Thanks bro for your kind reply. :)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

what rate are you referring to ?
I stayed at A&EM Phan Boi Chau, right where the night market is.
Double deluxe room is tiny and low floor... even VIP also 2/3 floor .. you can try maybe better luck

while I and my "bx" was waiting for our room to be ready at the lobby... the hotel staff saw 2 young ladies at the lift ... maybe the hotel staff can recognize their guests :rolleyes: and suspected the ladies are not guest so they questioned them ... so not sure is this hotel completely girlfriendly ... but at least allow me to check in with a viet lady

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Hi bros out there,

I will be going to HCMC and will be staying in Grand Silverland hotel near to the famous market sometime in Dec.

Can any bros provide me some info where I can get FJ/BBBJ in some places in nearby locations where walking is sufficient? Don't want to venture to far off.

Thanks a bunch guys. Appreciate it !

p/s You can also PM me.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

as stated THERE ARE NO fj/bbbj places near where u are staying that is within walking distance..u prob can get scam/bad servcie moto girls who will approach u in that area ( ie bad service overpiced, ie 100usd ST, or u will have stuff stolen from u)...anything that is good ie good service/ good price...it'll be kept secret, definately not shared openly, why share and risk having it spoilt unless tehre is some incentive.
I am just repeating what has been stated...massage with hj is easily found just put some time into reading and using teh search function.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Usually i stay in A&EM hai ba trung (HBT) & 1 time in Thu Khoa Huan (TKH). Deluxe room rate about SGD60 to 70 in agoda depends on promotion. Room in A&EM HBT better than A&EM TKH (near ben thanh market). Both hotel are girl friendly.

The bellboy at A&EM HBT usually can help arrange for okt girls to come lobby 1 by 1 for viewing & selection though im not sure now (last visit 2 mth ago) I paid around US$50 for ST. Girls are hit & miss, dont speak english much, service depend on girls, more for quick release at night.:)


Just to share this stall which sell nice duck noodle (Bun Mang Vit), my VN fren bring me eat along le thanh ton St. beside Ben thanh market near junction of Thu khoa huan St. My fren said Bun Mang Vit mean duck noodle with bamboo shoot.:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

been following this webpage behind the monitor for personal research for quite some time. was useful in my many solo-lust-filled trips. so finally decided to contribute my part. :)

*I wont go into full details though but just enough.*

my hotel
- Anh Duy Hotel, cheap, decent room, near Ben Thanh, GF. other GF hotel was quite expensive to my budget. used to stay in Indochine in HaiBaTrung, but it seems that it is no longer there now.

my nightlife
- Hai Ba Trung, unlike dec 2013, its rather cleaned up now. nothing much going on.
- Pham Ngu Lao aka HCMC backpacker area, very backpacker feel, waitress and foreigners flocking the area, some notably nice place - Crazy Buffalo. but if you are like me, i'd go for the quieter ones (but not too shabby looking) for value-for-money fun with the waitresses and cheap drinks. Can-Bring-Gal-Home. dont expect it to be cheap here.
- Apocalypse, still a whore congested place. nice place if you are tired of hunting and want to try being hunted in return. there's 2 level, both different music and feel. drinks are ok priced. CGBH. great place for 2nd round to bust a move while high. i love the music here. did i mention you gotta pay cover?
- bar 29 @ hai ba trung, looks dead and empty, brightly litted inside. saggy aunties seating outside. signs to skip.
- OMG bar @ ben thanh. rooftop, atas place, DJ, nice place to bring your chic but not pick up one. expensive drinks.

my relaxation
- flamingo spa @ hai ba trung, 4 hands massage sound crazy enough. great experience. massage is more expensive than other massages ard. No-Hanky-Panky.
- massage enjoy & massage yuan @ hai ba trung - cheap, public room, massage was so-so in my opinion. my package was full body massage (comes with hot stone treatment), NHP
- ngoc huong massage @ hai ba trung, ok price, hot masseuse, very small room, YHP
- fantasy spa @ near my hotel, nguyen thai binh, place is hidden deep in a long alley. thought was a cheapo-down-n-dirty place, but entrance was good. cheap w/ private room. masseuse is the best i encounter (proper massaging skill that is). NHP
- dai nam massage @ tran hung dao, good massage with option of jacuzzi and sauna, masseuses are all model like. cheap w/ private room. YHP
- regal massage center @ pho duc chinh . i did not try this as the price was too high. 1mil for 1hour private room. apparently the gals here gives "good services". I maybe wrong since i did not try at all. :S

(scrambled) map for easy viewing. i'm lazy to organise it.
http://g$$$$$l/maps/BKdLf

P.S. my definition of "cheap" is relative to the local scene and not singapore.

P.S.2 i wont be answering questions much as i believe traveling is more of an exploration of the uncertainty (to certain extend). for general questions i'll try to though. so please forgive me.

Re: Have fun Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City
 

Its absolutely good to share information but to say someone doing something he has not is bad.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Actually i like Apocalypse. Buy a beer stay, stand behind the disco, smile at the girls you like, negotiation and off you go. There is a hotel a few hundred metres down the street like going thru some construction site. Inside the hotel got girls sitting inside a glass room for selection. Whole nite 100usd.
Don't ask me where because by the time i walked there i am already super drunk.
haha.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

wah bamboo shoot ah ... is it gona stink till cow cum home? :D

Can any bro kindly enlighten the way viet handle CHICKEN OR DUCK MEAT ...
WHY VIET LIKE TO TEAR INSTEAD OF CHOPPING? :confused: ... look so messy ... only at the chicken rice shop at Q5 for once the meat is chopped, but still messy LOL

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Bros taking domestic flight in vietnam do you buy travel insurance?
previously jetstar did prompt to purchase their travel insurance but vietjetair no have and can't figure out how to purchase their travelcare insurance.

Any other options? Thanks! :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

If u are worry, just buy a travel insurance online. It costs a few dollars a day.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Are these travel insurance any use? My insurance agent many years ago convinced me that it's better I just buy a good permanent medical insurance with international coverage instead of buying specific travel insurance as they usually do not cover much plus if one needs to collect on it, it's many times a nightmare all by itself.

How true/false is this nowadays? Especially for third world countries - do they actually have the network/actual infrastructure to provide care? Anybody actually have experience utilizing these travel insurance coverage? Apologize for perhaps too off topic question.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

haha...very true...the claim is just simply not worth it...to go thru the ordeal of filing claims and waiting...anyway i always believe if you will to travel light with no check in luggage...my ticket to hcm is less than SGD 150 per trip...so no point paying more travel insurance to airline...if I travel 100 times means I saved at least 2k of travel insurance...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Hmmmm.. Tis travel insurance is insured for lost of luggages, delay of flight(more than 6 hrs delay). Does not necessary to b death or accidents..
They will still pay if the plane is crash even if we did not buy any travel insurance.. CHOY!!

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

yes...this bamboo shoot smell terrible but taste nice when eat it...:)

no answer for you why Viets prefer to tear their drumsticks...think most hawkers served in a big piece of meat to show their portion...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Guess your medicate insurance dun cover lost of laptop or personal liability.... Most insurance claim is a nightmare, anyway travel insurance costs a few hundreds annually.

Vietnam is a nice country to travel. Not much mishap as everyone thinks. I was in Hanoi airport last year and the flight was delayed for more than 8 hours due to weather and air traffic. I could submit my claim back in SG and got a cheque within a month.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Thanks for the valuable heads up on HCM! These gave me some ideas for my cuming trip this mth end! Kum sia much much!:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

looks yummy!!!!

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

oh .. so no buy travel insurance ...

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

LOL - this gonna also turn into a TCSS thread - only worse - with totally worthless reposting of WHOLE passages - pictures even!!!
And of course equally worthless remarks.

Just doin' my own remarkin'!! LOL

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

dun need la...what for...I travel so often...never have problems...anyway I dun check in luggage and travel very light...also I watch my flight schedule even when I in hcm...making sure the plane departs Sinkie then I go airport...:)

the claim for all these insurance is a pain and need to fill up so many info...then not worth the time...becos my tix is cheap...:)

btw...my rich friends (worth USD 10-40mil nett worth) too never bother to buy travel insurance on short flights...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

If you travel on a short trip and not doing much dangerous activities, I don't think that it is necessary. If you have a personal insurance, I find that it will be enough.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

ok... maybe just take a look at my accident policy again ..:D
Thanks

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Hi there.. Wld be in hcm from 22 to 25th this month staying in district 1. This is my first time going and wondering if anyone is going the same time as me? So can meet up and tour together..

Thank you bro for the great tip on Dai Nam Spa. Cheap rate for a VIP room! Girls are all model like, I was lusting over their sexy outfit while waiting at the counter. Worth a visit.

Re: Have fun Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City
 

Well, i'm back. Sorry for not visiting this forum due to work here.

Anyway, really thank you blursam for defending me, it really touches my heart that someone out there i dont know but say something for me.

and dear H88 and ur friends, actually i dont feel offended at all, and i hope you guys dont take it to heart. neither do i want to slander u or something. I'm new to posting thread here, and it does not mean i cant provide funs and info for other bros. It's just because previously i wasnt so familiar with HCM yet.

For those who have added me in wechat. i think i try to give information to you without charging a single cent, hope that you guys had fun. and i dont know who is volcano/andy, if anyone wants to testify my presence or want to know me more, you are welcome to meet me up in HCM, as i would be station until Feb before i return to sg for cny.

Well, i hope my explanation will clear everyone's mind and lets all have fun in HCM~:D:D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Re: Have fun Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City
