INSTRUCTION FOR IDG
Overall, Saigon has it’s fair share of pick pockets, bag snatchers and general scammers in the tourist areas but violent crime against foreigners is rare. Don’ t flash your jewelry, cash or expensive camera around. Be careful NOT to use your mobile phone on the street. Many people here are poor. 99 % are honest , but some of your stuff is probably worth at least a couple of months wages to a local. In general, maintain the same precautions you do in any cities ( do not wander in dark places or go with strangers . . . ) . Just be sensible!
