Brimming with lush forests, bustling riverbanks, and brilliant temples, the border town of Chau Doc is a compelling spot to experience the fusion of cultures and colours that make up Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. Chau Doc may surprise you with its hidden treasures: mysterious wetlands, ethnic Cham villages, and atmospheric temples. This small town has fascinating stories to tell: you might need to stay a while to hear them all.
Chau Doc has two seasons: rainy and dry. The rainy season begins in May and lasts until October, with August to November being the high water season, perfect for visiting the Tra Su forest and floating villages. From November to April, it’s sunny and dry in Chau Doc with blue skies and pleasant breezes.
To get to Chau Doc, travellers from major cities in Vietnam can fly to Can Tho Airport. From there it’s a three-hour drive to the town of Chau Doc. Those coming from Ho Chi Minh City can also take a direct bus or car for six hours. Luxury cruises run between Can Tho and Chau Doc, and also from Cambodia into Vietnam – ideal for travellers who want a slower approach.
