FR on my HCMC trip from 10 to 16 May. I mainly go KTVs as massage parlor and 1 shots not really my thing overseas. For oversea, usually try to go LT

KTVs - Almost every night go KTVs except for 1st day which I called a escort and 1 night in between. KTVs that I had go and remember is New Sky, Prince, G22, Fortune and Boss. I forgot a few. To see the most girls, go at around 6pm except for Boss where u should go at around 8-9pm. U will see around 15-30plus gals at the KTVs with maybe 50plus at Boss. For the girl, for LT is around 20-30%, ST around 40% while the remaining don't go out. I think maybe because of covid and no tourist so LT gals not a lot. Remembered it was more before covid. Although not a lot of girls but quality of girls not bad. Siting fee is 500k and the gals can butterfly. To lock her is 1 million. The girls unlikely to butterfly even if u never lock her. ST is 3.5mil and LT is 5.5mil (sitting fee included in ST and LT price). For Boss which is slightly higher class, no diff in sitting fee, but 4mil for ST and 7 mil for LT. The girls usually don't speak English, more understand Chinese than English. If you want girls that understand English, can go Boss, majority of the girls there seem to understand English. For KTV expenses, we have 2 pax and the expense every night range from 4 to 8 million. We only drink beer. The rough pricing as such:
Room - 500k per hour
Fruit plate - 300K
Beer - 50k to 60k per can
Mummy tip - 500k
Waiter Tip - 200k to 300K (Some need to tip, some don't)
Chivas 18 and Hennessy VSOP - 2.8 Mil

Escort - I booked a escort for the first night. Selected thru picture and the real person was the same as PIC. I selected one that is 6 mil for 8 pm to 6 am. If want longer time price will be different. There is also higher class one which will cost higher. No regret with my choice as the girl was young, fair and chio.

Accommodation - For the first 3 days, stayed at New World Saigon Hotel(5Star), no problem bringing back girl even after midnight. However do note that for most HCMC higher class hotel, this may not be accurate. You have a better chance at 3 star hotels. For the next 1 week, stayed at Rivergate Gate Apartment at District 4. Choose this place as stayed there before pre covid. Rates is around $55 per night. Good thing is got security and confirmed no problem bring back girls. Bad points is no housekeeping so if u bring different girl every night, towels is a issue. Luckily my place come with washing machine.

Food - Can try authentic viet food at open air stall. However do note that likely the owner will not understand English If not, just go restaurant, plenty in District 1. Likely also may not understand English but got menu. Worse case order fast food or can use grab delivery.

Transport - Just flag down any Taxi. Likely cheaper and faster than grab. Pay by meter. Can try grab bike if exploring alone, the fastest and cheapest.

Club and Live Music Bar - Went to MZ and there is girls there to accompany u also. Siting fee is around 200k to 500k. The bartenders are all pretty girls also. However no ST and LT. This one need some effort if want to up them.

Wechat and Line - There is quite a few if u use the nearby function. Range from 50usd 1 shot to 1/2 mil vnd 1 shot. For this trip, I only communicate for fun but never engage them However if u plan to engage them , ask them for a video chat first. At least u know u will be meeting the same person as the pic. This was what I did during previous trip before covid. Some will decline and you will know is fake.

PS: if u first time in HCMC, you can consider hiring a tour guide. There is quite a few Taiwanese and China tour guide still operating in HCMC. They do charge a service fee but it minimal and to me worth it for first timer. Anyway do not pm for tour guide contact, search using google.

Fortune open again ? My friend told me back in early April he saw KTV for lease sign in 1127 , wonder it is reopen or now has a new owner?

@fwchong

Is there any need to quote the long entire post just to say a few words...mod had removed your post...

[Manow]

Never use wechat nearby function to look for outbound callgirls. 90% use faked photo, the person turns up at ur hotel or apartment room is not the same person as the photo.

Appreciate the detailed FR bro upped , but the last time I tried overnight escort I got scammed 2m (luckily I paid only 2m upfront and not the full 4m). Any advice / contact to share for incall escorts?

4m is alot actually, but since u r prepare to spend 4m, my suggestion is first go to massage place or KTV where u get to select the girl u like. Get to know her during the massage or karoke session, after that offer her 4m to spend a night at ur hotel & agree on which night, high chance she'll accept if u look decent & polite. I have taken this approach many times for no more than 2m.
