JD

Sorry for my ignorance..What is the full name NPK road?

Tks in advance

[Mik Hcmc]

I'm with you on this one too JD.
Theres nothing wrong with helping out people, That is what the forum's are all about including this one. No doubt with the new information surfacing from other forums some of it will trickle down onto this website which is a good thing isn't it?
The VN forum has become quite stagnant in recent times. There's only certain areas you can go to for mongering and most have already been covered to death in these past pages. I too have looked at local VN forums and discovered a couple new places and have written up my experiences previously, Had I not visited these establishments then this VN forum will have had fewer reports.

No doubt Jackson's got to protect his interests/forum from outside advertising however when its all related to the topic (mongering) I see it as a little bit over the top. ISG is not the only mongering forum out there.

Other websites that discuss sex and mongering are not necessarily to be viewed as your competitors. ISG covers the whole world, in English. A site that covers only the local country such as Vietnam and is written only in Vietnamese hardly competes with you. Most proprietors recognize 'the more the merrier principle'. Bars tend to congregate on the same street as do restaurants and shoe shops. In Vietnam, the brothels are all located next to one another. Sharing information brings in more business, it doesn't chase it away.

Greetings Gentlemen,

With all due respect, I would very much appreciate it if you would not use my forum to publicly solicit or exchange information on how to find and/or use my competitor's website(s).

Thanks,

Jackson

Now I appreciate that JD is getting FS for VND300,000 elsewhere but this is smack in the middle of D1 and therefore pretty good value.

It's not just JD who is getting FS for 300k (more like 500k for better ones nowadays). All my friends and most of my acquaintances do as well. This is normal for guys who live here. They don't bother with this Forum at all as there is absolutely no info for them here. Just newbies and tourists mostly writing about paying $100 at HBT bars or asking basic questions that have been asked over and over. It's funny to read those posts for a laugh once in a while, they say. Only informative posts are the usuals about NPK BJ shops and DBP and vicinity. So nothing new ever reported on. They don't do pics as I like to do but they sometimes lurk to see mine.

Read Viet Forums on the same topic as this and they are full of CG info with pics and girls range from 200k to 500k usually. A huge wealth of info out there if you can read Viet.

Yes, that is smack in the middle of the tourist area of D1, but why buy anything in the middle of the tourist area of D1? Tourist areas are always overpriced. They are for those who don't know better because they have not had the time to explore. Just look at the prices of things along Dong Khoi Street, the same things you can buy elsewhere in the city. A cup of coffee costs more there than it does in NYC.

Wendella reported on this place which is up an alley directly opposite the Kim Long hotel (which used to be GF but now has a new owner so I am not sure).

I was sucked in by the same SYT that Wendella saw but she does not sit with customers at all because she belongs to the boss. The other gals were all hags out of that sorry establishment at 49 Dong Khoi. Being forewarned I was able to size the situation up pretty quick and get out.

But being curious I wandered into the massage place opposite and saw some nice lookers there. I went back next day and was told VND200,00 for one hour and I got them to settle on VND100,000 for 30 mins. Chose the older of the two attractive gals because she had bigger boobs. Down the back partitioned with curtains - pretty private. I stripped the lot off and the gal did not object or coming running with shorts - so I thought that was different. The massage was not bad - good and firm. So I caressed the bum as it went past to check for a reaction and she asked if I wanted to turn over. She then proceeded to HJ and then TJ on request until I finished on her tits.

She wanted tip of VND400,000 so I gave her half that and walked out.

All of this was in english.

I also saw a lot of girls hanging out on the street. They dress like ho's but none of them asked me for anything. Anyone know the deal?

Many Vietnamese women and girls, especially going out at night, dress like Ho's. They think it's 'classy'. For many Vietnamese women (and I have to limit this to HCMC and most surely NOT Hanoi where women look and dress much better, overall), they think the Hollywood Boulevard streetwalker look circa 1987 look is 'high class' and they use this term in Vietnamese to describe it too. Viets for the most part are unstylish and uneducated, especially those from the Mekong Delta who come to the city.

Here is the rundown. I got some good info from Vale64. Thanks for that.

Just as he stated, the street Hai Ba Trung is a good place to go. I went mid afternoon. Bars already open. Girls putting on make up etc.

I started at 41 Hai Ba Trung. There is a cigar shop there and a Gourmet Supermarket with deli across the street. Walking up the street you will see bars like 49, 51, and 91. They are the bars names, and had touts opening the doors and you can see the girls inside.

I went in one, typical deal. Sit as far back as you can. You can get most of the action in the shop all the way to BJ, but for FS they want you to leave and get a room.

On the corner of where I started, (see pic for street names, and second pic has the street sign of the address where I got FS in the bar) - Dong Du and Hai Ba Trung.
This shop at 11 Dong Du, has a huge Apple logo in silver, almost like Apple Computer logo.

Inside this shop I got a girl. We sat upstairs in the pool table room. I got her and myself a drink. She pretty much told me we can do anything we want in the bar. The fee to the house is VND 400K plus she asked for VND 1.3 million. I think that is steep. I bargained with her and got down to 2 drinks, and VND 500k to her, no house fee as long as we do it fast, nobody sees and she wont tell the bar. If you do this, be discreet so as not to mess it up for us deal seekers.

Later that evening, I walked around again. All the bars getting more busy and touts asking you in. I skipped. I got a massage across the street from 91. They charge double what most charge $15. The girl was so innocent looking and never tried anything. Finally at the very end, she asked to massage my "baby". I declined as I wanted FS.

I also saw a lot of girls hanging out on the street. They dress like ho's but none of them asked me for anything. Anyone know the deal?

Does anyone know of any pregnant working girls? I've been living in Viet Nam (HCM & Ha Noi) for over 2 years and have yet to find one. I know, not for everyone, but something I'm keen to try. I was thinking maybe one of the HBT girls who is only semi retired for 9 months.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just found this fourm and look forward to participating and being a productive member.

I have read from time to time that you can find girls on Pham Ngu Lao.

From the trip I took last year, I went out to that street on more than one occassion and never had any success.

I am sure others including myself could use a bit more information/help, in order to find success on Pham Ngu Lao.

Thanks!

Vietnam, especially Pham Ngu Lao, is not a friendly easy place for P4P for newbies. Easy for locals and experienced ex-pats.

I was in Pham Ngu Lao last February.

There aren't that many FLs in that area.

During the evening/nights, I observed approximately 6 FLs walking around or sitting at the tables on the sidewalk of the Go-2 bar. They're FLs; local "good" girls do not hang out and walk around Pham Ngu Lao. I guess they can be hard to spot. A good bet is that if they're not carrying books, cigarettes or tissues to sell, they're working. The girls are between semi-ugly to marginal. The girls cost between 500K. 700K Dong (of course there initial price will be higher).

I normally sit at the bar next to the Go-2 bar (cheaper beers) and watch the girls walk by. Since there's only a few walkers, you might have to wait a while before something decent comes along. The waitor at that bar offered to get a girl for 800K Dong.

Higher level girls will be at the Go-2 and Buffalo discos (upstairs). But note that the girls will come in late (maybe past midnight?). Was told by an ex-pat that the price will be 1 Mil Dong (might be higher if the girl is really cute).

P4P is not "in your face", like it was in the early 90's in District 1. I remember being constantly "harassed" by pimps and girls in moto-bikes. Currently in District 1, it's a lot more discrete.

[Toddtworip]

On the low end 300-500k for sex. There are many places in this price range but probably the easiest for tourists would be around Pham Ngu Lao.

Last night I checked out a few of the HBT bars. I started at 91 and there were so many beautiful girls it was hard to make a choice, I wanted all of them! I stayed there an hour or so and checked out a few more bars down the road. 91 has the lookers that's for sure, but the other places I visited weren't so bad either. HBT is as close as you can get to Soi 6 in Pattaya, minus the girls screaming vulgar request as you walk down the street. The girls here are way more beautiful than their Thai counterparts hands down. Thanks for the info guys, this is a place that I will be visiting again and again!

[Terwagne]

Time in the bar 1 hour, 15 minutes taxi drive and 1.5 hours in the room. 30US$ per hour?
