  • It's about 1.5-2hrs each way. Normally, they'll take you on a small boat tour through the rivers; visit the orchards, beekeepers, coconut candy workshops; listen to traditional music show; visit some religious sites
  • Pickpockets are still a nuisance but not as common as before, the skills are somehow lost (/s). You should be more wary of the motorbike gangs, they'll grab your phone, wallet/purse, or necklace and ride away, sometimes cause accident to the victims.
  • 4-5 days is plentiful. You may want to take the red open deck hop on hop off bus for a city tour, but it's southern Vietnam so bring lots of sunscreen
  • 15k is the standard point rate, they planed to push it to Cat5 before the pandemic so enjoy it while it lasts
