Hanoi

[Calaglin]

This is a warning to fellow samsters... Just kena scammed in Hanoi...

Was chilling out in 17 saloon but feels like nothings gonna happen as too many AMDK around... hence left early and wanted to go back hotel. The taxi driver suddenly recommend me a place to get massage + FJ @ 500k which I think is a good deal. Small head take over big head, decide to go with him.

Once at the place, I even confirm 500k is all-in and the guy in charge confirm this. End up no FJ, only HJ and they count in all the massage oil, soap, sua da, napkin costs and each item cost 500k. So total cost for massage + HJ is actually 2.5m and tips to girl. Not wanting to make a scene as they have 5 guys in the shop and I am only 1, I gave them all the money in my wallet which is about 2m, and left me with 100k to take taxi back.

The place is at a road name "nguyen nhu do" near moevenpick hotel. and lesson learned...never to trust the taxi drivers when they say they have good lobangs... its nv good since they get commission from the joint...

think its better to go back to my usual hangout in BKK is better and much cheaper hihihi

Do most Hanoi taxi drivers always out to cheat tourists in cohort with gangsters ? What about if we ask only those reliable taxi drivers from companies such as Hanoi taxi rather than from outstation taxi ?. In most capital, the most reliable guide for newbies are likely to be either the bellboy or the taxi driver or the becak driver. they will take their 10% or so commission from the house and also perhaps a tip from the satisfied client. they seldom take you to be rip off and blackmail by gangsters. Most senior here seldom disclose the safe places for fear of lost of cover. if we paid our tour guide a night fee say US$50 to show us around such places, do any senior here think is a safer alternative. ? Or it is all a scam in Vietnam ?

JUST THINK OF IT LOGICALLY...how can u say MOST taxi drivers firstly...secondly getting 50% of a scam ie 1mill is better than taking 10% commission right..so is it enticing to scam SURE IS...now if you take a driver from a reputable company, the company is reputable because it makes sure drivers dont overchatge because if they do you will make a complaint reporting the driver..now if the driver take u to a black shop and u get ripped off will u make a complaint.."excuse me but you driver took me to a illegal activity and i let my small head take over big head"
Now to the final option, the guide who doenst need your 50usd is the most reputable as no need to scam u...(work for a nite earn 50usd or send you to black shop and earn 50% commission also abt 50usd but take 5 mins) but who works a normal job and only makes 50usd a nite...so i think best bet is to offer something more generous or DIY..explore and risk it yourself then u can swap info with people who also have reliable sources

holy cow.Then, I guess I will just have to walk around the city rather than take taxi or the motorbike. Any problems with just walking around the streets of Old quarter and surroundings in Hanoi before 10pm. Thanks for the warning, bro.

If u walk, then u will have 2 problems

#1 Where to go
How far can you get on foot?

#2 You will get con anyway
By con artist on foot or targetting you.

So if u are afraid to be conned, then better stay in Sillypore where it is generally safer.
