Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Just got back from TP Long Xuyen capital of An Giang province last week...the place is so peaceful and ppl just go on with their life...my local fren told me that iphone 5s can be used on the road and not worried snatched away.

seafood and fruits are cheap...much cheaper than hcm and cost about half the price...had a durian there about 2kg for 75k dong.

bus ride is 5hours...and many ben xe mien tay buses go there from hcm...I took Hung Cuong bus (pick me up from my hotel) and paid 140k VND...every hour departure...the bus travel from HCM to Chau Doc and you can alight along the way

had to pass the following towns/provinces- district 6, district Binh Tan, Bin Chanh, Tieng Giang, Vinh Long, Dong Thap, then An Giang...bus need to go on ferry to cross the river...ride is 5 - 10mins...^^



weather - temperature bewteen 19-31 degrees Celsius...cool air whole day from Nov - Mar....plenty of bridges and the whole city is surrounded by water...^^

Traffic - light to moderate compare to hcm.





Hotel - 2 star around 230k.
