Hanoi

Any info on the Relax Bar (or is it Relax Cafe)? As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to Hanoi once about 6 years ago. I went to the Relax Bar a few times. It seemed like a nice place, but the only girls there were waitresses who were friendly, but did not seem available, not even for money. At the time, I heard they only go with very few tourists, only ones they like quite a bit. Since I am much older than them, I think I would not be one of the lucky ones. Is it still like that now, or is it possible now for most tourists to pick up one of the girls at the Relax Bar if the price is right? If so, what is the price for short time and for all night?

You can go to KTV Club of Fortuna Hotel to pick up a girl. In evening, they stand in line so you can choose. I'm not sure about cost, but I think you should 200$ to go overnight with her.

Overnight at Fortuna will cost around USD60-80.

Forget to bring a girl into Sofitel Hanoi. Security will stop you and you will be asked to book a room for your girl. Best thing you can do is to go to the New Century dance club, which is 5 min. by cab from the hotel. Here you will find tons of nice and beautiful girls at the bar. They do have private places around and its secure to follow them there. Unfortunately you´ll have to pay for the room there as well and they´ll charge you appr. USD 20. Girls with excellent service are available from USD 30 on.

Thanks Tiger for the excellent advise. i will follow it and let you know how it went.

Can you please help me to inform me where I can book a hotel in Hanoi that is girl friendly?

And where I can meet freelancers in Hanoi?

Thanks

Went there yesterday after reading above post. I must have been too early (around 8.45 p.m.) Customers were outnumbered by staff by 5 to 1 ! But as i was leaving, a young lady who could be mamasan gave me a look which seems to say 'Why are you leaving so early ? Our girls are coming" or "We have so few customers tonight, please do not leave yet for another nightclub" I almost returned to the bar where scotch with coke costs only VND 50,000 ($3.00) but I was heading for Hanoi Hotel.

Just read Carrache's posting of a few months ago about the Apocalpse Now Bar in Hanoi. Too bad it has gone downhill. I have only been to Hanoi once, and that was about 6 years ago. At the time I thought it was a great bar. I met a really sweet nice and pretty girl who spent the whole nite with me. Can't remember the price, but it was very reasonable. I plan to visit Hanoi again this Fall and hope this bar is still as nice as I remember it. But 6 years is a long time.

By the way, anyone planning to be in North or Central Vietnam this Fall, 2007, can PM if you want to get together.

I have been in Hanoi now for several days and still have some time to go. I've visited the usual suspects. New Century (godawful), 17 Saloon (almost as bad), Relax Bar (nice and friendly with some very pretty girls); can anyone out there answer the following:

1. Where can I get a good massage and BJ (I tried the blackdoor places but they just whip your clothes off, rub your legs for 2 minutes then blow)?

2. Tourist season here, I was thinking of escaping to My Son. Any action down there that anyone knows about? Hotel in-room massage?

3. Also going to Sapa, what if any are the chances of having fun up there?

Anybody fancy a drink one night to discuss do let me know.

Just arrived in Hanoi, will be here for a few weeks.

Anybody out there want to meet up and explore the bar scene?

Can arrange to meet at one of the bars in Old Quarter.

IS sofitel Metropole in Hanoi a gf hotel? What is the best way to get a girl into my room there, if I didnt want to or unable to walk hand in hand with a girl in my arm due to the presence of my colleagues in the same hotel? Any tips / contacts will be greatly appreciated.

I met there a nice and hot lady who gave me her number for further fun in my hotel. you can PM me to get the info. In exchange I am looking ofr good numbers in HCM or in the rest of South East Asia.

By the way, I recomend Dragon Hotel, close to Sheraton.

Am about to book a hotel for a future business trip to Saigon. You're sure that the Somerset allows you to take a female guest up to your room?

Yes, never a problem. even asked security to buy me box of condoms when i ran out

i would suggest the older somerset location - not as upscale as newer one but smaller lobby, less traffic and excellent security.
