Hi! Have only been there for short co trip.
You can check out the following website :

Personally, I think u can check out these places :
Ben Thanh Market (even though it is meant more for shopping, i think u can get some good shots around the area and market life)
Cu Chi Tunnels (a bit of history and some photo opportunity)
We stay at Windsor Plaza Hotel that time and it was not bad. And there are free transport to the other districts (Ben Thanh market area).
after yr shoot and when u are tired, can go epoch hotel's health centre/spa- cheap n shiok, can spend 4 hours in there...think is only USD16 excludes tips. sauna, facial, haircut & hiari wash, body massage, foot massage, pedicure/manicure....food n drinks...enjoy!
HCM city is a place of culture n there r many places of interests if u have e rite guide. I have a few frens living in Vietnam n am planning to go visit them again next year.E pple there r also very friendly as well...warm yet gentle.I love shooting there, at least will not get weird stares. :bsmilie:
Saigon is the affectionate old name of Ho Chi Minh city.
