Saigon On Film is the curator behind PinGuide, a working guide to Ho Chi Minh City written for visitors who want the real version of the city. The work starts on foot — photowalks through District 1, Thảo Điền, and Bình Thạnh, shot on film. Each café, bar, and restaurant in the guides is a place visited in person, not pulled from a list. Film photography sets the pace: it means slowing down, looking closely, and documenting the city as residents actually use it. Every guide is built around how the city connects, and which spots sit a short walk from each other. The aim is simple. Help newcomers skip the tourist traps and find the Saigon that locals return to.
