HCM Vietnam
This report will not follow the typical format, but it is information that anyone visiting HCM should know. There is an area northwest of the Opera House that is known as the Japanese district. Most of the hotels in the area are not girl friendly unless you register the girls in advance. Meaning you have to know the girls name at check in. I have stayed at both Silverland hotels in this area and the Silverland Sakyo is much more difficult to bring a late night guest home than the Silverland Sil. A well placed 100,000 to the doorman will get you what you want there, but it is not nearly as nice of a hotel.
Most of the Japanese area centers around Le Thanh Ton Street. Along that street you will find several massage parlors with the girls on the outside cat calling you into the business. Most are just HJ type places and are not the best of services. I had walked this area hundreds of times and never noticed a little alley labeled Residential Alley. I thought it just led back into an area for locals. I could not have been more wrong. This nondescript alley is located across the street from the Qui bar at 22 Le Thanh Ton Street. It goes for a short distance before branching off into a much larger area. Back down these 5 or 6 side streets is a monger/drinkers heaven. There are hundreds of little small Japanese style hostess bars, restaurants and of course massage parlors.
I did partake of some. Too many choices to list. Standard massage that leads to FS or HJ depending on your looks, the way you treat the girl and what you are willing to pay. Not kidding, there are probably 30 or 40 massage places back in this complex of alleys. Just go for a walk. No need to go inside for the lineup. Most are outside. Just select your girl. Hostess bar girls can be bar fined based on my experience, but the lady drinks are expensive and most can not leave until after 12. The mostly paid 1 million. Took one home for all night that was super fine for 1.5
Bottom line, if you are visiting HCM and want a little taste of Tokyo while there, don't miss this alley. Select a massage girl if you want it right then, or the bars if you want more of a looker or with a large group of drinking buddies.
Qui Bar is also a great bar for the rich. Check it out too. Great mixed drinks. | |
