I heard that tourists have been taken for a ride or fleece by unscrupulous or undesirable people.

What are other things that I should be aware of. Please help, I am a senior citizen.

Thanking you guys in advance.

get out of custom, keep to your left and go straight till the end when you see the whole row of taxi, dont take any of it..... go to the back near burger king and look for vinasun taxi is a white colour one or majinin taxi in green ... i think these two more safe by meter

If you are staying near to airport,walk out of the airport to the main road and take the motorbike taxI.
If you are stay at D1, take the bus.read the earlier posts for instructions.

The instructions for finding taxis are ok until #3 (apart from the fact that you will exit the ARRIVALS and not the departures). However, my experience is to turn left outside and look for Vinasun taxi there.

The very complicated instructions to enter the terminal again so as to find a taxi at Departures seems completely unnecessary as there are Vinasun taxis just outside Arrivals.

Learn some basic tieng viet. Why limit yourself to 2-3% of VBs. (whom speak your language)

It is like eating fishball noodle without fishball; or eating pizza without cheese.
