Hi Techadd,

I and my two other friends will be flying over to Ho Chi Minh City on 15-18 Aug'09. And we would like to get a triple room for 3 night stays at a city-location hotel (somewhere near Ben Thanh Market?). Any great deal from you?

We would like to spend go for a day tour to some rural areas and historical places, do you think if visiting places like Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta can be done within a day?

Thanks for your help!

there are several brands and grades as well, the G7 brand coffees are especially popular with foreigners although they are a little more expensive..

Casual drinking - > Vinacafe , Trung Nguyen Brand..
For a more delicate taste - try the G7, they have a wide variety and grades as well.

but ultimately, let your taste bud decide...

my french customer thinks the street side ice coffee milk is one of the best tasting coffee he ever had..although a little sweet..
