Not that I'm lazy but it's quite a lot of pages to read through and I don't have the luxury of time to do so.

Where are the recommended places for KTV and damages, if possible recommend the mamasan too

Thanks all in advance

If you have a chance pls read my recent post on KTV. Let me know which type you prefer. You can PM me and I will try to respond with info. I recommend either Korean or VN joints.

Are the places around District 1 Ben Thanh Ward a walkable distance ?

eg: from Bui Thi Xuan to Phạm Ngu Lao
eg: from Ben Thanh Market to Bui Thi Xuan

On the map looks pretty close but later go there need to walk like 20-30++ mins

since u are on a trip...why not just walk?
along the way has interesting stuff (from food to matxa to salon etc)
maybe u will see what u like..
not to mention the quite crowded fairly new coffeeshops...have a Vietnam cuppa!

Lol... if u were on an expat salary based in Saigon, that may work.

Walkable but walking is not pleasant in most of Saigon. It will be obvious why when you arrive here and try to walk anywhere.

my advice is go to backpacker bars along Bui Vien or De Tham....lots pickup bars there...more choices
going rate is 3-4mil for overnight...PM me if you want more pointers

usually where would you fellows change vnd? In singapore? inside the saigon airport after you cleared the immigration? or in hcmc itself?

Because so far, I realised there isn't much difference in the xchange rate in SG and in VN
