Have just get on to this thread about HCM city in Vietnam. Wow...lots of posting, probably will take me quite a while to read all. Only read up to 36 pages, and the date was still quite outdated in Mar 2005.
Could someone familiar with HCM please help me out with following information while I try to speed up reading the posts, as I am running a little bit short of time.
Will be travelling to HCM this Wed the 5th. As I will be there only for a short business meeting, I thought of taking my wife along and return on Sat. Could anyone advise;
- What is the recommended decent hotel (4 or 5 star) in city that are convenient for shopping and food, that is for my wife
Heard Dist 1 is ok, pls advise hotel to stay and where should I book from?
- Where are the nice place to shop? Market and Dept store
- Where can we find nice chinese food there? Wife prefer chinese.
- Any nearby sightseeing place worth visit?
- Do they have spa or massage for girl?
- Is it safe to be in the street in the evening?
Sorry if the info are already in the thread, but haven't get there yet as most of it I read so far are for Chiong brothers, would love to have some quick fun but must find a way to seek excuse from CO. Any bro have recommendation on this will be welcome...will buy you drinks there...hahaha
Hopeful this trip will give me some idea of HCM, and prepare for my future trips as I might be seeing more of this town if the business succeed.
Cheers and will appreciate for any help rendered.
