Discussions Pacofernando took part in

I’m starting a discussion about guides in the Mekong Delta because we’ve just finished our trip in this region and had a hard time finding a French-speaking guide. We had Thanh—she speaks French really well and travels all over the delta region, including Ho Chi Minh City. She’s super friendly and flexible. I recommend her wholeheartedly. If it can help someone... Feel free to contact us for her number.

Hi everyone, has anyone been to the delta recently and has up-to-date info on the floating markets? We’ll be there at the end of February 2026 and would love to visit one—touristy is fine as long as there’s activity and it’s not deserted. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi, We’ve planned a week in the delta, but sometimes I wonder if that’s not too much… We’ll be there in early February, and the idea is to take a taxi straight from Saigon Airport to Ben Tre. I’m counting on 3 nights to recover and adjust after the long trip. Then I was thinking of Sadec, Can Tho, Chau Doc, Ha Tien, and back to Saigon for 3 nights before a flight to Hoi An. We’ve got 6 weeks total, so we have a bit of time. After reading different travel stories, the destinations in the delta seem a bit repetitive—I keep seeing the same excursions. On the other hand, I also think having time is a chance to get to know the local life a little better. My question really comes down to this: for those of you who travel at a relaxed pace, do you have any tips? I’ve heard the floating markets aren’t that interesting anymore. Also, motorbikes aren’t our thing. Thanks

Bonjour à tous, actuellement sur siquijor, nous avions prévu de rejoindre palawan depuis cebu. Le problème est qu'en regardant les vols je m'aperçois que les vols directs n'apparaissent plus et qu'ils sont donc surement pleins.... Connaissez vous un autre moyen de faire ce trajet le plus simplement, en evitant uqne escale par manille qui nous ferait perdre trop de temps ? merci pour vos retours
