Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

Tonight I went to Apocalypse now.

I haven't been in that place for years but I had given up on it. Prices were high then but nothing like what you are talking about. ALso yes 1. 5 mil for some girl a xe om guy gets is also high. At that hour, you could go to Bui Vien area (Go2, many girlie bars, SW, etc.) and have your pick for that price or a bit lower even.

One thing, this "spin" you ask them to do, that's not normal here and I have to take the girls' side on that one. I've seen just a few guys do that (over years) and I have to say it comes off as demeaning to the girls, like they're a piece of meat or something. Once I was with a guy and he did that, you could see the girls' faces turn to scowls.

Tonight I went to Apocalypse now. I can see why reviews were shaky on this place. I walked out after a little under an hour. Drinks over 100 k dong. Beer 115 k dong, white Russians 130 k dong when on buy vien street beer is 30-50 k dong which is still overpriced honestly.

The hottest girls in the club were quoting me 5 mil dong for ST and had attitude when I asked them to do a quick spin for me so I could see what they were offering for 5 mil. The lowest I was able to get the girls down to at 2 am was 3 mil which is still crazy overpriced.

I ended up leaving, frustrated and complained to my motorbike taxi which then he asked me if I want boom boom with sexy girl for cheap. I said sure show me this place and he drove me to some hotel with a girl waiting in the door who was surprisingly hot.

She gave me full service. 1.5 mil dong for room, 500 k for tip. Seemed like I was still getting ripped off but from what I just dealt with at apocalypse now I was OK with it.

Overall review of Apocalypse now. Awful, If you want to get royally ripped off from every direction go for it. But you can find girls pretty much everywhere else with better attitude and cheaper prices. For the record I'm 32 with a fit body.

Don't waste your time.

Anyone have info on current situation in D1 areas and mongering places for hot toc or short time fun around the city?

What's going on w all the demonstrations and places or streets to avoid, and recommendations?

Planning on usual fun while visiting for the month. Anyone interested in gathering or meetups too?

The protests were something to do with a group of environmentalists that were protesting that they wanted change because a million fish died somewhere. That's all I could get out of the poor English some bartender told me. It was a great reminder of how much freedom you.

Have in Western countries because they shut down all news and social media sites for 2 days because of that protest.

If you're looking for hot tocs. Literally just walk down buy vien. You'll have a bunch of girls asking you if you want massage. Just ask first if you can boom boom or whatever you want. If they say no walk to the one 3 feet from her. Too easy. I haven't found any streets to.

Avoid yet. Everybody has been fairly nice except for the dick that stole my bike which I just posted about. Other than that I haven't had any issues here except trying not to get ripped off.

There's working girls on the streets. You can know who they are cause well they look like working girls. Or if they aren't advertising they are just sitting at a crowded bar by themselves just hanging out there. You'll know when you see them. Good luck. I'm checking out apocalypse now tonight to see if it's really worth.

Hello,

So my trip consists of 5 days in Saigon. For those looking for a hotel that's girl friendly I am staying at Eden Garden Hotel. I got the VIP room for around $28 a night off Agoda and I'm in the VIP room with a balcony. My warning is if you rent a scooter. Supposedly there's a law that you can't park on the road past a certain time or cops will confiscate your bike. Not sure how true this is but the guy.

That works at the hotel next door I think it's called A. And 1 hotel (Something like that) took it upon himself to steal my bike and put it at the entrance in their hotel. When I finally figured out where it was he wouldn't give it back to me unless I paid him 200 k dong.

Even the guy that rented it to me wouldn't help because he just opened his beer and was hanging out with his friends. Luckily the staff here is amazing and vouched for me and even took me to the police station to get this sorted out. The police still made me pay him 50 k dong.

To get my bike back but whatever. I do recommend staying at Eden Garden hotel, but if you do and you rent a bike watch out for the dick next door. Wake up the staff and they will put the bikes underground in their restaurant downstairs.

Found this girl on a phone app.
But I was quite curious to see what I would get. She was definitely the chick in the pics. 20 yrs old. Tits are nice. She charges 1. 7 mill and she'll come to your place. Just thought I would share. Anyone wants her ph number you can contact me.

Cheers.

Thanks for a great report. I'd appreciate her number. Sent you a pm. Please forward her mobile.

Cheers.

For my last night in HCMC, I decided just to go with the wechat girls again. This gave a little more insight into the operation, and I think I actually just got lucky on the first night. This second night, I ordered a girl, negotiated the price, and when she showed up at my room, she definitely wasn't the girl from the photo. I was upset. She wasn't even pretty. She was fat with a huge, cave-man face. I showed her the photo she had sent me earlier. At first she tried to claim she was the same girl, it was just photoshopped. After I laughed. She admitted that the photo is just a model. I told her that we already agreed if its not the same girl, then I don't pay. So she said "OK, then I go. " and I said "Yes, please go."

I have a feeling this happens quite a lot. The model girls in the photos probably aren't the actual girls they have available, but they figure most guys won't complain if the girl they send is pretty enough. This is such a typical Vietnamese way of doing business. The real estate companies do the same thing. Total bait and switch. This is why so many Vietnamese are so poor. They have no concept of good business. They're all about making the fastest dollar possible without thinking how to improve customer satisfaction to generate even more revenue.

Whatever. Wechat does have some amazing girls. I was chatting with an amazing 10/10 late on my first night. She even came to my hotel, but they wouldn't let her in past 10:00. So I arranged to meet her the next day for $40. When I sent her a message the next day, she immediately tried to change the price to $50. To try to teach these idiots a lesson, I told her "You're too much trouble. I doubt I'll have a good experience. I'll find another girl. " After that she seemed to realize she made a mistake and was sending me messages for the next hour trying to get me to change my mind.

The girl I finally settled on for the last night claimed to be 19, send some good photos, but when she showed up, again she wasn't the same girl. But it was already past 9:00 and I didn't have time to get another girl to my hotel before they closed to guests, and she was still probably an 7/10. So I decided I'd take her and make her pay for ever minute of my time. Turns out she was 26. Last time I use the wechat service in district 1 so close to my hotel closing time. The sex was actually pretty good for me. I lasted well over an hour, and he pimp was calling her on her phone before we finished, but I wouldn't let her go answer it until I was satisfied. She only used the KY jelly at the beginning, and by the end he moans we much more realistic and was sopping wet. But I guess she didn't appreciate me going so long, because when I wasn't watching she cleaned all her lipstick off onto my hotel towel. Now I'll probably have to pay for it.

So if you're feeling lazy, and have enough time to send the girls back when they don't meet your expectations, you can try the wechat. But don't expect good service.

So my trip to Saigon is coming to an end. And I thought I'd share a general report of how it went. Overall, it was a really lazy trip. I didn't want to go out to massage parlors, so I relied heavily on Wechat, Zalo, and setting things up in advance.

On my first day, I had to deal with a ton of problems with VN airlines. Flight was delayed, luggage got lost, etc, so I got to my hotel pretty late. I chose one of the nicer 4-star hotels in district 1. Not a good choice if you're planning to bring girls over late as they wouldn't let anyone in after 10, unless you walked in like you were supposed to be there. I checked out wechat, and found tons of young looking beauties. They all quoted a price at $60 usd right away, but could be bargained down to $40 for ST. They just ask for the name of the hotel and your room number, and they arrive 10-15 minutes later. The girl I ordered for the first night was amazing. HCMC seems to have higher quality girls for cheaper prices than Danang. However, the sex wasn't great. It was rushed, even though I was promised an hour, she started complaining for me to finish after 30 minutes.

All the girls on wechat in district 1 seem to come from the same source. So there's definitely some sort of ring operating in the area. Every girl offers the exact same price of $60 as soon as you ask. A lot of their wechat messages are the same. And some of the girls I chatted with were not the actual girl they were posing as, but some sort of middle man. The bad thing about this is that bargaining is difficult. The good thing is that you can ask for a different girl, and they have tons of photos to send you and you can choose which girl you want. They guarantee that if the girl who comes to the door is not the one from the photo, then you don't have to pay. They had a lot of 19 year old 10/10's to choose from all for the same price of $40-$60 usd depending on your bargaining.

On my second night, I mainly spent it juggling 2 dates I'd set up before hand via dating websites, and even a non-working girl I met on wechat the day before. 2 of the dates resulted in a bang. One was a disappointed bust. Total "user" type of girl, who plays along all the way up until coming back to the hotel room, and she acted horrified that I wanted sex when we were sitting on my bed in my hotel room. Go figure.

Bars in the backpacker district with girls, cost 1. 5 million -- all near where Bui Vien meets Do Quang Do street. Expensive and very mixed in quality, but if you look hard you might find a good one. Someone said more girls come late (midnight and after) but I haven't checked that late.

Apocalypse Now disco on Thi Sach street. Price ranges from girl to girl but 1. 5ST is possible. Sharpen your bargaining skills.

Full service massage parlors in District 10 at 1. 3 million - 815 LE Hong Phong street is probably best one -- Hai Yen is the name. Others near there. Haven't tried myself yet but have heard good things. I hear it's busiest 5-11, so just before that probably best selection.

Nguyen Phi Khanh street in upper district 1 with lots of 'hot toc' salons offering BJ at 400 -- tried this recently, pretty good. Start at Vo Thi Sau and walk up this street, they're about half-way to the next big street. 8-10 of them.

Go 2 bar after about 2 am, upstairs, dance floor area. Many working girls come at that time (from Apocalypse and elsewhere). Not sure of current price but probably 1. 5 million or so. Corner of Bui Vien and De Tham street, backpacker district.

As you see, there's some very different types of venues here. Obviously there is more than this out there, but this is a pretty good place to pick something to start out with, for new people here.

Hello fellas,

Anyone live in HCMC? I am planning on relocating here next winter.

30 year old single white male. Not a monger per say, but have done P4P a few times in my life.

I visited Saigon a few years ago on a short trip. Didn't have a great time. Mostly because of getting scammed, the nightlife I checked out and me not getting laid.

While not good for a quick hook up with a normal girl, Vietnam is awesome for getting quality girlfriends.

Anyone here live in HCMC and have a VN GF or wife? Curious about your experiences and opinions.

Cheers

Dude,

Finding quick hook-ups in Saigon and Hanoi are both incredibly easy if you know how to play the game. As a 30 year old dude, you're in the golden zone for hooking up. You should read some PUA blogs which target Vietnamese girls.

Try these. Lots of great info. You'll never have to P2P.

I read that prostitution is illegal in Vietnam. This can mean many different definitions. What is allowed and not allowed? Needless to say, no children.

In big cities like Saigon and Hanoi, it is not any more illegal than most city in the US, say Los Angeles or NY, Chicago. Sex between consenting adults are legal. The biggest difference is the people characters. The Vietnamese in general are friendly but reserved. They do NOT like noisy, rowdy bar scene. If you see those, they are mainly to please the western expats, and those who aspire after western life (mostly young Vietnamese). They are frown upon by the communist party because it is considered a threat to their hold of power. If you just go gently and quietly about your hobby, most will leave you alone enjoying your time in VN. Some may even help you realize your earthly desire.

Go softly and carry a big wad of cash, you shall find what you seek.

Being loud or noisy, you will find unwanted attention from loving, caring, morally upright communist neighbors. Above all, remember that Vietnam is still communist, NOT a free country.

Good luck, and enjoy Vietnam.

Sorry, exclude my other post. Already asked that question on my previous handle. (Lost the name and login details).

Anyone here go to the beer gardens, beer clubs, etc? Seems they are much more popular than proper dance clubs.

Made the mistake of not researching them on my trip to Saigon. Waisted time and money on some way overpriced and empty clubs.

Some good ones I heard about are Kingdom Beer Bars, Vuvuzela Beer Clubs, and Poc Poc Beer Garden.

Found this girl on a phone app. Actually someone uploaded her pics and they offered her services. Anal, BBBJ, ATM and CIM. Usually I try to stay away from people advertising on phone apps because I feel like I'm not going to get the same chick.

But I was quite curious to see what I would get. She was definitely the chick in the pics. 20 yrs old. Tits are nice. About 168 cm tall. And very kind.

Let me take pics. She charges 1. 7 mill and she'll come to your place. Just thought I would share. Anyone wants her ph number you can contact me.

Cheers.

Nice catch, looks like a cutey!
