I don't know.. I thought HCMC was a pretty easy place to pick up girls. I stayed there a few nights, each night had one or two free bonks.
Day/Evening time girls
The "nice" girls will have family curfew, they normally must be home by 10pm. Hooked up very easily via chat programs, don't ask for sex, ask to be friend, be interested in her, then can get her to meet. Bring her some nice place for lunch or tea, and be nice to her. Eventually can bring her back to hotel to give her some gifts from Singapore (left over from business meeting), express your interest in her, and there you go. Or bring her back for a photo shoot.
Of course you should be smart enough to know that these girls are usually students around 18 to 22 (maybe younger). The older ones tend to be a lot more street smart, or just want money.
Night time girls
Using chat programs, finding girls at massage places near my hotel was simple. There were those that outright ask for $$, so I'll politely turn down, then just delete them. For the rest, I simply chat them up, want to be friends, know them, and ask for supper/dinner.
Hit rate is about 4 girls out of 10 not asking for money, and 1 or 2 of the 4 will come out meet you. The girls will usually work from 6pm to 1am. If they are meeting for meals doesn't mean they will go hotel if you ask. I never ask about going hotel on the first meet up; I may joke, but I always follow the line "no, cannot anyhow bring girls back. Only bring go bed with gf". VN girls tend to be "conservative": If you're out for sex, they'll sense it and they will charge you $$. Give them a sense that you're a reliable person, they'll want a good bf.
In fact, one of the massage girls wanted to brought her massage friends with her when I offered to bring her for dinner, and said sure, everyone is welcomed. The girl's 8/10, one of her 3 friends was a 9/10. 1st nite just eat and say that I'm walking back alone (at least until out of their sight). 2nd nite just video chat show that I'm alone. 3rd nite, 8/10 and 9/10 were both wanting to be my gf. 8/10 claimed me as hers because I talked to her 1st. Of course, happy ending with both 8/10 and 9/10, but on different days.
Overall
Of all the cities I've been to, I think this is one of the easiest city to pick up girls (and the girls actually respond!).
So ya.. Personal experience, it's not hard to get free bonks in HCMC.

Side note 1:
I didn't like the A&Em hotel front desk though. The doormen all recognised me, treated me nice. The front desk lady was very nice and warm when I checked in, but every time I brought a new girl in during the day or accompany the girl out in the morning, must register/deregister her, and I can see the front desk lady's face get blacker. Good thing she didn't work night shift. By 4th day she never greet me already. End up feeling buay song, because I felt like I was being judged.
-----------
Important side note 2:
You would want to avoid KTV girls. Most of them can sense the intentions, and will bring up the issue of $$ one way or another.
I avoid KTV girls nowadays.
I had this super hottie who after her date with me (almost 1million VND), skipped her KTV work to spend the night.
Next morning she hinted and then realised I'm not going to buy her a new dSLR. She got upset. I got called a "stin-gi boyfriend". She then demanded me to pay USD$250 as compensation for sex and her missing work. I offered 2 million VND, she got upset and threatened to throw and break my $5k dSLR. That got me angry, I tussled with her to get back my dSLR, got slapped in the process. I threw her out before she could break my other precious things, and she left crying. Offered her 2 million VND while she cried at the lift, but she didn't take it.
The whole thing left a bad aftertaste, but I guess still counts as a freebie?
(On hindsight, she could have easily been one of the top tier girls at KTV. I wouldn't be surprised. Perhaps USD$250 +1million VND isn't anything too high)
-----------
Disclaimer: Freebie just means I didn't pay the girl directly. For some I paid for expensive meals. Some I ate 2 or 3 dinners a nite meeting different people. Some I paid for starbucks, etc. Like I tell the girls, I don't want to give money for sex.
