Is Booking.com full of scammers in VN? by Dannyroc3
I have used BOOKING for many years and in several countries with a 95% satisfaction.IN VN I have used it with pretty good results as well, though I did take a room in Siagon where they gave me a much lesser room that not only didn't match the room ...
@wealthychef I had forgotten about Agoda and when I tried to use it a few weeks ago, it lacked one feature I often use. I forget what that feature was now, maybe the filter was not so good, or maybe the option to enter your search and click on the ... Read More

@Aidan in HCMC I had this same experience. I thought I was cutting out the middle man which would be good for them..... Read More
Skype is going to "retire." by Dannyroc3
Skype has a banner announcing they will retire in a month or so.Skype has been my go-to for making calls from any wifi when traveling with just a few dollars on the account.So now I need to find a similar service Where I can put $10 in the account ...
@Aidan in HCMC I should say, all 3 cards I have are debit, not credit cards, I have never even had a credit card and I have learned there is significantly lesser protection with a debt card but the only time I have only had a problem once- Years ago ... Read More

Quick update-I reluctantly tried to buy VIBER with a third card with the VPN set to Netherlands and it went through.Not sure why this visa card worked but I am glad it did.The reason I was reluctant to USE the 3rd card (Schwab) was that not long ... Read More

@OceanBeach92107 Just when I thought VIBER was my answer (for a number of reasons,) when I tried to buy a plan last night, -I pushed to pay: I got a messg that my VISA card does not allow this transaction.I tried through a VPN and even called my ... Read More

@OceanBeach92107 Yes I agree, The reason they prompted me to call them is so their new price is not on the messages. IN one case, I messaged them back (rather than call) to ask if the price would change, and they never replied.The few problems I ... Read More
Whats the solution for ants in VN by Dannyroc3
Jeez, I hate to ask such a petty question but- when I arrived in VN I assumed mosquitoes would be a problem, but that turned out to be no problem (at least I'm my area) the bigger aggravation is the tiny ants.At the first hotel I stayed at (4th ...
@Travelfar Maybe the powdered sugar would make a difference. I have tried mixing the Boric Acid in a number of things and there doesn't seem to be more than mild interest by the ants. Before I left for the weekend, I made two more attempts by mixing ... Read More

@jasminejo0312 I seem to keep getting trailers and not the whole thing. Read More

@OceanBeach92107 Thanks as always. You mentioned Agoda: I had forgot all about that, I had the app but never used it because it mostly seemed to have what Booking has, but I will try that one more often. Read More

@jayrozzetti23 So I certainly expect prices to flow with demand, but once a stay is booked at their listed price and they immediately send an email telling you to call in the next 15 minutes (where they then raise the price) that's an aggravating ... Read More

@Fred Soapy water reminds me of my Grandmother, who told me to pour boiling water on the hole or nest. She was probablydealing with fire ant nests. Read More

@drutter I will try the banana. I had some pancake syrup and thought they would like that but they showed little interest.In the US, I found ants don't like baby powder but they will just avoid it and take another course. The boric acid w/ sugar ... Read More
