If it is any consolation...the pic on the website is usually the gal on the left... but the gal who will show up at your doorsteps will be the one on your right. In Chinese we say "products don't meet specs". :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Hurricane a quick question and a concern from me.

Any cheap hotel with a safe and in district 1?

Do you stay in hotel without safe? If Yes how you all safeguard your $$?

I'm asking these cos planning to have OT at my hotel...

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Have booked my air tix from jetstar for Hcmc on 6th April, and made plan to meet a vietnam girl I got to know in SG, maybe some actions will follow. But granny passed away on 5th so cannot fly liao. But luckily bought travel insurance so can claim all my travel lost $. Will try to make another arrangement to fly there again.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

I hv nvr bother to stay in hotel with safe...so far my things hv not lost...the hotel cleaner dun touch my things...I nvr trust safe...hotel can open anytime...:)

Also I dun stay in D1...in fact I dun go D1 unless I need to run errands...:)

So far all my friends hv not heard they lost anything in hotel except to the unscrupulous WLs who scheme to ripped you off...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Normally hotel staff can open the safe box despite we input a password. But I still think it is good to have a safe in hotel esp if one intend to pick up girls. Some WL does not want to bath together...and it will be too dangerous to leave them in the room where most of our money and valuables when we take a bath ourselves.

You mention u have never lost anything in Vietnam when u leave your valuable item in the room. Do u carry all your cash out with u whenever u leave the room? Or did u just left part of your cash in the room and not worry someone will take the money.

Thks bro h88. Jurong got 1 shop.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

you can always leave the bathroom door open...or bring your wallet in...laptop, ipad, iphone, ok lah...if you worried then bring all into bathroom...hotels will usually call you if your gal leave and the hotel will ask ok to let gal leave...if you knew the gal or the mummy then gal usually dun steal...the gal have no place to hide...:)

I have never leave cash in my room...always bring along...I just budget how much I need each trip...no cc, no nric, no atm cards...just split my cash into several pockets or tie to your underwear...even I forget to bring some loose dong on my table the cleaners dun touch...:)

never ever open wallet with all your cash in public...beware of snatch theft...especially D1, D3, D5...:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Thanks for your advice, i will be more careful when in d1, d3 and d5:)

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Here's a simpler solution. Just lock away your ipad, laptop etc in your luggage (assuming it has a lock). It is highly unlikely that the WL will lug away your luggage while u are bathing. Because she has to pass by the recep (maybe cctvs for some hotel lobbies) on her way out, it's not worth spending time in jail just to rob a foreigner.

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

This info may be useful for budget travellers. While chatting on FB with local friends who work in hotel industry, I have found that hotels in the US$15 range are getting rare. Even hotel owners who know me and used to charge me US$15 now asking US$24, reason being they have upgraded/renovated.

But fortunately, my friend managed to point me to a few hotels still available at US$15 right in the middle of Bui Vien. It's naturally not listed on Agoda etc. I will check it out in a few days and see whether its fit for human to stay... :rolleyes:

Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
 

Thank you for your suggestion. I am not in VN for fun and finding the cheapest possible hotel within Q1 is part of the challenge and a work requirement, at least for a night. The following night, I will be moving on to a 5-star. Just trying to share my findings with all the bros here. :p
