Travelling in Vietnam on a budget and getting to see all the sites, here is one we recommend. My Tho is just a small city outside of Saigon or Ho Chi Minh city. It's yet to be found and offers countless hours of beauty and scenery.
Information: For most tourists that are travelling to Southern Vietnam, there are many destination spots and "Must Sees". One of the less known but Amazing sites is just tucked in the corner of Ho Chi Minh City offering a Can Tho experience without ever needing to spend the 3 hours to get to Can Tho. Can Tho is known for its morning Floating markets and river roads. My Tho offers the same morning floating market and river road tours with less headaches and wasted travel time.Location: 60 kilometers Southwest from the middle Ho Chi Minh City and Pham Nhu Lao backpackers area.
Transportation: Expect a 1.5 hour bus ride and cost is anywhere from $7.00 to $10.00 USD to get there and back. Going as a group? Consider renting a taxi van. Air conditioning, saved time for a couple of extra dollars is worth your investment and GREAT for your Asia travels on a budget.
Costs: Besides transportation costs, a tour with a group is estimated at $7.00/person or a chartered boat will cost roughly $55-75/tour (5-6 hours). Lunch is extra and although there is an extravagant restaurant that can cost $15.00 a plate, I recommend the cheap CHEAP boat food. Noodles, veggies, fruits and rice bowls. A dollar or 2 will go a far ways here.
