I read that the first is quieter and with less activity, but also with much less scams for tourists.
I would be busy at day for work, but free at night.

I’m in HCMC now. Can’t really say got many scams leh. Maybe at the airport taxi area. Just don’t talk to weird strangers. The money changers can be a bit tricky, like to change the exchange rate at the last minute - went to Hung Long Money Exchange yesterday & got cheated of a measly $3, so sad that their reputation is worth so little.
In Little Tokyo, just look at the bar girls but don’t go into the bars. Supposedly got legit bars there but I can’t differentiate. I wrote a long post on Bong Lai Cac group so u can try that, they are legit but photos mostly edited so trial & error. If going to KTVs, watch out for unscrupulous agents. But so long as u control the spending, usually worst case is that the mami just show u all the plain girls & keep the best for her VIP clients.
