2 close alternatives for punters in Vietnam
This is off topic (well off city) but with so many bros in Vietnam, wanted to give folks a very quick info on two alternative weekend playgrounds.
Phnom Pehn
I was there for just 2 days for work. There is a lot of Vietnamese gals (most of them very, very young) who works there. I was at this hotel called Ta Ming, and went to the KTV. Within 5 mins, mamasan came, spoke mandarin to me asking if I went gal. I said yes, she came back with 10 gals, and spoke to them in Vietnames (southern). Needless to say, I connected with the mamasan, and I tell ya, none of the gals are over 16. I feel uncomfortable doing too young, so had to ask mamasan to bring me her oldest gal, who turned out to be 21... heh. Anyway, Vietnam Air flies direct to PP from HCMC, and it's a 50 min flight. O/N with the gal is USD60 (and my host told me the next day that I overpaid, and mentioned a giant entertainment complex (all in one, casino, disco, KTV, massage parlour) open 24h/day called "The Rock" where the going rate is USD30 - 40 ON).
Border town off Lao Cai
No personal experience and hope to do this soon. A fellow punter tells me that at the border town (on the China side) off Lao Cai; you get to Lao Cai and can actually walk across to that border town across the VN/China border crossing there, is a "complex" fondly known as "Vietnamese Town", which essentially is a multi-story building, all of them whorehouses staffed by Vietnamese girls. From the description my buddy gave me, because it is a buyer's market there, the gals are young and pretty, and the rates are low (USD30 ON).

Maybe we should all organize a weekend trip eh

?

Brother ThunderPriest,

I dun reckon you overpaid lah. Coz with everything increased so much in prices here, the mkt rate about what you paid (USD50-60).

No way at Rock you can get for USD30-40 ON. The ladies there are famous of the expensive going rate

Thats my 2cents worth.

Oh! Tai Ming is a favourite with the Taiwanese. Most of the Viet girls there speak Mandarin too and very young, thats the reason why they like to go there

Bro ThunderPriest,

Thank you for your quick response. I found a room at the Somerset West Lake Hotel that has a common living area and 2 bedrooms. I think it is intended more for families travelling. Does anyone know if this hotel is lady friendly??? If not, I will look for another place to stay.

Oops, my mistake. It wasn't the Somerset West Lake Hotel but the Somerset Grand Hotel that had the 2 bedroom deals. Does anyone know if the Somerset Grand Hotel is lady friendly???

There are two Somersets in Hanoi, one is West Lake, and the other is in the heart of town at Hanoi Tower. West Lake just opened, and yes, more for the family. The one in Hanoi Tower is much better, used to stay here when I first got here a year ago and had a gal back almost every night, since Relax Bar is just around the corner.

Bro Thunderpriest,

I was mistaken about the hotel name. The hotel is Somerset Grand Hotel and the address is No 49 Hai Ba Trung Street, Hanoi, Vietnam. Do you or anyone else out there have any info on this hotel? I guess the most important thing is whether it is "guest friendly" and where it is located as far as near bars, ktv, massage, shopping, etc.

Hi Bros,

Also, is it good to keep some US dollars or should I change all of my money into dong? I've seen allot of posts with money in regards to US $ and was wondering if they actually paid in US $ or if that is just the conversion.

Most of the time, they take the dong. However, many touristy places, markets or hotel do accept USD as well. Great to have both as some will give ya a better price if in USD...Then again, the USD had drop significantly, so depends.

Anyway, when ya going there again? Remember to post some FR coz I might have to go there too myself for work and some R&R. Yeah!!!

Yes, the one on Hai Ba Trung is the Hanoi Tower one. Right in the middle of town, a stone's throw away from Relax Bar on Quan Su (where pimps hang out at night to pick up tricks for their gals). Don't know if Somersets is still gal friendly, it was a year ago when I stayed there.
As said, your alternative is to either stay at one of the local budget hotels in Old Quarters which are generally gal friendly, or at Fortuna and you take up your companion for the night from Boss KTV.

Hilton is right in the middle of town. Usually, just there will be a couple of "Honda Girls" outside the hotel. Honda girls are pretty much WLs, being driven around on the back of a motorbike by their pimps, looking for pickups. Sort of give a whole new meaning to the term street-walkers.

There are some local K joints, and brother Deptrai reigns supreme over most, if not all, of them. Not recommended for anyone new in town, or who do not speak Vietnamese; the girls by and large, only speak Vietnamese.

MPs, there is one on the 5th floor of Asia Hotel (to be fair, it's a cab ride, not walking distance), but as with most MPs (at least those that I know off), do not provide a happy finish. They'll persuade you to go for a handjob (massage baby?), but I've always refused them. Somehow, that agitates them, and make them want to go out with you for supper... But that only works if you're there for a while, and not on a stopover.

What would be a norm rate for a LT session with the Honda girls then? Will they be able to speak English, Mandarin or Canto at least

Bro TP...Thanks again for the comprehensive info. Good Man

Prices are typically US40 - 60 for ST and US80 - 100 for LT. Very little English (if at all), and no Mandarin or Cantonese.
