Yeah, I've got to pay the table fee as well but it's also relatively cheap. One club charges $1.25 per table per hour, the other two that I go to are also $1.25 but per person per day. Tables themselves are decent quality, flooring at times not the best but more than adaquete.

Obviously table tennis culture in HCMC is incomparable to what (I would imagine) you find in any decent sized Chinese city but I think for a player just starting out this may well be one of the best cities in the world. Lots of clubs and lots of cheap coaches, so long as you can spot the hobby player trying to pass himself off as a coach to make some easy money off tourists.

In Shenzhen China, rent is expensive and many clubs have folded as a result, so a table fee of about $5-7/hour is not unusual. But that gets you an air-conditioned, individually barrier-ed court with the ubiqutous red flooring.
====================
Sounds like playing TT in the US is cheap.  Join a club, you pay an annual membership fee ($180 to $600 a year).  No table fee. You can play countless hours a year.

Here's a well-known club in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen that folded not long (a few months) after I took this picture early this summer. (You can't find these places unless you know. Well hidden behind the main streets.)

Even cheaper if you play at home in the USA. Because of house sizes, playing at home is very feasible here. And friends will drive themselves to your house...

You don't get to play a lot of different players.

In my experience, as many as you can handle ;)
And, if you invite one at a time, nobody else calls "next" on the table. You can practice in peace.
