Pham Ngu Lao Street is not just an old street with a quaint atmosphere. Its name comes from the Vietnamese general "Pham Ngu Lao". This street can be said to be the base camp of backpackers in Ho Chi Minh City, just like Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand, full of cheap backpacker hostels, souvenir shops, and travel agencies, creating a convenient environment where backpackers from all over the world can get everything they want.
But in fact, when you come to Pham Ngu Lao Street, you really don’t want to visit Pham Ngu Lao Street, but the parallel “Bui Vien Street”. Massage shops, 24-hour food stalls, nightclubs and bars with the loudest music, the noisiest nightlife area in Ho Chi Minh City is on “Bui Vien Street”, which is also the place where everyone talks about “dark enjoyment”. Pham Ngu Lao Street has changed a lot. Although it is still quite lively, many shops have closed down. What entertainment is there now? Piaoer has sorted it out for everyone in this Pham Ngu Lao Street guide.
How to get to Pham Ngu Lao Street?
Address: Đ. Bùi Viện, Phường Phạm Ngũ Lão, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam. Transportation: 20 minutes walk from City Hall and 15 minutes walk from Ben Thanh Market. Traffic along the way is very chaotic, so it is recommended to take Grab directly.
Although Pham Ngu Lao Street is the name of the street "Đường Phạm Ngũ Lão", in fact, the "Pham Ngu Lao Street" that everyone talks about is the area composed of Pham Ngu Lao Street and several surrounding roads. Pham Ngu Lao Street is a road close to the park. There are many cheap hotels and backpacker hostels along the road. It is also known as the "Backpacker District (khu Tây Ba lô)" and "Backpacker Street (Backpacker Street)". If you really want to visit the most lively pedestrian street, you have to go to the parallel "Bui Vien Pedestrian Street (Bui Vien)". In addition to normal nightclubs, bars, and massage parlors, the dark services in your mind are also here.
This time, Piaoer walked here for 15 minutes from Ben Thanh Market. She started from Bui Nguyen Pedestrian Street (Bi Van Pedestrian Street) on Google Map and walked all the way to the end, then turned to Pham Ngu Lao Street for a walk.
As soon as you enter the Biwen Pedestrian Street where bars are concentrated, you can feel the lively atmosphere here, the large brightly colored signs, and the low-frequency music that comes into your ears. The biggest impression the whole street gives me is the deafening music. It makes me want to wear noise-canceling headphones!
There are many different types of restaurants and bars on both sides of Biwen Pedestrian Street, such as this one which is more of a sports event type restaurant.
Bui Vien Street is really a "bar street". It is only 600 meters long, and the music in the shops on both sides is more arrogant than the other. It is very similar to Phuket Bar Street and Pattaya Walking Street where there are many women dancing. But the difference is that there are no transsexuals in Vietnam, and there will be no people who openly promote sex shows and show you very revealing photos on the street. I guess the customs of Vietnam are not as open as those in Thailand.
Bui Vien Street is a paradise for pedestrians. The whole road is like a large open-air party scene. Whether it is the low-table seafood restaurant that Vietnamese people love or the hookah bar that Westerners go to, you can come here to drink and chat.
Eating Vietnamese bread, spring rolls, shrimp cakes, and pasta in an open-air restaurant, accompanied by local beer Tiger, is also a favorite way for Vietnamese people to pass the time.
Many people come to Vietnam to experience the dark services, from the most basic hot girl hair washing (from 1,500,000 VND), to half massage (from 1,500,000 VND), full massage (from 3,500,000 VND), the age of the service providers is mostly in their 20s, the price will also be different according to different clothes, and the figure, skin, and face are all of super quality, and those who have needs can come to the scene to explore for themselves.
We wandered around Crazy Night and there was nothing left, so we turned right and headed straight to the parallel Pham Ngu Lao Street.
