Bro Isleboy, thanks for your generous sharing.

OIC. No room charge but the respective girls will b "responsible" for the min drink / snacks expenses.
As I'm likely going with only a total of 2 pax for a one-time experience, unlikely able to finish the bottle if we open one.

Are the Hanoi KTV managers tourist-friendly (trustworthy), will they chop carrots?
Was hoping to gather info here so we don't get taken for a ride during the visit.

May I enquire what's the SOP expected in the room?
I don't sing, so nothing to do in room if no action from girls. LOL.
If ask manager to arrange for lapdance or BJ, what's the expected price /tip to pay girls?
How much to tip the manager?

If can bring girl out of KTV anytime, would it make sense to leave early if planning for LT to have more intimate time?

- The girl will keep opening beers and the snacks cost too. No room charge. (not the same for all but manager will explain) We don't normally drink beer so we always open a bottle.
2) Will mamasan arrange for girls to parade in room for u to choose?
- Manager (don't call them mamasan) will arrange for girls if you tell her you want girls. Yes to parade.
3) Girl Sit down fee is VND 500K for 3 hrs?
- Not necessarily that fee, ask manager.
4) If want to change girl, how does it work?
- Ask manager to bring in another lineup of whoever available, you can specify qualities and she will know who to bring.
5) read in one of the post the girls can strip naked in room for VND1.5m. Is this the norm for all KTVs. What are the actions expected in room and charges applicable?
- In room at most BJ, can't get further. It's also not the norm, you kinda have to tell manager you want that.
6) are there extra charges to take girl out before KTV closes (bar fine)?
- No, the quoted fee is what it is. It's slightly different from Singapore system here, you don't buy out the sessions as they aren't guaranteed sessions and they're not really working there.
7) current charges for ST VND3.5m and LT 5.5m? LT how many shots?
- I would say 3m and 5m. They will ask for more then ask for car ride fee. By the way, they have a local Grab system which is way cheaper, so don't be an idiot. LT generally is understood to be 3 shots and generally understood that they leave at 8am but here YMMV. Most will guarantee the 1 shot... unless you are continuous supporter and or it so happens they are horny and you are their type, it's the same all over the world. They know you won't see them again so why bother. I have had a lot better luck than most bros I travel with though so that's why I say YMMV.

When in doubt just ask the manager, she's there for a reason and on top of that you're going to tip her a little at the end. Also, here, the tip is different from what you pay the girls and she doesn't really expect it as she takes a cut from the girls. You do tip the waitstaff though. It's different from SG as well, SG is too expensive.
