I recommend taking a Grab Taxi because it will take around 20 minutes from District 1 to get here.

Pls do not give wrong info...no way to reach Thu Duc from D1 hcm within 20 mins...so pls dun provide wrong info here...I knew Google provide estiate 22 mins...but dun forget from D1 turn into Bien Bien Phu D3 already will take around 10 to 15 mins and from DBP to QL13 will take another 10 to 15 mins...this is heavy jam area...Fastest will estimate around 40 mins...or jam around 1 hr...estimate taxi fare one way will be 100k...and another 100k back....

Do you need to use VPN? I used to be able to access last month just normal phone data. Any idea how to check the latest link?

My short FR :
First time tried this platform, was a bit scary coz Vietnam still a lot of scam can happen. Luckily it turned out to be better than expected. I was in D5 and chose one which had a lot of good reviews. Msg her and she asked to the hotel she mentioned. Arrived and paid for the room and gave her the number.

Around 10-15 mins she arrived. She looked better than her picture and spoke English. Told me she teaches martial arts for kids. Asked me to relax and she will do all the work which include B2B, FJand AR. Since long time not in action, I finished in around 20 mins

Felt obliged to reply. Those bars at Japan town are a scam. If democracy is a scam, then those bars are outright scams against humanity. They would add a lot of stuff to the bill and especially when drunk, it's worse! Probably ktv more worth while cos there is a cap on spendings assuming if you know the mms

The spa very aggressive. I don't have good impression of them. If you want clean massage, just go for golden lotus outside of Japan town near sunflower hotel.

I think that's the difference between HCMC and BKK. Vietnam really cutthroat and ruthless.

Golden Lotus, Temple Leaf all straight establishment. You get what they stated. Did not even ask for tips. But we are not in HCMC for straight stuff, right? Might as well go JB for massage.

I think the way is to look confident and be firm. Ask for prices first and if you think kanna chopped, just walk out. A lot of other options

A friend who lived in hcm now had asked several Grab bike riders...20 mins also quite impossible to reach D1 to Thu Duc...to be safe estimate 35 mins to 45 mins barring any jam or accident on the road...also depends if peak period or not peak period...

My advice to sbf who travel to hcm occasionally dun travel on bikes...if you are involved in rain delay or accidents...the cost and pain will not be worth the trip...stay within 4km radius...dun go wasting time on travel...

Same goes for the bars, if you're regular there then unlikely you'll get scammed.

I think many still do not really understand the concept of those bars in japan town (its similar to jap bars in japan etc)

Basically you get charged a "seat fee" / otoshi, then almost every item in the bar is add-on, eg. mixer, drinks for ladies, using of private room, coins for dart machine etc... i think only thing free is using the toilets

Some bars are more aggressive to push you to spend more either by getting the girls to keep drinking with you or some might even give a little perk like light groping etc, while some are less (more like talking bar). End day, there's no special provided in there, anything else you can try nego-ing with the girls direct and see if she will follow you back.

Long story short, don't be shy to ask for prices upfront. I have seen some Sporeans bros go to jap bars for first time, never asked about prices / system etc and behave like big boss. Only to be slapped with a hefty bill at the end of the night and then complain/create a scene

Not pro, but if you bother to use the search function... you'll probably find your answer. 600k for room (90 mins) + FS 2mil
