This was a real surprise. I was sent here by my travel agent, Nguyen Hoai at VivuTravel in Ha Noi. This is REALLY out in the countryside. The roads kept getting smaller and smaller until the car wouldn't fit any more and we had to shift over to a golf cart. Eventually, we worked our way through jungle trails until we came to this lovely pond with small individual huts on its banks. Each hut is a separate accommodation with its own deck. You can fish for fish or shrimp off your deck. Since this is Vietnam, you use rice for bait. I thought it was going to be a quiet evening alongside the water listening to the crickets until the karaoke started blasting me from somewhere off in the jungle. I don't know what it is about Viet Nam, but they seem to have these wonderful, peaceful, idyllic jungle or seaside settings that are perfect for reading, writing, or just sitting and enjoying the sunset. Then they destroy them by blasting them with loud, thumping drum synthesizers and off-key singing at volumes that could knock down a small building. Fortunately, the noise pollution didn't last too long and it didn't disrupt my sleep. I've had worse. Karaoke is the Japanese's revenge for losing World War II. It has been the bane of my travels throughout Southeast Asia. Anyway, it is a lovely location and definitely worth a visit. Bring ear plugs because you might get some bozo sharing his idea of thumping noise with you from several kilometres away. And it is HOT. Wow. Penguins are never going to migrate to the Mekong Delta. If your wife or girlfriend is always complaining about how cold it is, bring her here. No sane person could complain about being cold at the southern end of Vietnam. There is where Hell sends requests for more heat when it gets too cold down there. They have plenty to spare, believe me. But still worth a visit. You can get away from civilization and into the deep jungle. At night you can listen to the thumping drum synthesizers of the natives and pretend you are in a Tarzan movie. I have to commend VivuTravel and my travel agent, Hoai. I've been traveling in Southeast Asia for four months and every place I've been has been a unique experience. This is a relatively new facility but one which is worth a visit before it gets discovered and is swarming with tourists. That's the trouble with the world -- too many foreigners out there. See it now while you still can.

The Mekong Ecolodge was a unique place to stay. We stayed in a standalone bungalow, which was charming. Used the mosquito net at night and had no issues at all with bugs. Taking a shower outside was fun and refreshing. The bamboo lounge chairs in our porch were so comfortable! I would have like to have more than 1 pillow per person so it would have been more comfortable to read before bed. We had hot water in the room but didn't see coffee or tea, so don't know why we had hot water. We probably could have asked for some--the staff is SO nice and helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and the meals we had were embarrassingly large... we wasted a lot, which I always hate doing, but there's no way we could eat everything served to us. We really enjoyed the bikes and took 2 wonderful rides. We also hunted for catfish for dinner in the muddy canal, which was hilariously fun. And, we did a cooking class, which was fun. This place was very wonderful and relaxing. I did not enjoy the very loud karaoke from the local karaoke joint in the evening, but fortunately, it only lasted for an hour and ended before 9pm. One of my friends who lives nearby said karaoke is just to be expected there. A very nice place to stay overall.
