Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

during new year's eve...if you have no booking then no tables or room for you and friends at most entertainment places...crazy place in D1 starting from 11pm to 1am...no taxi or motorbike can go thru D1 becos of traffic jam...:)

I rather stay away from that crazy mad and over-price place on that nite...:)

I would still sleep early haha...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Wah thanks for the heads up bro. Looks like first few days is impt to establish the right contacts for booking to avoid disappointment.

Normally how much they jack up the price for new year eve ar?
100%?

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Will be there about the same time, as H88 said very crowded not worth coming out to join the fun, I will stay at home bonking from 2350 hr to past mid night to celebrate the new year. Our Mifa kor kor said save 1 life and at the same time hopefully can add a new life in 2015 :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

wah lidat also can...but if anyone never experienced New Year's eve in D1, Saigon should try experience once...then will understand how crazy and mad place...:p

experienced persons will know to avoid the place...but the weather is nice and cooling during Dec to Jan...love the nite and morning cool air...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

i doubt u will be able to get a table by normal walk in...gd spots are all being reserved for their VIP and regulars...unless u go damn early then u might be able to get a table

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

some simple guidelines for those planning to have Xmas and New Year countdown at district 1

- enter district 1 by 9pm to avoid jam if u are not staying in Q.1

- for celebration in clubs,do reach before 10pm to get a table unless u do know manager that can reserve table for u..but be prepared to experience over crowded and gotta wait for "years" for ice and mixer etc

- be prepare to travel by ur feet as traffic at central is terrible..so must plan ur destination and location carefully...best is to reach a place nearby ur final destination for dinner first before partying.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Was there last 3yrs during the festive…they will have road block and many people will walk on the road along Le Loi Street (Near Benh Than Market to the upmarket Hotel Intercontinental). Got mini makan mobile stall selling thgs. Quite like Orchard Road closure in the early 90s... pls be careful of ur wallet & valuables…

Party places will all be full unless go super early.
Bike parking is a nightmare…unless u stay ard tat area else dun purposely go that area… can be quite hard to go back…

Play safe~!!!

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

this is a very experienced chiongster advice who celebrated many Xmas and New Years Eve in D1, HCM nite spot...think you forgot to say...dun leave D1 until after 1.30am...forget about asking any friends to come join you if they are not there by 11pm...unless they are prepared to walk 30 mins...:)
