During these period i managed to find 3 syt thru pubs and massage parlor.
i tend to find local joints instead of the usual joints where tourist goes.
here are few ways in which i go about doing it:
1) google : gotta be patient. this can be time consuming. key in key words such as massage, vip, bar etc. this may lead you to some vietnam sites... don't skip these, go in and translate. you may find valuable info such as which no girl is good and how much is the tip.
i managed to find a local massage joint and my massage syt thru this way. She got a hot body and looks above avg and can speak english. i always visit her a few times per trip.
Personal rule for me : skip those that need to travel more than an hour drive (for safety reasons). always bring small notes to massage places and always tip well the guy/gal who brings u to the room. have min accessories on me.
2) hotel bell boy : make friends with them. buy drinks or pass cig to them. get local intel from them.
thru them i got to find a local disco joint (no nearby pub) along some small road behind the hotel. (was staying at a local area). i went there. all staff couldn't speak english except for a hot syt pr manager. she accompanied me during my stay in the disco. this was my go to place for dinner and drinks for the rest of my trip and subsequent few trips. this is the 2nd local gem that i found at a local area.
Personal rule for me ; bring min accessories and have small change in wallet.
3) bar hop : during the first 1-2 days, i will explore the pubs nearby my hotel till i find a waitress that i fancy. once i find one, i will just visit her regularly.
This is my 3rd gem. syt english speaking waitress.

do take note thou that i have many many misses than hits. once hit i tend to stick to them as i prefer companion.
i always travel alone so it can be scary and dangerous at times, so u just have to be street smart and act local. always look out for hotels nearby wherever u go. in the event u can't get taxi back, head to the hotel to get taxi.

Hope the above help some bros.
No venture No gain.
Cheers

Great info. I also found some Viet forums and shortlisted a few joints to recce in an upcoming trip. Have you heard of Queen spa in D1 & Sala spa in D7? I'm looking for b2b massage w BJ and these places offers them.

I also read a lot on a place called Dainam spa in D1 that locals frequent. BJ depends on gal AFAIK. Heard of this place?

Another find was an okt offering outcall massage ++ svcs starting from 1.5m. Is that the current market price?

99% of the time, it is a scam. Especially around the $1mil to $1.5mil price point.

How it works is they generally look quite different from photo, and it will be a super super rush job, that they don't even try to turn you on.

In case you do want to try, make sure you take the precautions. Don't go shower and leave her alone with your clothes. They may disappear when you come out of the shower with your money. Don't pay upfront. Again, they may disappear before you even get started.

If you want service through freelancers, going to websites like gaito is better, because the girl would have reviews and you can see if people commented that they are real or not. Again, not too different from Singapore FL sites, where there can be fake reviews.

For the highest safety, it's best to go to a massage joint, or just go little Japan. The price premium is worth the peace of mind.

Or you can try to pick up viet girls, who don't mind going down and dirty for a price. The economy is quite bad.

I sort of can guess the forums you went to. I have a feeling they are massage place sponsored websites that is made to look neutral. In any case, the quality is okay lah. Just not the cheapest places. But worth a try.

I went to sala just last week. A little bit ulu and run down, but affordable versus the nicer looking spas. Dainam is a popular name, but I haven't tried. Reviews say it's okay.

Don't go for okt outcalls. In my post right above this, I mention why.

If you want sex, the safest way is little japan.
If you want a rub, then go to a spa place. You get to use sauna, jacuzzi, and the girl goes into the tub with you. There's very very little value to do an outcall massage because you don't get all those ambience stuff for essentially the same price.
If you want more adventure, you can read up more about gaito, hot toc, or venture outside of the city center.

Thanks. I did also find some hot tocs in D3 to try out.

Hmm massage sponsored forums that looked neutral. Thats interesting and also adds a potential sketchy and paid reviews angle to it. But good u went to the Sala, D7 is out of city centre but still looks close enuf by grab to go venture. Which other forums do you do your research?

The spas you mentioned are even further out? Like D10/D8 or even as far as go vap? (North of airport?)

Yah gai goi also in my shortlist but I do have problems which website reviews to trust..there are quite a few. Can you share which ones you find more reliable?

safer if you go to Little Tokyo spa where you can choose and see the girl (service depend on individual) - 2.5mil

Haha d7 not far la.. Most of the massage spa places are there. The other place is more towards d5 d8 d10. I think 1 trip won't be enough to see all.

Asking out of pure curiosity. 2.5M seems to be around S$150. Why travel all the way there to pay for around the same price as a Viet will cost in SG? Viet in SG I think we can get at S$200.

Let me just use Vinasun taxi as guide pre-pandemic...:)

trip from D1 Ben Thanh market to D7 cost around 100 to 150k dong one way and back another 100 to 150k dong

Total transport charge is 200 to 300k which need to add...think today will cost 30 to 50% more...:)

My info told me that today Grab Gojek and taxi had hiked prices becos the petrol prices is around 31k per litre...pre-pandemic was around 18k per litre...:)

I understand can cut the transport charge if can use motorbike taxi but will around 30 to 50% cheaper...:)

Those who rent and ride bike in hcm will be fully at risks...just dun get into accident if without driving licence and insurance...:)

So dun be penny wise and pound foolish...:)

above is my 2 cents worth...:)
