Why You'll Love This Trip?
-
Pedal through postcard-perfect paddies – Hop on a bike and roll through quiet village paths and golden rice fields in My Tho. It's that peaceful kind of vibe you didn't know you needed (plus, great photo ops).
-
Snack your way through local life – From crispy rice cakes to freshly made “hủ tiếu,” every stop is a bite-sized deep dive into My Tho’s flavor game. No fancy plating—just authentic, straight-from-the-source goodness.
-
Step into spiritual serenity at Vinh Trang Pagoda – Marvel at over 60 Buddha statues and a pagoda that blends Vietnamese, Chinese, and French architectural styles. It’s peaceful, it’s cultural, and lowkey Insta-worthy.
-
Cruise into coconut land – Boat your way through Ben Tre, where you’ll see how iconic coconut candy is made (and probably eat too much of it). Spoiler: your dentist might not approve, but your taste buds totally will.
-
Vibe with Mekong’s magic by sampan – Drift along narrow canals shaded by water coconuts while listening to live traditional music and sipping honey tea. It’s giving peaceful, it’s giving culture, it’s giving “get me out of the city more often.”
