Ho Chi Minh City - Massage Parlors

[Cadmus]

When you approach the entrance of Hotel Saigon Star, the guys outside ask if you are for massage and guide you in. Same entrance as the hotel. Massage is in 9th floor.

Manager explains packages. I think the pricier ones were 4 to 6 mil with two girls and longer time.

I got a standard one with 75 minutes 1,6 mil. Tips is included and price includes blowjob. No picking girls but I was told that I can change if I don't like.

Afterwards I calculated that duration was a bit under 1 hour.

But massage-wise there were not much more needed, as it was pretty average as mentioned many times.

Room was ok with jacuzzi (which we used only for washing), steam room, sauna and bed.

Girl guided me to steam first, then she washed me (bit rushed).

After that came dry massage. Then hot stones. Then some simulated licking kind of action. This was followed by short body-to-body oil massage.

After that came the finale. I am guessing that girls want to reserve time for that, in case of hard mongering so it takes long time.

BBBJ but quite average. Urged me to roam with hands but felt like to expediate the process.

No true CIM. Of course some in mouth but not what CIM lovers like. I didn't press the issue, seemed that just sucking with some fake moans was best she could do.

Afterwards she washed me shortly.

She called herself Kim, and said her number was 69.

Did not ask for extra tips, which was a nice.

She was pretty enough, with few basic English small talk questions.

Seemed to relax a bit only afterwards.

On a scale I'the say looks and body was 7. Performance 6. Attitude 7 but you could tell that she was not totally in to it.

Price / fun grade 5 or 6 on a global scale.

Overall Saigon Star gets points for delivery, everything is as said, no extra gimmicks to rip of more money. Also other staff was very helpful and polite.

Manager asked for what kind of girl I like, I said friendly and happy. I was there on Monday evening so maybe other nights might have more girls. I was the only customer. For better conclusion maybe you should ask for girl that really likes BJ's / men / sex.

Fruit, water and red bull are offered in room, Tea and water afterwards.

Went to Spa Linh Cherry mostly because I didn't have time scout around and it has reputation of being a quality though expensive full service place.

Went on early Friday evening, little before six.

Got a pretty good lineup, maybe 20 girls.

Manager has price sheet for room and time options. Got a 500 k package as I did not have time for more.

Lineup was quite good, hard to choose. From 7 up to even 9.

Some girls were bit avoiding eye contact even though very atttactive so skipped many on that basis.

I asked manager which ones liked me, she pointed out one who was clearly signaling pick me.

I also asked manager that this is a full service place, right? She immediatly aswered yes.

I went with a hottie with good eye contact.

She said her name was Helen. Quite tall for a viet girl, 165 cm roughly.

She could manage a bit English, usual questions but not much understanding the answers.

After the massage part she said she can do HJ for 1000 k, BJ for 1500 k but can't do FS because I am too long. I haven't heard that from others so I think this is BS.

I also asked for CIM, she could not do this.

She asked for payment before, which I did not do.

To summarize experience was pleasant, facilities nice (not special), pretty girl with nice demeanor, but for a massage and BJ very overpriced.

They take card too with 5% comission, at least on room payment. Don't know if this works with tip-part also because you negotiate this later up in the room.

For better experience I would ask mamasan would this or that girl do FS. Mamasan was a younger lady so you might feel awkward but it's cool, she has heard it all.

Just curious if Benny's made it through the COVID crisis. Man, I had a lot of great BBBJs CIM there.

[ColinBakerKing]

Visited this place because I was in the mood for a good massage and happy ending but not FS, since my back was sore.

Massage skills were good. I went mid afternoon and didn't get to pick from any lineup of girls, but the one I got assigned was cute and slim with a firm ass but not much in the way of boobs. Anyway, I would say 9/10 for massage and HJ skills, the salt scrub after was also good. Definitely worth a visit if that's what you're after. Staff speak no English.

I've visited Massage Linh Cherry twice now. Both times was solid, got to choose from a lineup of 8-10 girls. Paid massage fee, then 2 M per girl for FS. First visit Yuki and her friend were amazing. Second visit the girl was also fun but could not handle full depth, so I eventually let her finish me by hand.

[JusRide]

Just visited Kawaii Massage Spa and paid the same. I left fully satisfied. There was about 10 girls all 8-9's in my opinion and looked to be in there 20's. The girl that I choose said she was 29, but she looked 24.

Tried one of the side streets and went upstairs. 400 for massage and 2 million for FS. Girl was pleasant and willing to please.

I just asked if boom boom was possible. Was able to pick my girl.

L Thnh Tand, beếand Ngh, Quậand 1.

I have walked down this street a few times and see many spa, bars, and places that look good to try.

How do you know if you can get full sex? Can you ask the girl trying to drag you in? Is there something I need to look for to speed up decision?

I don't have a lot of time but would like to find something quick and easy.

Zalo location serviced stopped working.

Wechat and tinder worked but so much back and forth.

The other night I walked down Bui Vien street, sampling the sights and sounds. After failing to get bar girl, several massage places were more than happy to take me in for business. I finally settled on one about halfway, just a little down one of the alleys. Once inside, everything was on the menu. The rest of this story belongs in the main forum I think, so I'll write it there. Other massage reports. The Little Japan area also has some good massage joints, though it was also a little more expensive.

[Pranked]

StSeconding the call, will also be in HCMC in a bit. I don't much specific recently, can any vets point us to the best streets / areas in town to try our luck? Thanks!

[Fuhhhhhh]

It's time for the post pandemic travel! I might be going too early before everything is fully open, but I'm traveling to HCM in the next few weeks, and I'm super excited to explore. It's as if I'm going to burst with excitement I'm hoping to go to a parlor daily, so if anyone has any advice recently it'd be much appreciated. I did read the service isn't back to where it was pre pandemic, but I hope my frequent visits can change that. I will try to keep posting so look out for that. If I'm breaking any rules, I apologize in advance and hope to be better moving forward. Please and thank you.

TLDR: The massage place didn't give me the option to choose from a lineup of girls, did I get played?

Been here a couple of days, went to 2 massage places that seem to be part of the same chain of massages Minh Tam.

For the first one, I just wanted to check it out so chose the cheapest ticket of 320 K. You undress in a locker and the guy then brings you to a small room. Couple of minutes later the girl enters, I was surprised as I did not get the chance to pick from a lineup. She look ok, 7.5, slim, small chest, so I didn't contest and went with it. Started with massage, then the flip, very weak on-and-off oral (I couldn't feel her mouth) that lasted a combined of no more than 30 seconds, mostly used her hands. When done, thanked her and off I went down to the reception. I asked them is it possible to choose the girl, they say I have to choose the VIP 720 K option (or 750 K I forgot)..

Which Minh Tam did you go?

There are lots of Minh Tam massages and most of them didn't belong to the same business group.

Previously went to "Minh Tam" too (not sure if its the same "Minh Tam" you went). Yes, its common practice that they do not show you and let you choose the girls beforehand. But you can ask to change one if you don't like the one being assigned to you.

Business standards for most massages has been turning bad after the reopening. Lots of girls are in debt at interest they couldn't pay. This has affected their work attitude badly and even turning to scam customers for extra money.

The second time to another massage, I chose the VIP option, was led to a bigger room. But to my surprise again, the girl just entered and I didn't have the option to choose. She was slim, 7.5 again, slim, a little more chest, so kept her. She gave off a cold feeling at first, the attitude was not bad, but just not welcoming. Pretty much same routine, with an additional bath at the beginning where she washed me (her standing outside the bathtub with clothes on). With VIP option, it was supposed to last 2 hrs, but she was getting impatient at the 1 hour mark and told me to finish within 5 minutes. I typed on the translator "if I finish now what am I supposed to do for the other hour", she said something that was lost in translation, didn't know what she meant. So we finished shortly after, probably still 35 minutes left. Total was.

This second girl looked OK, but had kinda similar face as the first girl, I wish I could've chosen a girl that appealed more to my taste. I was a little pissed, I didn't get to choose the girl even with the high priced VIP option, they just chose for me. I mean you even get to choose your preferred girl at a 300 K hot toc place right?

So my question is: is this common practice everywhere, or only at this chain of massage places, or have I been played because I'm a foreigner?

I don't feel like going to these types of massage places anymore if that's the norm.

I just heard from local contacts that the new date for opening the borders here is 15th April, delayed from the initial target of 15th March. Also as has been reported elsewhere, daily covid numbers are still very high especially in the north of the country. It's almost certain that Vietnam will continue to require proof of vaccination before entry so any anti-vaxxers will have to stay home.

Usually I travel to SE Asia every two years for about three months. One of the countries I have to visit is Thailand and from there I decide where else I like to go. Right now is usually the season that I like to visit so I can escape the raining season towards the end of my stay.

Next trip was to go to Vietnam and journey from Hanoi to Saigon via motorbike. However, although Vietnam and Thailand starting to welcome tourist with very "minimal" restrictions, I'd like to wait a little, for two reasons. One and most important is I don't know how the roads are after a year plus of neglect during shutdown and if the provinces I'd like to ride though are open. Second is, I'll give it time for things to smooth out a bit.

Since I like to have ticket on hand way in advance, I'm setting August-September as decision time.

See you there!
