( I never complain and I am aware I am in Asia and don’t have high expectations what so ever and by that I mean that I know I’m not in my home country so the culture and the behaviour of locals will differ and this is my 3rd sleeper bus this week and the others have been completely fine) I just wanted to say to avoid this company when booking your sleeper bus ( tuan Trinh) I got picked up earlier today ( they were late but that’s not an issue ) it has been raining really bad and when I gave them my backpack to put onto the bus the driver pushed me out of the way and I nearly fell and again I didn’t say anything. I then got onto the bus and asked where my seat was and the driver just pointed straight I then just chose a random bed and he started shouting at me and said “ no “ without telling me where to actually go. The drivers here also beep a lot however this driver was constantly beeping every second and if you’re right at the front you will not get ANY sleep. We then stopped for a toilet break and after 3 minutes the driver starts shouting at everyone to come back bear in mind some ladies might take longer in the toilet etc. and lastly, there are children on this bus and the driver is driving and smoking cigarettes. I’m only about 4 hours into my journey and still have about 8 more left. Just wanted to warn everyone as it’s definitely made me feel out of place and I feel like I have to tip toe around them as I’m worried they will shout at me again lol.

Tourists want the ‘authentic’ experience, the ‘real’ Vietnam, then feel hurt when they get it.
welcome to commie vietnam, where there’s not ethics or morals.
Push driver back
yoo stop being a white person and complain online… just take your loss and continue your life, nobody is really interested in your whims……
Maybe they are sick of foreigners, i dunno
Yes, they are very rude! What i hated on my one bus, he was facetiming on one phone whilst scrolling on another phone, yes we crashed! Very minor, but this has to stop! Hands free only if a phone is needed( it isn’t as they always have a coworker with them) more courteous, and stop with the folking horn!
learn vietnamese. we come to america we learn english
I’m sorry to hear about your experience, Kamila. I can understand how frustrating that must have been. Unfortunately, situations like this can happen to Vietnamese travelers as well. Sometimes bus or taxi drivers can be rude, especially during busy travel periods. And, because the drivers didn’t know how to communicate with you better.
Let the company know, they’ll get rid of him. At least, they should.
