late at night on April 17th
at Nari Bar in the bustling Japan Town
a customer let’s name him Dung
expected a casual night out
he opted for a $40 per hour service
that included beer and karaoke
during his stay which lasted about two hours
he was served by a hostess who sang and drank with him
two more female employees joined later
upon returning from the restroom
Dung noticed additional empty beer cans on the floor
which he suspected were placed there
to inflate his Bill to over 10 million VND
or roughly $400
Dung’s protest about the unfair charges
were met with hostility
the bar employees not only surrounded him
refusing him leave but escalated to physical violence
the situation worsened
when employees physically assaulted him
disrobed him
and eventually threw him out onto the street naked
employees took Dung’s credit card
and used it to pay for the inflated bill
they then returned his clothes
forced him to sign pay papers before letting him go
they also forced him to sign papers
acknowledging the bill before returning his clothes
and credit card, authority stepped in
after Dung reported the incident
the bar owner and 4 employees were arrested
facing charges of extortion
this incident shines a light on the predatory practices
lurking in some corners of nightlife
an investigation is ongoing

stick to well known venues with good reviews
when you’re choosing where to spend your evening out
in that kind of establishments
it’s crucial to opt for places that are well regarded

always paying cash to avoid credit card scams
carrying cash might seem a bit old fashioned
but it’s a smart move in nightlife districts
I learned this the hard way in Manila
where a bar tried to charge an extra $200
on my friend’s credit card
since then I’ve always paid in cash
to control exactly what I spend
and avoid unauthorized charges
plus it’s easier to dispute a bill
when you haven’t already handed over your card
keep a close eye on your tab
it’s easy to get lost in the fun of the night
but keeping an eye on your tab
can prevent unpleasant surprises
during a night out in Kuala Lumpur
I kept a mental note of each drink I ordered
when the bill came there were several extra charges
because I had been vigilant
I could confidently dispute them
and the venue corrected the bill
always ask for an itemized bill
and go through each charge
if something doesn’t seem right
limit your alcohol intake to maintain awareness
enjoying a drink is part of the night life experience
but moderation is key
in so many places
I witnessed a tourist who had too much to drink
become an easy target for pickpockets
staying sober enough to be aware of your surroundings
can make all the difference
it’s not just about avoiding theft
it’s also about making safe decisions
throughout the night
there’s strength in numbers
especially in unfamiliar or crowded environments
I prefer go out with a group of friends
which proved beneficial
during a night out in Ho Chi Minh City
one of us had a minor accident
and having friends nearby made it easier to get
help and ensure everyone got home safely
whether it’s for handling emergencies
or deterring potential troublemakers
having company is always a good idea
remember if anything feels off
or you start to feel uncomfortable
trust your instincts and leave
there are plenty of other places to explore
while I’m known to take risks
I always prioritize my safety above all else
I strongly advise you to do the same
your well being is Paramount
so never hesitate to put it first
in my own experiences
having frequented various nightlife spots
across Southeast Asia
these practices are not isolated incidents
I’ve seen similar tactics used elsewhere
making it all the more important
