Wow, you're pretty cynical! You really think that? I haven't tried one in months, honestly, but I have a few now I definitely want to try soon. Promise you I will give a report when I do. Actually one of them is in the photos I put up. (ok the first one I put up, that one) Some are not in the photos. I would always make my choices based on whether the pics get me going, never would do it based on some other guy's report. Actually some who tried shared their links with me, but the girls weren't ones I would pick to go try. Just based on looks.

Anyway, let's change the tone, Tom. Like, have you done any of these? I'm not sure which direction you are coming from. Veteran or newbie. Were any of the ones I posted pics of ones you would be more into or not? (I like all of those actually) Did you go check the sites? I can PM the exact links if you need.

My purpose for posting this stuff was to generate discussion of this -- it's such a sensation here in Saigon now, and there's just no talk about it in English anywhere. I just think it would be fun for us to talk about.

As for recommendations for telcom providers welll its my first time in hcmc so i dont know which telco has the best coverage thats why i rely on answers from bros experience here... Ive tried in other countries that in some instances had to buy 3 different sim card to be satisfied with coverage and data (and yes i did mention was important for me to have a good telco provilder) good to know theres good wifi access and all but a crucial info that i didnt know before as i say again its my first time in Hcmc... As for money changer i asked about location of the money changer at benh tanh market i didnt ask for the best money changer in town... Reason that i asked for it cuz i will be staying near that area and i asked just for convenience sake... Well thanks again for the help bros... Im ranting here cuz i feel that some remarks were outta plc and not friendly at all... If you dont agree well to each its own... cheers for that...

Sorry you're right -- I didn't intend to be rude but can see how I came across that way. Perfectly reasaonable questions, and you were innocently just trying to find out what you needed to know. I think it's just that there's so little discussion of girls and sex here that it frustrates members like me who hope to read more about that subject and less about the others that creep in here.

So... I'm sorry.

go to the new world hotel roundabout and go down the narrow street Le Thi Rieng, a short way down that street on the right is one of the most famous banh mi places in the city. There's another good one (less packed with meat, which I prefer) round the corner on the first side street that leads down to Zen Plaza.

Hope others can help with your other requests.

almost all street food is cheaper in comparison to local prices.
my advice to you is to note the opening hours of each of the stalls recommended, and try your very best to avoid going near the closing hours.

personally the best banh mi is banh mi huynh hoa for the amount of meat. Try your luck at 2pm.

Huynh Hoa is the one I meant in my post. The place round the corner isn't as famous, puts less meat on, but to me Huynh Hoa is a bit too much meat, just my personal taste. That guy made videos of each of the places, it's up on Youtube. Linked in his blog.

Best is a difficult answer to give, as each has their own personal taste.
If you you are in this area, you might like to try this stall located at:
Banh Mi Hoa Ma
on Hem 51 Cao Thang

Do not place high hopes that every food recommended is good, just put a little bit adventure to try. Example feature in his blog that Com Tam Ba Ghien at 84 Dang Van Ngu is good, so went to try. My disappointment the meat was burnt on one side and the food was just so so. Luckily I didn't have to travel far, as my in law place is just near by.
My first stop every time I landed in HCM is to go to a small eatery shop located at junction of Ly Van Sy and Pham Van Hai for zhi char dishes at cheap prices. Nothing but the best for food comes in hot and freshly cooked.

I go there often, it is just reliably ok-to-good quality, nothing amazing. Reasonable price. Very popular at lunch.

Near there is Bun Cha Ha Noi on Pham Van Hai just near corner of Nguyen Van Troi, that one is more worth a visit, I say. Similar atmosphere, very cheap and targets locals. Busy every day. This one had been located cross the street, moved this past year to this new spot.

@Wendella,
According to the webpage you have posted, I found out there is one particular hotel that constantly keeps popping out. That was regularly use by the gai goi from various web site in Xuan Dieu. Next time I am in HCM will try out this place.

Too many guys playing shady games here. Real people talking about real things need to retake the space. Anyone who has a motive for talking here that is not just talking is not helping. Using this space to promote a business, and meanwhile encouraging suppression of sharing info by others, is just not cool.

I don't care who's doing what, but anyone discouraging sharing of info is going against the spirit of the forum and the internet. "Don't spoonfeed newbies" is insulting to newbies, disrespects them. Many newbies are as sharp or sharper than the seniors here. Give them the tools and they will flourish, that's my philosphy. Just look what happened here last week if you don't believe me. A few newbies became pros at the VN websites.

Read is the key word...... if SBF dun have, google for it. TripAdvisor should able to give u good recommendation.

[hoian]

Unless you speak Vietnamese or have a local guide, it's best to stick to the more touristy district 1. Otherwise will be like chicken & duck talk. Some bros may disagree. Depends on your appetite for risks.
