Frequently asked questions
When is Lunar New Year 2027?
The first day of Tết falls on Saturday, 6 February 2027. Companions' availability around these days tends to fill up early, so book or post a request a few weeks ahead.
What does a family-occasion companion do on a trip home?
Your companion comes along as a friend: chatting on the way, joining a meal or new-year visit with relatives present, and making family gatherings less awkward. The scope, dress code and schedule are written in the booking; every service on ThueMi is legal, non-sexual social companionship.
How much does a Tết companion cost?
Each companion sets an hourly, per-session or per-day price within ThueMi's limits (per hour 30,000₫ to 3,000,000₫). Travel, tickets and separate rooms are written in the booking along with who pays. You pay the companion directly and pay no fee to ThueMi.
Can a companion come along for several days?
Multi-day bookings never include sharing a room. The companion stays in a separate room, and who pays for it must be agreed in the booking before you book.
How do I stay safe when meeting a companion for the first time?
Choose an ID-verified companion, meet in a public place such as a station or café, keep all messages on ThueMi and share your live location with family. Bookings have an SOS button; in an emergency call 113. ThueMi is for people aged 18 and over only.
