Alcohol cost (to cover the room), mummy tip, waiter tip, and tips for each hostess who sits with your group.
Alcohol cost (to cover the room), mummy tip, waiter tip, and tips for each hostess who sits with your group. This would add up to be about S$300 SGD for the lowest amount. That's why we always go in groups of 3-4 to keep costs low.

'''What is butterflying? Why do KTV hostesses butterfly?'''
'''What is butterflying? Why do KTV hostesses butterfly?'''


Butterflying is the fact that girls have other rooms and guests to serve, and they will usually serve 4 rooms per session. They will spend 15 mins in your room before going to another and you can expect them to come back in a while. If you don't want her to go, you can ask to "book" her for a fee. Usually $400-$500.

'''How many KTV hostesses should I choose at a time?'''
'''How many KTV hostesses should I choose at a time?'''


It all depends on your budget and the selection of girls, and how busy they are. I usually choose 1 or 2 but choose as many or as few (0) as you'd like. Note that in most cases, 2 hostesses will not sit with you at the same time. When the girl currently sitting with you sees a newly arriving girl, the current girl will usually butterfly away to allow you to sit with the incoming girl. It's a pride thing.

'''What is the playability of the KTV Hostess?'''
'''What is the playability of the KTV Hostess?'''


The playability refers to how much the girl will do to you. Will she kiss you? Hug you? Let you see her tits and other unmentionable things?
Playability refers to how far the girl will go with you. Will she kiss you? Hug you? Let you touch her tits and other unmentionable things?  


'''Can I fuck the KTV hostess?'''
'''Can I fuck the KTV hostess?'''


The playable ones (high playability): YES. The not playable ones (low playability): also YES, but harder. Just go for the high playability girls, and make it easy for everyone. If a girl like that turns you down, it might be because she doesn't like you and/or she doesn't go out, but most often, it means that she is already planning to go back with another dude.

'''Are there any good girls in KTVs?'''
'''Are there any good girls in KTVs?'''


The cynical answer is No. The optimistic answer is very, very few.
We don't want to judge anyone here - there are a few true love stories, and girls who find themselves married to a guy who was their customer before. We'll leave it up to you to decide. More often that not, there are benign reasons why a girl would choose to work in a KTV, where it is highly frowned upon by their families in Vietnam.




Line 71: Line 73:
On the surface, mummies might seem quite superfluous. Just another expense you have to bear. But if you think a bit harder (or just visit a KTV without mummies), you'd realize just how important they are. Mummies serve as both the promoters of the club and, more importantly, the wranglers of girls in the KTV. They make sure guests have a good time, and that girls do not spend too much time away from the room.

In a large KTV, there might be a dozen or more mummies running around. They compete with each other to provide the best girls and ensure the girls give the best service. See our article about mummies for more [link to article about mummies].

What is the best time slot to go to KTVs? Should I go to the happy hour, night, or the late night session?
 
'''What is the best time slot to go to KTVs? Should I go to the happy hour, night, or the late night session?'''


Happy hours are cheap if you'd like to drink a lot, but girls don't come so early.  The upside is there aren't many customers too, and you might get the hostess to sit with you for a longer time. Night sessions are usually the most busy. Many girls will be there, but they will also have more rooms to serve. Late night sessions are tricky, on one hand, girls can be drunk, so it's easier to play. On the other, late night sessions may get cut earlier as the KTV prepares to close, usually at 2:30.

Line 103: Line 107:


Nope, KTVs are places where money talks. So if you have the cash, who cares? But you should still make an effort to be well-groomed, and take care of your personal hygiene. Girls don't like sitting with someone who looks like he hasn't showered for a week.

'''Am I too rich to go to KTVs?'''
If you're not "partying" with yacht girls (highest-end escorts who are basically actresses and models) in the penthouse of the tallest residential building in the city, then no, you're not too rich to go to KTVs.
