Ho Chi Minh MB Scene

[Shax]

Hi guys,

 

Not sure if this should be posted here or at the Escort section for members, but just wanted to get some input on the HCM mb scene. Could anyone share what are the average rates like? I saw some advertising on Grindr but are there better places to get one (maybe massage shops or gogo bars like in Bangkok)?

This would be my first time to HCM so would appreciate your input on this.

Hi Shax,

I was in Da Nang for 12 days last month and the number one app for meeting guys was the HeeSay (formerly BLUED) app.

The ratio of available guys when compared to Grindr was 200% more found in the HeeSay app.

The Hornet app had hardly any people posting.

Good luck and enjoy

Would definitely agree that HeeSay is the app to use in Vietnam. way way more guys in there than on Gridr, both for free or MBs.

Actually, during my current trip I got to meet two hot Viet twinks both in HK and Japan through HeeSay.

Would suggest getting the premium version as it has a very high amount of ads. Has a few options for premium, but overall is pretty affordable.

Nadam (Adam) spa. 25-40 USD massage (depends on massage type) + min 20 USD tips (paying at time of checkout, in room you just fill number in bill). You can't off, only onsite "games". If you are below 60yo and aren't fat, then I advise to visit labyrinths and pool at first, you may get everything for free there - a lot of willing guys. Peak hours are 3pm - 6pm, by weekends - from noon.

Gogo not exists in VN, even host bars don't exist. Gay bars and clubs in VN are meeting places.

HeeSay is most populated app. Typically, after landing in HCMC, at first 24 hours I receive about 100-120 offers of "massage". Highly advise to discuss service clearly in advance, because you may get exactly massage and nothing besides massage. Prices vary and are negotiable, videocall is a must since HeeSay is known for fake photos in profiles.

Thanks for the info everyone.

I am on HeeSay and I've used the explore function to check out the profiles around where I will be staying. I did notice that there are a lot more twink bottoms in that area. Is that generally the case in HCM? If I'm more into hunky tops, any recommendations of massage places to go?

I will definitely checkout Nadams too, and thanks @Moses for the info on the rates. Appreciate it a lot.

The cruising area (or the labyrinth as Moses calls it) is actually small compared to other gay saunas in Asia and it gets pretty congested. The cabins are of different sizes, so there is also group action going on in the bigger ones. The only caveat with them: they are no mattresses, only a bolster pillow. It's true that they have a wooden floor but I still recommend doing everything standing up , otherwise you might actually need a Really good massage after playing in there.

My favorite is the upper-most floor which is pretty much one big dark room (albeit a bit too dark).

I prefer to see what and with whom I'm playing, so my preferred places are shower cabins across the site, they have locks

Hey guys.

Just thought share a brief report on my recent trip.

Bars

I went to 2 bars during my weekend trip; Frolic & ChinChin. It was pretty packed on Friday night in both bars, celebrating the start of Pride month.

On Friday night, I was at Frolic first, before going to ChinChin later that night. Frolic had 2 gogo boys dancing as opening for the drag show. The crowd was kind of a mixed bag in terms of age and local vs foreigner. People tend to stick to their own click at first, until the alcohol and whatever they were taking in from the balloons kicked in. Frolic also has an entrance fee for Saturday night (around 100k VND, I think), which does not include drinks.

I only went to ChinChin on Friday night, and it was pretty late by then but the crowd was still pretty big. The vibe I get from ChinChin is that it's more for the "bougie" crowd. The bar's set up gives off a more upscale feel, and the guests actually dressed up decently. Again, people tend to stick with their own crowd, and there are more locals here with maybe the odd few foreigners. But the guys were, IMHO, hotter than the those in the Frolic crowd 😅.

Sauna

I only went to one sauna, Nadam. It was a Saturday evening (around 5pm) and there was pretty big crowd, with varying ages. Though, I seem to be the only non-oriental looking guest from what I can see. A lot of guys with great bodies there. The crowd tend to be more reserved, with a few guys giving a grope if they're interested, to see if you are too. There is a pretty well equipped gym, and the layout of the sauna provides for different areas (multiple lounging areas, saunas (including steam room, hot & cold jacuzzi) are on the ground floor, with the mazes on the first and secord floor. The entry fee was less than 100k VND if I'm not mistaken. Saunas are not really my thing but if you enjoy it and are into oriental asians, this would be a good place for you.

Online MBs

I received several offers on the apps (Grindr and HeeSay), ranging from 500k VND to 2 mil VND depending on what you want. There are surprisingly more gym fit MBs than the twinkier guys.

My experience hiring one of the guys was, unfortunately, not that great. The guy looked masculine with a gym fit body in the pics, but in person he was more effeminate. When I showered, he went ahead and helped himself to the snacks and drinks I had in my room...without asking me. I didn't realise it until after he left. The service itself was rather mediocre, so all in all, it wasn't really a good experience.

But I am eagre to come back and explore a bit more of the HCM scene. I met several amazing local guys over coffee and some of the expats I met at the bars. Looking forward to my next trip.
