Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Newcastle Nick

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

This matches my experience. Vietnam is great value for money.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
