Ho Chi Minh City - General Info

[SethMacfarlane]

Thanks for the info guys, as I'll be there during the lunar new year. Looks like I'll just be another youngish tourist with a dry dick in HCMC LOL do the MR, park FL, wechat FL, gaito, kyu.net, and tinder girls also shut down during this time too? If nothing else, I'll just have to go all on an online platform to feed my cravings.

You should be fine my friend. Last I was there in 2020 for tet, their were plenty of ladies available on bui vien and via the near me section of WhatsApp, line and zalo. Hell, even some of the ladies working at the carnivals for tet seemed friendly.

You can always get a quick flight to 'd a nang' if Saigon turns out to be a dud. I think the smaller towns won't be affected as much.

My understanding is a lot of workers return to their hometown and the city is very quiet. I've no experience of this just what I've been told. I don't know what will be open but I was also told not to be in HCMC for the CNY. I am in VN now.

From my experience of the last 21 years of having been there for Tet (Lunar New Year) nothing much will be open for at least 5 days from the 21st. After that, your Hot Tocs, Massage places open up, and also some of the bars. Banks will be closed for about 10 days, as well as grocery stores and lots of other businesses. Good luck, wish I could be there with you!

Very Nice info, I am planning visit in near future.

Pasting my experience in Vietnam here from SMF:

I took a month long trip to Vietnam. I'm a digital nomad, so came here on a tourist visa on 14th October. And went back on 12th November. I was working all the time except 21st - 30th October during which I had taken holidays.

Had been reading across the forums and got a lot of help from here. I thank you guys for that. So here's my contribution:

Objective: I came to Vietnam to chill and fuck.

Below are the details about me:

Ethnicity: Indian.

Age: 27.

Height: 5'5.

Weight: 65 KG.

I'm athletic and have 4 pack abs. I'm adding these because according to me this matters if you want to date women.

Basic info:

Racism: None. I've worked in Seattle and Austin. So am no stranger to Racism. And have very little fucks to give for that. Vietnamese people are lovely, friendly and have no pre conceived notion regarding Indians. I loved that. I'm respectful towards everybody so I appreciated when that was reciprocated back.

General Vibe: It's been awesome. From hostels, to airbnb to hotels I've experienced all and loved all. From smoking up with dutch dudes in Mui Ve to drinking with Kazak's till morning, to partying Bui Vien till afternoon from previous night, to getting in an accident on grab bike while coming back from a love motel after meeting a gaito woman, I had the time of my life especially with all the banging.

Saigon (14th - 23rd):

Saigon is an amazing city for finding women. It's no match for Thailand's core places but it has it's own charm.

Place I lived: I took an Airbnb right in the street of little Japan. Great decision. Host basically left me to myself and I could do whatever I wanted.

Massage republic:

Called up one women from Massage Republic to my bnb. She was chubby. And not a looker. She was a normal north Vietnamese woman. Told me she is studying interior designing in a university. Is 23 years old. And does this as side hussle.

Once I got her turned on with foreplay and DATY she basically went from a shy girl to one who just wanted to fuck. It was amazing. We had agreed for 2 hours, 2 shots. But she came at 5 pm and we had passionate sessions till 11. Had 3 shots. And went to dinner after. She said she wanted to stay the night but couldn't as she lived with her mother's friend.

Damage: 1. 2 mln.

Called up another named Alissa. 4 m for two hours / 2 shots. She was more professional. She also was extremely passionate. Went intense for couple of hours. It was good experience. She was much more beautiful than previous one but I would still prefer the chubby one. Just cause of her attitude.

Gaito:

Had experience with 5 different Gaito women. General consensus on this forum is call women from 400 k to 800 k since their service is basically the same as the expensive ones. I don't agree with that in Saigon. In my experience the more expensive a women in Saigon, better her attitude, figure, face and fuck. But in general I loved Gaito. It was reliable, women were beautiful, some more even than hot Vietnamese women you see walking on the street, everybody gave kissing and BJ, were extremely hygienic and knew how to give a good time. I ended up calling only one women multiple times. It was cosplayer. She is expensive but worth every penny.

Highest Rate: 2. 5 mln for ST.

Lowest Rate: 600 k for ST.

Street Scooters:

If you are a foreigner walking around the streets of Saigon, random scooter drivers will ask you if you want boom boom. And I did try that out of curiosity. The scooter guy quoted 1. 5 mln with hotel room included. I negotiated it down to 1. 2 mln. Honestly, women wasn't that bad. Maybe like 600 k Gaito woman equivalent. Add about 150 k for a really nice hotel room and I did get ripped off but not really that badly. But stick to Gaito and skip these riders.

Massages:

I only tried Linh cherry. I tried it twice. And it was really nice both times. I read some post here that they did not receive an FS at Linh cherry. I'm not sure why that is. Since both times I was directly told at the reception itself that massage + FS is 2. 4 mln for an hour.

Tinder:

Total matches: above 100.

Total dates: 3.

Hookup: None.

Mui Ve (no action).

Nha Trang:

I met the best Gaito women here. I only tried Gaito in Nha Trang and since I was only there for a couple of days, only tried two women. Out of which second one was my best fuck of the whole trip till that time. She was normal (not extremely pretty but def an eye candy), had a see section scar but damn her moans, her attitude, her DFK and her passion drove me crazy. After the deed I asked her if she could stay for a couple of hours more. She agreed for the same price as she had agreed to come. (500 k + 500 k). I ended up spending 1 mln on the girl for 2-3 hours. It was cheap and goddamn amazing.

The nang:

I read a report from Logan that the nang was alive and kicking. In terms of action, I didn't find much. I met two women from Gaito and they aren't much to write about. Took a massage. And it was no match for Linh Cherry. Maybe I went to the wrong spots. Dating is easy in the Nang. I went on three dates on three consecutive days. One of which resulted in make out but no hook up. IMO, dating in Vietnam is fun but if you want to hook up with a local you need to stay put at a place for a minimum of two weeks to achieve that. And if you can speak local language, you can have some insane experiences.

Hoi An (no action): But I loved the colors and lanterns here. Definitely a place worth visiting.

Hanoi:

My original plan was to go visit Doi son, ha long bay and sapa with hanoi as base but I got so much action in hanoi and due to some work uncertainties (ethereum merge fucked up my Hanoi stay a bit LOL) I spent entire time staying in hanoi. I stayed at an Airbnb near the lake as suggested by Logan and it was an excellent location with great Wifi. Women loved coming to my place and the place was managed by a sweet grandma who basically let me do whatever I wanted.

Gaito:

Tried three women from Gaito. Was okay'ish. I still feel that Saigon is the best place for Gaito. Other places just don't have enough quality and quantity. FYI, I called up two women from Gaito to my place. Their rates were 600 k and 800 k and they took 2 mln to come to my place which IMO is a much better deal. Wish I had tried this in Saigon but that thought never occurred to me there. I had become much better at talking to Gaito women in Hanoi so was able to convince them of this. Basically from what I observed, their outcall rates are double their incall rates. But their service is better and they are much more relaxed. Plus, they start negotiating in hours rather than shots. So, for example, a Gaito women, more specifically this one: https://www.gaito.io/gai-goi/chi-tie...am-xinh-non-to, would charge 600 k for a shot but would take 2 mln to come to my place for an hour. And 3 mln for two hours. The advantage of outcall definitely is more GFE.

Massage Republic:

Tried Zelena from MR. Oh my God. She was extremely shy, but I had so much fun. She had style, made my dick hard when she wore glasses and it was so easy to make her cum. She isn't extremely young. But is classy. She was extremely tight and I'm not the biggest dude. Met with her thrice. It's always a challenge to your feelings at bay when you meet an escort with whom you really vibe. This one was hard to do.

Damage: 7. 2 mln for 4 hours.

She told me she only does this once every blue moon when she wants to buy something expensive. So she keeps pulling up and down her ad on MR. Right now she has pulled down her ad.

Tinder:

Normal women: Dated 2. But still no hook up. I suck at this man.

Freelancers: I actually didn't find many freelancers in hcmc. But in Hanoi I was able to find two (I actually found a lot but called up only two):

First one: Took 4 M for full night. Looks were nothing to boast about. But she was experienced. Gave full GFE and was fluent enough in english that I had fun even apart from fucking. I enjoyed it.

Second one: Took 5 M for 6 hours. Was okay'ish in looks but really playful and wanted to spend time outside of just fucking. Wanted to go to coffee and dinner dates as well.

The only problem I found with Tinder women was it was really hard to shake them off. They're clingy. Probably because through tinder they get much more than they're worth.

Cityoflove.

I had never tried cityoflove or eurogirlsescort. Since I always prefer massagerepublic and should've kept it that way.

So I decided to give these a shot. I didn't contact any women who were not of Vietnamese ethnicity since there's no point.

I didn't get much replies from eurogirls women but on cityoflove I got reply of Jane: Jane, Hanoi Escort (Independent), Viet Nam.

Worst experience in Vietnam.

So I called her up. Deal was of 5 mln for two shots. She never mentioned there was time restriction even after explicitly asking multiple times. First shot went well. She was nice. But after one she started packing up saying time is up. This women ended up costing me 5 mln and she wasn't even worth 1 mln. This pissed me off to no end. I just let her go. This was the first time I got really angry at a Vietnamese women or angry in Vietnam in general. At least a good night's sleep fixed that.

My advice: no point in trying cityoflove. Problem is that there's no review section. If you want to go to a more expensive side might as well try massagerepublic.

Fortuna:

Awesome fucking place. This is why forums exist. I went here based on criminlaz's suggestion. Wasn't really optimistic since to me it seemed expensive and would only be worth if the women were really hot. This place questioned my decision of not trying ktvs. Such an awesome place. I loved it. Not only are the women extremely hot but also the experience makes you feel like a king. It's sure shot place to have overloaded fun. If it is an unforgettable night you're after you can also try taking two women after taking to mamasan. I went on a slow day I guess. So why were pleading for their case and mamasan pushing for threesome. I'm moron. I should've tried this place earlier.

This completes my review. I know there aren't many contact infos but this review was meant to be meta, giving people who want to explore this gem of a country a guide on what are the options I tried and my opinion on them. Vietnam isn't Thailand. But there's no point in having two Thailand's. Vietnam is its own heaven. It's own unique charm. And goddamn amazing women. And for people willing to explore, it gives amazing rewards.

I'll be there during the weekend of lunar new year and beyond. Can anyone tell me if everything shuts down or will they have a minimal staff? Will the bars, clubs, hot tocs, freelancers still be in abundance?

My understanding is a lot of workers return to their hometown and the city is very quiet. I've no experience of this just what I've been told. I don't know what will be open but I was also told not to be in HCMC for the CNY. I am in VN now.

[Ulalaulala123]

Bro seems like you visited Linh Cherry a lot. Did you get FS on all the visits or it can be a hit and miss?

Days 1.

Hit up Linh Cherry, ended up getting a beautiful girl that looked kind of Korean. Damage was 2. 5 million, but considering the service, it wasn't that bad.

Day 4.

Hit up Linh Cherry again after walking around the Japanese area in the morning. Linh Cherry is the earliest place to open ( 10.30 am).

Day 5.

Tried one of the WeChat girls. It would seem that this is pretty hit or miss. Service was lackluster, no BJ. Damage was 1. 2 million.

Day 6.

Hit up the Phi Nguyen street. The service here is BBBJ only but it is dirt cheap. Damage 400 k.

Day 7 - 9.

Went to Linh Cherry a few more times.

Next time I visit, I'll try the other massage shops in the Japanese area and also try my luck a bit around Bui Vien.

Next day. I was all set to meet the girl I met.

Very bad traffic.

Anyway reached to fortune hotel.

I saw a complete different set-up. No mamasan etc.

I came out and checked the name, it's matching.

I was sure it's not that place I visited last late night.

Anyway l, went ahead. The guys was pushing now.

He explained and deal was done for 700 k + 700 k.

He took me the room. There I relaxed and searched Google about my last visit. Seems there are 2 fortunes. One is fortune 7000 (near Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopedics) and another is where I reached. Both are nearby. Anyway lost mood as I wanted to meet the girl I met previous day.

But here room was beautiful.

Lady came, she was good, having better boobs.

She made me comfortable, not open for DFK / FS. But she did good job in BBBJ.

I had some other plan in evening and missed to meet the girl in other fortune.

[Taehyun]

Following the suggestion to try out Saigon star hotel massage.

Took grab bike to reach. Taken to 9 or 11 floor. Lady explained me price.

I remember 3 m package. I asked about boom boom, she said NO. She asked if I had visited here, I said yes. Still no positive response.

Not sure if I should have gone ahead but said bye and came down.

Somebody mentioned here Fortune hotel. While taking grab, saw the hotel and asked driver to stop there. Anyway went inside. Took to 5 floor.

Mamasan was nice in speaking English. Deal was for 700 k + 700 k.

Girl was young, beautiful.

Lot of passionate DFK. No FS. Finished in BBBJ.

She asked me to visit next day for more fun which I was already planning.

Gaito is a call girl website in VN, formerly known as Kynu. As a website, one can browse and book using either a computer (laptop) or a smartphone with VN internet access.

Does this mean I can't use a VPN to contact them before physically landing in VN?

If I get their numbers what app will it be for Whatsapp? Or their local app?

Many thanks.

I think these girls operate on same day appts and not booking days in advance, so I don't contact them before getting to VN. Regarding how to contact them once you have their phone number. Read my prior post. You don't need any app. Use your phone, loaded with a local SIM card, and call or text their phone number. That's it, not any more complicated than that.

[MarquisdeSade1]

Gaito is a call girl website in VN, formerly known as Kynu. As a website, one can browse and book using either a computer (laptop) or a smartphone with VN internet access. I always unlock my phone before going to VN each time and then buy and use a local SIM card upon arrival to avoid international / roaming charges by my country service provider. Suggest you do the same. Gaito's website is gaito. Tv / gai-goi preceded by www. Upon landing on the home page, google asks if you want the page to be translated to English. Click yes.

Once you get a response from a gaito girl, you'll need to decide whether to communicate further (by text) in English or use Google translation for Vietnamese. Be aware that many gaito girls can't read English, so you likely won't get as many responses as texts in Vietnamese. So it helps greatly if you speak / write Vietnamese, but not a show stopper if you don't. Gaito primarily caters to local men, but there are non-Vietnamese speaking mongers who have successfully played with gaito girls.

They likely will ask you to book a room at a specific 2-3 star hotel for 1 hour for the deed, then text them the room number. You can try to persuade the girl to come to your 5-star hotel, but chances are she won't be allowed to go up to your room alone, depending on your hotel policy. You may need to meet her in the lobby, then escort her to your room. I've never tried this route, but I read that some have done this successfully. It depends on your hotel policy and the girl's willingness to come to your hotel instead of you coming to her usual playground.

However things turn out for you, share your experience on this forum afterward so others can benefit. Good luck.

Bars, not massage joints. If I wanted sex with a massage girl I would just do it at the shop. I only concentrated on bringing home bar girls since it was much more challenging and you can't have sex with them in the Little Japan bars.

That's exactly what I would like to do to. Were you able to get them to leave during their shift or only when the bar closes? Or do you get there Line / WhatsApp and arrange outside.

Thank you for your suggestion. I made a booking for February at JB Central Apartment which is inside Little Japan, I think on the same street as Cherry Linh. After I made the booking for 2 I contacted the manager through what's app and asked about visits / stays by a lady friend. He replied, "Your lady friend can visit you as long as the number of guests staying overnight is 2."

Thank you for your help. From reading this forum, I am also getting a feeling that its smart to go into the side alleys to some of the smaller bars to find interesting girls.

[Banana Boi]

Are you referring to girls at massage places or hostess bars. From my review of this forum and others I had the impression that the hostess bars werent worth the trouble for a short term visitor, And I haven't been able to determine if Cherry Linh girls can leave the premises. Your insight would be great to hear.
