Street hookers

Nha Trang

Warning: Prior to the Covid epidemic, there were ladyboys in Nha Trang. While they had not returned by the end of 2022, I encountered one from HCM province who appeared to suggest they hadn't forgotten the locations.  However, nothing could be documented so far. 

Nha Trang is the 7th city in Vietnam by population. It’s a fairly small city (less than 300,000 people) with a majority of Russian tourists but the only one with so many ladyboys hooking up in the streets downtown. The first time you enter a restaurant, if you are a Caucasian, the attendant will speak to you in Russian. It’s a peaceful “Russian Pattaya” like city. It’s also a nice place to go snorkeling, go fishing, have lazy time on the beach, spend time in Vinpearl Land and shag a few ladyboys.

If you search the web again and again, the only place where ladyboys were reported is near the Sailing Club in Nha Trang. This is amazing that the police managed to crackdown many places in the country except this one. Actually, 2 groups are operating now in this location. They both look for customers along  Trần Phú (the beach road) near the Sailing Club.






A first group used to hang at night in the square park across BiệtThự near the beach. They sometimes prefer to sit on the stairs near the entrance of the Citadines residence.

This is the largest group in Nha Trang. This group is like a gang that was leaded by a couple of old ladyboys In this group, you will find all kind of ladyboys from the young femboy newby in the business to the too old ladyboy including post operated ladyboys pretending to be real girls.




They usually ask for 1,000,000 VND for a short time (usually one hour). The quality of their service is not so high though. The leaders of the group take good care to bargain with you first as a customer, to tell you their prices and will take care that you don’t try to obtain lower prices from their younger mates. They also practice and teach their newby mates a few tricks in the room. The main one consists in asking the customer to shower because they fear bad smell, then to shower again and again to waste time then bargain for a condom (whereas they had promised BBBJ when in the street). One of them was pretty pleasant in the room but she joined the blacklist for her bad tricks. She seems to have been kept away by her clientele (without our blacklisting) since then.



A second group also operate it the same area. There appears it gathers alleged dissidents of the first group. They come later at night and stay one block further south near the Vinpearl Condotel andthe Star City. They are not so easy to find, but you will find 2 of them in the “trusted ladyboys” section Ly Ly and Nhi Trang. In case you can’t find them, it’s better for you to contact them in Zalo. Ladyboys in this second group ask for 500,000 VND for one hour and offer a good quality in the room. 







It’s better to know a couple more locations. In case you can’t invite one of these hotties to your hotel, they usually bring you to a nearby short time hotel . The price is 100,000 VND for a ST.



A few of the ladyboys of both groups live a hotel in the south of Nha Trang (Ocean Star Hotel, 55 Hoàng Diệu, Nha Trang), You can go and knock at their door in the afternoon if you know the room number or just try to catch one in the lobby.







Phú Quốc


Phú Quốc is one of the most touristic places in Vietnam although not so famous outside. You will meet Russian people over there but not only. You will find one of the best melting pot of tourists in Vietnam. Phú Quốc used to be a hidden paradise where real explorers like to go and have rest. Located in the Gulf of Thailand close to Sihanoukville, the weather and the sea remain beautiful all year long. A new resort with thousands of apartments has been built south of the new airport in the late 2010s. Probably expect to see Chinese tourists.

Ladyboys from HCMC and the area ask to go to Phú Quốc if you want to invite them for a LT. You can also go there alone (50 minutes’ flight from HCMC) and go for trips on your own. The ladyboy scene is mean but you can still find a few ladyboys if you are lucky in one of the unexpected places for street action.






Warning: The location described below was previously a site with limited activity. Its status has not been confirmed since the end of the Covid pandemic.

North of Dương Đông (the main city) the old airport was decommissioned, the facilities dismantled and the runway became a boulevard, Võ VănKiệt. Right at the intersection of this boulevard and and the road DT 45 ( Hùng Vương ), you will sometimes find local ladyboys waiting for customers at night. These are mainly young femboys and crossdressers. You never know whether they will be there or not . It seems they do show up on Fridays and Saturdays and also if the area is not busy for a market or a party. You’d better go there with a rental motorbike (the island remains fairly safe for driving) and you can bring your find either to your hotel/bungalow room (if possible) or along the former runway for a BJ. Prices are 500,000 VND for a short time and 200,000 for a quicky along the runway. Be ready to use Google translate.

Ladyboys usually wait for customers at night at the position indicated by the red cross






Rạch Giá

Rạch Giá is one of the ports to go to Phú Quốc, the main one being Hà Tiên 85 km westward. A few ladyboys were working there in 2013, in a park near the wharf where there are a few food carts at night and lots of women working the street. This was a second hand information that hadn’t been checked. If you go there, you might have a look at night. This should be somewhere around this island.
Having checked the area in 2022, there no more ladyboy in the area, just a GG freelancing on a motorbike in the street. The area seems to be a lost cause now. 



Đà Nẵng
A Vietnamese monger said :
"After 8pm, the first part of the road is the main road near the gas station (the section of the bridge is Hue crossroads). Those fears stand 1 drive. It's all ladyboys but they don't recognize  as ladyboys. Make girls right there... Easy to find. He went to the end of Ha Huy street. Turn right past the main field to go slowly back to the gas station."
Ladyboys are hooking up at a gas station that is located here  . (Công Ty Tnhh Xăng Dầu Thái Lộc). A few of these ladyboys pretend to be girls. Either they fear to show they are ladyboys or they are posties. Foreigners are recommended not to accept a price over 500 K.

The information was verified in 2022.
5 or 6 ladyboys  hang south of the roundabout at night. These ladyboys are posties and they pretend to be girls. One of them is Bling (see above). 
They ask for 500K to go to rooms (or pretended ST hotels) in lanes nearby. Sessions last 20 to 30 minutes. The atmosphere is dull. It can be better to bargain a one hour St in your otel for 700K. 
It's not worth pushing to Đà Nẵng to monger but if you are there, you can take a walk to the place and see.

Ladyboys working in bars


No bar can be called ladyboy bar since ladyboys work in bar mixed with girls (GGs). However, you can find easily bars with ladyboys in HCMC. According to the law, containing prostitutes, organizing prostitution, brokerage of prostitution, abusing business services to engage in prostitution are strictly prohibited. Therefore, you can’t bar fine a ladyboy from a bar. That doesn’t mean that ladyboys you will meet in bars won’t propose to follow you to your hotel. Be discreet, invite a friend and make no trouble. 

Bars underwent significant changes post-pandemic. Some remained closed when I last checked in 2022, and it appears that additional closures have occurred since then. The following list provides a glimpse of the past scene, offering an idea of the location but is likely to be entirely outdated.






SENORITA BAR    






8 Đường Huỳnh Thúc Kháng, Phường Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Hô-Chi-Minh




This bar is owned and managed by a ladyboy, Kate. Ladyboys work in this bar. Kate is very strict on one point in order to avoid troubles with the police : no one in the staff is allowed to meet customers outside the bar. It’s a place to go if you enjoy a friendly atmosphere with ladyboys but don’t want to go for a ST with one. 



Many bars have ladyboys working for them in this area. Another approach consists in having the contact with the ladboy working there. Ladyboys are paid on comission only. Except in Senorita, they feel free to go out without bar fine (bar fine doesn’t exist in Vietnam) and make an extra.
