KTVs
I understand that Catwalk and Royale are the upmarket KTVs and will be more expensive but the good thing is that the mamasan and girls can converse in the mandarin or english, which is good because i cant converse in Viet.
166 have been raided so i dunno if it is still operating?
Fortune 1 and 2 are slightly cheaper than Catwalk and Royale, am i correct?
Since i will be staying in the Pham Ngu Lao area on my visit to HCMC, i understand that Catwalk and Royale are nearer while Fortune 1 and 2 will be about 10mins cab ride away.
In your opinion, for a group of 5 guys who dont speak Viet, will it be better to visit Catwalk and Royale or Fortune 1 and 2? For these places, do you happen to know any mamasan i can contact upon arrival?
Tips wise, i read that some places charge 120k per hour for the girls, 100k-300k tips for the mamasan, 200k for the manager, and 100k for the waiters while places like Catwalk charge 500k for the girls without butterfly. Are these charges still the market rate?
The LT for girls from these KTVs are in the range of 2million to 3 million, am i correct?

Those honest enough will tell you never to visit the places mentioned in your post.
I have pmed you some places to go for KTV. I don't own any of them.
Depends on what / how much u drink, your bill including fruits, snacks, room, all the crap will be 3-5mil vnd. NOTE: never ever let the girls order food no matter how much they pester. Food can almost double your bill. If they must eat, give them 100k vnd and ask them to buy themselves.
Tips should be as follow:
Mummy 300k
Waiter 100k
Girls 300k
Any amount above that is up to your own discretion.
Takeaway is between 1 - 2mil vnd for ST, 1.5 - 3mil vnd LT
Enjoy!
