You’ll also be lucky to walk away from the clubs with your eardrums intact.

Envy

Envy Club

If your looking for the top spot to party, then look no further. Envy reigns supreme at the top with stellar nightly performances with famous DJ’s and singers, beautiful Vietnamese girls, and of course snobby and difficult managers, and bouncers.

Prepare to spend a fortune here though, as a bottle with a standing table will cost you 4 million at least!

There’s not much of a dance floor here unfortunately as tables fill up the area to make the club some extra dough.

However, you will find some of the hottest girls in all of the city hanging out here, usually with their rich Vietnamese boyfriends.

Trying to woo them won’t be easy, unless you can break into their social circle somehow.

There is an entrance fee unless you purchase a drink at the bar in front. Inside, you will find a lot of tables and not much of a dance floor neither.

There’s usually a live performance everyday of the week here.

Like most high-end clubs, the club promoters and managers can set you up with hostess girls that will keep you entertained and drink with you for a fee.

    Be aware that Indochina has some very virulent Sexually Transmitted Diseases which will give you a memento that lasts a long time and costs a lot to cure. SaiGon/Ho Chi Minh City ís a hot spot!

    Theft risk ís high (especially if the female chooses the accommodation-beware pimps); weapons of choice are knives and “funny” drinks. Hide your high value money in an unusual place in your clothing.

    Make a note of the number of any motorcycle used and take a photo ò you and the girl together (for a memento!). (29 years living in VN)
