How it works
Storefronts on Trần Phú street and the adjacent backpacker streets advertise massage packages at 100,000–150,000 VND per hour on boards outside but charge three to five times that amount once the session is complete, citing premium oil, "therapy grade" products, or a surcharge for the specific therapist. In some establishments the initial low-priced service is deliberately poor, then a more expensive "upgrade" is pushed mid-session when the customer is already partially undressed.
