A lot of people try going solo or in a group on free and easy..... it will be tough.

Even nowadays I still got over charge in Bia Om; let alone a first time traveller.

Most sinkees are calculative if not all. So far I spend average of V15m to V20m per trip when I go with H88. I still treat him like a teacher; teaching me what he knew about VN. Hence I really love to treat him to restaurants while he buy me beer at beer store.

Some brothers we meet up before going to HCM, only have a budget of V7-8m for a 5 days cheongs trip, which I think they are either poor in calculus or mentally disoriented.

I would think paying for knowing and learning is good. Rather than paying like a fool and get conned going solo.

A lot of people want free guided tour...... even if you pay our share in Bia Om, we still need to tip the gals we sit with. Think about it; not only we are wasting money; we are also wasting time.

So please before scolding anyone for profiteering or okt; please put forward some number or break down of the money or profit involve.
IF the hotel is already paid for then budget 7-8m is enough for 5 days if you know your way around
3 standard meals + drinks 100k/day
1 cafe at syt plus her tip 50k/day
1 bonk at brothel from a 7/10 800k = 1mill a day

now you can swap you bonk for 4 bbbj at a cafe om, or 3 bbbj at hot toc, or 2 bbbj at massage etc etc or u can swap bonk for a seafood meal or a meal with syt waitress and eat suckling pig/hot pot etc etc
