Difference between Ho ChI Minh and Nha Trang
There are really only 2 difference. The girls in Nha Trang seem much more like the girl next door. They are friendly and sweet. Next would be the price. I'm Ho ChI Minh they asked for 1 to 3 million. In Nha Trang they asked for 500 k to 1 million. I think the girls are prettier in Nha Trang.
If you need help a motorcycle guide will help for 30 to 50 dong. Also don't hesitate to go to a spa. Even if it looks closed knock on the door you will probably get a response. A lot of the little ugly looking hotels will be happy to assist you. Accidentally walked into Han Dang guest house at 11/7 C Nguyen Thein Thuat and I was blown away by what they offered. Nha Trang is better than Ho ChI Minh if you have the time and it has a beach.
Ho Chi Minh City Minor Report
Hi Neworlean,
I totally agree, more useful reports and less chatter. BTW, thanks for the information below.
I had the unfortunate experience of missing my flight and with my girlfriend flying the previous day. I had to scurry back to HCM (near Benh Thanh market) for a hotel to stay and found one. This happened 3 weeks ago.
First, the hotel maintenance guy asked me if I wanted a girl for straight massage for 400,000 Dong. I wanted to tell him that my girlfriend and I paid 100,000 plus 60,000 (for each of us) for straight massage, in one of the open market streets of Benh Thanh market (you won't miss it as they have touts outside the parlor soliciting prospective clients). I'm also sure I could get more "service" if my girlfriend wasn't with me.
Second, I went for a walk since it was on a Saturday night along Phạm Hồng TháI, when an older man, slouching on his motorbike, asked me if I wanted a girl. "Mr. Vu or Du" offered to take me to various places where the girls are, for straight sex. I climbed on his bike and he took me to an apartment building, near another market, about 5 minutes away from the Notre Dame cathedral.
The ladies were between rated 3-5 and I was ready to leave when a girl came out (about 7-8). I asked for her and the charge was 520,000 which I "negotiated" (unless it's their bargaining tactic) down to 500,000. I was expecting sex but it turned out a BJ. So, I asked for full service which was turned down.
The BJ was great and I was able to hold it off several times, and it pissed the girl (it wasn't even more than half an hour yet!) went out, slamming the door, came back in with some kind of lotion and you can tell she was pissed. Finally, I was ready and had the happy ending when I want it (and not on their hurried timetable).
Of course, she asked for her tip which was 60,000 dong.
I went down to pay the madame and pretended to move outside the building, turned my head back and saw her hand something (it has to be cash) to the old man. Nothing wrong with that but for some reason the old man acted out like whatever he was holding, "slipped off" his hand. It was hilarious, like I didn't see and know what was handed to him. I think he planned to squeeze me for a tip, hadn't I not seen the handout.
Anyway, I was still pissed at the old man, cause he promised sex and I wasn't looking for HJ or BJs (and I wouldn't mind paying the right and higher price). I told him about it and you get the normal denial / stupidity comment / look. I didn't said it in a confrontational or threatening manner as I am only a guest in their city / country. You want to avoid any verbal and physical entanglement with any locals in any country, as much as possible.
We got back to Phạm Hồng TháI and sure enough he still wanted to hook up with me (gave his phone number) the next day and of course, his tip. I told him, I'll see him tomorrow and started walking back to my hotel. I noticed he was following me and he then came over to ask me where my hotel was and other info. I told him that I will contact him tomorrow and gave him $2.00 to get lost.
There's never a shortage of touts or pimps asking if you wanted to have a good time, as most of you already know. The lesson I learned here is, I have to make it clear to the pimp (and madame) what I clearly wanted and so I won't get overcharged.
The map link below is where I found this old man (it's the cross street between the Burger King at Pham Hong Thai and towards LE Lai) if you want to contact or in my case, avoid him:

[QUOTE=Neworlean;2016454]Let me begin by saying that I am not expert. I wish we had more usefully reports and less chatter. Finding girls.
Quick / Daytime.
WeChat. It is a great place to find someone quickly. All of the girls asked for the same price 1 million for ST and 2 million for LT. The problem is most of the girls look nothing like the picks and you will waste a lot of time trying to find something you like. You might get lucky. All the girls basically arrived in 30 minutes. Most of the wechat people are actually mangers and will send numerous picture. You will not find any really pretty girls. Most girls were subar. Wechat is also a great way to meet non working girls.
Street Action / Bar Area.
Guys approaced me and offered a girl and room for 900,000. They will bring multiple girls all subar. You will also see a few girls walking around. No stunners..[/QUOTE]
WeChat and High End Hotels
Lots of talk on the board about AirBNB. I've always stayed 5 star with a restaurant and managed to meet the girl at the restaurant and scurry her up to my room. I've also just did it official and had the girl check in at the front desk, they call to verify they are sending her up, and then she appears at the door (maybe by herself and maybe with the bellman there). Never had a word said to me (Yet. Definitely not preferable).
WeChat is where they all hang out and whoever said it's run by managers or mammsans is right. They recycle shitty pics and you never get the same girl. It's varying service levels, I usually make sure I ask them if what I want is okay and then it usually is. Girls have been mostly attractive though, if a little mechanical. A couple I actually clicked with and got their personal digits and just hit them up directly now.
Best massage place I've been is Vien Dong Hotel. A little pricey but high end, good security and professional staff. Nothing more than a happy ending though.
Anyone got digits / pics happy to share.
