1.2 Travel to Hoi An alone - Destination Safety

Traveling alone is putting yourself into a self-conscious state, meaning you need to be very cautious about preventing strangers from committing bad things. Here are some tips to defend yourself in some accommodations:

Tips in the hotel 

• Choose hotels with trusted safe policies. You can see recommendations by checking reviews of previous guests on Facebook, TikTok, forums, online booking services such as Agoda, Booking,...
• Do not leak or tell anyone your room number.
• Putting the “Do Not Disturb” sign when going out to make people think you are still in your room.
• If someone knocks your door and claims to be a hotel staff when you don’t have a staff request then contact the receptionists for confirmation immediately.
• Buy a pepper spray for self defense. If not, then take your perfumes and put it on your bed table as the replacement for the pepper spray 
• Buy a door stopper when there are no inner locks. 

Tips on checking hidden cameras

To ensure safety, when checking in to your room, you need to do these tips to check if there are any hidden cameras: 

• Turn off the lights, close the curtain, creating a dark space. Then use flash on your phone to check around the room, if there are any unusual lights, especially red or green LEDs that are flickering - that is where the hidden cameras are.
• Checking the mirror: Put your finger perpendicularly onto the mirror. If your finger and your reflective image have a space, that is the real mirror. If your finger and the image do not have a space, that is a two-way mirror with the hidden camera on the other side. When seeing this, immediately contact the receptionist for a room switch or checking out.
• Using WiFi: Open your WiFi connections list, finding a wifi name that has a uselessly long name. There is a high chance that it is the camera’s wifi, because the camera's wifi needs to be connected to transfer videos immediately. 
• Using apps: Download the app “Hidden Camera Detector” (on App Store and Google Play) to scan and check for hidden cameras.
