My Tho, the capital of Tien Giang province is the gateway to the Mekong Delta for tourists on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. The former capital of South Vietnam before unification is a little over one hour bus trip away from My Tho which is a small enough town to walk around.My Tho has two lakes which look especially good at night and the Pagoda is worth a visit. The town has a population approaching 160,000 so there is plenty of activity to enjoy.
There will be rain most days between May and October, often in the form of a heavy afternoon shower. Tourists visit the region right around the year because nationally there are variations with no one month likely to entirely dry everywhere. Vietnam travel itineraries are available year round.
