Final reminder - do not buy sim card from the airport.
Especially those booths that sell sim cards with unlimited data for 200k dong. Their unlimited data is after using 4G speed for more than the capped data, the speed will drop to snail speed. The 4G sign will still show on ur phone but the speed is very slow like 33kbs.

Therefore it is advisable to buy sim cards downtown at the local service center. Need to bring along your passport.

Viettel - 166 Tran Hung Dao Q1.
Daily 8am to 8pm
Sim card 50k + 70k for 7Gb or 90k 10Gb or 120k 12Gb or 200k 20Gb. Valid for 1 month.

From what I have read here, seems like **** is the main one to go for massage with specials.
I will be in HCM end June for 5d 4n.
Unsure if I would visit Z*** though.
Maybe I would have a decent trip LOL!

If u like nuru nuru massage and bbbj inside a atas room
with sauna, steam bath and bath tub inside..this should be a good choice. Go there from 4pm to 6pm.

Yes, that does sound atas for a non-atas price from a Singaporean's perspective.
Any other recommendations?

Hello I need help looking for some kind of tour guide/companion, but almost an "escort" to go with you the whole day and even drink with you. I'm not exactly sure if that's even a thing in HCMC but please advice if that's something possible. I just need someone who can speak English and VN.


Also I will be here at HCMC till next week so will try out the recently reviewed places like ***s. Was also looking at going to Catwalk just to try it out, I'm not necessarily looking for fs etc, other than the tipping which was mentioned from other posts is there anything else I should be aware of? (I'm really new to this sort of thing but I'm more like trying to experience it first while I'm here before taking a proper planned trip with friends). I've been here last Christmas but I only got to sneak out to Cherry Spa once at some point, not the best experience and it was a bit overpriced back then.

Although I tried walking around the area where Cherry Spa is (seems like some kind of little Tokyo?) I've spotted some posh looking bars like the one called "Bar Oza" which looks pretty fun with like 30 girls behind the bar ���� anyone tried these kind of places yet? I mean I know the rave about HCMC are these happy ending massage and FS etc but I also want to start testing out other places because it seems like I get to visit Vietnam more often than I thought I would (for work, then I extend it into a vacation)

Any other "different" experiences worth taking note of? I'll be really grateful.

Suggest avoiding the girls you find on wechat and beetalk. The price can be as low as USD40 but the service they have really horrible. After 1 minute they'll leave and call their pimps if you start to complain.

[Fatboy2017]

worst still wechat a lot of ladyboy becareful when using it to find girls... best if you stay near bui vien is to go find the bar girls....

but i will say sometimes you might be lucky and can find a gem in wechat but chances of that will be like 1 out of 100

I will be heading to HCM on a solo trip end of June.
Leaving the lust up to fate hahaha.
