Hi everyone, uncomfortable problem happened. Bit of a read.I’m a foreign lady and took a sleeper bus booked it on 12go via TP Booking and then had an uncomfortable situation with a shuttle van driver who drops people off to their hotels after. He said i could sit in the front when I tried to sit in the back i thought okay hes just being friendly.So he dropped off a couple and my hotel was 5 minutes from there, i was thinking he was taking me to mine next, but no he proceeded to drive further away hand motioning to the other people behind me to be dropped off, I thought strange but thought he would loop back, the next spot wasnt too far only 13 min from my hotel at a drop off point where people and packages got unloaded. I also move back since my bags got moved to the sliding door. Okay then hes driving to my hotel im thinking perfect finally.But then he stops like 5 minutes away I thought hes lost and he comes round to the sliding door and opens it, I show him on the map where it is but he keeps trying to talk to me, he doesn’t speak English much, so I get out my translator on my phone, he wants to take me sightseeing at 7pm i said no thank you, he says hes fond of me and kisses my hand, I pointed to my finger and said im married no thank you, please take me to my hotel. He said he wants to take me on a date i said no i want to rest and want to get to my hotel. I had to keep asking him to just take me to my hotel, Im super uncomfortable at this point cuz hes right in the doorway and I’m stuck in this van. Eventually after saying no many times he takes me to my hotel.So after all that im wondering what to do? I will reach out online on the app and a whatsapp number that msg me, but i dont want this happening to other women, theres no way a driver should be behvaing this way to anyone. Do women report this to the tourism police? Do they do anything or is that a waste of time? Or what should I do? Just leave a bad review and write my situation warning others?Any insight would be helpful thanks!×××Update××× I sent a message to 12go customer support and messaged the whats app number for tp booking, they are sincerely sorry for my negative experience and are reaching out to the company they used and handle the driver, I asked for the name so we will see if they give me that when and if they find out.🤞Now I gotta figure out where or how to file that police report in Hue? I would ask my hotel but I might be leaving it tmrw from a different situation, so that could make things confusing and im also doing some sight seeing tmrw. So maybe I will wait a day or so and see where I end up.Also one last thing, does anyone know how I can leave a review on 12go? There doesnt seem to be an option. I even tried to find the TP Booking online to leave a review and I cant find anywhere even though they are all over the booking sites. Not sure how people left reviews on 12go, I even asked chatgpt and it said it doesn’t let you.

Yes report, very unusual.
Reporter the driver at 12 Go.
You booked via 12go.asia, but which van company was it? If you could share, please
please as you already did report it to the police and the company and most of all FOLLOW UP!! Don’t let him get away with this!! Next time it can be another lady and worse cloud happen. Follow up please and make sure he understands to never ever again to do anything like that and the only way he could understand is by facing consequences of his actions
Did he commit a crime?
Good to know that you are safe. This post worries me. My flight to Da Nang will arrive at 930 pm and will be staying in Hoi An. I arranged airport pick up with my hotel though.
Tourist police? Yeah, no such thing. Report it to the transport company and put this on as many review sites as you can. This is not normal behaviour in Vietnam. It’s not against the law to flirt with anyone in most countries, so those saying “report to police” obviously haven’t had any experience in reporting an actual crime in Vietnam. However, this is definitely very inappropriate behaviour and should be reported to his employer and the booking site.
