An 18-year-old Vietnamese woman is wanted on suspicion of engaging in human trafficking to Myanmar, Hanoi police said Friday. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh was recruited by another unidentified woman to go abroad as a prostitute last November. She invited another woman in Hanoi to go with her, saying they would work as card dealers at a casino for VND15 million ($645) a month. In fact, Anh was tricking the other woman into prostitution, media reports say. The three women went from the northern province of Thai Nguyen to Myanmar on November 5 last year. In January, Anh and the woman who first recruited her returned to Vietnam to look for another woman to be tricked into prostitution in Myanmar, but they were caught by the police and placed under investigation. However, Anh managed to escape this July and has been on the run … [Read more...] about Police hunt Vietnamese teenager for human trafficking

One size does not fit all when it comes to traveling and exploring the world. For plus-size globetrotters, that presents some challenges along the way, whether it’s too-snug airplane seats or spa robes meant for someone of more diminutive stature. Take heart, though—the problems are surmountable. Where there is a desire to take a journey, there are workable solutions to ensure grand experiences. Tips for Plus-Size Travelers Here are tips geared to fellow voyagers of size, gleaned from my own travels as a Rubenesque gal who has racked up visits to more than 70 countries. Choose Size-Friendly Airlines In the U.S., most airlines require that you be able to lower both armrests and buckle up your seatbelt (using one extender). That’s the litmus test in determining whether you may be required to buy an adjacent (aka “comfort”) seat. If you do need an additional “comfort” seat, you’ll need to call the airline directly to book them. Policies … [Read more...] about 9 Tips for Savvy Plus-Size Travelers

On the Henley Passport Index updated this month by the U.K.-based global citizenship and residence advisory firm Henley & Partners, the Vietnamese passport has jumped five places to 90th among 107 positions against the previous ranking released last July. In Southeast Asia, a Vietnamese passport is only more powerful than Laos (92nd) and Myanmar (95th), which have visa free access to 49 and 46 destinations respectively. The index ranks passports of 200 countries and territories in the world based on data from the International Air Transport Association, which maintains the world’s largest and most comprehensive database of travel information. The region’s biggest economy, Indonesia, has risen two places to 73rd in this updated ranking with 70 visa-free destinations while Malaysia jumped one place to 12th with visa free access to 177 countries and territories. Thailand has seen a jump in its global ranking to 66th, up four places. Thais can now travel to 77 countries and … [Read more...] about Vietnamese passport does better in global power ranking

Drugs and weapons seized from Lao smugglers in the central province of Ha Tinh, October 4, 2019. Photo by VnExpress/Minh Toan. Two of the men were nabbed at around 6 p.m. while they were driving a car along National Highway 8A near the border. Upon searching their cars, border guards and customs officers discovered 10 kilograms of heroin, 45 kilograms of methamphetamine, 6,000 amphetamine pills, two handguns and 50 bullets. Half an hour after their arrests, Ha Tinh officials caught four more Laotians on the national highway. While they were not carrying drugs, they have been determined to be the other two's accomplices, responsible for scouting ahead and alerting the duo should any issue arises. The six Laotians have admitted to being members of a trans-national drug trafficking ring that acquires drugs in Laos before smuggling them into Vietnam through Huong Son District's Cau Treo border gate. Ha Tinh police are investigating further. Vietnam is a key trafficking hub for drugs … [Read more...] about Armed Lao drug mules caught with 55 kilos of heroin, meth
