Vietnam's Tay Ninh Police Bust Prostitution Network Across Six Massage Parlors: 10 Indicted Over 1.5 Million Dong Tickets
Police in Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam, announced on November 9 that criminal and mobile police units had simultaneously inspected six massage establishments across the province and uncovered a cross-parlor prostitution network. The provincial investigative police have opened a case and indicted 10 people for harboring prostitution; all 10 have confessed, and the investigation is continuing.
The six establishments are Hoang Gia 1 in Gia Loc ward, Hoang Gia 2 in Go Dau ward, Tieu Tien Nu in Truong Mit commune, Thuy Cung in An Tinh ward, Thuong Hai 7 in An Ninh commune and Nhu Y in Trang Bang ward. Police found the same method at all six: managers sold customers 'tickets' priced at 1.5 million Vietnamese dong each and arranged for female staff to provide sexual services inside the massage rooms. For each ticket sold, the owner of the establishment supplying the attendant received 500,000 dong.
Six managers, aged 19 to 44, were caught in the act at the premises. Initial findings identify Pham Van Thuy, 37, of Ho Chi Minh City, as one of the organizers: he opened his first parlor in Truong Mit commune in March 2025 and later another in Gia Loc ward. Hoang Van Bon, 38, who managed Hoang Gia 1 from January to August 2026, left and opened the Nhu Y parlor on his own.
Tay Ninh, in southern Vietnam on the Cambodian border, is home to the Cao Dai Holy See, the province's best-known landmark. Police said they are still clarifying each suspect's role in the network and will handle the case according to law.
