Do the people wonder why you're taking their picture while they are harvesting?
In Mexico, people get mad and will make you pay them if you accidentally get them in a picture you're taking.

Not at all they are very welcoming and they really warm up once I start to speak Vietnamese to them. A guy even asked if I wanted to help for the day.

Oh wow! Why is that, Tank?

I don't think that is the case in Asia, not in PH at least.
Its usually homeless and beggars. We we're in Mexico City taking pics and these people flock to the tourist sites and try to get their kids to sneak into the picture. Then the parent will come up and say, pay me for taking my kids pic. Its a scam they run. Some people drop them some pesos so I guess it works.

Oh wow! So it's their MO. No bueno. Gvn't should secure tourist spots to avoid this kind of modus to leave tourists with great experience.
