The thing is there is a learning curve.
Things are way easier or straight forward in INDO.

Anybody paying more than 1 M for FS is indeed stupid. You can find plenty of girls yourself on a famous website for 500 k /700 k.
RTFF again dude.

Also think the price quoted is quite high that's why we are asking. Been seeing posts recently with people paying up to 3 m for short time and been told that high influx of tourists has been driving up the prices. Don't want to be the chump that pays US prices for it there but also don't want to be a cheap ass, the girls are all making a living and shouldn't be short changed.
Based on what I read here, the going rates (YMMV) are 1-2 m short FS and higher in the little Japan area (2-3 m), HH / BJ 400-600 k. Some places specializes in foreign tourists (Chinese, English.) and would expect to pay a slight premium.
(Its been a few hours and did see the reply so excuse if its a dupe).

1. Simply go to a site like www.xe.com and input those numbers to see if they make any sense. Example of short time at a high price of 5 m VND = $200 USD. Are you mental?
2. You could read this website for 3 hours or less if you use the search function and answer your own question. But you said you did that. So you can read but you have no comprehension abilities?

Posts: 25Hello fellow mongers.
I'm normally on the USA side but lucky me get to go on a guy trip in Asia and we are hitting Vietnam for a few days. Read the various HCMC threads and was able to get plenty of information on everything we need. We are planning on using a special travel agency that specializes in these types of trips They quoted as the expected market rate and would like to see if it is what it is or way inflated. One shot FS 2. 6-5 m, Overnight 5. 5-7. 0 m. We do have one guy going that has been so can wing it if we need to. Just trying to figure out if the agency is worth it or not. Main thing they are doing for us is the hotel and taking us to the various nighttime establishments. TIA.

I'm a long time lurker. I'm visiting Vietnam. Haven't been back in over 20 years. I wanted to see if there is any girls in District 5. I do know Vietnamese.

On the way back I asked the Grab guy to drop me at the bar street. Maybe you are right. He dropped me at the wrong street. Maybe it is for locals only.
Last two days were spent taking tours. No energy to hunt.
Too bad I could have used the help from you.
My original plan was to bring the Thai girl for this vacation. Although she promised 6 months ago she will could not get in touch with her. Maybe she found a better boyfriend LOL. My other option was for the Cambodian girl to do the trip. Although she was friendly and wanted to come I was waiting for Thai girl. Oh well. Live and learn.
Next stop tomorrow is Kaulalampur.

Posts: 3282First trip to Ho Chi Minh City
Although have been to Hanoi with my Thai GF at that time stayed for a week, this time wanted to visit Ho Chi Minh City.
Landed in the morning and having read taxi scams and exchange counter scams was wary. Fellow long time traveler at immigration helped me. Changed $100 at decent rate. 24500 Dong for a dollar. Seems fair. Long line at immigration and it too better part of an hour. Seems like everyone is headed here. Once outside my friend advised me to get into only green Vinasun taxi. There was a lady in green jacked helped me. Guy put on the meter. Grab is not allowed to pick up from airport. Traffic is horrendous. Anyway reached my hotel and the cost was 47000 but I gave the driver 50000. Staying at Sotestu Grand Fresa. Excellent small hotel. Pretty new and fantastic room with breakfast. Best rates on Agoda. Since I booked for two check in guy said if I wanted to bring a girl it should be done before 9 pm. They do not allow any girls after that. Nice guy.
Was jet lagged and took a shower and slept.
Got up at 6 pm could not get a grab to go to seafood street in district 4. Hopped on a grab moto but he took me to a wrong place. However had a nice long walk along the river and I needed it. Had excellent cheap spicy seafood at the seafood street. Just sit at the busy places there so that you know which are popular. Plenty of tourists. Did not see any young girls walking the street.
At last grab us available. He too me to the bar street. Plenty of girls outside but no street walkers. I was hoping to get one and take to the hotel. No such luck. Went to 4 bars and cheap beer. None of the girls look pretty. Hardly anyone spoke English. Mamasan with broken English asked me to pick one but I did not. After beer I left. Do not know what the set up was. Did not venture into Japanese high end establishments. My take is unless you know someone or have serious money to burn and navigate all the scams this is not a place to have fun for visitors.
I might just stick to touristy things. Things seem very cheap here. Lots of expats living here.

Posts: 3Following on.
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.
