Before that, on the evening of April 28, on MXH appeared a post of VTH account with the content: “I took a taxi from hotel I. When I got on the taxi, I mentioned TS2 restaurant, but the taxi driver took it to CS and said this is TS2.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the staff of the restaurant came out to greet me, I told them to book a table in advance and they also led me in. Because I came in from Hanoi and didn’t know the way, I just knew that someone booked with TS2 but was brought here by a taxi like it was real, I thought it was real and went in to order food.

My group went with 14 people, when paying, the price was like this. Can anyone give me the hotline number in Nha Trang I want to report about slash and slash Tourists, like this, I find Nha Trang tourism too scary.”
