We
stayed
with
Mr
Kha
and
his
family
for
3
nights
last
week.
We
had
a
room
with
ensuite
on
the
first
floor
of
the
house.
The
ensuite
was
large
and
basic,
but
with
piping
hot
water.
In
addition
to
accommodation,
the
services
provided
by
Mr
Kha
and
his
family
included
tranfers
to
and
from
Ho
Chi
Minh
City,
and
delicious
and
filling
daily
breakfast
and
dinners
cooked
by
Mr
Kha's
wife,
and
occasionally
his
mother.
Mr
Kha's
father
maintains
the
large
beautiful
garden
and
surroundings.
The
homestay
is
located
about
5
kilometres
from
Ben
Tre,
which
can
be
accessed
by
bikes
from
the
homestay
or
taxi.
The
family
also
offers
a
range
of
private
tours,
two
of
which
we
took.
Our
tour
guide
was
Tuyan,
a
young
woman,
who
was
very
knowledgable
and
most
accommodating.
When
a
low
tide
made
it
very
difficult
for
our
large
boat
to
dock
to
enable
us
to
board
our
full-day
tour
of
the
coconut
plantations
and
factories
along
the
Mekong
and
other
tributaries,
Tuyan
and
several
members
of
Mr
Kha's
family
ferried
us
on
motor
bike
to
various
locations
until
a
suitable
docking
place
could
be
found.
Our
first
trips
on
motor
bikes
since
we
were
young,
and
they
were
good
fun!
The
tour
itself
was
excellent,
providing
insights
into
the
coconut
industry
and
the
daily
working
lives
of
thousands
of
Vietnamese
workers.
Without
doubt,
our
homestay
with
Mr
Kha
and
his
family,
was
a
major
highlight
of
our
month's
stay
in
Vietnam.
We
thoroughly
recommend
the
homestay
and
Tuyen's
tours.
