Bulging with a population close to seven million people, free-spirited
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's largest and most exciting city. Tree-lined
boulevards with magnificent French villas, outdoor cafés, chic fashions, and
beautiful young people who never seem to sleep, make this "Paris of the East"
one of Asia's up-and-coming cultural and economic centers. Besides visiting all
the famous tourist spots, you'll have plenty of time for shopping, a visit to a
tailor (custom made clothes are very inexpensive), plus al fresco feasts of
mountainous platters of crab and other local delicacies. Gay Saigon is famous
for its nightlife, so don't miss a chance to go dancing at a local disco or
people-watching at a crowded, street-side bia hoi (fresh beer) shop. You'll also
enjoy a cruise down the placid waters of the Mekong River where you will visit a
floating city, explore pagodas, and visit local coconut confectioners. Arrive
any day of the week and stay three days or longer. Saucy Saigon will cast a
spell on you that lasts a lifetime.

What We Do
Purple Dragon is Asia's oldest, largest and most
respected tour operator specializing in programs for discerning gay and lesbian
travelers. All of our tours are private and include private transportation and
one of our legendary private guides. We do not offer group tours. The big
advantage to a private tour is, of course, that you do not have to put up with
other people or compromise your own schedule or activities to suit others in a
group. You can spend a bit more time at places that really matter to you, avoid
places that do not, and go at your own pace. We use gay-owned or gay-friendly
hotels wherever possible and show our guests the local gay nightlife where it
exists. You do not have to be gay to enjoy one of our all-inclusive tour
packages. A growing number of mainstream guests travel with Purple dragon
because they know they will get something better from a gay company.

Vietnam Vacations: Gay Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Southern Vietnam
Saigon's streets are decorated with plants and flowers
during Tet, the lunar new year celebration
Forget Ho Chi Minh City's notorious 20th century history. Today it is a
fun and beautiful place to spend part of your well-deserved vacation. Exploring
gay Saigon with one of our private English speaking guides is more like seeing
the sights with a local friend than being on a "tour."
There is plenty of evidence that Vietnam was once a French
colony
A
day trip to the Mekong Delta is included in our Saigon Sizzle program
