How to prevent the tourist trap in Vietnam's tourist shopping shady

Beware of being blackmailed by taxi drivers.

There are all kinds of taxis in Vietnam airport, but in order not to be blackmailed, you'd better book them directly from the hotel. You don't have to pay the toll for cycling, so if your driver asks you to pay the toll, you can refuse it directly. In addition, drivers in Vietnam pay little attention to traffic rules. You should always remind drivers not to talk on the phone while driving, because talking on the phone while driving is likely to cause drivers to go in the wrong lane and consume more gasoline, which means you have to pay more fares. Most importantly, there are still security risks when driving and talking on the phone.

Confusing Vietnamese currency

A large number of denominations with different values make Vietnamese currency easily confused. Only by remembering the denominations of these currencies clearly, will you not treat 100 yuan as 10 yuan flower. The monetary unit in Vietnam is the Netherlands guilder, and 1 yuan is equivalent to 3505 guilders. One suggestion: when you arrive in Vietnam, you can remember the denomination of money according to its color. For example, the blue currency is equivalent to 30 yuan RMB.

Pay attention to eating seafood. Some restaurants can be full of seafood, and even the ropes tied outside are valuable. Vietnam Youth Daily reported that a few days ago, Vietnamese domestic tourists ordered a sea crab in a restaurant in the coastal city of Nha Trang. Before cooking, their weight was 1.2 kg, but after cooking, the crabs were several times smaller, only 400 grams. In the face of the surprised expression of the guests, the store explained that "the crab will definitely lose weight after cooking." In addition, the weight of the rope that binds the crab is also included. "

The "black tricycle" here will never make tourists feel a little romantic. These unlicensed three-wheeled drivers start to look for scattered foreign tourists around the market every morning. Once they have a job, they show the guests around. When you arrive at your destination, you will charge more for various reasons, or even leave without changing money. Because the driver of the "black tricycle" covered the license plate number with cloth, the cheated passengers could not complain.

On the streets of Vietnam, vendors selling coconuts and other fruits are forced to buy from tourists. These vendors are mainly active around tourist attractions, targeting foreign tourists. They took the initiative to chat up foreign guests in English, and then cut a coconut and sent it to the guests without waiting for their consent. When asked about the price, 65,438+10,000 Vietnamese dong (about 30 yuan RMB) is 5 to 10 times the normal selling price. If the guests don't want to buy, the vendors will try their best to pester them. Most foreign tourists have to buy high-priced coconuts in order not to make trouble, and some guests have disputes or even physical conflicts with vendors.

Then there is the lack of weight when shopping, playing hooligans in front of guests. If you don't accept it, the vendors around you will argue with you like flies, as if we cheated the vendors. . .
