Hello, I had incident that occurred at Tan Son Nhat Airport while I was departing Vietnam.

Hello,I had incident that occurred at Tan Son Nhat Airport while I was departing Vietnam. After checking in my luggage, I proceeded to the security checkpoint. While standing in line, I was called to a control room where baggage is scanned.There were no illegal or prohibited items in my luggage. However, the employee asked me for money in order for my luggage to pass through. I found this request unusual and initially declined. She then insisted and suggested that I give 500,000 VND as a tip.In an effort to resolve the situation and continue with my departure, I opened my wallet intending to give a smaller amount (100,000 VND). While I was searching for smaller bills, the employee reached into my wallet and took 500,000 VND without my consent.I would like to know if this is standard practice, as it appeared inappropriate and concerning.

    Unfortunately it happens, yes. Tourists don’t see the corruption going on. My wife will tell you, she’s Vietnamese.

    Slow trolling day. Trolls are known to copy and paste stories from elsewhere, changing certain details, exaggerating and embellishing.

    Nope. You should get their name. That’s usually enough to get them to stop.

    It s a nice country but they are unbearable with « tips » everywhere everytime and agressive with that. It s a real budget to provide
