maybe some people don't understand the newer generation of VietKieus. They were borned overseas and grew up overseas. There are even lots of them who cannot speak Vietnamese. They only know that they are of Vietnamese origin and have relatives in Vietnam. Some may not have step onto Vietnamese soil since birth. So when they step into Vietnam the first time, they are just like any one of us when we first arrived in Vietnam

It's similar with most Singapore Chinese. Born here and know they are Chinese and their ancestors are from China and some of them know nut about China or for that matter anything about Chinese.

Those viet who return from the US for holidays, business or work, they are esp. in high demand by the local gals.. and there are quite a number stationed in hcm as well.. live like king .

the more i visit and see the viet gals, i think they are similiar to the thais.. prob wrong... and i observe and hear comments that thai and viet gals don't really like to work but hang around in the cafes, club at night etc. so if u have $, it's quite easy to find a companion there..

oh if you are interested in checking out MGM, the PRs from the clubs start streaming in after 12 midnight.. good place to check out but i find the music too loud. Also, in the afternoon around 2 pm + alot of good looking gals there as well, i don't know what they do but they are all dress up like clubbing in the middle of the afternoon.. just a place to be seen and see.. worth a visit in the afternoon but for me, too loud music and abit artificial..

hello bros, been a while since i visit this thread! Anyway, last month I went to a ktv club called 166 (at Nguyen Bieu F2, Q5) and the girls there are quite refreshing. If some of you have been a regular patron at Catwalk, you will know that most of the girls there are quite stucked up and the good ones are usually reserved for VIP clients. I suggest you guys pay 166 a visit, cheap beer and plenty of beautiful selection, a refreshing sight from Catwalk

Wow, should have went vietnam after seeing your posts. We went Catwalk once, but was kanna caught by surprise by the tipping charges. Beside charging us USD$7 per gal per 1/2 hr accompany, we were told last min to give an additional standard tips of USD$20.00 per gal.

Ended up spenting $100++ that evening (only an hr ++) for only hugs and kissings. For cheongster who value service for money, its a place to avoid even though the gals there are mostly lookers.

This hotel reminds me of my virgin trip to HCMC on Dec 2005...

Gal friendly, US$35 per nite, internet access at the lobby. Near Ben Thanh Market.

never post for quite some time. Since the last slowdown of the server.

This hotel is definitely girl friendly. The staff are able to speak mandarin.

If you want expensive massage, try New World Hotel. Right opposite your hotel.

If you want hairwash+massage, try Le Duyen 2, next door to your hotel. You can try asking the girls to go out to disco or cafe with you.

Gossip and Dainam Hotel is also quite near. The massage is before Gossip disco.


My cheonging pace now is like vietnamese working pace. Slow.

Distict 5 has alot of KTV as mentioned in the previous thread. Look for the word Karaoke Restaurant, or Big number signboard with nothing but motocycle parking at the ground floor. These are most like KTV. A few streets in district 5 have such KTV, An Dong Vuong, Nguyen Trai, Tran Phu, Le Hong Phong.

The main issues is communication. Some places will have chinese wordings, this means that taiwanese maybe their main clients. Please refer to my previous thread on how much these places cost.

Bro, if you think CATWALK is expensive, you should try the KTV at Amara Hotel at Q3. There are plentiful of beautiful gals there and many were formally from CATWALK too. A bottle of Jack Daniels is US$100, before room and gal charge. Went there recently with 2 other friends and ended up spending US$400.

That's really too expensive for a nite in Vietnam, with that amount I'll rather cheong at some local scene. At the end of the day, we are cheonging in Vietnam rite? not in singapore..

I think Gossip is the best, one bottle of Jack Daniels is only Sing $60 - 70. But have to make sure its genuine lah. We opened 2 bottles, one JD and one Jim Tequilia, only SND $130. One bottle of Jim already cost abt $150 - 180 in local club scene.

Just some personal points of view.

Hi all

Thanks for your information.

To all who needs a 'girl friendly' hotel, Tan My Dinh is good. You can keep your girl until 11 pm.
Very straight forward - simply ask the girl to come to your hotel, make sure she brings her ID card, go to the reception, tell them your room number and pass the ID card to the receptionist. And it is done. They will keep the ID card.

Once you are done, do down with the girl, tell the receptionist your room number and they will return the ID card to the girl.

I did not go to any of the many hair+massage places, but I managed to convince one girl (20 yr old student) who i have become acquainted with recently, to go up to my room... and the rest of the story is u know i know... a solid 2-hour session....(non-commercial activity)

Hi

I fully agreed that overnight will be 'even more girl friendly'.....

Honestly, i am a little concern of those 'cheaper' hotels that offer overnight. Reason being that in the middle of the night, the hotel may 'setup' to have the Kong An come after you, and you will be in a very bad position....

Anyway, I would prefer to try those that bros here have use it, will appreicate if anyone can recommend one or two within district 1....

THanks....

Under the VN law, the girls must be married to stay in an hotel with a guy for overnight.

Actually girl are allowed to stay overnight at Tan My Dinh hotel but maximum occupants to a room is 2 only.
