What a great vid Eddy, one of your best... Like you, not in to LBs but, yup, from the outside look good... I'll leave it at that. Cheers mate... And thanks again!
Thanks Edward great vid.Had another trip planned for Saigon in March then the Corona and Cancer.Oesophageal same as Kev’s recovering now from surgery and watching your vids is a real tonic for the blues.
Where would you visit and stay for 3 months for your first visit to Vietnam, say for a quiet night life and a safe area for plenty of exercise in day ???
One of my favorite places on earth! Edit: YOLO (You Only Live Once) used to be in the park but too many drunk tourists were getting hit by cars crossing the street. So they are now at 1 Bui Vien. They are both prime spots so I think YOLO's owners must be very connected.
Thanks Ed. Another great video. Been thinking about a Vietnam trip and this video was great motivation to start looking at plans once the world settles down. Cheers!!
Great video Eddie. Appreciate the distraction from my all too boring current routine. Can't wait to visit Saigon. Would enjoy a cold beer with a familiar face. Take care. All the best. Mitch
Really enjoyed that. Thank you! Never been, but plan too. Cheers! Yes lady boys: I always thought of a great T shirt.....Chang! Too much can get you in the shit!!! 55555
I went to Saigon for six consecutive years, 2000 to 2005, and visited Lost in Saigon many times. It was called Backpacker Bar on my first trip. There was also another bar up the street that I used to frequent called Guns 'n Roses. Had a mural of Axl Rose on the wall.
Hey Eddie, whenever I'm in Saigon I always order Tiger Crystal beer. It's a very light beer that tastes like Coors Light to me. I'm pretty sure it's not your cup of tea. I've seen you drink those dark beers in your other videos. So, how did you like it? I bet you think it tastes like water. LOL. Nice video Eddie. I can't wait for your next video.
@@STEADY599 - I'm good. In the middle of a lockdown here in Hermosa Beach (Los Angeles). Do you ever travel out this way? I'll take ya out for burgers and beer.
Hey Eddy, Like you say the cheap and nasty stuff has some thing. I agree100% .I was in DaNang, but not for nightlife or bars there...In Saigon, Did you see Ladyboys during day time as well, shopping or mixed up with locals...? Are they accepted by the locals like it was once in Pattaya?
Cracking video Eddie, wow it certainly seems to have changed a lot since I was there a few years ago. I don’t remember seeing many ladyboys either. Thanks for a great look around, videos like this really help to brighten up these strange staying at home days.
Not trying to egg you on here Eddy but after just 3 mins 20 I was laughing out loud. ;-] You say it as it is without any PC cxxp. 20 stone wife....;-]. love it. If you could press the pause button on a particular year, when would you say was YOUR best year or 3 spent in Saigon? Past its best now??? For OUR age group? 50,s. I love how you appear to be non judgemental. A great attribute anyone can have. ;-]. Jeez, those ladyboys sure could get some straight guys tempted eh? ;-]. Saigon Mafia Mercs driving thru?? . Bloody great vlog mate. This kind off place sucks when in our 50,s until you,ve had a few and then we feel like we are also young again. ;-]. Cheers for a great 18 min nightlife vlog. ;-]
Hi, Ian. My first visit to Saigon was around twenty years ago. Then went to Phuket when it was still a good place. That must have been my best year. So damn good! Hope all is well, mate.
@@STEADY599 oh yes...20 years ago we were a good age and things seemed great. And in a lot of cases they were. We just know too much now and the fun has been lost in some ways but we can still find new and great things to discover on our travels Eddy if we try. Although I/we only travel in SE Asia for one month a year. I wish I had chosen to get a trade and work 6 months full on like you. You.ve chosen a route to a seemingly great life style mate. Well done. 👍👍👍
Yes Eddie, around 1995 I remember Bui Vien area as cheap backpacker guest house and cheap tour companys. Not much older guys with a local girlfriend. And thanks for the video. As soon as the scamdemic gets over I will fly to Saigon.
Nice Video Ed. You are going for it in Saigon while some are doing the same old thing w some over weight wife 🤣 That is great brother.My girl took me there one night we where is Saigon. We sat at one of the big lounge’s outside area. Overpriced beer and oysters. Lots of eye candy.We are like you,It’s a one time thing.Better food and better people across town in a little mom and pop place. Right outside our Hotel and down a couple side streets is where the massage places are.Looked safe and the girls all gave me a come here wave. I already had my hands full.But it’s differently interesting. Close to the Van Hanh mall.Okay I said enough.You guys can feel it out when you get there Lol Cool cheap hotels and food / cafes around. Real deal. Not like walking street or the western hotels in District 1.
1. Can you stay in the area I.e hotels ? 2. Is it better than kohsan rd? 3. Going rates for ST/LT ? 4. How much taxi to that road from airport 5. Do they have money changers ? 6. MOST important do hotels allow ladies back to the room for no joiner fee?
Nothing like cow boy only the illuminations, no go go bars and most of the " normal bars " are for back packers and couples. A few girly bars but they are mostly clip joints getting you in to buy over priced girls drinks. Some good massage places down the side streets. Pasture street is better for p4p
Hi, mate. I have videos on my list where I've had to share ad revenue for a live band playing a popular song or just ten seconds of copyright in the background.
Steady, not my sort of place I’m afraid- alright for the younger clientele and back packers I would say, don’t see many older people knocking about (our age) similar to Koh san road in Bangkok and walking Street in Pattaya - I think Phnom Penh looks a much better prospect, I need to visit. Stay safe Ed.
If you’re looking for a shag pad 10 mins walk from Bui Vien then check Rivergate Residence condos. Good pool, gym. I stayed a month for £560. Just over the bridge on the D1/D4 border. 🤪
The food in Vietnam is sensational. Some of the mom and pop stores with plastic chairs serve delicious food at ridiculously cheap prices. Just remember eat where there are lots of little brown faces and you will do OK. Great Asian food, Western food not so good, but if I want a steak I have a nice one in Oz.
Thanks Eddie for posting this in such a hard time stuck at home , I love the music at the very first of this video . and I am with you my friend I cant stand sweet bastard caroline either lol how can you always tell they are ladyboys other than checking ID ,or coping a feel ? some are very hard to tell lol
I think a week would be too long for me, but 2 or 3 days 👍 Meat draw ffs, I bet there’s not many a them in the local working men’s clubs nowadays 🤣 Keep steady Eddie 🙏
Been traveling to south Aisa for 30 year's. It's differently a little difficult which girl to Ladyboy. Very nice video of Saigon going back to where it was 50 years ago. Party town
Good of you to mention Allez Boo .. that's the bar I always return to at nights, not too far from Bui Vien and much quieter and chilled out than the mayhem of Bui Vien. Tripadvisor reviews say it's a tourist trap, the food is crap, and you gotta watch your change. I never ate there so I can't comment, but I was never short changed. It's good to sit outside there in the early hours of the morning with a beer, looking onto the road. They will get you a nitrous oxide balloon if you ask them..I had a few on my last visit..i'm 50 years old and should really know better, but what the hell, i'm on my holidays. There are always rough looking African Freelancers wandering around at that time, I feel quite sorry for them because I doubt they are treated well by whoever runs them, and they don't seem to get many customers. I was due to go to Thailand and Saigon later this month, cancelled now of course..but I look forward to sitting outside Allez Boo again sometime soon !
I went there when it very first opened to tourism about 20 years ago. I didn't know about this street then. Everything closed down at night time. but I managed to get pick-pocketed
Graham I am 55 and always find loads of places to post up, have a cold one or three, strike up a conversation and maybe have a spliff of two. Great place, it will be interesting to see how it has changed when I return.
@@grahamhill9499 Yeah Graham, it is not just the stunning ladies, the wonderful food, great beer, wonderful prices, but also the freedom. The freedom to put a girl on the bum and not end up on sexual assault charges, or to have had 4 drinks instead of 3 and still ride (safely) or the ability to sit in a crowded bar and enjoy a smoke. Free Vietnam, not like police state Australia.
Great one Eddie. Had me rolling about with the Sweet Bastard Caroline bit! Thanks for sharing and brightening up these dark times mate.
Cheers, Den. Good to hear from you.
"Twenty stone nagging wives...and best of luck with the meat draw" - hahahaha! Eddie what a classic line...too right mate! Another great video.
Cheers, mate.
20stone nagging wife's 😂😂😂😂 best line ever 👏👏👏👏

Cheers, mate.
OMG! Love the commentary. Hope you are doing well. BTW, you got me hooked on that Lamb's Navy Rum.
Cheers, Lawrence.
Nice video.....Was in Saigon last month, missed this place.....but I’m 67 and go to bed early...will go back next year, Saigon is nice....
Where would you visit and stay for 3 months for your first visit to Vietnam, say for a quiet night life and a safe area for plenty of exercise in day ???

In Vietnam, Saigon is the best for women!
Nice one Eddy, defo need to give Saigon a go 😃🍻

Really enjoyed that. Thank you!
Never been, but plan too. Cheers! Yes lady boys: I always thought of a great T shirt.....Chang! Too much can get you in the shit!!! 55555

Great to hear from you, Paul.
Where do you get the music? It’s lovely
It's from Wondershare Filmora library
@@STEADY599 nice
Cheers for the Video Steady.. I was on that street Nov 2019, and it was excellent. What's the music that you play at 6:29?
Hi, Ray. It's called 555 from UA-cam Audio Library.
Create video ad never seen before don't know how I missed that one.what is the name of that street where you get the cheap beer.
This video features Bui Vien Street and surrounding streets.
@@STEADY599 thank you ED
Great vid Ed.
Thanks, mate.
Great vid! Brought back some good memories. When was this filmed? I was there in late February and absolutely loved it. Will defo be going back.
Hi, Paul. Filmed last month.
Great video mate .. catch you up one day in pattaya .. in back in new Zealand now but have a condo and stay in pattaya normaly over our winter

I went there a few years ago. Not on this tour.
Another top vid Eddie
Thanks, mate.
Edward,which one you more like it,Thailand or Cambodia?
I like both, but Thailand has more to offer
20 stone wife and the best of luck with the meat draw! Roaring with laughter at that. Cheered me up no end. Keep em coming.
Cheers, mate.
"Good luck with the meat draw" haha , brilliant :)

I was on this street exactly 5 years ago and seems to of changed allot
Nice one steady Eddie (:
Hi Eddy could you let me know the name of the last background music you use in this video? I love it
I believe it's Perfect Muse Black Goldie. I got it from Wondershare Filmora.

Hi, mate. It was filmed last month. I wouldn't like to see how it is now.
Sweet caroline, i cant agree more, great vid.
Greetings Sweeney. What's the opening track?..♨️
1. Can you stay in the area I.e hotels ?
2. Is it better than kohsan rd?
3. Going rates for ST/LT ?
4. How much taxi to that road from airport
5. Do they have money changers ?
6. MOST important do hotels allow ladies back to the room for no joiner fee?
Hi, Darren. Video coming soon will answer at least some of those questions.
Edward Sweeney many thanks readers like to know costs
The Thai Ladyboys have a motto:
"Never try...Never Know!!!"
Good times never seemed so good...Aye Ed haha
I love Vietnamese food they have the best soups and most beautiful people can’t wait to go. I’m a huge fan of the lady boys as well lol
Are the Ladyboys accepted as much as in Thailand?
Reminds me of soi cowboy mate , looks like a mongers paradise
I have never done Thailand, but it is a mongers paradise, with a few good girls thrown in for kicks.
Nothing like cow boy only the illuminations, no go go bars and most of the " normal bars " are for back packers and couples. A few girly bars but they are mostly clip joints getting you in to buy over priced girls drinks. Some good massage places down the side streets. Pasture street is better for p4p
@@nothere9551 thanks for the info. I always thought it wasn't a monger paradise. Pattaya is gold
ed i dont understand the copywright thing no matter how many times i read it ive had no music before and got hit go figure

about (our age) similar to Koh san road in Bangkok and walking Street in Pattaya - I think Phnom Penh looks a much better prospect, I need
to visit. Stay safe Ed.
Who would have known Eddie is such an expert on ladyboys ,just kidding enjoy his videos.
HaHa and best of look with the meat draw FANTASTIC. The highlight of the night for some people.
Cheers, Owen. Hope all is well.
Always appreciate the glimpse of the nightlife in exotic places. It's a good life, isn't it Ed?
Some of those bars are hostess bars. I just left Saigon 11/2021 after living there 3 years.
what a shithole. im going! :)
haha your videos are hilarious. keep it up mate
You said to check their ID cards. Are their ID cards in Vietnamese or English. Will you be able to read it?
how are prices compare to pattaya food drink and hotell
Vietnam is great value overall.
If you’re looking for a shag pad 10 mins walk from Bui Vien then check Rivergate Residence condos. Good pool, gym. I stayed a month for £560. Just over the bridge on the D1/D4 border. 🤪
How much for a shag?
What's the grub like in vietnam,is it mostly filled rolls and beef broth with noodles?I like both those things so I'd be alright.
The food in Vietnam is sensational. Some of the mom and pop stores with plastic chairs serve delicious food at ridiculously cheap prices. Just remember eat where there are lots of little brown faces and you will do OK. Great Asian food, Western food not so good, but if I want a steak I have a nice one in Oz.
@@nothere9551 thanks, its got to be on my go to list next year hopefully after the covid emergency is over.
Soon we get to travel again . Anywhere Cambodia this time .....
Just added Saigon to the travel destinations list. Thx Ed
Can’t beat Strongbow cloudy Apple like drinking water, take care stay safe mate

Is everything opened during corona virus in Vietnam
Isn’t it Ho Chi Minh now?
That always makes me laugh, the 20 stone wife and the meat raffle! You forgot the out of date chicken lol
You are right Eddie, we found some cracking cheap bars in the side streets ;-0
hello eddy. glad you're enjoying yourself ...
Stayed in Bui Vien st back in 1992, at night it was lifeless and pitch black,
I think a week would be too long for me, but 2 or 3 days 👍
Meat draw ffs, I bet there’s not many a them in the local working men’s clubs nowadays 🤣
Keep steady Eddie 🙏
Believe me, the meat draw is alive and kicking in the social clubs where I live! Very sad.
@@STEADY599 LOL
Obviously this wasn't last week. I think Phnom Penh appeals to me more.
I had no idea that Vietnam was within the current modernities. Good winds to its people
Really? Hanoi is like New York City. Totally modern and nothing but skyscrapers and elevated trains
Been traveling to south Aisa for 30 year's.
It's differently a little difficult which girl to Ladyboy.
Very nice video of Saigon going back to where it was 50 years ago. Party town
Eddie, those girls you were pointing out as LBs, they're actually real girls. I spotted a few LBs walked back and forth, but that's all you could see.
This place has been added to the list, the problem is that the list keeps getting longer.
Good of you to mention Allez Boo .. that's the bar I always return to at nights, not too far from Bui Vien and much quieter and chilled out than the mayhem of Bui Vien.
Tripadvisor reviews say it's a tourist trap, the food is crap, and you gotta watch your change. I never ate there so I can't comment, but I was never short changed.
It's good to sit outside there in the early hours of the morning with a beer, looking onto the road. They will get you a nitrous oxide balloon if you ask them..I had a few on my last visit..i'm 50 years old and should really know better, but what the hell, i'm on my holidays.
There are always rough looking African Freelancers wandering around at that time, I feel quite sorry for them because I doubt they are treated well by whoever runs them, and they don't seem to get many customers.
I was due to go to Thailand and Saigon later this month, cancelled now of course..but I look forward to sitting outside Allez Boo again sometime soon !
Good to hear from you, Brian.
I went there when it very first opened to tourism about 20 years ago. I didn't know about this street then. Everything closed down at night time. but I managed to get pick-pocketed
I went there almost 20 years ago. And I got pick pocketed, too.
There's a nice Sunday surprise. You buy the girl a drink, you take her home, you slip your hand up her dress , you're holding on to a tree trunk!
I looked down and I had a Chubby . Now my Therapist is really gonna think I’m a Trainwreck
Get an Asian Massage Therapist for Trainwreck🙃
Hi Eddie , it looks cool, but looks like it’s for the younger crowd,
The Vietnamese locals have more serious facial impression then Thais in this video
Lol, Strongbow cider.
Memories of Hong Kong port calls
Veddy veddy good video.
How do Saigon LB's rate as compared against Thai LBs?
Was I'm said on back in November. Loved it!
What s the price for lady there in comparation with Pattaya St or lt?
Are they any bars for the more mature taste,seems good for the young uns mate
Hi, Graham. Traveling of this kind is more for young ones, but you are only as you feel. I refuse to grow old gracefully!
Graham I am 55 and always find loads of places to post up, have a cold one or three, strike up a conversation and maybe have a spliff of two. Great place, it will be interesting to see how it has changed when I return.
@@STEADY599 good stuff mate ,im 53 still got some oof but like the tasty matures .good stuff eddie
And a wee smoke ,is it ok over there ,nothing better nice looking woman wee smoke and cold beer ,and plenty of time
@@grahamhill9499 Yeah Graham, it is not just the stunning ladies, the wonderful food, great beer, wonderful prices, but also the freedom.

Free Vietnam, not like police state Australia.
Lady boys in Saigon! Not my experience and I've been going there every year for fifteen years. No mention of Number Five bar, a Saigon institution?
Are there any LB bars or clubs in Saigon ?
