Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

[Banana Boi]

I was planning to visit Vietnam earlier this year but went to Indonesia instead because I could sense that the country had way too many scams going on.

Like Thailand, I call Ho Chi Minh LOS as well. LOS means Land of Smiles in Thailand but in HCM I call it Land of Scams.

You have to be here long enough to learn the scams and avoid them. I let my guard down the other night and was hit by a scam in Little Japan. More later in the correct thread.

Thank you Captain Solo for your valuable advice. Next time if I ever go back I will use Gaito.

There are definitely very pretty ladies out there but they do lack that GFE.

If I do go back I will share my experience.

Plan77 I have to agree. I was in Bali in December and had a much more pleasant experience.

I was planning to visit Vietnam earlier this year but went to Indonesia instead because I could sense that the country had way too many scams going on. Could not be happier with my decsion.

Hi Everyone,

Nice to meet you all. I have followed you all for a while but first time posting.

I visited Vietnam for the very first time and had a 2 night stay in D1 area in HCM.

Day 1.

After exploring during the day I visited Biu Vien walking street.

Lots of loud music plenty of ladies but I wasn't familiar if could pick anyone.

I don't drink so makes life a bit harder.

Anyway lots of massage girls offering massage. I asked a few questions and settled for 1 mill VND massage with boom boom.

Got taken through an alley way into a massage shop.

The massage was below average and I asked for boom boom instead. Apparently baboon.

Boom according to the girl was hand job. Which was disappointing.

Lesson learnt. I just paid and left.

Went back to hotel. Now it's 11.45. The guy at the reception says if I wanted a girl. 1. 5 mil 1 shot.

Well I asked if I can see. There were a number of girls on the phone. I picked one and the hotel guy said girl will be there in 10 minutes.

The girl looked nothing like the picture.

I went ahead. 1. 5 mil 1 shot.

Problem. Girl says you need to give me 1. 5 mil tip. Total now is 3 mil. Well I said I am happy to give 500 k.

Next video call to a guy. Apparently I need to pay. Girl refuses to leave. I call reception guy to come up.

Guy talks to the girls and sorts out. Next another phone call from reception. Really sorry but please tip her 500 k.

Done. To avoid further problems paid.

Has this happened to anyone before? Or did I get scammed.

Night 2.

Paid a visit to little Japan. Looked better than biu Vien. All the girls wanted me to buy drinks and talk. No action.

Went back to hotel. I get a message on WeChat. Agreed to 1. 5 mil. I said I have no more money. Is this ok. Of course no problem.

Girl shows up. No the best but ok. After full service says can you tip me. I said I asked you before. Apparently not. I was supposedly taking to a guy.

Need 1. 5 mil tip. Again total is now 3 mil.

Anyway she gives me a direct WeChat. Accepts 500 k and goes. Thank god avoided further issues.

Conclusion.

Bad experience for me in HCM.

Girls created problems. Want double to pay the boss. Felt like a mafia style approach.

Has this happened to anyone?

What do you do? What did I do wrong?

Feedback appreciated.

I love Thailand. Never had issues.

[Captain Solo]

I have done a few bar and Wechat girls in Bui Vien district. Had a few good sessions but most turned out to be disappointments, hassles, headaches, switches, even transsexuals selling just BBBJ. I just avoid them.

3 Mil is a lot of money for a session, even the prettiest ones. You were ripped off brutally. Unfortunately there are lots of scammers around Bui Vien and areas in Dis 1. Most of those girls are controlled by pimps and gangsters. They will use any tricks or intimidations to squeeze money out of foreigners. You could just refuse to pay extras, tell then you will complain to the hotels. That will put some fear into them. If they threaten you, ask hotel to call police. They would back off. Cops would rarely show up. If they show they would play arbitrators, no hassles, no records. Tell the hotels to never let those girls back in their rooms to cause problems.

Book appointments with Gaito. Org in dis 8 or 10. Sessions cost between 300 K to 700 K with 100 K for a ST room. I had many hot, sexy sessions with some nice, clean, beautiful girls. Never had problems. Next trip I will stay in the fancy Enjoy Hotel 7 or Enjoy Hotel 6 B in dis 8 for $16 a night in Dis 8 and book girls in that area.

About 5,000 girls list their services in dis 8 alone, another 4,000 in dis 10 only 2 miles away. You can get girls from other districts to ride to your hotel for 200 K extra.

Stay in your hotel and ask girls to come to you. Don't get suckered into going into dark, narrow, filthy alleys regardless how good the pics look or what girls promise you. You may be lured in and set up for traps, get robbed or assaulted by druggies and criminals. A tough guy I know got beat up and robbed.

Hey everyone, arrived in HCMC down from Saigon, stopping in some cities on the way. Long time monger in Melbourne and Pattaya. This is my first time checking out stuff in Vietnam in HCMC.

Always preferred and used offline approach by talking in person. However, there seems to be more girls available at better rates on Gaito?

After reading the reports, am thinking of checking in at Mi casa.

Will I have to get a local sim? At present using data on my esim, but it seems the only way to get in touch with girls from Gaito is there number mentioned on their profile. And quite a few of them are not on whatsapp.

Any inputs is appreciated.

[Banana Boi]

Google Star fitness & yoga in District 7, or Skygarden swimming pool. You'll see the whole area is kinda it's own neighborhood. Just explore all those streets.

Thank you so much, Trace. What's the earliest I can go to this area and still find a decent amount of girls?

3 mill VND, wow! When there are cuties going for 500-700 k VND. You must have payed a premium tourist price.

Trace said 1.3 M. It's autocorrect that messes up numbers on this site.

Where are these brick and mortar shops where I can get FS with young cute girls for 500-700k?

[KrumeLurer]

Other place I got FS a few times was Ruby Massage 2. 1. 3 M vnd. Decent looking. Tiny pussy. Not used to foreign guys. Maybe she was new. This one is on a west side street, about 3 streets north of the main highway. There's a couple AMPS on this street 4-5.

[Trace79]

This is the same area as my previous post, situated in D7 - Starfit fitness is in the heart of this neighborhood. Been to a few AMPS here. Most are FS but not all. Going rate seems to be 300 vnd for the 'massage' + 500 vnd for a HJ / BBBJ, or + 1 M vnd for FS. There's only two legit massage places in this entire area. All the rest are offering extras it seems. One place is literally called 'Ice Cream Massage'. Got to love Asia. Most have the faded glass doors that make it difficult to see what the girls look like (but you can see / count the bodies from the outside), so you have to walk inside to check out the merchandise. Some have doors wide open or with girls sitting outside. Most of the girls in these places are not good looking, but there are some dimes here and there. One has to definitely window shop before pulling the trigger.

One place I got a pretty good actual massage followed by a HJ and then BBBJCIM for 800 vnd all in. The massage was good and she did lots of teasing before offering the HJ. I've had the massage happy ending plenty of times before and it usually doesn't do anything for me anymore unless the teasing technique is on point. This one was. No FS offered. I asked. Can't remember the name, but if you're starting at the main busy street / highway and walking north, it's on the second street on the east side. MP is on the north side of the street. You'll see the doors open and girls hanging out in the lobby or outside. There's a pomelo shop across the street. Some decent looking girls here.

Other place I got FS a few times was Ruby Massage 2. 1. 3 M vnd. Decent looking. Tiny pussy. Not used to foreign guys. Maybe she was new. This one is on a west side street, about 3 streets north of the main highway. There's a couple AMPS on this street 4-5.

Found one girl that's a solid 7. 5-8. Great tits. Cute face. Small little Keebler elf with white skin. BBBJ skills are decent but her mouth is just as tiny as her pussy. A' for effort. She gave me a rimjob last time. Nice tongue action. She is tiny but can take a pounding. She grabs her pussy after like it's broken and points to my dick saying, "Big sye! Vietnam small sye! (holding up one small finger to illustrate what her average customer is like). I love this broken English these girls throw out. Just enough to make their customers happy and not a word more. If only western women were like this, we wouldn't need Asian hookers LOL.

I think there are some 'high-end' working girl houses in this area, and also one directly south of this neighborhood but across the main highway. Called VIP Business Club or something. Has gold doors. I've seen van limos drop off Asian men here and when the doors open it has the black light whoring lights on the inside. Might be a fancy KTV. Find the park just north of Annam Gourmet supermarket. Go to the north side of the park. Head west. Get to the intersection. Turn right. Walk north one block. Turn left / west. Walk a few meters. If it's not on that street, it's on the street directly south running parallel. The gold door VIP place is on the north side of the street. I used to have an apartment on that street. Would see street walkers hanging out near that VIP club with the gold doors but a little further west down the same street. They didn't start their shift until about 9 pm (family neighborhood kinda). Don't know if they're still slinging puss or not.

Get a burger or steak at Annam Gourmet after. It's a classy place and great bang for the buck.

Sorry for requesting information that was previously posted on this forum but I'm unable to locate the info I'm seeking through the search function.

Around 6 months ago a guy talked about the Korean section in HCM and how there were many bars and massage places there. It looked like a nice area just to walk around. I forgot the name of the area or streets he mentioned. Anyone with more info about what I'm talking about?

The Cups.

You and I go to Mexico and the Phil.

What I posted are the truths. So bring it on!

Solo, I have been to all of these countries and lived in S. Korea, Brazil and now retired living in PI. I once had a gold baht chain stolen off my neck in Tijuana (my bad-- should not have worn it there). And my cell phone was stolen out of my hotel room while recharging in Tijuana so I disagree what you said about Mexico. In Rio my cassette headphones stolen right off my head while napping on Copacabana Beach. I live in Philippines now and the province and don't worry about theft but my buddy had his house in PI raided while he was on a business trip. In Ho Chi Minh City I saw a Vietnamese man steal another's motorbike. A few seconds later a mob of Vietnamese caught up to him, pulled him off the motorbike and beat him up. Then the cops showed up and beat him up some more. I also lost my wallet there in HCMC and recovered it from security at the building where I dropped it. Money and credit cards intact to my surprise. Been to DR 16 times and never had any problems. Maybe I'm just lucky but I admit I rarely go out late at night. Sexiest girls I been with are Venezuelans and Dominicanas and Indonesians but I love the big boobs on a small frame. Been to Medellin too and never had any problems although I was approached to buy cocaine which I do not do. Beautiful girls are in every country. Crimes of opportunity are also in every country. Especially scamming. Man, you are going to get a lot of flak about the stinky pussies and flabby, dark skin comment you made.

[Banana Boi]

I lived in Saigon for 55 days, my phone was stolen twice, and $1000 in cash was stolen.

This really comes down to common sense. Following a pimp to see some girls with $1000 in cash isn't the smartest thing to do in any country, let alone a country in SEA.

Keeping your phone very close to you in countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and even Thailand is a must. Never check your phone while facing the street. Even outside Classic Hotel in Jakarta the security guy will tell guys not to hold their phone out while they wait for their Grab. In Phnom Penh I was checking my phone in a tuk tuk and my Khmer girl freaked out saying someone is going to grab that while I'm inside the tuk tuk.

Concur 100%. Good and bad actors are everywhere. I had my travel phone stolen in Sosua. My bad. Left it on the table. 3000 pesos stolen by a girl who was supposedly my GF who was with me many times in Manila. Chain snatched in Shenzhen, China. Fortunately it was a fake one. Other than that my monger trips were uneventful. Was drunk many times but never got hurt. In Las Vegas I picked up a girl from the bar and we had a great time. I had won 6000 dollars which I forgot to put in the safe. I was drunk with the girl hit the bars. In the morning girl was there as well as 6000 dollars on the table. So not all are bad.

As for stinky pussies and bad behavior I have found in every country. And I have gone to many many countries. There is no country specific problems. When traveling use common sense and be safe. Be selective in finding girls. I have sent home many girls with taxi money after doing the finger test on their pussies. Like anywhere some girls are meticulously clean and others hardly take a shower.

People in Vietnam and Cambodia are aggressive and may rob and steal from tourists. But crimes are not common and a lot rarer than in Latin America.

It's a very bad idea going to Latin America. Besides crimes, most Latinas in Central and South America are huge, flabby, dark skin, about half have stinky pussies, disgusting. That includes Brazil, Costa Rica, Dom Rep, Peru, Bolivia ect.

Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena in Colombia have a few Colombian and Venezuelan spinners, but crimes are a lot worse than any country in Asia. Many US mongers have been drugged, robbed, tortured, murdered in Colombia. Even Mexico is far safer for mongers.

Safer to stay in Asia. Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phil, Thailand are much safer and better with lots of nice, clean beautiful girls, way lower costs too.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but if it is not, it is literally the most insane post I have read in 20 years on monger boards. The generalizations you make about the women in Latin America is bizard at best, and stupid and racist and just wrong. Have you ever been to Peru? Thousands of amazing woman. Have you spent five minutes in Colombia? Yes, Medellin and Bogota need care, but both are fantastic cities. Half have stinky pussies? Just stop.
