Happy Farm Tien Giang
At this little setup 8 km (5 miles) from My Tho run by a lovely husband-and-wife team, Khoi and Oanh, you'll choose between simple wooden or solid bungalows, both with air-conditioning and an outdated en suite outdoor bathroom, but the big attraction here is the minihobby farm, which is home to chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, dogs, and cats. Oanh supervises the kitchen, which turns out fabulous Vietnamese home cooking. It's very popular with Vietnamese families on weekends, when Khoi organizes a full itinerary of kids' activities, including tug-of-war, sack races, and fishing (the old-fashioned way, in the water with a bamboo basket).
