💡 Gameplay Summary

  • 2026 New Experiences:
    • G-Luxe (GLX): High-end dress venue, beauty ceiling, suitable for players pursuing extreme beauty, interaction is more like “feeling of being in love”

  • Bathing projects in Ho Chi Minh City are very rich. The easiest entry is well-known stores like Cherry on Japanese Street. The price is relatively inexpensive, mainly focusing on cost-performance ratio, and the difficulty is not high.
  • Most stores on Japanese Street can do full service. The model is basically paying the room fee first, and then paying a tip separately to upgrade. Generally, they will not overcharge. Tips are commonly around 2,500K VND.
  • Dragon Palace is now gradually replacing the simple model of Japanese Street, providing a richer and more luxurious set of experiences. It can be understood as the once high-end Dongguan-style sauna in China: complete supporting facilities, the process is close to all-in-one service.
  • If budget allows, it is highly recommended to experience Dragon Palace once, don’t miss it.
  • Dragon Palace is currently very popular, walking in usually requires waiting for a long time. This site provides deposit booking service, and the deposit can be directly deducted at the store, which is equivalent to the booking service itself being free. The deposit is mainly collected to prevent some people from booking casually and not coming, wasting quotas.

💡 Project Introduction

Beauty Hair Wash & Massage

The HCMC beauty hair wash & massage map has been organized before, and there will be a special summary article later. For those who are anxious to experience, you can refer to this map first: ThaiViet After Dark Vietnam HCMC Danang Hair Wash Store Map

The hot girl hair wash here is very famous. The girls in the store are dressed hotly, washing your hair and massaging you, but overall it is a green project, no sexual services, more of a style experience. If you have a particularly good impression of a girl, you can try to chat and ask for contact information, but the store does not allow direct sexual operations, and you can only play after meeting privately later.

Aodai Dragon Tendon (Kasai Massage) (Kasai Massage)

The unique Dragon Tendon (Kasai Massage) (Kasai Massage) service in HCMC is organized in cooperation between this site and the local “Cat Brother” team, which can be arranged every day. Because the project itself is slightly sensitive, basically no offline scene selection is provided. Friends who need it can contact customer service and pay a deposit, and then choose store or on-site service. For specific description, please refer to: HCMC On-site Service | Kato Room B&B and Dragon Tendon (Kasai Massage) Introduction

Beauty “Disabled Meal”

The “Beauty Disabled Meal” is a representative featured project in Southeast Asia. Girls will enter the private room to eat with you. When the waiter takes you into the private room, he will let you choose a girl first. They are dressed hotly, which is convenient for you to interact. The so-called “Disabled Meal” means almost no hands-on required the whole time, and the girl feeds you, which is a more stimulating experience. If you want to take the girl away, you can communicate by yourself. The store generally doesn’t give a unified quotation. This type of project can also be experienced in some KTVs. If you have a limited budget, you can directly ignore it.

💡 Travel TIPS and Precautions

📝 Visa Method

  • Currently mainly Visa on Arrival (VOA) and E-visa. VOA is suitable for deciding to travel 1–2 days in advance, but you need to get the approval letter through travel platforms like Fliggy before entering.
  • If you confirm your itinerary more than two weeks in advance, it is recommended to apply for an E-visa directly. The price is more stable, and temporary urgency will usually double. Try to plan in advance.

🏨 Hotel Booking

  • International chain hotels in Vietnam generally do not allow bringing girls back, which is one of the biggest differences from other countries.
  • It is recommended to prioritize B&Bs or ordinary 3-star hotels (mostly 350–$70.0 (≈500 RMB)/night). B&Bs with windows will have a better experience and more freedom. Just book directly on Airbnb.

💴 Currency and Payment

  • Local people mainly use cash, and USD and VND are both commonly used currencies.
  • USD is mostly used in KTV and other places, while VND is mainly for eating and daily consumption.
  • Settling simply in USD will lose a bit on the exchange rate. It is recommended to bring USD and change it to VND at local gold shops. The exchange rate in gold shops is generally better than ATMs.
  • Electronic payment is not very easy to use at present. If you travel with ThaiViet After Dark local guide group, we can help with changing money.

🚕 Taxi

  • Local taxi apps like Grab and Bee are very useful. If you don’t know how to say the address, it is recommended to order directly on the app.
  • Currently Grab does not support Alipay payment. It is recommended to bind a Visa or Master card in advance, which can reduce cash expenditure.

🗣️ Language Environment

  • English is quite useful in luxury hotels and popular attractions, but many places still mainly use Vietnamese. It is recommended to install a translation app.
  • In many entertainment venues, Chinese is actually more useful than English.

🛡️ Safety Issues

Vietnam’s overall security is relatively stable among socialist countries. As long as you abide by local laws and regulations and don’t make trouble, you generally won’t encounter too many problems.

🎭 Dark Tour Difference

There are many kinds of “dark tours” on the market, many of which come from Taiwan. They are essentially wind and moon travel groups. ThaiViet After Dark also has its own guided tour group. For specific description, please refer to the guided tour instructions. The overall difference is not particularly big. If it’s your first time traveling and you’re not good at exploring on your own, it’s recommended to find professional people to lead you, which will be more worry-free.
