Beware Of Airport Customs Police
I arrived at Tan Son Nhat airport late in the evening in February, 2011. Going through customs, I was pulled aside because I had a new netbook computer in my carryon bag. The customs police demanded money. I told him it was a gift for my nephew. He said I had to pay him or go to another room to fill out the paperwork. I gave him US$20. He said it’s not enough. I gave him another US$10. He was not satisfied. I told him that’s all I had -- so he let me out. It’s really a shame for something like that having to happen to my beloved motherland. I hate to go back through Tan Son Nhat airport again.

Lock Your Luggage
It has never happened to me until two days ago (6/08/11). When I got home, I found out that my 2 pairs of Nike shoes are gone. Sigh...the people who work at this airport, would steal, rob or strangle everybody as much as possible if they could. Now I know they would steal whatever on their sight. Come on! Used shoes, what are you going to do with them? I feel so disgust to find this out. So, people, if you go through this airport, please lock your luggage and pack your nice stuff out of their sight. This sucks.

Nicer Than Before
The airport is a decent one with the new terminal. For those who whine about having to hand out money to get in and out. STOP WHINING!!! They are nice enough to ask for your money. In India and Russia, they don't ask you. They rob you. You don't want to go back in the near future? Make it forever! We can live without whiners.

Airport Taxi
Watch out the taxi driver's gross demand, if you arrive at night. A driver asked me US $20.00 for a trip to my hotel, in the center of the City. On my way back to the airport, a hotel employee arranged a taxi for me and cost only US $6.00

Come Ealy, Come Prepare $$$
I'm Vietnamese-American, just came back here on Feb 19/09. Have I been through Hell and come back? Yes. It's that kind of feeling after I passed custom there without giving them some money. I had not have any problems in my enter since I put some money in my passport, but it's totally opposite when I left without giving them some money. Guess what? They will only do this with Vietnamese.
