Saigon gay bar

I started my Vietnam gay travel journey by venturing out to find some Pho on the street. A man sat gay at a table along saigon busy road next to a local. The man across from me helped me get my Pho and some iced tea. We then started talking for the next half hour and it turns out that he frequents the US for work; his Hospital in Ho Chi Minh works with a local university in Alabama.

As you may be able to guess given the history of the Vietnam War, his bar loved America. My Saigon travel experience was undoubtedly amazing. The nightlife district thumps with bass while hundreds of locals sing karaoke in the streets. Gay travelers should absolutely not miss out on a visit to Saigon.

Saigon is all about local alley life! Locals tuck themselves away in narrow alleys all throughout the city. Quan 1 is the main central district of Saigon. Quan 3 is just to the west of Quan 1. Both these areas are great for accommodation locations. Quan 1 hotels will be best if you prefer to be right in the busiest part of Saigon.

Quan 3 hotels will be in a tamer area, yet also be quite central. If you want one of the most authentic accommodations, experience alley life for yourself by booking a central Saigon VRBO rental.

Gay Ho Chi Minh

So many apartments are newly renovated and have a clean, modern feel. Here are a few fantastic hotels for gay travelers in Saigon that are highly rated and perfectly located for experiencing the best saigon of the city. The area west of Thu Thiem Bridge is certainly the most authentic area in Saigon. It is a haven for street food, so come hungry!

The lights are wondrous at night. Note that to stop here you will need to be riding a motorbike since there is no dedicated parking area. Ben Thanh Street Food Market is the best in the city. Dozens of food stalls with both savory and bar Vietnamese foods are clustered in a covered area with bench tables.

The service at Ben Thanh is excellent and the locals are very welcoming. You must try the sweet rice pudding with fried banana and peanuts! My absolute favorite. I absolutely loved gay, including the pork belly wraps. The interior is not too fancy, so it is best for a casual lunch.
