New Direct Flights To Phu Quoc From Singapore Start This July, With Fares From $133

TSL — Mon, 25 May 2026 06:24:44 +0000

Sun PhuQuoc Airways new direct flight to Phu Quoc

If your group chat has been cycling between “Bali again?” and “where else can we go for a short trip?”, here’s one more option to toss into the mix. Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s resort island known for beaches, seafood and sunset vibes, is getting a new direct flight from Singapore starting 25th July 2026.

The new route will be operated by Sun PhuQuoc Airways, marking the first time a full-service airline is flying directly between Singapore and Phu Quoc. For travellers, that basically means your ticket already includes things like meals and checked baggage, instead of needing to add everything on separately later until the final price jumpscare appears.

Here’s what Singaporeans should know before planning that next long weekend escape.

When will the flights start?

Ticket sales for the new route opened on 20th May 2026, with the inaugural flight taking off on 25th July 2026. Flights will operate daily between Singapore Changi Airport and Phu Quoc International Airport.

The flight timings are:

Singapore to Phu Quoc: Depart 2.20pm, arrive 3.05pm
Phu Quoc to Singapore: Depart 10.35am, arrive 1.20pm

How long is the flight to Phu Quoc?

The journey takes under 2 hours, making it pretty ideal for a quick weekend trip without burning half your leave on travel time. Blink twice, and you’re already mentally ordering grilled seafood by the beach.

What makes this airline different from existing flights?

Sun PhuQuoc Airways is a full-service carrier

Right now, most direct Singapore to Phu Quoc flights are operated by budget carriers. Sun PhuQuoc Airways is positioning itself differently by offering a full-service experience instead.

That means passengers get:

Complimentary hot meals onboard
Standard checked baggage included
Wireless in-flight entertainment
Business Class and Economy Class options

For those who hate the budget airline drill of paying extra for literally everything from luggage to water, this could be a more convenient option, especially for families or travellers carrying shopping loot home.

Launch fares start from S$133 one-way, though these promotional prices are subject to availability. There’s also a 20% discount on base fares for bookings made between 20th May and 19th June 2026.

Free cable car tickets & resort perks included

Travellers flying from Singapore to Phu Quoc with the airline will also receive complimentary tickets to the Sun World Hon Thom Cable Car, one of the island’s more popular attractions known for its sea views.

Passengers can also get discounts of up to 30% for selected accommodation, dining, spa and entertainment options within Sun Group’s resorts and attractions in southern Phu Quoc.

If you’ve never heard of Phu Quoc before, think of it as Vietnam’s answer to a laid-back tropical escape. The island has been gaining traction among Singapore travellers thanks to its beaches, seafood, resorts, and visa-free entry for international visitors.

Why Singaporeans are eyeing Phu Quoc for short holidays

Image credit: Sun Group via Facebook

The biggest appeal is convenience. With direct flights under 2 hours and visa-free access, Phu Quoc is shaping up to be one of those easy getaway destinations where you can fly off on Friday and still be back in Singapore by Sunday night feeling semi-recharged.

Compared to some other beach destinations in the region, it can also be relatively affordable for food, hotels and activities. So if Bali crowds are testing your patience lately, this might be your sign to try somewhere different.

Is Phu Quoc visa-free for Singapore travellers?

Yes, Phu Quoc currently offers visa exemption for international visitors, including Singapore travellers.

A new option for Singaporeans craving a quick island escape

Between the short flight time, included perks and beach resort vibes, Phu Quoc looks set to become another popular weekend getaway spot for Singaporeans hunting for a fuss-free holiday nearby. Whether you’re travelling for a romantic escape, family trip or just need a break from the endless cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat, this new route makes getting there a whole lot easier.

You Can Hop On A Romantic Bus Ride From Hanoi To Sapa, With Pink Cabins To Relax With Bae In Private

Ong Rui En — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:59:19 +0000

Hanoi to Sapa love bus

Hanoi and Sapa in Vietnam have many things to offer – it’s likely that if you are visiting one city, you’ll want to visit the other too. But travelling between the 2 destinations means spending hours on the road – either in sleeper buses, overnight trains, taxis, or minivans, so finding a comfortable option is essential to get a good rest and make the best out of your trip.

If you are planning to add both destinations to your Vietnam itinerary, consider booking a ride on the Hanoi to Sapa love bus.

What is the Hanoi to Sapa love bus?

Image credit: Klook

It’s a pink-coloured bus operated by Inter Bus Lines that comes decked out in cute Disney and character themes. You have options for single beds, double beds, or private and cosy cabins, making it a direct yet budget-friendly way to get from Hanoi to Sapa and vice versa in around 6 hours.

The bus starts at Tom’s Cafe in Hanoi and drops passengers directly at Interbus Lines Sapa Office. If you’re going the opposite way, it departs from Interbus Lines Sapa Office and drops passengers at 194 Tran Quang Khai, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.

And while its official name isn’t “love bus”, the bubblegum pink exterior, heart-shaped motifs, and mood lighting may or may not have earned this ride its cheeky yet slightly sus nickname.

Choose between the sleeper bus & the cabin bus

Image credit: Klook

You have 2 options when it comes to booking the Hanoi to Sapa love bus.

The first is the budget-friendly sleeper bus (from S$8.59/pax) that comes with single or double reclining beds, a free bottle of water, a warm blanket, and Wi-Fi access. The soft lighting in the bus makes it comfortable to relax for the long journey.

Image credit: Inter Bus Lines

If you prefer more privacy, opt for the cabin bus (from S$13.35/pax) that offers private double beds in little love cabins with curtains. Other than the free water and blankets, each cabin also comes with USB charging ports, free WiFi, and entertainment screens. The romantic atmosphere makes it perfect for a good night’s rest with your significant other.

Not recommended for tall people

But here’s something to note: the sleeper bus beds measure 180cm x 55cm for single beds and 180cm x 110cm for double beds, while the cabins on the cabin bus measure 180cm x 110cm. So if you’re on the taller side, be prepared for a slightly bent-knee situation rather than a full starfish stretch.

What can you expect on the Hanoi to Sapa love bus?

According to travellers who have booked the love bus through Klook, the details will be sent to you via WhatsApp the day before. Before boarding, footwear has to be removed and placed in the plastic bags provided.

Image credit: Long via Klook

A crate of slippers is provided as a replacement, which you’ll be able to wear on the bus.

There are a few departure times to choose from and 2 stops along the way to relieve yourselves or grab a bite. The toilet at these stops charges VND3,000/pax (~S$0.15). Take note that food is not allowed on the bus, so be sure to finish your food before reboarding. The bus will also stop to pick up other passengers along the way.

Not to worry if you have mobility concerns – staff are on hand to assist passengers who require assistance. You could also request a lower bunk if you are physically unable to access the upper bunk.

Each passenger is allowed to bring 1 standard luggage and 1 handbag on board, so plan your shopping haul wisely unless you’re prepared to play luggage Tetris.

Image credit: Klook

Along the way, you’ll be able to enjoy beautiful mountain views if you’re awake and travelling when there’s still daylight outside.

Are certain activities allowed on the love bus?

Screenshot from: TikTok

It’s not what it sounds like – the love bus isn’t like a love hotel. We can’t find anything that suggests making love on the love bus is allowed.

Screenshot from: TikTok

Besides, the cabins are narrow, designed for 1 to 2 people to sleep, and only separated by curtains, making such activities likely to disturb others. It’s better to use the private cabin for a comfortable, romantic, and restful night’s sleep to enjoy your trip to Hanoi or Sapa, rather than for other activities, as some people wonder.

All aboard the Hanoi to Sapa love bus

No matter whether you’re travelling solo, with a group, or with a partner, the love bus is an affordable and convenient option to travel between Hanoi and Sapa.

14 Things To Do In Phu Quoc – The Maldives Of SE Asia With Direct Flights From Ho Chi Minh City

Samantha Nguyen — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 07:49:37 +0000

Things to do in Phu Quoc

If eating, swimming, and island-hopping between some of the whitest stretches of sand are your things, then Phu Quoc should be right at the top of your bucket list.

Located near the Southern tip of Vietnam, the island has a lot to offer. There’s a theme park, fishing village, night market, cheap seafood joints, and several swoon-worthy sights to see. We’ve narrowed it down to 14 things to do in Phu Quoc, and included hotel and restaurant recommendations so you can use this guide to live your best island life.

2025 update: Getting there is easy with various direct flights from Singapore to Phu Quoc. From 30th May 2025 onwards, Vietjet has one-way prices starting from $86. Scoot also has non-stop flights. More details on getting there below!

– Attractions –

1. Shop for fresh seafood at Ham Ninh Fishing Village

To get fish and shellfish that’s literally fresh off a boat, head to Ham Ninh Fishing Village.

Image credit: @flyasiana via Instagram

Nestled between mountains, the rustic town is a 30-minute drive from Phu Quoc centre. One of its main lures is fresh seafood which can be purchased straight from the fishermen’s boats and grilled by the chefs in the surrounding restaurants.

The whole thing oozes a lowkey surf-shack experience that you won’t be able to get in Singapore. Don’t forget to take a dip in the pristine water of Ham Ninh Beach while you’re there.

Address: Ham Ninh, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam

2. Swim with starfish at Starfish Beach

One of Vietnam’s most photographed beaches, Starfish Beach sits in between 2 capes in the south of the island.

Image credit: @fromsealps via Instagram

The beach is famous for its soft white sand and Maldives-esque blue water that’s great for swimming and snorkelling. However, the real draw of this destination is most likely the galaxy of starfish that can sometimes be found on the sandbank. Just promise us you’ll only look but won’t touch or pick them up in order to keep them alive.

Address: Rach Vem, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam

3. Ride the rollercoasters at Vietnam’s largest theme park

VinWonders Phu Quoc is billed as the largest theme park in Vietnam. This makes sense as soon as you see the sprawling 50-hectare land that it occupies, along with countless rides, attractions, restaurants, and shops.

Image credit: @hisfitmj via Instagram

The park consists of 6 different zones, ranging from a Viking-themed ancient village to a fantasy sci-fi world. But that’s not all. There’s also a waterpark for you to cool off and an aquarium where you can pay a visit to 18,000 marine species.

VinWonders Phú Quốc

Admission Fee

VND490,000/child (~S$27.84)

4. Try street food at Phu Quoc Night Market

Strung up in lanterns and string lights, Phu Quoc Night Market is known for its buzzing vibes and tasty street food.

Image credit: @phuquoctrip via Instagram

Make your way around the spiderweb of canopied tents of vendors folding and frying snacks. Stop and sample the myriad of grilled seafood, meat skewers, ice cream rolls, and fruit iced tea. The market is also known for its rows of bars selling cheap booze so you can let loose on a budget.

Address: 54 Nguyen Trai Street, District 1, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Opening hours: 5pm-12am, Daily

5. Grab a drink at Sunset Sanato Beach Club

Sunset Sanato Beach Club is probably the most well-known drinking hole on the island.

Image credit: @crazycat_22 via Instagram

The place is often swarmed with bikini and board shorts-clad revellers competing in beer pong tournaments and posing with dozens of artsy sculptures along the shore. But what makes it truly remarkable is the majestic sunset that can be seen from the deck. Come for the views and photo ops, and stay for the live music and good food.

Entry is VND100,000/person (~S$5) and gives you all-day access to the venue.

6. Feed the giraffes at Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc

You won’t need to go all the way to India to see the beautiful Bengal tigers. Just head to Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc to witness these mighty creatures, along with over 200 other species of animals.

Image credit: @ivivupham via Instagram

Known as Vietnam’s first open-air safari, the 380-hectare compound allows you to walk or ride a van among wild animals without worrying if they’d like to snack on you. Expect to find white lions and rhinos roaming freely at the safari park while rare chimpanzees and sphinx draw a crowd inside the primate area.

There’s also a bird park with over 2,000 types of birds, a reptile area where giant tortoises and pythons live, and a deck where you can feed the giraffes.

Admission Fee

VND490,000/child (~S$27.85)

7. Tour the historic Phu Quoc Prison

Between the 1940s and 1960s, Phu Quoc Prison was used as a torture camp for communist soldiers and political prisoners captured by the French colonists. These days, the historical site is a hotspot attracting busloads of tourists daily.

Image credit: @andrewsparrow via Instagram

You’ll be able to take a peek inside the sinister cells, learn about some most the most famed prisoners, and witness scenes of past torture. The figurines peppered around the prison resemble actual inmates and add a spooky touch to this notorious haunt. Entry to the prison is free for all.

Address: 350 Nguyen Van Cu Street, An Thoi, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Opening hours: 7am-5pm, Daily

8. Go island hopping to snorkel among coral reefs

For a UV-filled day trip, hop on a long boat and explore the surrounding islands.

Image credit: @aga_draga via Instagram

There’s a handful of islands around Phu Quoc, but one of the most popular routes is around the cluster of 3 islets: Turtle Island, Fingernail Island, and May Rut Island. If your idea of a good time is diving with turtles, swimming with schools of fish, and floating atop turquoise water, then island hopping should be on your itinerary.

– Hotels –

9. Mövenpick Villa & Residences – Inclusive of breakfast

You might not want to leave after checking yourself into this luxe resort.

Image credit: @movenpickphuquocofficial via Instagram

The beachfront Mövenpick Villa & Residences features bright and beachy guest rooms, villas, and family residences outfitted with modern amenities. All rooms have 24-hour room service and a fully stocked bar, but you’d be remiss to skip out on a meal at The Islander or a drink at Aura Beach Club and Lang Chai Bar.

If you’re travelling with kids, make sure to check out the kids’ club that’s filled with games, books, and toys.

For a change of scenery, ditch the towering properties in Phu Quoc and go for a rustic stay at Cay Sao Beach Resort.

Image credit: @a_travelingscot via Instagram

The beachside bungalows feel just as luxurious as some of its neighbours, with endless sea views, a dip pool, and a restaurant. Rent a bike to ride along the beach, sip on fresh coconuts under palm trees, and order up a feast to end the day. Apparently, the sauteed squids and prawns are good.

From $32/night

– Restaurants –

12. Saigonese Eatery

Saigonese Eatery has been a Phu Quoc favourite for as long as it’s been in District 7.

Image credit: @saigonese.eatery via Instagram

The restaurant offers Asian dishes with inventive spins like prawn ceviche and purple rice with scallops that can send a vegetarian tumbling off the wagon. Their cold-pressed juices and Vietnamese coffee also reign supreme and will help you beat the heat.

As for the decor and ambience, expect rustic wood carpentry, natural light stream through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a dreamy patio that’s perfect to people-watch.

Address: 129 Tran Hung Dao Street, District 7, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Opening hours: 8am-10pm, Daily

13. Crab House

There’s perhaps no better way to take advantage of Phu Quoc’s fresh seafood scene than a meal at Crab House.

Image credit: @joannachenlove via Instagram

As you may assume from the name, the restaurant has mastered the art of crab-based cuisine, serving up crab cakes, cajun crab boil, and crab rice. That said, you probably can’t go wrong with shrimps, clams, and mussels. Don’t forget to order a side of garlic bread so you can dip into the juicy sauce that comes with your seafood boil.

Address: 26 Nguyen Trai Street, Duong Dong, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Opening hours: 11am-10pm, Daily
Contact: +84 297 3845 067

14. Xin Chao Seafood Restaurant

Located a 2-minute walk from Phu Quoc Night Market, Xin Chao Seafood Restaurant has outstanding ocean views and seafood dishes to match.

Image credit: @xinchao.phuquoc.restaurant via Instagram

Make a reservation on the second floor so you can witness a lovely sunset as you tuck into plates of grilled crustaceans. The menu includes a wealth of options such as abalone in salted egg sauce and spicy seafood hotpot, but it’d be a crime to leave without trying its signature mud crab with green pepper sauce.

Also, the fact that locals come here to eat says a lot about the quality of the food.

Address: 66 Tran Hung Dao Street, Duong Dong, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Opening hours: 11am-2pm & 5pm-10pm, Daily

How to get to Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc used to be pretty inaccessible but it’s less so now thanks to a myriad of direct flights that can take you straight to the island. In the past, you’d have to fly into Ho Chi Minh City before taking a bus + ferry.

Today, getting there is a breezy 1h 45 min direct flight. From 30th May 2025 onwards, Vietjet has 4 return flights weekly between Singapore and Phu Quoc International Airport.

This Scenic Attraction In Vietnam Has A Giant Rainbow Slide, Petting Zoos & Activities Like Archery

Khalisah Zulkarnain — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 03:23:11 +0000

Mongo Land in Da Lat, Vietnam

Mongo Land is a trendy tourist attraction in Da Lat, Vietnam, perfect for travellers seeking refuge away from the city. Located in the valley, this sprawling “theme park” is surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills and breathtaking views.

As you stroll along taking in the sights, don’t forget to allocate some time for the different activities available at Mongo Land. Here’s what you need to know and can expect.

The current exchange rate is VND10,000 = ~S$0.52 as of 20th March 2025.

How to get to Mongo Land?

There are no direct flights to Da Lat from Singapore, but you’ll get there in no time by hopping on a 1-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh. The park itself, however, is easily accessible by car – it’s about a 30-minute drive from Da Lat city centre. Most reviews recommend hiring a private driver for a fuss-free experience.

How much is the entrance fee to Mongo Land?

For adults, ticket prices start from VND100,000 (~S$5.21). For children who are under 1.2m tall, tickets are priced are VND60,000 (~S$3.13).

The ticket fees are pretty affordable, considering that they include admission into the park, a complimentary bottle of water, animal feed and an all-access pass to the activities. Yes, you heard that right, no extra fees.

What should I prepare before heading to Mongo Land?

Image credit: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

Since most of the activities are outdoors, plan your visit when the weather is clear so you get to enjoy the most of Mongo Land. Reviews say that the best time to visit Da Lat is between late November and July, during the dry season.

Arrive early and wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking on mountainous terrain.

What is there to do at Mongo Land?

Go down a rainbow slide

Image adapted from: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

The highlight of Mongo Land is impossible to miss, both in size and colour. This giant, rainbow slide is the longest dry slide in Vietnam. It’s adorned with bold geometric patterns that are a nod to traditional Mongolian designs often seen in their garments.

Image credit: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

This thrilling activity is even more fun with friends since you can all brave this slide together. Plus, if you’d like to record the whole experience, they allow you to bring your phones. Just make sure you hold on, really, really tightly unless you want it to take its own ride down.

Visit the animal farm

Image adapted from: @_hnganh_ & @hamy_anivia via Instagram

Get up close and personal with gentle giants like camels and alpacas at the animal farm for plenty of pics. Don’t miss the chance to pet an alpaca in person.

Image credit: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

If you’re more of a tiny critter kind of person, Mongo Land has capybaras and guinea pigs that you can feed and pet too. Dress nice, because their capybaras have insane drip – you don’t want to be out dressed by a capybara with cool sunglasses.

Image credit: @meomeo.htt via Instagram

They even have pygmy goats, little cuties known for their sociable nature. Go ahead and get acquainted – who knows, one might just become your cuddle buddy.

Let these animals munch on the feed that comes with your ticket and feel free to pet, photograph and interact with your favourites.

Go grass sliding

Image credit: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

Thrill-seekers have the giant slide, but if you’re not an adrenaline junkie, there’s the grass-sliding activity for you to enjoy too.

Sit in a sliding car and push yourself down mini-hills for a tamer ride. It’s also a child-friendly option compared to the rainbow slide. And don’t worry about tumbling or falling, the soft grass cushions any slips.

Try your hand at archery

Image credit: @suhiecute via Instagram

Archery is a significant cultural practice in Mongolian culture, as it is both a tool and a weapon. Now’s your chance to test your accuracy and ability to shoot an arrow at the archery station. Don’t worry – everyone else there is probably trying archery for the first time, so no one’s gonna judge if you miss the target for the 10th time.

The arrow tips aren’t sharpened, so it’s child and beginner-friendly too.

Explore traditional Mongolian teepees

Image adapted from: @hg_thienaan & @mirajane0112 via Instagram

The Mongolian tent-themed area is the perfect spot if you want to kick back and channel your inner nomad. With the colourful tents set against rolling green hills, it will be a stand-out on your IG feed.

Marvel at windmills

Image credit: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

The Netherlands in Vietnam sounds ridiculous, but Mongo Land has pulled it off. Their picture-perfect windmills are straight out of a European postcard. Angle your phone and if you do it right, it may even be convincing enough to trick your friends that you’re actually in the Netherlands.

Snap pics among a bed of flowers

Image credit: @effajunki via Instagram

For an aesthetic background, head to their flower fields and take a picture while being surrounded by beautiful, eye-catching blooms.

Rent a traditional Mongolian attire

Image adapted from: @mongoland.dalat via Instagram

Mongo Land also lets you rent traditional Mongolian attire from VND200,000 (~S$10.43). If you want to go all out, top up another VND200,000 for makeup. They have full sets for everyone, from children to adults, and with a variety of colours to choose from, you’re sure to find a set that fits your IG aesthetic.

Head to the mountains of Da Lat for Mongo Land

With scenic views, fresh mountain air and a chock-full of things to do, you’ll easily spend hours here at Mongo Land without getting bored. The park is perfect for families, friend groups and couples, so come together to have a whale of a time.

14 Things To Do In Ho Chi Minh For First-Timers – Flower Market, Hipster Cafes & Cultural Landmarks

Shannon Chow — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 08:16:46 +0000

Things to do in Ho Chi Minh

If you’re considering making a trip down to Ho Chi Minh City, get ready for a wild ride. The city is a constant whirlwind of action, with plenty to see, do, and eat. So, stop settling for pho at your kopitiam and get the real deal in the heart of Vietnam.

Exploring a new place can be a little daunting, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a guide to things to do in Ho Chi Minh if you’re visiting the city for the first time.

The current exchange rate is VND10,000 = ~S$0.52 as of 17th March 2025.

How to get to Ho Chi Minh from the airport?

A direct flight from Changi Airport to Tan Son Nhat International Airport takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes, with numerous airlines servicing this route.

Getting to the city from the airport is fairly easy. For a more affordable option, catch the No. 152 public bus, which brings you to Ben Thanh Market. The ride will cost you around VND6,000, but note that you will have to pay extra if you’ve got luggage. The ride should take you around 15 minutes, depending on your stop.

Image credit: Vietjet Air

There’s also the No. 109 airport bus that brings you right into District 1, but this is a little pricier at VND20,000. The pickup location is at Column 12 of the international terminal. You can’t pre-book seats and can only pay in cash – tickets can be purchased on the bus or at the airport counters.

Grab is also a convenient ride option to get around the city. Head over to the designated pickup location at the airport – usually the car park opposite the arrival hall. Prices range from VND110,000 to VND250,000 depending on the traffic and demand.

If you’re in need of a local SIM card, grab 1 near the airport’s exit. Prices range from VND180,000-VND50,000.

Or, purchase a SIM card (from S$7.35) beforehand and pick it up at the airport.

Where to stay in Ho Chi Minh?

Ho Chi Minh City is divided into 24 districts, comprising 19 inner city districts and 5 suburban areas. Districts are further divided into wards, which are basically neighbourhoods to better organise areas.

Most tourists stay in Districts 1 or 2, which are considered the commercial hubs and the heart of the city, so it’s easier to get to popular attractions.

Image credit: @itserikager via Instagram

If you’re visiting with your family, it may be wise to stay closer to attractions like Ben Thanh Market and avoid the walking streets, as they can get noisy at night. You could rent an Airbnb or stay in a hotel, depending on your budget.

Sazi Ben Thanh Hotel is located right down the street across Ben Thanh Market, making it an ideal location if convenience is a high priority. Prices start from S$83.21/night, with the most basic room being a Standard Studio, inclusive of 1 double bed and a small desk.

Akoya Saigon Central Hotel is a 3-minute walk from Ben Thanh Market if you’re looking to crash somewhere nearby after all that shopping. Rooms start from S$58.61/night and the price is inclusive of breakfast; definitely a fuss-free temporary home for your stay.

Winsuites Saigon Hotel is another option, located just 2 minutes away from Ben Thanh Market. Room rates start from S$121.08/night if you don’t mind splurging, and it includes a choice of 1 queen bed or 2 single beds, a free minibar, and a cosy fireplace.

– For the shopaholics –

1. Ben Thanh Market

Diverse local souvenirs & street food

Probably one of the most well-known markets in Ho Chi Minh, Ben Thanh Market is a shopper’s haven, selling souvenirs, local handicrafts, snacks, and more.

Originally located near Ben Nghe River, the market was moved to its current location in 1912 and still retains its original clock tower. It is the place to be to have a first taste of Vietnamese culture since it houses local businesses.

There’s no fixed pricing here, so come with your best bargaining game. For a gauge on prices, head to the East exit for fixed prices on clothes. And if all that browsing works up an appetite, fuel up with street food like bún mắm (VND10,000), chè (VND17,000), and even a selection of shellfish (VND20,000-VND50,000).

If you’re still up for another shopping marathon, take a 4-minute walk to Saigon Square, another market famous for its luxury knock-offs.

One of the biggest flower markets in the city, Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, is a must-visit for tourists. The market was established in 1987 and has remained a go-to spot for flowers thanks to its diverse offerings.

Prices (VND3,000-VND5,000) are more than reasonable since it’s a wholesale market, and you will find gardening tools and supplies on sale here as well.

If you find yourself a little peckish, there are over 100 street food stalls at the market for you to satisfy your cravings.

The market is a little way out of the city centre, but buses No. 27, 14, and 53 will get you there. Make sure you reach the market early to get the freshest picks.

Maybe you consider yourself above the mainstream and would rather avoid fighting the crowds at the Cafe Apartment Building. Enter 42 Ton That Thiep Building – while it only has 2 floors to explore, don’t count it out just yet.

The old apartment building is mainly occupied by clothing shops that are popular among Gen Zs due to the wide selection of vintage, street style, and gender-neutral designs. You’ll find yourself spoilt for choice, but here are a few rapid-fire recommendations for shops to visit:

Mama Virus: for coquette-style apparel

Parents, it’s only a matter of time before you’re faced with the dreaded question from your kids, “What else is there to do?”. Luckily, there’s Dam Sen Park, an entertainment destination for families, located in District 11.

The park is split between 2 areas, the Dam Sen Cultural Park, which functions more as an amusement park, and the Dam Sen Water Park. There are separate entrances and tickets for both parks and a connecting gate linking the 2.

It’s fairly easy to reach the park – hop on buses No. 69 or 38, or book a Grab which should take about 30 minutes.

Tickets are available at 3 locations: the main gate, in the park, or at the water park gate for Water Park visitors who wish to explore the Cultural Park.

There are 3 types of tickets to the Cultural Park. Entrance tickets allow visitors to visit the monument attractions but exclude rides. The package ticket includes games and admission. If you get cold feet on rollercoasters, there are individual game tickets available (VND30,000-VND50,000).

Breakdown of tickets for Cultural Park

	Entrance Ticket	Package Ticket
Children (Under 1.4m)	VND100,000	VND220,000
Adults (Over 1.4m)	VND160,000	VND300,000

For more information about the pricing, check out Dam Sen Cultural Park’s information page.

Adult tickets for the Water Park are priced at VND220,000, while tickets for children are priced at VND180,000.

Phew – now that the logistics are out of the way, let’s break down the highlights of each park.

Dam Sen Water Park

Boasting over 31 aquatic equipment, Dam Sen Water Park is a surefire way to keep your family entertained all day long.

Some highlights include the Wandering River, a 400-metre long river that winds through lush greenery and caves; the Black Thunder Slide that spirals from a height of 11 metres with light and sound effects as you make your way down; and the Water Jet Massage, which includes 12 water jets to stimulate blood circulation.

Lockers are available for rent to store your valuables for a small fee (VND25,000). Food is prohibited within the premises, but there are restaurants within the park, most notably De Men for child-friendly dishes.

Maybe you’re not so keen on getting wet – don’t worry, head over to the Dam Sen Cultural Park for equally thrilling experiences while staying dry. The park features over 30 types of attractions, including a rollercoaster, a mini zoo, a snow house, and even an aquarium.

Image credit: Dam Sen Park via Facebook

Apart from its rides, the Cultural Park is also known for its iconic photo spots that feature a mix of East-West influence, such as the Romance Square which is inspired by the Classical Roman era and the Cuu Khuc Bridge that stretches across the scenic lake.

If you aren’t a fan of water parks, the Cultural Park is a great alternative while still guaranteeing a great time for the whole family.

Booking a guided tour is ideal if you prefer to explore without having to worry about transportation, especially since the site is located 70km away from Saigon.

Explore the tunnels and experience life during wartime, including hidden booby traps and even a shooting range for a small fee (VND60,000 per bullet). You’ll also get a taste of traditional wartime food like cassava, a root vegetable commonly used as a substitute for rice during the war.

Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, as your expedition may include some crawling.

Book a half-day guided tour of Cu Chi Tunnels (from S$21.29).

One of the longest rivers in the world, the river flows through 6 countries. The Mekong Delta is home to rice paddies, bustling fishing villages, and a thriving ecosystem of mangrove forests.

A guided tour is the best way to experience the Mekong Delta, as a local will bring you around to explore different parts of the region. Enjoy a relaxing boat tour around the fishing villages, a bike ride around Thoi Son island, and a visit to the Vinh Trang Pagoda.

9. Saigon Opera House

Cultural dance performances & shows

Image credit: @jessieling via Instagram

If you’re in the city, you have to catch a show at the historic Saigon Opera House. Located in District 1, the opera house is close to other iconic landmarks like the Central Post Office and the Notre-Dame.

Its magnificent architecture takes inspiration from the French Third Republic, and many original features are still preserved today, like the white stone statues at the entrance and its intricate chandeliers.

Seating is divided into 3 sections, the premium being “wow” seats, the middle-tier “ooh” seats, and the furthest seating as “aah” seats.

Here are 3 highly recommended shows for your next visit:

The A O Show is a visual masterpiece showcasing the contrast between the tranquillity of Vietnamese life in the countryside and the noise of urbanisation in the city. Featuring jaw-dropping acrobatic stunts and an interpretive dance using bamboo poles, the performance is a snapshot of Vietnamese lives in Saigon.

Book tickets to the A O Show (from S$30.39-S$91.65).

Hoi Ai: Teh Dar, where “Teh Dar” means “travelling the circle” in the K’HO tongue, is an apt title for the production’s overarching theme of the cyclical nature of life. The performance sees a combination of breathtaking acrobatics and contemporary dance with live tribal music.

Book tickets to Hoi Ai: Teh Dar (from S$26.95-S$88).

10. Cafe Apartment Building

Instagrammable cafes & boutiques

Image credit: @zp_hoult via Instagram

This picturesque 9-storey building is located along No. 42 Nguyen Hue Street and is instantly recognisable by its striking facade.

Built in the 1960s, the Cafe Apartment Building served as a former residence for American military officials during the Vietnam War. Today, the building functions as a complex for Instagram-worthy cafes and trendy boutiques.

Although easily spotted, getting in is a little tricky. Go through the entrance on the bottom left of the building next to the red Circle K sign, and go up the stairs. If you want to avoid paying the VND3,000 elevator fee, make sure to wear comfortable shoes to take the scenic route up the stairs.

It can be overwhelming on the first visit due to its myriad offerings, but here’s a starter pack of shops to visit.

Image credit: @sophiaveg via Instagram

Grab a seat at Madam Quyên on the 5th floor, a family-run restaurant serving traditional Vietnamese specialities. We recommend their spring roll (VND44,000) and Banh Mi Saigon (VND58,000).

Pờ Coffee on the 8th floor is a great choice if you need a caffeine fix. They offer drinks inspired by a variety of cuisines, like their Salt-Milk Japanese Matcha (VND69,000) and Pineapple Ginseng Coffee (VND55,000). Be sure to try out Vietnam’s iconic Egg Coffee (VND55,000).

This 3-Storey Pop Mart Castle In Vietnam Has Limited Edition Blind Boxes & A Mini Museum

Ariel Soh — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:26:06 +0000

Pop Mart Castle at Sun World Ba Na Hills, Vietnam

It is no surprise that Pop Mart has made its way to Vietnam with the addition of a new attraction – Pop Mart Castle – after places like Pop Land Beijing became an absolute hit. Not forgetting the ongoing hunt for Labubus in Singapore that has fans queuing up for hours before the store opens, and even more recently, tilting claw machines to get these collectables.

The current exchange rate is S$1 = ~VND18,856.83 as of 25th November 2024.

How do you get to Pop Mart Castle in Vietnam?

To get to the Pop Mart Castle, hop on a roughly 2.5-hour direct plane ride from Singapore to Da Nang International Airport in Vietnam.

This Sleeper Bus In Vietnam Is A Capsule Hotel On Wheels With Private Cabins, Lie-Flat Beds & Individual TVs

Dewi Nurjuwita — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:00:53 +0000

VIP Cabin Bus in Vietnam

When we say “sleeper buses in Vietnam”, what comes to mind?

For most Singaporeans, it’s not something that we consider at all, with most of us preferring to take flights within Vietnam. But we’re here to present the VIP Cabin Bus from Ho Chi Minh to Nha Trang, which is more like a pod hotel with swanky private cabins that come with LED lighting. Honestly, they look more like spaceships.

What to expect when boarding the VIP Cabin Bus

@betzabeltravelss

Sleeper buses are a convenient way to travel around vietnam & more when they look like this! Different buses are available this one is the VIP Cabin which cost me only 17$ #solotravel #vietnam #sleeperbus #hanoi

♬ original sound – Tae&Glo

The bus travels between 2 cities: Ho Chi Minh and Nha Trang, a coastal city in Southern Vietnam. It’s a 9-hour bus journey altogether. If you’re taking the bus from Ho Chi Minh, the bus company will send you details of the meeting point, which is one of the city’s biggest bus stations. This is where you’ll get onboard a minivan, which will then shuttle you to another bus station where you’ll board the VIP Cabin Bus.

When boarding the bus, you’ll be required to take off your shoes. Don’t worry about losing them, the bus operators will hand you a plastic bag, and there’s a compartment in your cabin to store them.

Private cabins with flat screen TV & fully-reclinable seat

Unlike the usual sleeper buses that feature seats that only recline halfway, this one looks like a capsule hotel with private cabins featuring privacy curtains. Each cabin also has its own flat screen TV and a control panel at the side with buttons like “sleep”, “light”, and “LED”.

You don’t have to worry about exceeding your data roaming, because each cabin has Wi-Fi along with a charging pod for your devices.

Image credit: Seek Sophie

And unlike the usual sleeper buses in Vietnam, the seats here fully recline, functioning like a bed. If you’d rather sit instead of lie down, it can also be set upright to be turned into a seat.

There’s also a night light, should you want to do some reading.

If you’re a night owl, enjoy the ride while looking out of your window. Otherwise, you can pull the shutters down to block out light coming from outside.

Image credit: Seek Sophie

There’s an option to choose between double or single cabins. The bus with double cabins comes with a small toilet onboard. But if not, it makes frequent stops along the way – so you don’t need to worry about holding it in.

Tickets from S$24.55/person

It’s an overnight bus lasting 9 hours, so there are 3 departure timings late at night: 10.20pm, 10.30pm, and 11pm. When booking, we’d advise you to take into account your arrival timing and make arrangements with your hotel if you’re arriving in the wee hours of the morning.

Image credit: Klook

There are various platforms where you can book your tickets, but most of them are in Vietnamese. We did, however, find the tickets for this journey on Klook – so you can be assured that the booking company is legit.

Tickets cost S$24.55 for a single cabin and S$36.55 for a double cabin, which can fit 2 people comfortably.

Catch the VIP Cabin Bus between Ho Chi Minh & Nha Trang

You may be thinking, “Is it worth it to take the VIP Cabin Bus in Vietnam?”

In comparison, a 1-hour plane between Ho Chi Minh to Nha Trang costs around S$75/person. So taking the bus can save you some money, but the entire journey takes a much longer time.

It depends on your priorities when you’re travelling. If you only have a few days in Vietnam, we’d say just book a flight. But if you’re travelling on a budget or have more time on your hands, the VIP Cabin Bus can be a really cool experience.

And if Ho Chi Minh and Nha Trang aren’t on your travel itinerary, we also found a similar bus service between Ha Noi and Sapa. So you really get to choose your own adventure.

With tons of activities, historical sites to visit, and beautiful beaches to relax at, Da Nang is a particularly underrated city. So to help you acquaint yourself better with the region, here is a list of the best things to do in Da Nang, Vietnam.

She is beauty and she is grace. She is the iconic Lady Buddha statue in Da Nang, standing at 67m tall. This white marble statue is thought to bring prosperous luck to the fishermen around the area, and acts as a guardian for the locals. While the Lady Buddha is known as a popular tourist attraction, it’s important to be respectful since it is a place of worship too.

Another beach worth exploring is on Cham Island, a fishing village that’s 20 minutes away from the mainland. The beaches here are less populated and pristin, making it the go-to spot for those looking to escape the crowd.

You can spend your day here diving, snorkelling, fishing, or just watching the sunset. For marine life enthusiasts, the protected coral reefs in the island of Cu Lao Cham are a must-see.

Aside from water activities, there are hidden spots like the Hai Tang Pagoda where a large statue of Buddha has been built for fishermen to pray to before going out to sea.

Since the island is remote, you can take a ferry from Bach Dang Wharf for 30 minutes at a slow, relaxed pace. But if you’re prone to sea sickness, we recommend you take the speedboat from Cua Dai Port which takes only 20 minutes and is less susceptible to rougher waters.

Book a guided tour to Cham Islands.

Admission: VND70,000 for ecological fee | VND20,000 for environmental cleaning fee
Transport Fees: VND350,000 for speedboat round trip | VND400,000 for ferry round trip

This Amusement Park Near Hanoi, Vietnam Is The Largest In SEA To Add To Your 2024 Travel Bucket List

Dewi Nurjuwita — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 05:32:26 +0000

Sun World Halong Complex – SEA’s largest theme park

Rollercoaster addicts would find that there’s no shortage of new theme parks in Asia. From the new World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland to the upcoming Junglia Nature Theme Park in Okinawa, wandering thrillseekers can just hop on a plane to get their adrenaline fix.

Well, let us put Sun World Halong Complex on your radar. Located in the heart of Halong city in Vietnam, It’s Southeast Asia’s largest theme park, spanning 214 hectares. That’s about 2 times the size of Gardens by the Bay, which occupies 101 hectares.

2 main areas connected by the world’s longest cable car track

Don’t mistake Sun World Halong Complex as just one massive theme park, though. It actually has several parks spread out across 2 main areas: The Coastal Amusement Park and Amusement Park on Ba Deo Hill.

Image credit: @me_camera_photos via Instagram

They’re connected by a double-decker cable car system that boasts the longest cable car track in the world. But that’s not all, visitors can see views of the world-famous Halong Bay from these cable cars – so you can sightsee while heading to the next park.

3 theme parks & a public beach located within the complex

At Sun World Halong Complex, you’ll be spoilt for choice with 3 parks located within the complex – namely Mystic Mountain, Dragon Park, and Typhoon Water Park. Plus, there’s also Sun World Beach, a free public beach for locals and tourists alike. You can get to the beach from the entry gate of Sun World Halong Complex via an electric car for VND5,000/ride (~S$0.27).

Those travelling with kids should check out Mystic Mountain, a family-friendly park with attractions like the Wax Museum, Magic Land, Koi Bridge, Zen Garden, and Sun Wheel. The latter is a gigantic Ferris wheel standing at 296m high, and has probably appeared on Instagram feeds worldwide as one of the complex’s most iconic attractions.

But if screaming your heart out is what you’re looking for, head to Dragon Park, which is more suited for the thrillseeking crowd. Not only are there over 20 roller coasters here, but you can also have a go at Crazy Reptiles, a bumper car ride, Halong Railway, and the Royal Carousel.

And last but not least, cool down at Typhoon Water Park, which boasts splash park play areas, a wave pool, water slides, and even a relaxing sun bay.

Additionally, you can easily spend a day at Sun World Halong Complex without having to worry about leaving the area to get food. Head to Sun World Old Quarter Kiosks for a variety of food options, from the Sushi Bar to The Dragon Food Temple, where you can find traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Spend a day at World Halong Complex the next time you’re in Vietnam

Now that we’ve convinced you to book a flight ticket to Vietnam pronto, the question is, how do you get to Sun World Halong Complex?

The nearest major city is Hanoi, which you can get to via direct flights from Changi Airport. From there, hop on the many buses from My Dinh Bus Station to Mong Cai, Cua Ong, Bai Chay, Cam Pha or Halong. Then, simply hail a taxi to Sun World Halong Complex.
