Two other places worth mentioning. On the street, the cyclo drivers will
take you where you want to go - they know all the places. The girls are
lower quality than the ones that hang out in Gossip. Still you can get
lucky
and find a nice one but you have to look around. Don't pay more than
US$30/hour. The other place is the Queen Bee Disco opposite the Rex
Hotel.
There are lots of attractive young ladies who will escort you in the
disco -
this involves chatting, singing, dancing and generally getting
comfortable
with them in a dark corner. The quality is quite high - however they are
not
all available for sex. You have to get a little lucky and if she likes
you,
you can negotiate to meet her after closing time (1 am). You will still
have
to go to a private house but then with her snuggling by your side, you
would
probably go to the moon and back again !
Good luck with your travels to Vietnam, one of the friendliest countries
in
SE Asia. And good value for money in terms of sex!
Coming from Thailand, Vietnam looks similar, but poorer. It is also
quite dirty, and rather unsafe (I got my wallet stolen while sitting
in a park).
Hotels are usually expensive, not very comfortable, and they do not
allow girls in the room.
I har read that prostitution was prohibited in Vietnam (which it is)
and that the law was strictly enforced (which it is definitively
not). There are many hostess bars, some quite classy and comfortable,
and taxi and cyclo drivers will take you to private houses (some are
quite seedy places) where many young girls are available for taking to
a mini-hotel (i.e. a private hotel with relaxed policy on illegitimate
love matters). The standard price is USD 40 for the girl and another
30 for the room (40 for the whole night). By the way, in Saigon, do
not bother to change too much money, US dollar bills are widely
accepted. Some prices (taxi to the airport $6-10, one hour cyclo $2, 3
course meal $15, Coke $1).
I was strolling in front of the city theatre when I was involved in a
conversation with a guy who had with him a delightful young
girl. After much talk, I took her to a mini-hotel for a
while. Compared to a Thai girl, she was less shy (i.e. no towel
wrapped around her when exiting from the shower, lying naked on the
bed waiting for me, etc.) and very good at oral sex (which Thai girls
seem not to enjoy much, when they accept to do it). Considering she is
only 19, she has a lot of potential. If I worked in Saigon, I would
want such a girl as a concubine...
The next evening, I came back to her and for the third and last time
she dressed in traditional Vietnamese clothes rather than jeans, and
she was even more beautiful. That way we became good friends.
The man who serves as her sponsor and mentor works for an travel
agency, is very friendly, speaks good English, and claims he can
arrange any kind of trip around Vietnam, including providing young
attractive girls as escorts. He seemed to me reliable and helped me a
lot when my wallet was stolen. He welcomed the idea of being included
in this report and can be contacted at.
The beer bars (bia om) are outrageously fun, if you speak at least a few
words of Vietnamese or go with local friends. I don't recommend going
by
yourself if you're new in town, as doing so is just asking to get ripped
off
or in trouble, or both. Most bia oms are in District 4 and in Go Vap
district, but can be found anywhere. They can be recognized as follows:
(1)
they say (in Vietnamese) "airconditioned restaurant," (2) from the
street
level looking in, all you can see is a small bar and many motorbikes
parked
so license plates cannot be seen by passing spouses, and (3) there will
usually be vertical strings of christmas lights hanging down the
building
front. Girls will usually meet you after work for $20-$30 per session.
At
insane bia oms service on sight is $5-$10 a blow and $10-$30 full
session.
Want a special massage, don't go to the Prince Hotel. Otherwise, it's
available everywhere else and virtually mandatory at most other hotels
(which
seem to have cornered the market). If you really don't care about a
massage,
go to the Palace Hotel where everything except a massage is available,
or to
Vung Tau (Cap St. Jacques). Please don't pay more than $25 for a hand
job or
local residents will be upset at you for ruining the market.
Final words: unless you're shit-faced, don't take a girl from the
street.
Not only are most doggy dirty (rejects from Phnom Penh?), but I've seen
many
tourists unknowingly leave with the many transvestites on the streets.
Watch
out for the redhead in Europa/Gossip who grabs your crotch and plays
mama-san, it's a guy! If you're still unlucky after all this running
around
town, give it a final shot by getting a 2am bowl of noodles at ABC
Restaurant
on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. It's packed nightly with women on their
way
home, who would prefer to be on their way to your home. In Vietnam,
there's
rarely a need to be shy.
