[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Researching whether it would be possible for a 17 year old to check into a hotel alone in Vietnam because of a dumb thread on here. I hate that I care.[/quote]

I did this too!  At 2 am when having hot flashes.[/quote]

Thank you!!! I feel so seen!!

Not to hijack this thread to talk about that one, but I truly do not believe the OP is sincere or that it would be possible to do what she describes. But I reported the thread to Jeff as a troll and he didn’t delete it so there must not have been indicators that it was.

Maybe a 17 year old could go on an organized tour or something with family. I still maintain it’s impossible for 17 year olds to check into actual HOTELS overseas. I guess hostels might be different, but the OP didn’t say they were doing hostels-she specifically said hotels.

Also, the age of majority in Vietnam IS actually 18!!!! I think it was lower before but is most definitely 18 now.

I hate myself for the energy this occupies in my brain.[/quote]

My son’s friend traveled through Europe solo at that age—it honestly sounds like the OP’s kid would be fine and they have contacts in country in a pinch. [/quote]

Pp here. I don’t have strong feelings about whether the kids should do this or not. I’m really just entirely hung up on the question of whether it’s possible for a 17 year old to check into multiple HOTELS alone overseas.

For context, I tried to do this myself in Mexico when I was 17 and no hotel would accept me. I also tried once to get my brother a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur when he was 17-they wouldn’t let him check in.

It could be the OP means hostels when she says hotels and maybe that can be done. [/quote]
