Looks like a nice hotel. Wish my luck was as good as yours the first time I visited.

My gal was in code red when I was there the first time. Didn't enjoy my short trip at all.

It will take more than 30 mins from HCMC to Dalat by plane unless jet fighter.

the short sighted person would compare 8hr bus trip or 50min plane trip and choose flight.

the long sighted would add factors suchs as the 1-2 hr recommended pre flighta rrival at teh airport, the time taken to collect baggage, the extra distance that a airport is normally further than the bus terminal to hotels..so after those time consideratiosn are added, u comparing 8hr bus to a 4hr flight.

then look at the cost, 150k for bus or 1 mill for flight, that extra 850k can beput towards more productive matter, further u are showing ur lady taht u are careful with money and you are not a ATM so less likely to be chopped. Last but not least during teh 8hr bus trip u can use that time to hug and kiss yoru lady friedn and if your a bit daring u can let ur hand play under the blanket.

So now is teh flight a clear choice over the bus trip?

kekekke !! I am 100% SURE Bro's H-88 & MIFA had roaming hands ( and legs) under the blanket the entire 8 hours in the bus That said, I like Viet airports as there is plenty of beer to while away the time & HCMC airport is well organized and not far from town . Also hand-baggage only is best policy for internal travel in V-N And yes, Bro M-C , I am a short-sighted 4 eyes ....

Not true, I can show you plenty of hotels in Q1 around the VND250-350k/night mark that are not run down at all. Very cosy and away in alleys from major streets. And I dont mean the druggie/dodgy Pham Ngu Lao / Bui Vien quarter.

I would appreciate some of these hotel. Would be a plus if they are guest friendly. Thanks in advance.

Judging by the faces and accents I'm seeing and hearing around town today, it looks like the 4-day weekend has come to HCMC!

Dear All

I had arrived HCM for 2 days. Spend times with my bxa and also brought her to 1 place for massage which is good for couples. This place was recommended by a senior here. Although it a bit expensive, damage (750K + 100K Tips), it had good facilties. We are guide to a room exculsive for us. Inside the room have a small jacuzzi, Suana Room and steam bath.

Actually, you can bath and make love together in the jacuzzi. The massage provide is good too. Basically quite happy with their service. There are cheaper packages. The menu provide are also in English.

Below is the Address
114 Tran Ding Xu, Q1

I will also provide feedback about trip to Nha Trang by Mini Bus. 9 hours Trip.

[MIFAcafe]

I think the return ticket from HCMC to Da Lat is 2m Dong++.

The flight transfer timing is hell. Although it is 50 min flight from HCMC to Da Lat; I saw the time between the flight transfer to be 6 and 10 hours respectively.

Imagine reaching HCM city at 10 pm and the transfer flight is 8am in the morning.

It do not make any sense to fly to Da Lat from Singapore.

PS: Anyway we just reach hotel after 8 hr 30 min of bus ride. Although tired; but we brought back some good memory.

Happy Hungry Ghost festival folks.
