There is quite a lot of prostitution in Ho Chi Minh City. Also as Saigon to many locals and foreigners alike, the large metropolitan city has a population of more than 7 million people. Among these seven million people are millions of adult females. A number of those women are looking for sex either for fun, remuneration or a combination of both.
Guys looking for quick hook ups may be either disappointed or elated depending on their expectations and their experiences. Anyone who travels the streets of Saigon at night will see more sexy ladies in short shorts than they can shake their stick at. A major obstacle for any short time visitor to Vietnam looking for love would be the language. Most Vietnamese people cannot speak English and even many of those who do have a handle on the language can be difficult to understand.
Because of this, foreign guys who end up in Ho Chi Minh City often end up in bars and clubs in the areas frequented by foreigners. There they can find numerous women who are either comfortable around foreigners or looking to be. There tend to be plenty of freelance pay-for-play gals mixed into these crowds but those looking for a little bit of free fun can also be found.
Guys who dislike the clubs and bars or just want to be more focused can check out any of the numerous dating websites online. These tend to attract more English speakers but language can still be a big barrier. There are always exceptions but they seem to be few and far between. These are bars staffed with mostly pretty women who will sit with a customer when he buys them an overpriced lady drink. Many of the women who work in these bars will hit a hotel with a customer for the right price. There was a major crackdown back in that severely hurt the scene but several bars still remain and a few new places have even opened.
Some of these shops have been raided in the past though they keep on operating today. Other kinds of barbershops are more common. While the hot toc is ubiquitous throughout the city most offer nothing more than an honest to goodness haircut or at most a manicure from a pretty woman in a sexy dress. Others offer anything from handjobs and handholding to oral services. Most of the shops offering extras do their best to stay under the radar. There are many more of these shops located all around the city.
