Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

For some reason, the Admin here keeps on changing the correct spelling I give the for city name of "the Nang. " Admin, please stop changing what I write. I correctly spell the city name as "the Nang" but you keep changing it to "The Nang. " If you don't believe me, use google maps and type in the Nang or Danang Vietnam, and you'll see the correct spelling of that city.

This forum must be using some algorithm to attempt auto-correct spelling, and it doesn't work because city names in Vietnam and in Vietnamese. At any rate, I'll try one last time. The name of the city in question starts with a the as in dog, followed by an A as in apple. Then the second word is correct as Nang. Geez. It's the 3rd largest city in Vietnam, after HCMC and Hanoi.

It's an autocorrect feature on the website, not the admin directly changing the spelling himself. It keeps people from saying “DA” instead of the, as “DA” is American English slang for The. You're probably better off writing it as Danang vs the other way.

I meant the Nang, not The Nang.

The Nang does not compare to HCMC, not even close. Check out the forum "Other Areas" for a few posts on the Nang.

There are a lot of people asking about the scene in HCMC. I was just there and met up with other mongers, largely Vietnamese-Americans, and can give a quick rundown of my experiences...

Overall: Vietnam's biggest advantage over other countries is that it is cheap. Gaito has some of the best price to girl looks ratios I have found in the world. The service of gaito girls is typically mediocre and it is a suck and fuck affair. The massages are good value if you are happy with a blow job. But I love the white skin on Vietnamese girls. Downsides are that you won't get the quality of service that you get in Thailand or Latin America, the lack of English (and the poor translating ability of google translate in Vietnamese), the visa policy (30 days before a visa run) and the terrible traffic. I would recommend going there if you want to go to Thailand but are on a tighter budget or if you are really into light skinned asians and don't want to deal with the BS and prices in Korea, Japan or China.

This is a very good and accurate summary of the erotic (and more) opportunities in HCMC. I don't have much more to add but would like to add a few comments.

Little Japan massage parlors. This area came into existence to cater to upscale clientele, most of whom are Japanese and Korean businessmen that work for foreign companies with operations in or outside of HCMC, and for whom money is no object.

Pros:

• Have some of the best looking girls; some are drop-dead gorgeous.

• Convenience; many bars and MPs concentrated in a relatively small, dense area – "One stop shopping".

• Ability to see and choose the girl of your liking.

• Most girls can speak foreign languages, including some English.

Cons:

• Expensive to very expensive.

• Some are quite aggressive in trying to get your business as currently the ratio of "shoppers" to "sellers" is still very low until full tourism has returned.

Non-Little Japan MPs. Massage places in District 1 but outside of LJ are mostly HJ and non-FS; I've tried a couple in the past for FS without success. For FS, you'the have more luck outside of D1. Try those in D10, Tan Binh, Binh Thanh, for example. Having local guy friends who are knowledgeable would help tremendously. If not, then google search may result in a few hidden gems. FS MPs exist but will require a bit of work / research to find.

Pros:

• Less / much less expensive and better value than in LJ. If the OP stated price of up to $100 (2. 38 million dong) for 90 minutes is without tip, then that's way too high and over-paid, especially if it's without FS. Entry fee should only be 500 k dong or less for 1 hour. I would not tip more than $50 USD for FS outside of D1.

• Can ask for a "line up" and choose the girl you want. If not, then take the route described by the OP; send the girl back for another if you don't like her.

Cons:

• Inconvenience; scattered all over the map.

• Requires work / research to find.

• Language barrier. Outside of D1, the girls mostly don't speak much or any English.

Internet. Try kynuviet dot net without www, then gai goi sai gon tab. Then follow the OP's original guidance. If you use google browser, when you get to the main page, it'll ask if you want the page translated to English. Click yes. Also gaito dot xyz preceded by www as the OP suggests. You'll see that D10 has the most, followed by D8.

Bars. Agree with what OP states. However, at some bars, you can take the girl out back to your hotel if you pay the bar fine, which can be hefty. If you don't do this, then it can be a big waste of time and money without any result to show for it.

KTV. This is the biggest waste of time and money, especially if you go there alone. These places exist to cater to groups of friends and company colleagues for after-hours entertainment. Very expensive with no FS in return. Also, there was a big fire at a KTV in Binh Duong province, HCMC a few weeks ago that killed 32 people. LE has been cracking down KTVs since that incident.

Clubs. Many cater to local rich young people and may or may not be a venue where you can easily find professional girls. Also, can be packed and always deafeningly loud. I used to go to Apocalypse Now, which had many foreign patrons and ex-pats. It was much easier to find professionals there, but I think it's closed or may have changed ownership.

Hot Tocs. Concentrated on Nguyen Phi Khanh. These are BJ places, and the girls there are mostly not very attractive. Talent has gone downhill in the past few years; not like it used to be. These are cheap, quick-fix places, but may still leave you feel unfulfilled.

Summary. If you're a Viet Kieu (Vietnamese living outside of Vietnam), can speak the language, and go to Vietnam to visit relatives or as a tourist, then HCMC should rank above other SE Asia destinations for mongering. If you don't speak the language and travel mainly for mongering, then it may be harder to choose VN / HCMC over Thailand.

Have you tried the Nang and how does it compare to HCM scene?

The Nang does not compare to HCMC, not even close. Check out the forum "Other Areas" for a few posts on the Nang.

Excellent report. Thanks DandyMan51.

Wondering if you tried Escort (hotel call-ins) with the girls on kynu as well? Does this work well?

I guess this would still be one of the most relaxed / safest ways for FS right? Or is there troubles to be expected with the hotel / police?

There are a lot of people asking about the scene in HCMC. I was just there and met up with other mongers, largely Vietnamese-Americans, and can give a quick rundown of my experiences.

Massages (non-Little Tokyo): There are a ton of places that do massages in HCMC. Just look-up massages and most of them will be an erotic massage. If you aren't sure, just check the hours. If it closes after 9 PM, it is probably a working place. The prices for these places range from $50-$100 for around 1. 5 hours of service. The way it works is you go to the location. You pay either the room fee only or the room fee (ticket) and the girl price (tip) to the front desk and they take you to the room. There is a small sauna in the room and a bathtub. Depending on the place they will ask you what you are looking for a girl and based on this they will send a girl to your room that may or may not be up to your standard. Typically I don't take my clothes off for the sauna until I see a girl I like. If you don't like the girl, you can ask to switch and they will change the girl. Most places typically have a rule for up to 3 switches before telling you to just pick one or leave. Some places will keep switching but it really depends on how many girls are there that day vs the number of customers. If you decide to leave, they will give you your money back, I have never had a problem with this. If you pick a girl, she will turn on the tub to fill it up while you either wait or go in the sauna. She will fill the tub up and take off her clothes. Depending on the girl, she may help take off your clothes too. From the sauna you go straight to the tub where the girl cleans you and may tease you a bit. She washes every part of your body, especially your dick and cleans herself a bit. She will typically get in the tub with you and you can play with her body to your heart's content (rubbing / grabbing her tits, ass, pussy and body). You then go to the bed / massage table on your stomach where the girls will start giving you some form of massage. Depending on the place it will vary in quality but it won't be anywhere no professional quality (naturally). The massage will be some combination of a swedish massage, shiatsu and nuru depending the girl and location. She will then flip you over and proceed to do the same on your front with the added benefit of her giving you a handjob and blowjob and some nipple sucking. I had one place where the girl did sumata on me. They will do this until you blow your load and for a little longer to make sure it all comes out. The girl will typically than clean herself off in the shower before asking you to come and quickly cleaning your body off. You will dress up and give the girl the tip (equal to the ticket price), if you didn't already give it to the front desk and the girl will escort you back to the lobby. The girls at these places are generally 6-8 in rating though 8's are rather rare. FS is off the table for almost every massage place. There is an odd couple that offer it but I never visited them. I have kissed the girls but they don't kiss back. The girls are generally quite sweet and it is a good experience that you are unlikely to find in many other places.

Massages (Little Japan): There are a handful of massage places in Little Japan that deserve their own section. The best of which is Linh Cherry. The biggest advantage of this place is that full service is almost guaranteed (I have only heard of one girl here who didn't). This area is oriented to foreigners and is run by the Vietnamese navy instead of the police force so there is no risk of being hassled here. When you enter Linh Cherry, the staff sits you down in the lobby where the girls all line up wearing white ao dais. You pick the girl before going to the room. These girls as a whole tend to be prettier than the other massage places and the ao dais help. The price for the room is 500 k VND for one hour ($22). When you go to the room the procedure is the same as the regular massage places but the girl doesn't take off her clothes when she bathes you nor does she for the first half of the massage. Once she instructs you to flip she will typically ask if you want any extras. FS is 2 Million VND, BJ is 1. 5 million VND so there isn't really a reason not to do FS unless you are vehemently against it. You bang the girl in whichever way you want until you cum after which you do the same shower and payment to the girl before leaving with the girl back downstairs to the lobby.

Gaito: This is the main online tool and is used by the locals. The website is all in Vietnamese but some google translate is enough to get through it. It is similar to escort websites anywhere else but the advantages are that the girls are reviewed by other mongers and there is full transparency in the services and prices offered. The downsides are that you need to go to the girl and the pictures are all photoshopped though the reviews help filter out through this. Price for the girls are generally between $10-$100. I wouldn't recommend any girl that is less than $25 because the quality of the girls and that of the hotels they work at drop off. When you find a girl that you like you send her a text message in Vietnamese (there are guides to this to sound vietnamese but google translate will work to). If the girl figures out you are a foreigner through your shitty google translate Vietnamese she will typically ask for an extra 100 k VND ($4-5). She will send the hotel / motel she is working at and the address. You go to the hotel, ask the front desk for a room for an hour (you will almost never need longer) and text the girl your room number. One time I actually saw the girl I was texting in the elevator as she was going between clients. You take a shower and lie naked on the bed. The girl will then knock the door or come right in depending on if the door is locked. Typically the girl will come 10-20 minutes after you text her the room number. She will shower and you do the deed. Usually starting with BBBJ and then into FS. The whole process will likely take no more than 20 minutes and the girl will shower and dress up immediately after finishing as she likely has another customer waiting. You pay the girl as she leaves and leave the room, return the key and pay for the room (typically between $10 and $15 for an hour).

Line: If you use the people nearby feature on line you will be messaged by a number of working girls. They will almost always be different from the pictures on their profile and may even be secret ladyboys. I wouldn't recommend this option but it is an option if you want the girl to come to your hotel.

Bars (Pasteur and Little Japan): There are a number of bars where some really hot girls sit outside and inside beckoning for customers in both of these areas. This in my opinion is the biggest waste of money. Almost none of the girls will go back home with you and even the ones who may consider will only do so after they have bled you dry through drinks. The drinks at these places are overpriced and the girls will typically only stick around if you buy them lady drinks. Girls will keep coming and as you get more drunk you will keep buying drinks. I have seen many a man blow $500 in a night with no sex in these bars and these are often catered to the Korean or Japanese businessman who values the company of the girls rather than the sex itself. Many of the girls here will be the most beautiful ones. One thing to note is that the girls are not allowed to just order drinks, you must specifically agree to the drinks so as long as you don't allow them to, they won't run up the bill. Of course this also means the girls will look for other customers rather than spend time with you.

KTV: Very similar to bars but with a Karaoke aspect. You still need to watch out about running up the bill. There is a higher probability of sex in these places then the bars but from what I have seen the prices are rather high and you are much better off going to Linh Cherry unless you really want to sing, dance and party with the girls.

Clubs: I went to one club (Lush) with working girls and it was smoke filled and cramped. I really didn't like it so I decided not to stick around. This is another potential option if you want girls to come to your apartment.

Hot-tocs: Way cheaper version of massage places with more basic service and often dirty. Not my preference unless you want something really cheap.

Overall: Vietnam's biggest advantage over other countries is that it is cheap. Gaito has some of the best price to girl looks ratios I have found in the world. The service of gaito girls is typically mediocre and it is a suck and fuck affair. The massages are good value if you are happy with a blow job. But I love the white skin on Vietnamese girls.

Hi, I am traveling HCMC 7th, 8th,9th of October. I looking ST / LT OR MASSAGE WITH FS. PLEASE ANY ONE SHARE DETAILS TO GET. PLEASE SEND DETAILS TO PM. I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR YOUR HELP.

[Free Dude]

Yes, that is a good overview. I was here for a few days earlier this month. As a monger destination, I was not impressed. I didn't go for the gaito stuff, because of the hassle (maybe if I'd been there for more than a few days).

Did a few massages and was not impressed; even the one with FS in Linh Cherry. I was on my way to Pattaya afterwards. Means better things were on the horizon, so no orgasm for me in Vietnam.

While everything said about the Pasteur bars is true, I went there to spend my last million dong on my last night and had a better time than in the massages. Drinks are overpriced, but my cute 19 year old was very hands on. Spent most of the time DFK, playing with ass and titties (pussy only with underpants in between, while she was rubbing my dick through my shorts (pretty well actually). If you are in Saigon long term, I'd be surprised more wouldn't be possible eventually.

Great post. Recommend moving this to the ROD especially for those who need to read the back pages before asking any questions and any past history of reports.

[Anaggie]

Thanks for the report below. I have a trip planned next year and will be going with some friends are who aren't into mongering so this really helps.

A question. How much money should I change at the airport for the first day? Is changing money easy around town?

I was hoping to sneak away to Linh Cherry maybe once or twice a day to get my mongering in. It is an approx 10 min walk from my hotel so I am sure I could do this while they are resting at the hotel or in the evenings after they go to sleep. Maybe even convince one of the girls to maybe come back to the hotel for more fun if possible.

[Mlang]

I'll be travelling to Ho Chi Minh soon, then Malaysia and Philippines. This is my first time in HCMC, I know the drill in other places like Thailand, but I've read that it is significantly more difficult to get some action in Saigon. I want more than just a BJ, so Hot Tocs won't work for me, I'm looking for full service. What are the options for ST / LT FS in HCMC?

From what I've gathered on this forum and other places, the options for FS would be the following. If any members with experience in HCMC care to share. Which of the following would you recommend for ST FS?

- Freelancers offering ST / LT in different locations, like Bui Vien, Hoa Binh park, Pasteur street, or picking them up at clubs like Apocalypse, Lush, etc.

- Massage parlors, even if most of them offer BJs only, I've read around here that some do offer FS for about 2 M. I've heard Little Japan has some massage parlors with very cute girls but seems to be more expensive.

- Online apps like Tinder, Bumble, Badoo, and so on. Anything country-specific for Vietnam, like ThaiFriendly for Thailand?

- KTV karaokes, but I've never experienced this, so not sure how it works. Also I'm not so much into singing with the girls, I just want to bring them back to my room or f*ck them on-site.

- Escort agencies.

- Sideline, or Telegram groups, worked great for me in Bangkok. There are these groups where freelancers (or their agents) post some sort of ads with their services and photos. I had some of my best experiences in Thailand using these Telegram groups, is there anything similar in Vietnam?

[Zagal]

I'm a senior member in the USA guide page (Chicago) and had to create another account here, anyways, traveling to Ho Chi Minh in November and wondering if there is a "rent a girlfriend" type service with a Viet native who can basically be a tour guide that I can bring back to my room after a day of seeing attractions. English speaking would be preferred but I can use Google translate if needed of coarse.

[JohnGreenChe]

Hey all,

Planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh in Nov, please help to share the right pointers to get fun.

Looking for short or long time during the stay.

Thanks.
