Find Hotels in Cau Ke, Vietnam

The Suonsia Homestay was the undisputed highlight of my two-week Mekong Delta tour. Getting there was a bit of an adventure, as I thought it was located in or near Tra Vinh City: it turned out to be about 40 kilometers to the south west (75 minutes on motorbike - note that the address is 22/2 Street 2, not 222!), on the outskirts of the sleepy provincial town of Cau Ke. The location is superb, in the middle of palm-fringed paddy fields, fruit orchards and greenery dotted with small villages - truly the Mekong Delta at its finest! Accommodation is simple but modern and fully sufficient, the Khmer/Vietnamese food absolutely mouthwatering - and plentiful, enough to feed a whole family! The most memorable part however was the host family itself: incredibly warm and welcoming, they really made me feel at home straight away. They proudly showed me around their lush garden, took me on bicycle tours in the surrounding countryside, and taught me a lot about the Khmer-Vietnamese culture and way of life in the Delta. All in all, if you're looking for a genuinely memorable experience off the beaten track, look no further!
