Wow Bro H88 to stay there will cost a bomb. I think maybe 2 days room rental enough for my whole trip visit to HCM.

Better to treat seniors well (i.e. pay for their meals, etc.) than to treat WLs well (i.e. overpay ST or LT) because the latter will only laugh at us.

If we treat seniors well, we at least make good friends and business contacts.

What do we get from WLs? Sometimes not even a sincere "thank you".

My 2 cents.

Q12 aint so bad, although you'll be primarily in an industrial area and quite sparse of any noticeable entertainment or diversions.

Click on the map above. Locate the airport. Immediately north of the airport is Q Go Vap. Going further north, a bridge away across the Vam Thuat river is Q12.

You will not likely find any fun places in Q12 but rather in Q Go Vap which is quite working class and diverse with Vietnamese from other parts of Vietnam who have come to HCMC to work. Naturally the working class have their own places to cheong, which are at working class prices. For example, Nguyen Thai Son and Nguyen Oanh Streets in Q Go Vap are full of 'quan nhau' (local places to eat, drink and get wasted!). And as typical with the average working class Vietnamese, after you get wasted at a quan nhau, you head to a dodgy hotel 'xong hoi xoa bop' (sauna) for a rub and a tug before you head home!

Note also that National Highway 1 (QL1, or Quoc Lo 1) leading all the way to Hanoi, runs through Q12. I would guess that there might be the odd place for truckers (they need to have fun too!) along the highway, but I don't suggest that you go around looking for these in a taxi, but rather try and find a friendly local to show you a place or two.

Your other alternative would be to head to Thu Dau Mot City, in the adjacent province of Binh Duong, where a KTV quite popular with some on this forum, is located. But that's a different story altogether.

So to summarize, I advise finding a friendly local to explore Q Go Vap, while staying in Q12. It would be nice to see a FR on outlying districts for a change. Maybe you might even find something in Q12 - you never know! If not, it'd be approx. VND 300-350k (around SGD20) for a cab to Q1, each way.

That's why I suggested to him to find a friendly local.

Maybe you need to get your eyes checked.

dont be surprise if u find gals in Go Vap that can speak English...there are lots of language schools over there..

there are more people that can speak English nowadays,but of cos the percentage is still lower if compared to District 1 with other districts.

[gmboi]

135-137 Ly Tu Trong Street, District 1, District 1 - Ben Thanh Market, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (Show on map)

How to find a friendly local who can speak English, have the time to bring him around? Go kopi tiam? "anh oi, u speak English? Can u bring me around n look for girls boom boom?" Go Viet forum to look for Viet friends or Xe om but xe om seldom speak English.... "anh oi, boom boom where where?"

Will a friendly local be so free and kind to bring a stranger around to get laid?? If easy, I dun mind exploring other ulu district n I speak baby Viet.

Frankly, anyone approaches me n ask me to bring him around to get laid, I will say I am not free and walk away.... I am unfriendly n inside me, "siao tao nua pai, a stranger n expect me bring him around."

Just stick to tourist area n enjoy the entertainment, no need to be so adventurous and yet headache so much. The only draw back is u pay extra cash.

When I was in Hanoi, initially I also cheong tourist area but later got to know more friends who had been in Hanoi long, then started to go local places...

It could be a 'friendly' bell boy, it could be a 'friendly' xe om or taxi driver... I am sure you know just as well as anyone here that anything is possible in Vietnam. Besides, if he has a reason to be staying in Q12 then I suspect there would be more possibilities for him than meets the eye...
