As long as u dont do balloon along the streets (ie. bui vien), u still can get it at shops/bars etc. Seems they more serious about banning vapes. (this was told by a friend who owns a bar in HCM)

Adding to the mix, I also heard that condo security guards might be working with the police and could even get rewards for reporting guests who bring Vietnamese girls back to their units.
Anyone out there able to confirm if there’s truth to these rumors? Curious to hear what you all think!

i saw some videos on douyin by some chinese supposedly living in HCM regarding the above, can't verify cos I don't usually stay airbnb and I'm not there right now.
