Find Hotels in Ben Tre, Vietnam

Teeming with plant insect life. Nice for nature lovers and photographers. People are very friendly compared to Ho Chi Minh city. Did not observe much of a night life but there is life going on quietly in the small villages and its nice to how life goes on. Plenty of dogs harmless but be careful especially those afraid of dogs.

People are very very friendly to tourists. Not too chaoslike traffic here. The only thing I was missing was that I would have liked to eat in a restaurant with a bit more european-style food but I did not find one. It has an easy access to the countryside where we loved to go biking and with scooters. If you do not need barlife or tourist attractions, this is just for you!

Vejen ved den nordlige bred af Mekong var ét stort blomsterhav på begge sider - især gule og orange blomster, det var et fantastisk syn, både om dagen og natten. Men her , som alle andre steder i Vietnam er der knallerter / motorcykler overalt, og virkelig overalt. Vi gik ind i den lokale markedshal, hvor der i stueplan blev solgt alle slags madvarer, grøntsager-blomster-kød m.m. og selv her indendørs kørte knallerterne ... På første sal, var der boder med tøj, hårpynt, sko m.m.så denne markedshal er absolut et besøg værd. vi var på flodtur, som måtte ændres lidt på grund af ekstremt lavvande. Efter et par timer steg vandet igen og det var imponerende at se, hvor hurtigt vandet steg. Området er også et fint område at cykle ture på egen hånd. Alt i alt et sted, hvor vi følte os både meget trygge og velkomne.

Ben Tre has a slow pace of life style which we loved, and it is not touristic at all. We met more nice people in the jungle, drink coconut juice directly taken from the tree and joined a local wedding.

You can hire a bike or moped and explore the countryside. We went to the supermarket and became a centre of interest as many locals are curious of Westerners. They liked to see what we brought and enjoyed seeing us.
