discover that Vietnam is a wonderful country, with mostly honest people. Thank you!

[@renitenterrentner5579]

50 years ago I was in DaNang. I learnd, while driving my jeep wearing my watch on my right arm.

[@BarryWaterlow]

*Great video with a wonderfully mischievous sense of humour!*

[@tedybar2002]

great tape, people have to realize this can can happen in any large city in any country.

[@Backofthebiketours]

+Theodore Narvaez Absolutely! Whether it is Saigon, New York, Paris, people should be careful.

[@danwong5331]

Theodore Narvaez it happen every where but small country it us extreme just careful all the time that what ithink and people like to show off all value I would suggest don’t do it in Vietnamese and Paris than it is ok just hide all. Ash and wallet and all stuff cost you cash that all ihave to says

[@elderinmoi1571]

Theodore Narvaez ok. But to advise people not to go outside with anything that looks like it is worth something is not common for any city in any country. At least not in my country although times are changing here as well. But that has other sad reasons ....

[@theartofcareerfreedom]

Lovely video you have here. You have great skills.

[@廖方徐]

I was constantly reminded and scolded to put my phone in the pocket so many times by Vietnamese when I took photos on the streets, or when I ate a bowl of pho and placed the phone on the table. Even though luckily I never been robbed, it does show it's a very serious thing in Vietnam.

[@sharud5295]

It is applicable everywhere . Thanks for uploading

I'll have to create an update to this video soon and let everyone know about the Grab app as well. I highly recommend that if you need to get to your hotel from the airport. I hope you were able to download and use that app for the rest of your adventure in Vietnam.

[@Emerald007007]

I'm going there in March. From Ireland.

[@Backofthebiketours]

Have a safe trip! And let us know if you have any questions about Saigon or Vietnam :-)

[@Emerald007007]

***** do you recommend using cash or card and is it only recommended to use approved banks?

[@Backofthebiketours]

We do recommend bringing some cash with you here as many markets/streetfood stalls won't be able to take your card ;-) Though almost every ATMs here accept foreign credit cards

[@Emerald007007]

***** this may seem like a silly question but are there any sprays or incense type candels I can buy for my room to keep away mosquitoes ?

[@PikabooxxD]

What most people don't realize is that most people who got their stuff snatched got a chance to get it back. But, they're afraid the thief might have a knife and of being harm. They're slow to react or they just have bad luck because the thief is quick and disappear within 5 seconds. Stay safe fella and have fun while in Vietnam. I live here and I haven't got anything stolen YET.

[@hoangchinh61]

best Pho place to eat is in Bao Loc: they have the best Pho ( beef noodle soups) and alot cheaper than in Saigon; quan an Nguyen o ngay ke cong nha tho Dai Loc thon xa 12, xa Loc Thanh, chuyen ve Pho bo, bun bo, bo kho , it's the best food i have ate in vietnam

[@gegasbaher1012]

[@dessean1]

Great video. It really doesn't matter where you travel to throughout the world you will encounter theft if you don't use common sense & make yourself aware of your surroundings.

[@josephtan1818]

Pro tips: bring cardigan with you and put your purse/sling bag under your cargogan, this will make snatch and grab more difficult
