[QUOTE=Adhome01]Could you give us more info on the quality of these girls?
Thanks[/QUOTE]I can say they are from 7 to 7.5. At least that is what we got. We arrive there 15 mins before 12 and they are closing. I guess there must be better girls if you come earlier.
Additional info. Karaoke room charge is USD 30.00, girls at USD 10.00 per hour and heineken USD 4.00. The mamasan will expect some tips. We gave her USD 20.00 for 5 girls. That's what the girls told us to give.

Mui Ne
I know this is the HCM hotel thread, but I did spend the weekend in Mui Ne at the Sunsea hotel with a lady, no questions asked. The hotel is foreign owned, so they don't seem to care if your GF is with you. As far as finding someone to spend the evening in Mui Ne, forget it.

Where the hell is Mui Ne?

[QUOTE=Sudsoz]Where the hell is Mui Ne?[/QUOTE]About 210km north of HCMC (25km north of Phan Thiet in Binh Thuan province). It's like Nha Trang without the nightlife.

Mui Ne
Exactly, no nightlife at all!

[QUOTE=Sudsoz]The Caravelle is a 5 star property with a reputation of being one of the best hotels in Asia. Definitely not GF in the normal sense but there have been reports of punters smuggling gals in via the rooftop bar.[/QUOTE]It's the 3rd best hotel in HCMC behind the Sheraton/Hyatt. The rates are lower than both, so they are trying to win back some customers.

Ho Chi Minh
Wow,
Ho Chi Minh was a blast. We did all the tourist crap and ended up at Apocalypse Now every night. We started at Saigon Saigon bar on top of the Caravelle hotel. We befriended the bar tender and he made great drinks. We also went to the lounge at the Park Hyatt and had cocktails. Nice lounge singer, high end with great piano. Drinks here are fantastic also. We went to Q-bar, nice trendy place. Knocked back a few shots here. It is nice to check out some of the hotties looking for Western men. We ate at some really fun places. Lemongrass was Vietnamese, nice place and had a homey feeling. We ordered 3 meals for each person and shared them all. The Sushi Bar was a great place for sushi. We had Uni, Unagi, Ikura, Toro, Ibi and Masago. All was super fresh and really cheap. 12 beers, 3 bottles of Sake and lots of sushi $99, nice deal.
Now we were drunk every night and went to Apocalypse Now. I know we were the hunted here. This is a regular bar with some working women (sort of). We met a mini mamasan. She would direct us to all the working women. Back by the pool table is where most of the action in the pay for arena takes place. We would pull 3 girls from here and head for a late nigh place named Allez Boo. This place is in the Pham Ngu Loa backpacker area; however it is full of girls working and wanting to be worked. They sell food, have cheap drinks and stay open until you stop drinking. The girls we had cost $100 per night, that was all night and as many hits as we wanted. I know it seems high but we had a different budget. We stayed at a hotel named Liberty 4 Que Hong $75 per night. We had girls in the room every night and it was no problem. We arrived at the hotel around 4-6 am. Girls we permitted and we were not charged for them staying in the room.
In closing, the pussy, drinks and food were good; the traffic was a mother fucker. Had a great time and would go back again soon. Peace out

Law and Hotels
Hi All,
I tried to read the forum, and it seems there is a general concensus that the law is that you cannot take a girl all night in a hotel room in Vietnam without breaking the law. Still, I wonder if any of you have the specifics or is a website with same. I wonder, for example, does this only apply to foreigners, or to everyone? How late is overnight (setting aside the hotel's own policies). When does the next morning start (e.g., I take a girl in a 430am, is that the next day and not overnight). Thanks all. I know some of this is academic because of hotel policies, but I want to be very careful about breaking the law for various reasons.
Thanks,
Jack V

The official deal is that lady visitors are not allowed at night and the big hotels have too many spies to not comply. So usually around 9 pm is it. Some hotels ask for payment for an extra room and others are bit lax with security from entertainment venues within the property.
However there are many small hotels who do not comply. Not sure but would be surprised if there are no pay-offs. No names please but there are many hotels around Saigon for around US$30 that should be OK.

law and hotels
The official regulation in vietnam is that you are supposed to be allowed to register one vietnamese girl with you in your room if you check-in with this girl when yourself check-in in this hotel. Otherwise it's not allowed. That's the rule, but it's vietnam so:
- large hotels usually apply this rule, but may refuse if the girl is from the same town and may locally be filed as prostitute (smakker hotel may refuse too). For example in Nha Trang, it's easy to check-in with a girl from HCMC, much more difficult if she's from Nha Trang. They will usually not allow you to bring a girl to your room overnight after you have checked-in alone (or they will ask you to rent an extra room).
- small private hotels (minihotels) may be subject of police trying to get money from them, whatever it is officialy allowed or not, and still ask you to book a second room so that they don't have to pay the police,
- small private hotel may not have any problem with police but will take the opportunity to get more money from you by pretending you have to book an extra room,
- some minihotels pay the police anyway, so that when there is a police raid, the police phones them before to warn them. In this case, you only have to book one room (but OK, it's vietnam, so if they feel they can do it, they may take the opportunity to get more dollars from you, that's the game!)
In any case, there's no other way than asking directly and be ready to go to another place if you are not satisfyed with the answer

Kim Do on Nguyen Hue is not GF nor is Palace Hotel opposite.
Try the smaller hotels on Mac Thi Boui - Palace is on the corner.

The hotel is foreign owned, so they don't seem to care if your GF is with you. As far as finding someone to spend the evening in Mui Ne, forget it.[/QUOTE]Mr Dat tours has a little stable of girls. I met two and he said they were 19 and 21 although they looked about 23 and 28ish. Both were about a 6 and a 7. He also told me he "thinks" the price for overnight fun is $90USD but he'd have to ask the girl. I decided to pass, but he's a nice guy to talk to. He's located on the left just past the faerie spring bridge in the beginning of Mui Ne.
I met him through my motorbike driver whom I met as soon as I stepped of the bus in Mui Ne. After taking me to my hotel (for free because it was so close) I asked him to take me to a massage parlor. He took me for about a 20 minute ride to a place by the sand dunes. 130,000 VMD for a massage by a cute expressionless 22-year-old? girl. An extra 200K for a HJ and I wasn't able to let my hands wander too much. After a 5-hour bus ride, it was a good enough massage. I saw other cuties in there, but I never went back to try again.
If anyone wants the motobike guy's number (he was my driver for three days and rented me a moto for $5 one day) or Mr Dat's number, pm me.
I will repost this in the other areas as I have reports on Nha Trang, Hoi An and Danang as well. I will arrive in Saigon this afternoon.

Ho Sen Hotel
Just a short note to alert members about the Ho Sen Hotel on Thi Sach Street (near the Sheraton).
I had booked a room a while back and confirmed at least three times. But when I showed up they quoted me a higher rate than what they had booked it at. They claimed that rates had gone up. That may or may not be the case, but obviously to me only the rate they had booked it at mattered.
After a 36-hour journey (missed connections) I did not feel like searching for another hotel, but obviously I am not too happy with hotels like these.
Members should use their own judgment if they intend to stay at this hotel - a hotel that plays such tricks is capable of creating other problems too.

It was supposed to be a reputable hotel, N***tel. I booked a double room on Internet, and paid by credit card. When I got there, they said the room was not available, but there was a mini suite available for an additional 15USD. Ok, 15USD is not much more, but that's not the point, as you know. I had no choice but take it.
I think, I dont want to over generalise it, but this type of behaviour seems prevailant in Vietnam. This is their national character, it is business as usual, not surpringly this happens more often to foreigners.
That said, Vietnam has lots of good things to offer as well; friendly people, good food, good imitation watches, medications without prescriptions etc.
