Vietnam Insider

A Thai tourist family has filed a lawsuit against a hotel in Shanghai after discovering a man—later confirmed to be a hotel employee—hiding under a bed in their room.

The disturbing incident gained widespread attention after a video posted online by Thai traveler Yatida Siriwangchai quickly spread across social media.

In the footage, a man can be seen squeezed between the bed and the wall, attempting to remain hidden while the guest questions him.

Viral Video Captures the Moment

According to Siriwangchai, the discovery happened when her family returned to their hotel room.

In the video, she repeatedly asks the man:

• Who he is

• How he entered the room

However, the conversation becomes difficult because the two sides do not share a common language.

Some Thai social media users who understand Mandarin later claimed the man said he had entered the wrong room by mistake.

Guest Says the Door Was Locked

Siriwangchai said she had locked the room before leaving and even double-checked the door.

She suspects the man may have used a hotel master key card to open the room.

Later discussions with hotel management reportedly confirmed that the man was an employee of the hotel.

Online Backlash and Safety Concerns

The incident triggered strong reactions online, particularly among travelers concerned about hotel security and guest privacy.

Some social media users questioned the explanation that the employee had simply entered the wrong room.

Others suggested he might have been attempting to steal valuables but hid when the family unexpectedly returned.

After the video spread, additional travelers claimed they had experienced similar security issues at the same hotel.

One Thai woman said a staff member once entered her room without permission and management later apologized, offering four bottles of water as compensation.

Another guest claimed she and a friend felt they were being followed in the building, raising concerns about lax security.

Legal Action and Police Report

Following the incident, Siriwangchai and her family reported the case to local police and filed a lawsuit against the hotel.

The traveler has not publicly revealed the name of the hotel involved.

The case has reignited debate among international travelers about hotel access systems, master key controls, and guest safety protocols—especially in large tourist destinations such as Shanghai.

Search teams in central Vietnam have discovered the remains of a fallen soldier inside a mountain cave, alongside personal belongings including a plastic Chinese chess set, a toothbrush, and a lighter.

The discovery was made in Huong Lap Commune, near the Laos border—an area that once served as a strategic corridor during the Vietnam War.

The remains were located deep inside a cave on Co Loong Mountain.

Remains Found 3 Meters Inside Cave

According to the recovery team from Economic–Defense Unit 337, the skeleton was found about three meters inside a rocky cave.

Despite decades underground, many bones remained intact.

Alongside the remains, investigators discovered several personal artifacts believed to have belonged to the soldier, including:

• A plastic Chinese chess (xiangqi) set

• A lighter

• Flashlight batteries

• A toothbrush

• Pieces of parachute fabric and military canvas

• A 2-xu coin issued in 1958

These items may help historians and authorities identify the soldier or reconstruct the circumstances of his final moments.

Remains Brought to Memorial Site

After recovery, the remains were transferred to a memorial facility in Khe Sanh Town for preservation while authorities work to determine the soldier’s identity.

Search teams are also continuing to expand the search area in case additional remains are located nearby.

Another Discovery Made Nearby

Just one day earlier, the same team recovered another set of war remains about six kilometers away, near the entrance of a cave on Co Chuoi Mountain.

That discovery included additional wartime artifacts such as:

• Vehicle headlights

• Canned food

• Medical bottles including penicillin

• Ammunition from AK rifles and K54 pistols

• Bomb fragments

• Communication wires wrapped around the remains

A Region Marked by War

Huong Lap lies along the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail, a critical logistical route used during the Vietnam War to transport troops, weapons, and supplies from the North to southern battlefields.

The rugged mountains of western Quang Tri Province saw intense combat, ambushes, and air strikes.

Decades after the war ended, teams continue the painstaking effort of locating and identifying fallen soldiers—bringing long-awaited closure to families still searching for loved ones lost in the conflict.

Residents and businesses across the Gulf are experiencing bizarre navigation errors as GPS signals are disrupted by electronic warfare linked to the escalating Middle East conflict.

In the United Arab Emirates, drivers and shipping companies report navigation systems showing impossible locations—cars appearing in the middle of the sea and oil tankers displayed deep inland.

Experts say the disruptions are likely caused by defensive electronic countermeasures designed to interfere with missiles and drones.

When GPS Sends Drivers Into the Sea

Many residents in Dubai first noticed the issue while using navigation apps.

One resident told AFP she was driving normally using digital maps when the GPS suddenly began directing her to strange routes and incorrect locations.

Eventually she had to abandon navigation apps and rely on road signs and memory to reach her destination.

Delivery drivers say the disruptions have become a daily frustration.

One courier working in Dubai said a delivery that should normally take 10–15 minutes now sometimes takes 30 minutes because the GPS suddenly freezes or sends him to the wrong location.

Electronic Warfare in the Background

According to Clayton Swope, a space and defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the disruptions are likely connected to regional defenses against Iranian drones and missile systems.

Two techniques are commonly used:

1. GPS jamming
Powerful signals overwhelm satellite navigation signals, making them unreadable.

2. GPS spoofing
Fake signals are transmitted to trick devices into calculating the wrong position.

These tactics are part of modern electronic warfare, designed to confuse or mislead guided weapons.

Weak Signals Make GPS Easy to Disrupt

GPS systems work by receiving very weak timing signals from satellites orbiting Earth.

Because the signals are so faint, it is relatively easy for ground-based transmitters to block or override them with stronger signals.

Lisa Dyer of the GPS Innovation Alliance said the disruptions could pose serious risks.

She warned that interference may affect:

• Civil aviation

• Maritime navigation

• Logistics and transportation infrastructure

Half of Ships in the Gulf Report Problems

Shipping traffic appears particularly affected.

According to maritime data analyzed by Kpler, nearly 1,000 vessels in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman have experienced GPS interference since the conflict intensified.

That represents about half of all ships operating in the region.

In some cases, GPS spoofing has caused massive oil tankers to appear on navigation systems as if they were parked on land in the UAE or Iran.

The Cost of Defense

Despite the disruptions, Gulf governments appear willing to tolerate the inconvenience.

From a military perspective, interfering with GPS signals can reduce the accuracy of enemy drones and missile guidance systems, potentially protecting critical infrastructure.

For civilians, however, the result is a strange new reality:

• Ships apparently sailing across deserts

• Cars navigating through oceans

• Navigation apps suddenly losing their sense of direction

As electronic warfare intensifies in the region, the invisible battle for control of satellite navigation signals is increasingly spilling into everyday life.

A Hanoi court has sentenced a woman to 13 years in prison for running a fraudulent surrogacy scheme that scammed an infertile couple out of more than VND1.3 billion (about $50,000).

The case highlights the growing risks faced by couples seeking surrogacy arrangements outside official medical channels in Vietnam.

The verdict was handed down by the Hanoi People’s Court on March 13.

Promise of a Child Turns Into a Costly Deception

According to prosecutors, the victims—identified only as a Hanoi couple surnamed H.—had struggled with infertility for years and were searching for someone willing to carry a child through surrogacy.

In early 2024, through an intermediary, they were introduced to Dao Thi Lan Phuong, 44, who claimed she could arrange the surrogacy.

The parties agreed on a total cost of VND1.5 billion for the arrangement.

In reality, investigators found that Phuong had no legal authority or medical role in providing surrogacy services.

Authorities say she devised the scheme because she needed money to repay personal debts and fund daily expenses.

Elaborate Scheme to Build Trust

To convince the couple the process was legitimate, Phuong staged a series of actions that appeared to follow standard fertility procedures.

These included:

• Arranging a supposed egg donor

• Taking the husband to hospitals for fertility tests and sperm collection

• Drafting a fake IVF service contract

She also searched social media for egg donors and promised the couple their baby would be born in December 2024.

Fake Medical Documents and Ongoing Payments

After the contract was signed, Phuong repeatedly asked the couple to transfer money to cover various fabricated medical fees.

In total, the victims transferred more than VND1.3 billion.

To maintain the illusion, Phuong:

• Sent edited ultrasound and pregnancy records

• Shared altered medical prescriptions

• Claimed the pregnancy was progressing normally

Investigators later determined these documents had been taken from the internet and digitally modified.

Truth Revealed Near the “Due Date”

As December 2024 approached—the time when the baby was supposed to be born—Phuong began giving excuses to delay the handover.

Eventually she admitted she had never arranged any surrogacy procedure.

By that point, most of the money had already been spent.

Phuong returned VND240 million to the victims and promised to repay another VND800 million, but the couple reported the case to police.

Surrogacy Laws in Vietnam

Vietnam allows altruistic surrogacy under strict conditions, typically involving close relatives and approved medical procedures.

Commercial surrogacy—where payment is exchanged beyond medical costs—remains illegal.

Experts say the legal restrictions have created an environment where some couples, desperate for a child, may turn to informal networks or brokers, increasing the risk of scams.

For the Hanoi couple in this case, what began as hope for a child ultimately ended in financial loss and a lengthy criminal trial.

Emergency crews in central Vietnam carried out a dramatic rescue after a truck driver became trapped inside the crushed cabin of his vehicle following a crash near the Da Nang–Quang Ngai Expressway.

The accident occurred late Thursday morning on a road leading to the Da Nang–Quang Ngai Expressway, one of the region’s key transport corridors.

Rescue teams were forced to cut open the truck’s mangled cabin using hydraulic equipment to reach the driver.

Driver Trapped in Deformed Cabin

According to the Da Nang Fire and Rescue Police, the incident happened at around 10:10 a.m. on March 13.

Authorities said a tractor-trailer lost control and crashed on the expressway access road, leaving the front of the truck severely damaged.

The driver—identified as Ta Van Khi, 41, from Hanoi—was pinned inside the cabin and unable to escape.

Metal structures from the vehicle had collapsed around him, trapping him in a tight and dangerous space.

Specialized Rescue Operation

After receiving the emergency call, firefighters deployed:

• A command vehicle

• A rescue truck

• A fire engine

• Multiple rescue personnel

The operation was led on-site by Major Huynh Ngoc Trung, deputy head of the local rescue team.

Because the cabin doors were jammed shut, rescuers used hydraulic spreaders and cutting tools to dismantle sections of the metal frame and create a safe path to the victim.

Driver Freed and Taken to Hospital

After a coordinated effort, rescuers successfully freed the driver from the wreckage.

He received initial medical treatment at the scene before being transported to a hospital for further care.

Authorities said the driver survived the crash, though his injuries have not been fully disclosed.

Investigation Underway

Officials are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.

Traffic incidents involving heavy trucks are a persistent concern on Vietnam’s expanding highway network, particularly on expressway access routes where vehicles accelerate or merge into high-speed traffic.

Authorities have not yet released further details about how the crash occurred.

A 15-year-old boy in Hanoi was rushed to hospital after a metal object became lodged in his rectum, prompting doctors and psychologists to warn about the risks of poor sex education and unsupervised online information among teenagers.

Doctors say the case highlights a broader issue: many adolescents are curious about their changing bodies but lack reliable guidance on sexual health and safety.

The teenager was treated at Ha Dong General Hospital, where medical imaging revealed a metal pestle about 18 centimeters long stuck inside the rectum.

A Common but Underreported Medical Issue

According to Dr. Tra Anh Duy, a specialist in men’s health and lecturer at University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City), adolescence is a period of intense hormonal, physical, and psychological change.

During puberty, boys typically experience:

• Rapid growth and voice changes

• Development of body hair

• First ejaculation

• Increasing sexual curiosity

From a psychological perspective, this stage is when teenagers begin building their “mental map” of sexuality and body awareness.

Exploration—within safe boundaries—is considered a normal part of development, experts say.

However, without proper guidance, experimentation can sometimes turn dangerous.

Why Risky Behavior Happens

Dr. Duy explained that most sexual self-exploration among teenagers occurs in private, often without adult guidance.

When parents and schools avoid discussing sexual health, teenagers frequently turn to friends or the internet for answers.

This can create what psychologists describe as a “risk triangle”:

• Lack of accurate knowledge

• No trusted adult to ask

• Poor ability to assess danger

At the same time, teenagers’ brains are still developing, particularly the regions responsible for impulse control and long-term decision-making.

This can lead to the common adolescent mindset: “Let’s try it once and see what happens.”

A Warning About the Sex Education Gap

Doctors say incidents involving foreign objects in the lower digestive tract linked to sexual curiosity are not rare in emergency medicine, especially among teenagers.

The case has sparked discussion about gaps in sex education in Vietnam, where conversations about sexuality often remain sensitive or avoided.

Experts stress that the purpose of sex education is not to shame or forbid curiosity, but to ensure young people have the knowledge needed to protect their bodies and make safe decisions.

Advice for Parents and Schools

Specialists recommend that parents approach the topic calmly and without judgment.

Rather than scolding children, experts suggest opening conversations with statements such as:

“At your age, being curious about your body is normal. The important thing is knowing how to stay safe.”

Schools, meanwhile, should focus sex education on three key pillars:

• Understanding the body

• Learning about consent and personal boundaries

• Developing practical safety knowledge

Seek Medical Help Immediately

Doctors also warn that if an accident involving the genitals or rectal area occurs, patients should seek medical care immediately rather than attempting home treatment.

Prompt treatment can prevent complications and reduce long-term damage.

Experts say the most effective way to prevent such incidents is creating a safe support system—where families and schools provide accurate information and teenagers feel comfortable seeking help when they need it.

A sharp surge in fuel prices is triggering what some analysts describe as Vietnam’s largest shift toward electric vehicles in a decade, as consumers increasingly abandon gasoline-powered vehicles in search of cheaper alternatives.

Long queues at gas stations in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have become a familiar sight in recent weeks.

The spike—driven partly by geopolitical tensions affecting global oil markets—has pushed many drivers to reconsider how they commute.

Drivers Feeling the “Fuel Price Shock”

For commuters who rely on gasoline vehicles, the financial impact has been immediate.

Hoang Nam, a commuter living in suburban Ho Chi Minh City, said his monthly fuel bill for an SUV has doubled from around VND1.5 million to VND3 million ($60–$120).

“Every time the fuel gauge drops, it feels painful,” he said. “Sometimes it feels like I’m working just to keep the car running.”

Beyond higher prices, motorists are also dealing with crowded fuel stations and occasional supply shortages, further fueling frustration.

Electric Vehicles Seen as a Financial Escape

At the same time, many Vietnamese consumers are discovering the appeal of electric vehicles.

One Hanoi resident who recently replaced his gasoline sedan with a VinFast VF 8 said the switch eliminated the anxiety of fluctuating fuel prices.

“Now I just charge the car and drive all week,” he said. “No worrying about fuel price changes.”

Delivery workers and ride-hailing drivers are also joining the trend.

A Ho Chi Minh City-based ride-hailing driver who recently switched to an electric motorbike said she now saves more than VND2 million per month compared with operating a gasoline bike.

EV Showrooms See Surge in Customers

Dealerships across Vietnam report a noticeable increase in traffic at electric vehicle showrooms, particularly those run by VinFast.

Popular models such as:

• VinFast VF 3

• VinFast VF 6

• VinFast VF 7

have reportedly seen surging interest and even temporary shortages in some showrooms.

Sales staff say many customers who once hesitated about charging infrastructure or battery durability are now focused on a simpler question: “How soon can I receive the car?”

Economic Pressures Accelerating the Shift

Online search data also reflects the trend.

According to industry observers, searches comparing “electric vehicle costs vs gasoline vehicles” have increased by roughly 60% in the past two months.

The shift is driven by several overlapping factors:

• Rising fuel prices

• Urban emissions regulations

• Expanding EV charging infrastructure

• Financial incentives from manufacturers

Government Policies Also Pushing Change

In addition to fuel costs, environmental policies are beginning to influence consumer decisions.

Some cities, including Hanoi, plan to introduce stricter emissions regulations and time-based restrictions on gasoline motorcycles in central districts starting July 2026.

These measures are expected to accelerate the transition toward electric transport.

Long-Term Economic Benefits

Economists say the shift could also help Vietnam reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels.

According to economic analyst Tran Anh Tung, electric vehicles generally consume 15–20 kWh of electricity per 100 km, resulting in energy costs that are 40–60% lower than gasoline vehicles under current energy prices.

If EV adoption continues to grow, he said, the country could reduce exposure to global oil price volatility and inflation pressures.

For many Vietnamese drivers, however, the calculation is simpler.

As one new EV owner put it:
“When gasoline prices rise, I don’t feel it anymore.”

Vietnam’s passport has moved six places up in the global passport rankings, giving its citizens easier travel access to 48 destinations worldwide, according to the latest global mobility index.

In the 2026 ranking by Henley & Partners, Vietnam’s passport now sits 84th in the world, an improvement from its position in December 2025.

The ranking means Vietnamese passport holders can now enter dozens of countries without applying for a visa in advance, either through visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, or electronic travel authorization.

Where Vietnamese Travelers Can Go Without a Visa

According to the Henley Passport Index, 23 countries and territories offer visa-free entry to Vietnamese citizens.

These include several destinations across Southeast Asia and beyond:

• Singapore

• Thailand

• Malaysia

• Indonesia

• Philippines

• Cambodia

• Brunei

• Myanmar

• Laos

• Iran

• Kazakhstan

• Kyrgyzstan

• Mongolia

• Chile

• Barbados

Other visa-free destinations include Belarus, Dominica, Micronesia, Rwanda, Suriname, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Panama, and the Cook Islands.

Visa on Arrival and Electronic Entry Options

In addition to visa-free access, 22 destinations offer visas on arrival, including:

• Maldives

• Nepal

• Jordan

• Mauritius

• Madagascar

• Namibia

• Tanzania

• Timor-Leste

Meanwhile, three countries require electronic travel authorization (ETA) before arrival:

• Kenya

• Seychelles

• Sri Lanka

Vietnam Still Trails Regional Leaders

Within Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s passport remains behind several neighbors in travel freedom.

The world’s most powerful passport in 2026 belongs to Singapore, whose citizens can access more than 190 destinations visa-free or with simplified entry.

Other strong passports in the region include Malaysia and Brunei, while Japan, South Korea, and many European countries also rank among the world’s most powerful.

Visa Policies Slowly Improving

Vietnam’s rising ranking reflects gradual expansion of bilateral visa-waiver agreements and improvements in global mobility for its citizens.

At the same time, Vietnam itself has been expanding electronic visa (e-visa) programs and visa exemptions for foreign visitors, part of broader efforts to boost tourism and international business links.

While the Vietnamese passport still ranks in the middle globally, its steady climb signals growing international connectivity for the country’s travelers.

After nearly three weeks traveling from south to north across Vietnam, American traveler Gentry Hale says the country left a powerful impression—but also a few regrets.

From bustling cities to limestone seascapes, Hale explored destinations including Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, Hanoi, and Ha Long Bay.

She praised Vietnam’s spectacular landscapes, rich cuisine, and friendly locals, describing experiences such as kayaking among limestone karsts in Ha Long Bay and strolling lantern-lit streets in Hoi An as unforgettable.

But looking back, Hale says several planning mistakes made parts of her trip harder than they needed to be.

1. Not Learning Enough About Local Culture

Before arriving, Hale focused mainly on researching famous attractions and food.

What she didn’t spend enough time studying was local etiquette and daily customs.

For example, she was surprised to learn that pointing with a single finger can sometimes be considered impolite in Vietnam, where people often gesture with an open hand instead.

She also realized that learning a few Vietnamese phrases—such as “xin chào” (hello) or “cảm ơn” (thank you)—would have made communication much easier.

“Many locals seemed genuinely happy when I tried speaking Vietnamese,” she said.

2. Packing Too Many Destinations Into the Itinerary

Hale initially believed that three weeks was plenty of time to visit many parts of Vietnam.

But once she started traveling between cities, she realized distances can be more demanding than they appear on a map.

Long journeys—especially by train—often took many hours or even most of a day.

One overnight train journey lasted around 16 hours, cutting into the time she could spend exploring destinations.

If she returns, Hale says she would visit fewer places and stay longer in each one.

3. Underestimating Vietnam’s Weather Differences

Vietnam’s regional climate differences also caught her off guard.

Her trip began in Ho Chi Minh City in October, where the heat and humidity felt like a sauna, she said.

Later in Hanoi, the weather became cooler and rainy, creating a completely different travel experience.

After several days of sightseeing and trekking, Hale realized she should have packed:

• More breathable clothing

• Quick-dry travel outfits

• Flexible layers for changing weather

4. Feeling Awkward About Bargaining

Hale said she loved exploring local markets and artisan shops, buying items such as:

• Tailored clothing in Hoi An

• Handmade leather goods in Hanoi

• Street food across different cities

However, she initially felt uncomfortable bargaining.

In the United States, negotiating prices is rare in everyday shopping.

But in Vietnam’s markets, she later discovered that bargaining is often expected and widely accepted.

“If I had understood that earlier, I could have saved quite a bit of money,” she said.

A Trip Still Worth Taking

Despite these lessons, Hale says Vietnam remains one of her favorite travel experiences.

For future travelers, her advice is simple:

• Learn a little about local culture

• Plan fewer destinations

• Prepare for diverse climates

• Don’t be afraid to bargain in markets

With better preparation, she believes visitors can enjoy an even richer and more relaxed journey through Vietnam.

Mới đây, Đại hội thành lập Liên minh Giáo dục Trí tuệ Nhân tạo Thanh thiếu niên các nước BRICS đã được tổ chức tại thủ đô Bắc Kinh, Trung Quốc. Với tư cách là doanh nghiệp dẫn đầu trong lĩnh vực giáo dục trí tuệ nhân tạo của Trung Quốc, YBC được Liên minh Quốc tế các Dự án Chiến lược BRICS đặc biệt mời tham gia với tư cách là một trong các đơn vị sáng lập, đồng thời đảm nhiệm vai trò đơn vị luân phiên đầu tiên, phụ trách điều phối hoạt động thường nhật và thúc đẩy triển khai các dự án của liên minh. Việc bổ nhiệm này đánh dấu thực tiễn giáo dục AI dành cho thanh thiếu niên của Trung Quốc đã nhận được sự công nhận ở cấp độ quốc tế.

Đại diện chính phủ, các học giả hàng đầu và lãnh đạo ngành đến từ các nước BRICS như Brazil, Nga, Ấn Độ, Trung Quốc và Nam Phi đã cùng chứng kiến lễ ra mắt của liên minh. Việc thành lập liên minh nhằm triển khai sáng kiến của các nhà lãnh đạo BRICS về mở rộng hợp tác giáo dục, lấy giáo dục AI làm điểm khởi đầu để thúc đẩy hợp tác sâu rộng trong lĩnh vực giáo dục công nghệ mới nổi.
