Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

[Sir Lancelot]

At the start of March I spent three days in Ho Chi Minh City.

DAY 1: ZEUS.

I arrived in Ho Chi Minh at 4 pm, feeling tired after a lengthy 14 hour flight from the UK. It would have been tempting to go to bed and catch up on some sleep, but I only had a short time to explore HCMCs pay-for-play and wanted to hit the ground running.

My hotel in District 1 was chosen purely based on its proximity to the popular Bui Vien area. It took just five minutes to reach the busy street. Bui Vien forks off from the busy Duong Tran Hung Dao and is about 500 meters long with lots of bars and restaurants. I planned to explore it more thoroughly on another night but for now I was hungry, so chose a restaurant / bar called Donkey, which had a sexy girl dancing on a table inside. It was directly opposite the most popular bar on the street, Miss Saigon. I had my first bowl of pho of the trip, some spring rolls and a beer and was then ready to find a girl.

I'd done a lot of research on ISG prior to my trip and my plan was to go to Zeus Massage on my first night. I knew I'd be tired after the long flight so I just wanted to go somewhere convenient and easy. The place is easy to find, located at 359 Pham Ngu Lao, a street which runs parallel to Bui Vien. A young guy was sat on a chair outside and made a call on his walkie-talkie before escorting me up a flight of stairs. On the left was a waiting room, containing about ten reclining chairs facing a TV. Four young Vietnamese men were standing around a reception counter but I got the impression they were members of staff as opposed to customers. It was 7 pm and surprisingly there were no other customers.

I was handed a laminated flyer with a price-list and the services offered:

- 1 million, 70 minutes, massage, boob massage and blowjob.

- 1. 8 m, as above but 100 minutes, 2 pops and tongue bath.

- 2. 4 m, as above but 120 minutes plus 69.

- 3. 6 m, as above but with two girls.

Amusingly there was a 'VIP option' in which you could spend an eye-watering 13 million dong for 4 girls and 4 pops! As I was tired after a long day of travel I chose the cheapest option.

Then I was handed an iPad with a list of the available girls, their age and vital stats. I scrolled up and down several times admiring the girls. All of the photos were model-style professional shots of young, pretty, smiling girls. I've traveled extensively around Asia and explored a lot of the pay-for-play and have to say Vietnamese girls are as pretty as any girls in Asia. However, I knew not to get too excited. I'd read a few reviews saying that the girls don't resemble their photos and I remember a similar scenario years ago, picking a girl from the website of the famous Annie's Massage in Bangkok, then being severely underwhelmed when I met her in person.

I chose the youngest, who was very cute and had a resemblance to one of my best friends daughters who I've often fantasised about fucking. I got led up another flight of stairs to a corridor and he knocked on the first door on the right. The girl who answered didn't resemble the photo I'd picked even slightly. She was chubbier and facially completely different. She could have been a different girl! However, she was still young and cute and had nice curves beneath the red, lacy dress she was wearing. I was reasonably pleased. I'd lowered my expectations sufficiently enough not to be too disappointed.

However that's where things went downhill. She greeted me coldly with no smile, just a shrug towards the bed and she said 'undressed'. I tried to engage her in conversation as I got unchanged but she didn't speak English. Normally that's not a problem. I've met a lot of pay-for-play girls when there's a language barrier but you can still make very basic conversation, flirt and smile. But this girl seemed tired and bored, like my presence there was an inconvenience to her.

The first 20 minutes were a complete waste of time. The room included small cubicles with a steam room and a sauna and she invited me to sit in both. When I go to massage places I'm not interested in receiving a spa treatment! When finished I stood in a round bath and she showered and washed me with soap. When she washed my dick she blew a kiss, the first trace of any personality she'd shown. I dried off and lay on the massage bed and she proceeded to give me an excellent, professional-style massage. Her fingers were very firm and it was the perfect antidote to a long day's travel. At one point she stood on me and my back clicked. She then gave me a hot stone massage before asking me to turn over.

Finally, some action was imminent!

She took off her lacy top revealing a really firm pair of medium sized tits and began gently rubbing them up and down my stomach while caressing my dick. This has always been a big turn-on of mine but sadly it only lasted about 30 seconds before she began giving me a 'blowjob'. I use the word very loosely though because it wasn't really a blowjob, she just wanked me with her hand while half-heartedly pretending to suck. Her lovely arse was pointed in my direction, so I stroked it and inserted a few fingers in to her pussy. After a few minutes she gave up on pretending to suck me and wanked me off as I squeezed her lovely tits, until I came up my chest.

Overall I was unimpressed with Zeus. The girl was okay lookswise but bored and didn't make much of an effort. The sauna and steam room were completely unnecessary and the sexual parts were very disappointing. I was really looking forward to the boob massage but it only lasted 30 seconds and the blowjob wasn't really a blowjob at all and only lasted a few minutes. I ended up being wanked off for 1 million dong! The massage was excellent but we don't come to these kind of places for the massage.

Before I left I was handed a 20% discount flyer. Although Zeus Massage is very convenient and close to my hotel, I don't think I'll return. If the services provided were decent. A nice boob massage and a really good blowjob - 800,000 would be good value in my opinion given the young, reasonably pretty girl. But when you strip away all of the spa treatment extras, the sexual service I received was very average.

Tomorrow I plan to visit the hot-tocs on NPK street, where the service is meant to be much better and the prices much cheaper.

There was a bunch of them when I was there back in January / February. There were about half a dozen, standing on soy nana, next to Hilary bar. But I heard they left since then, chased by the police. I met a cute girl there and I practically wifed up with her for the time I was there.

Yes, I heard some were working around Nana. I know some used to work in Bangkok gogos (those where non-Asians were denied entry).

[Lefeu]

Where did you find them in Bangkok?

Agree about the scene in HCMC. It is tough for non-Asians, and especially for non-Vietnamese speakers.

All my favorite places are closed and they don't know when they can reopen. I hope this situation won't go on for too long.

Yes sure sucks to be you, whereas in the areas free of foreigner patronage its business as usual if anything girls are asking less hahah sure some massage places are closed but the htgd, the cafe om, the freelancers, the street girls are all business as usual.

Hi all,

I am silent reader from few weeks. After reading reviews I'm planning to do a trip to Vietnam. I'm a Canadian. Have been in Thailand last year. I didn't like that place, girls are not prettier than I expect. I like something like Chinese girls. Don't know I can get really cuties in Vietnam. Kindly advise me how can I find real pretty girls in Vietnam and which city would be good?

I had a lot of luck on tinder / tantan / wechat / line / zalo, so definitely try those. Some might advertise as massage but I found it best to just get straight to the point and tell them what your looking for after you get an offer (remember to ask for pix). On bui vien tons of young beautiful women offering massages, I know most say to avoid these types but honestly these were the best ones. If you like the girl, take her back to your place and have some fun. Most girls started at 2 mil vnd (LOL) but almost all accepted 500 k-1 mil, I'm not big into overnighters, so I don't have pricing for that. Also, there was one spot called crazy girls I think on bui vien. Drinks slightly overpriced but it's basically a girly bar. If you see something that catches your eye, have a sit, order yourself and her a drink. Most speak very little English but that's what google Translate is for. Tell her you want to take her to your place and she'll give you a price. I forgot how much it was but these girls were offering overnighters, by this time I was too drunk and just wanted to see what this place was all about, just an FYI, it is a little sketchy. I stayed at the galaxy boutique hotel, just steps away from bui vien, very clean, good WiFi, air conditioning, backpacker central, English widely spoken and really cheap. 20 usd a night on agoda. They didn't care about guest, I had about 10 in 3 days and was never given a second look. All else fails go to a hot toc, check YouTube for videos uploaded by lanlan and lala3. Lost of good info there. I also went to Hanoi this year as well, way harder to get some action there. I have a couple contacts I won't mind throwing your way, pm me for their what's app.

I just visited Thailand a few weeks ago. Honestly, I think the girls there look very similar to Vietnamese girls. If you couldn't find any girl in Thailand that fits your taste, I'm afraid it will be hard for you to find them in Vietnam.

I would disagree. The typical Thai look is notably different to the typical Vietnamese look.

Canada123 - If you're set on Vietnam I would suggest going to the North as chances are those girls may have more Chinese ancestry. However the biggest town there is Hanoi, and mongering action is not easy to find. If you prefer to the Chinese look your best bet really is China / HK / Macau. If there was no Coronavirus Macau would be the best place to get Chinese girls, assuming you had the money. If you're ok with brothel action, surely Vancouver would be the most convenient with its large Chinese population?

Beautiful girls in Vietnam, I agree, but relaxed scene? I did not find HCMC relaxing at all. I was being scammed left and right, everything had to be discreet. I had to move from a 4 star hotel to a 3 star, to get a girl to spend the night in my room. I can go on but I found the Viets adorable and easier overseas. Plenty of them in Macau, Singapore, Jakarta, and even Bangkok of all places.

I found Thailand to be disappointing as well. Lot's of beautiful girls here in HCMC and a bit more relaxed scene, although you have to work a bit more but it's not hard.

Your quoted prices seems to be the same rates as they were in Shanghai so I guess they believe they can get the same amount back home. I haven't been to Vietnam yet but am ready to give it a try.

If you're referring to Manhattan & Judy, I believe the standard ST / LT price was USD 215 / USD 430 based on today's exchange rates.

So China has caused some heart burns and it seems a lot of people are suffering, not just who live there but us people who are unable to visit our regular spots.

HCM seems like a good spot to explore and some of my contacts from China (Vietnamese) have sent me some photos of local flavour, but they are asking me usd200 for the night. Is this normal for local Vietnamese in Vietnam.

I got the explanation that they work at Apocalypse Now and that's the standard going rate they go out with foreigners.

In China I paid them usd300 a night which is a standard. Usd50 up or down depending on the girl.

Am attaching some photos for your reference.

Help guys, I don't want to get ripped off. Please advice what do local flavours go for and where do I get them. I only know one place and thays apocalypse now.
