[VIETNAM] HCMC Experience and Prices
Ho Chi Minh City Guide and Experience
I've been learning from all you brothers in this forum for a few years now. I only just signed up recently, so this is my first post and as a thank you I've decided to give something back to you all.
Over the last 3 years I've been traveling to and from HCMC to visit relatives and business. As an ABC, I can't speak Vietnamese, only Cantonese mandarin and english. Well this is how I got by with the help of my cousins.
Note: With the prices I'm going to stop in the .000 thousands eg. 200.000 = 200.d and "D.?" refers to District (area)
Massage Parlors:
There are several types of massage parlors here in Vietnam and surprisingly not hard to spot. Definitely have more than "BaKuTeh restaurants" in SG and KL. Here are the different types
1. Spa and Health Centre inside Hotel Buildings
These are the highest class of massage with the best quality girls, practically in any 3 star or above establishments (hotel with a lobby, elevator and bellboy) with a Spa/Massage attached to it or any International class hotel, usually on the highest level (I once stumbled upon, the elevator door opened and 20+ girls stood up start to fix up their dress and make up, found it really funny to see their expression as I pushed the button to closed the door. A few of my favourite shops frequent by a lot of ABC is around "Pham Ngu Lau" in D1 or "Gwai Lo Gai" (foreigner street where the big buffalo sign is). They have a price menu and the staff are friendly and can speak fluent english or mandarin. So you'll walk into one of these establishments and they will ask you wether you'd want VIP (which they pronounce as "VEEP" and not V.I.P) or Standard Entry. After you've decided here comes the next part.
