You won’t find this Rach Gia Bun Rieu in your travel guidebook. I came across it by chance too. What happened was that I rode 130km from Can Tho and reached Rach Gia at 3pm+. Checked into this US$5.50 hotel and rushed out looking for food. While the trick is to always look for a busy restaurant, I thought this was going to be difficult given it was way pass meal time at 3pm+. Hence I was really surprise and glad to chance upon this small shop streaming with customers…

I paid only US$5.50 for this room in Phuong Hong Hotel in Rach Gia. For this price, I got cable TV, 2 fans, an attached bathroom and free WIFI connection. The toilet, which is outside my room, is only 5m away…

Pictures of Rach Gia taken mainly at the Rach Gia Harbor. GREAT place in Rach Gia to catch sunset, the Vietnamese doing their evening exercise or the locals relaxing by the wharf. Sometimes an attraction in Vietnam don’t have to be limited to just temples and museums. Go to where the locals congregate, try mingling with them and you might just have a good time too…

I am going to share a few ‘takeaways’ of Can Tho with you. But I need you to know that I’m not an expert of Can Tho and I don’t stay in Can Tho. My record stands at only 3 days 2 nights of being there. This means Can Tho has a lot more to offer than what I’m going to write next. I only hope this information can help you a little in your planning for a trip to Can Tho…

Cai Rang Floating Market is the biggest floating market in the Mekong Delta. You will love everything about it: the sight, sound and even taste – sip Vietnamese coffee while onboard to make the experience more authentic. Hopefully my pictures below of the Cai Rang Floating Market can do this place justice…

I only have 1 problem with this Tan Phuoc 3 Hotel in Can Tho, Mekong Delta: there was a mild ‘stinky feet’ smell throughout my recent 2 days stay. I hope it had happened only when I was there because there are 2 good reasons to check out the Tan Phuoc 3 Hotel:

Pictures taken at the Can Tho Park of the Mekong Delta. The Can Tho Park is located right along the lively waterfront and it makes for a VERY VERY (no typo here- really VERY!) pleasant stroll
