Thanks for the info golfer. Looks like others have been through this too.
It is so nice, and inexpensive, here in this beach town, it is hard to reconcile it with the nightmarish experience in the airport.
There is some other "gaslighting" stuff too they pulled when they did not offer wifi like other airports, futher alienating me
and preventing me from showing them my flight number and airlines, when requested, ending up with them barking at me in front of a crowd, adding insult to injury...
I posted this experience on Reddit too under "Vietnam Entry Scam" 2 days ago and someone has deleted the whole thread.
I have the overall feeling they do not want people to know what is going on there in the airport...and in response to Fireman's comment I went back
and there is no record of any cash paper trail, after refusing to take a credit card, so all things considered, I stand by my assertion this is a slick scam rather than an anomaly or misunderstanding...
