Ho Chi Minh City - Massage Parlors

[DonJuanVn]

Hello,

I live in VN since 20 years, I have some experience with the local scenes in saigon and I'm always surprised regarding the prices accepted by my fellow expats or tourists.

For information, in Saigon:

1/ a blowjob bar real price is 250 K (ticket) + 100 K for the girl (tip). For this price you have BJ + often CIM. The girl is often naked too.

It's the famous false haircut places, called HTGD. There are all around the city.

2/ In some massage places like Zeus (and others) you can have nuru + BJ + sometimes CIM. 500 K for the girl is a normal price if the place is high end.

3/ In massage places, a simple HJ (the famous happy ending) should never be paid higher than 250 K tip (exception for high end spa). Some locals & expats prefer to apply the 50% rule. Means you give to the girl the equivalent of 50% of the ticket. If the spa massage ticket is 500 K, you give 250 K to the girl for the happy ending. For 1 M, you give 500 K, etc.

4/ If you want FS, the normal price for the girl is 500 K / 1 H. Max of the max: 1 million. (hostel / place not included).

If you pay higher, it's just a scam and they abuse your naivety.

Saying yes for a FS at a massage place for 1.5 or 2 millions is just disrupting the market in a wrong way.

From 1 M, you can go on kynu and find the hottest saigon hooker ever, matching all your requirements.

The average price on Kynu is 400 K for FS.

I don't speak of people paying that for just a BJ! It's just insane.

The best way to avoid scam is to avoid Bui Vien and D1.

Outside the touristic areas, you have ton of places where a foreigner customer is something very unusual. You will find HTGD where you are welcomed like a king, with the girls jumping on your knees and begging you to choose them. Some of them will even love to offer you GFE for free (hugging during a long time, kissing, chatting, etc) and some will ask for your number to meet you outside and try to become your girlfriend. There are sometimes real jewels in this kind of place.

It's totally different from the vibe you can get in D1 places where you are just "Westerner number 2084932". Expats & locals avoid this kind of places.

In a nutshell: avoid bui vien and don't pay too much! A girl will not be a better shoot because you pay her higher, it's not how vietnamese girls think. At the opposite, don't bargain too much, it will ruin her mood.

Enjoy!

Passed Kiwi Spa yesterday at approx 21.30. Two good-looking and flirty girls advertised their massage. 200 k for a private room. I accepted and the youngest followed me upstairs. She spoke not so much English but enough. I think she was around 25 yo. She wore a very very short miniskirt. She asked if I wanted to shower before and I said yes.

The massage was below average but I did not mind because it had other benefits. She sat on my back, my legs and my bum and it felt almost as she was naked. She also happened to strike my private parts accidentally. And later on not so accidentally. She teased me very efficiently.

A while after I had turned around she offered me a handjob which I accepted. When she had begun she apparantly changed her mind because she now offered me boom-boom. She wanted 2 million for that. I told her that I only had 1. 5 million which she accepted.

She lay down on the bed, put on the condom on me and we started missionary. Later we switched to her on top. It was a quite good GFE and she seemed to enjoy it.

The alley goes between Bui Vien and Pham Ngu Lao. It start at 104 Bui Vien. If you come from the Bui Vien and De Tham crossing and go west you can look for the 94 hotel and 96 hotel signs and after that you will find the alley to the right. If you are at Pham Ngu Lao and go west the alley is shortly after Elios hotel (to the left). Kiwi spa is halfway through the alley, to the right if you come from Bui Vien.

I am generally not a big fan of massage places but since the freelance and bar pick up scene sucked in HCMC I decided to visit some massage places to get laid.

There are some nice looking girls in the massage places in Little Tokyo area. Best ones I saw were at Cherry Spa and Rilakkuma spa. Full service places. Some naturally busty babes as well amongst the silicon barbies who dominate the scene. Price was 500 k Dong for the room and 2000 k Dong tip for the girl for full service. Massage + fuck.

I also tried Spa Vien Dong. There you cannot select the girl bust most looked OK that I saw wandering along the corridors. Hand job only. Girls will not take their clothes off. But a good massage though.

Thank you. Asian Lover Oz. For the massage parlor recommendation of Zeus on 359 Pham Ngu Lau, District 1.

I just returned from there, it is a Saturday afternoon, and let me add the opening hours are from about 1:00 pm until 1:00 am.

The place was still closed when I arrived at 12:45 pm. I waited next door in the air-conditioned backpacker place. After Zeus opened, no one was downstairs, so I went upstairs, where 2 girls, behind the bar counter, with the iPad, served me bottled water, and told me "5 minutes", very little English, but friendly.

One young Vietnamese guy was already in the room, then other locals come in, and suddenly we were about 8 guys, waiting on the chairs, getting cold bottled water, some were smoking, some where watching TV.

One of the girls from the counter called me over, showed me the iPad / tablet and I pointed to the 500 K. I was told to wait again, then she called me after about 10 minutes again, and showed me on the iPad / tablet a choice of 2 girls. One was 45 kg, and the other 55 kg, and had slightly bigger boobs, that was the one I selected. I paid 500 K for the room and 500 K for the girl, just like Asian Lover Oz described, no up sale, no haggling.

After another 5 minutes, I was asked to follow a skinny guy upstairs, who let me into a room and on my way upstairs, I saw the chubby friendly guy come in and go behind the bar counter.

The girl, that I had selected waited in the room and had almost no English. She pointed to take my clothes off, and offered the sauna inside the room. I politely declined, then was asked to go into the corner tub instead, where she started to wash me at all the right places.

Then she pointed for me to lay on my belly on the table, where the massage began, back massage was good, legs, arms, and then she asked for the hot stones, and a person brought in a basked with hot stones.

Her massage lube job on my back and front with her firm breast was outstanding. She then pointed to the edge of the massage table, where she started with a good BBBJ, and I finished, but not CIM.

Back into the corner tub, I was washed again, cleaned and toweled off. After I got dressed, I tipped her 100,000, because she was friendly, but she gave the tip with a note, to the chubby guy. He asked me, if I liked the service, I said yes, nice clean place, friendly girl, and I will be back.

Outside it didn't take 3 minutes to hail a licensed taxi, which took me back to my nearby hotel.

Thanks for the good recommendation, this is a hassle free, clean, friendly place, not much English, but the main points will be pointed out to you, and you will just lay there, relax and enjoy, without the chatting and worrying what will or will not happen next.

I am staying off LE Thi Rieng in D1 near the intersection with Bui Thi Xuan. As I was walking to get some " che" Vietnamese dessert, I was approached by a couple of guys sitting in front of the Triip LE Han Dai Nam Hotel. This hotel is located on 142 Bui Thi Xuan and is NOT the same as the Dai Nam hotel off Yersin. The guys asked me if I wanted a massage with starting ticket price of 200,000 VND. I told them I was on my way to get some "che" and I maybe would try it on the way back. So as I was eating my dessert, I tried to to Google any intel and info about the place, but nothing came up. I was a little wary and nervous. But I was like "what the heck, I could use a decent massage" and I might as well take the plunge. If the massage was worth the money and offered extras, I would be the entrepreneur and write the first review. And here I am. So when I went back to the hotel, I was guided to the 7th floor by elevator. The reception area was very small and the receptionist showed me a menu consisting of a 200,000 foot massage, 980 K VIP, and a 1.5 M Super VIP. I was like WTF? This shit was expensive! I almost bailed out, but asked why the rooms were more than the other hotels? The receptionist told me this included the tip for the girl for VIP and the 2 girls for Super VIP. I was like "okay, that sounds better. " I went ahead and paid the 980 K for the 1 girl VIP massage. I was escorted to the room by a guy which I tipped 20 K for helping me select a girl. I wanted someone younger than 25 and not fat. After he left, I became a little worried. I already paid including the tip, but what if there were no extras? I started having doubts.

A few minutes later, girl #21, Thi, walked in. Looks wise she had shoulder length hair, decent weight, and spoke decent English. I asked her, why the price so expensive for a massage and she kind of shrugged. She said if she massaged good, I can tip her more afterwards. Apparently she didn't understand, my question. And her response made me more worried that I just paid a 1 M for a very expensive lame massage. So the following happened. Sauna, followed by bath which she washed my privates well, followed by a decent oil massage. The decent massage part scared me. Usually a good oil massage is not part of a place that provides extras. On the flip I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best. Suddenly I felt tongue on my nipples. When I opened my eyes, Thi was naked from the top. Her breasts were everywhere. She kissed and licked over my body and even lapped some ass as well. Now, I know why she cleaned there as well. She started to give me a sloppy BBBJ no stop no quit with lots of spit. She also climbed on top of me and exposed her pussy for some fingering and grinding while giving me a HJ for a few minutes. Then she returned back to using her mouth when I asked her to. About 10 minutes later I spewed all in her mouth and she spat in a towel. Finally, Monkeypaw was relieved. There was a happy ending after all. So long story short. The 980 K at Triip LE Han Dai Nam is all inclusive. In case anybody else wants to grab her, Thi #21 works 12 pm-12 midnight. BTW she is very fond of Thailand and has never been in case anybody wants to take her for a mini vacation. That's all she talked about.

Monkeypaw 2 paws up for the massage at Triip!

Does anyone has experience on Jojo spa at Bui Vien backpacker street, little street beside "lost in Saigon".

Which girl do you know?

[Asian Lover Oz]

Back in Saigon and did quite a bit of research before this trip and tried to uncover some new places. This time, with the help of google translate and some Vietnamese forums, I noticed a new place called Zeus on Pham Ngu Lau.

It seems there is a chain of these under the "MassageZ" branding, mostly in areas where tourists wouldn't normally venture, but this new one has just opened right in heart of backpacker hell (number 359 Pham Ngu Lau. At the Western end).

The target is for Viet locals but they had no problems welcoming me in and the chubby manager guy is super friendly but with little English.

Ok, so here's the deal. There are 3 ticket prices, 500 K (90 minutes), 750 K and 900 K. I only ever tried the 500 K one, so I can't say what the differences are apart from the timing. They then add the girl tip of $500 K, so you just pay the straight up $1 M at reception without having to worry about extra tips for the girls.

Now after you go upstairs to the waiting room they will serve your fruit and water and sit in the lounge area and watch HBO on the big screen while waiting for the girls.

Then they call you over to an ipad to show you the girls that are available along with their vital stats like weight and height (no age listed). I only ever got a selection of 5 girls and each time it is really hard to choose for a fussy bugger like me as I prefer to see the girls in person.

Anyhow, the 3 I tried there were 20,23 and and around 29 yo.

Ok, so what happens in the room.

Each room is decked out in fancy LED lighting with table, shower, bath, steam and sauna. I skipped the steam and sauna as I find I struggle to perform after that usually.

The girls all wear a sexy air hostess type uniform with short skirt and with boobs popping out.

1) Into the shower / bath for a bit of a body scrub / shampoo.

2) Onto massage table for a hard back massage.

3) Then some hot rocks on you back and more massage.

4) Then, this is where the fun starts. They take off their tops and rub lotion all over your back and legs and use their breasts to massage you. All 3 girls I tried had the same technquies.

5) Turn over, frontal boob massage.

6) Hello, is that a BBBJ.

7) Ooops, CIM (for 2 of them anyway).

8) Another shower / cleanup.

9) Thanks darling.

10) Back to TV room to chill out if you like.

1 M for 90 minutes, incl BBBJ (and potential CIM). I didn't even bother going to NPK this time as it's so easy to walk here, pampered like a king, clean towels, showers, no issues with taxi's etc.

The only thing is the selection via photo instead of in person that's a bit of a hit and miss, but the services are pretty identical from all the girls.

[LetThemEatSake]

Hahahahaha! Me too!

So, who's the enthusiast who had 2 girls for 8 hours for a takeaway?

I'm impressed and looking forward to the field report!

Thanks for your tips! Couple of more questions. How long are these massage places in districts 7 and 10 usually open at night? They're hard to find online. And is it safe to travel from these districts to the tourist area after say ten or eleven pm by taxi?

Both D7 and D10 are relatively safe if you stay with reputable Taxi company such as VinaSun or Mai-Linh, also safe with Grab or Uber (cars at night, moto is OK during day time). If you must go by motobike at night beware of purse snatchers and pickpockets. Violent crimes are rare but petty crimes are very common, especially at night.

Cheers,

Haven't been around the mongering scene much these days. Years ago I used to go Thailand and the Philippines. This is my first time in Vietnam. Definitely not as easy here. So I did go to hai yen today from recommendations on the forum. Just thought I'd share my experience.

Walked in and the papasan led me straight upstairs. Told me 1300 k for boom boom. I figure they just going to send some random girl up, but I asked to choose. So we go back down and I pick a little petite thing that smiled at me. Most of the girls didn't even bother looking up. I thought she was best one anyway. Her name was Thi I think, 22 yrs old. Unfortunately she did not speak much English.

So after the shower, I laid down and asked how much I give her for boom boom? I said 1 mil because that's what I read on here and that's what the papasan said since it should have been 300 k for the room. She did not seem to understand. After a few minutes of trying to explain, she just got to it..

Well. Price: 1300 K.

Room: 300 K.

Girl: 1000 K.

The girl give to Mamasan 200 K. Why? It is not only you paid for the room. She paid for the room too (that 200 K).

So. That's why she took 500 K gave to Mamasan. And the Boss use that 500 K to pay for: electric, water, rent house. That house with 3 story, at least 2000 USD / month. The Boss get 300 K not enough for them. That how they run a business.

[Jayf1970]

Sorry bros. Don't want to hog the bandwidth so hopefully last question or two on Vien dong. Has anyone tried two girls there? I only want HJ but two bodies to play with sounds tempting. Also is the vip room really worth it? I’m not into jacuzzis at all. What is the best time to go and is there a bad time to go? Last how much would yu tip if you had two girls? Thanks a lot guys. Will post any unique experiences.

J.

[Chacal60]

Kittygod. Thanks for a great report. My tastes are similar in that I like a good slow massage with a lot of attention to the right areas, pampering, lot of hand roaming on my part and a good HJ to finish off. I'm looking forward to this on my first visit to HCMC. I've travelled extensiv Lu in Asia but very little in Vietnam. Can you recommend any other similar places? Can you confirm Minh Tam address as 206 Đ432;7901;ng 3 Thng 2, Quậand 10, Hồ Ch Minh, Vietnam? You had some 3/2 address and I'm wondering it's the same one and if I showed it to a taxi driver if he's know it. Any recommendations for girls? I prefer high massage skills and full figured girls. Any other tips from fellow mongers for a Vietnam newbie would be much appreciated!

WC led me to multiple contacts, including pro, semi-pro and potential GF amateurs. HCMC is a gold mine.

[Jayf1970]

I've been going to Minh Tam for a few times and I really like it. I had an experience with many massage shop such as: Dai Nam, Vien Dong, Minh Minh Tam, Hanh Long, Boss, Phung Thuy. But Minh Tam is the best now in Sai Gon.

It very new, large, luxury and homey. Minh Tam is better than Vien Dong & Dai Nam.

At Minh Tamyou can try a lot of service: massage, foot, beauty salon.

Massage: tick: 300, tip 400-500.

VIP: tick 750, tip 700-1000 It gets expensive, but I like to relax after work. The beauty girls wash off your sweat, massage you, and then jerk you off. I like being pampered.

Recommend: # 09,11, 18,39 54,63.

I will recommend some best girl in Dai Nam. Vien Dong, Minh Minh Tam, DE NHAT and some BJ massage such as Boss, Hanh Long, Tan Thu Do, Phung THuy next post.
