sorry for the 'son of bitch' hotel manager
Hey Ralph, wonderful account of the tour.As a Bangladeshi i am ashamed for the terrible behaviour of the hotel manager.These are some 'bustards' carrying on with their unchecked conduct....unless ppl dont care about the privacy of toursists...no ones gonna come here...anyway take care...

i like to say about minhaj comment, U did not found any guide, maybe your require was not properly, for security there is enough police, RAB and other forces as every one know. Sorry to say may be you are fearing to police that’s why yourself u take cover. Right now I am living in foreign this country also leading all over the world by finance & politics, there is also not enough their nation & foreigner security, now days every country having security problem, just requesting to your to read new paper and watching the CNN & BBC world new. Further don’t say about Bangladesh security we honor to them. Now days Bangladeshi security force is 1st place in United nation security force team.
