Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the hotel:

• Clay Pot Village (Làng Nồi Đất): A centuries-old handicraft community where artisans still hand-throw and fire traditional earthenware pots used across the delta for cooking and storing food. Visitors can watch demonstrations, try throwing their own pot, and buy handcrafted souvenirs directly from makers.
• Wat Khleang Srok: A stunning 19th-century Khmer Buddhist pagoda famous for its intricate carvings, golden spires, and quiet, shady grounds dotted with ancient banyan trees. It’s one of the oldest Khmer temples in Soc Trang, and welcomes respectful visitors to join locals for quiet meditation.
• Soc Trang Floating Market: A working morning market where vendors sell everything from fresh tropical fruit to homemade noodles from the decks of their wooden boats. Unlike more touristy floating markets further west, this market still serves local delta communities, giving you an unfiltered look at daily river life.

Travel Tips

Book a garden-view room for the most relaxing stay, and arrange your delta tours directly through the hotel’s tour desk for better prices than third-party booking sites. Visit between December and April for dry, sunny weather ideal for cycling and exploring; bring lightweight, breathable clothing and mosquito repellent for outdoor days. If you’re arriving by bus from Ho Chi Minh City, the hotel can arrange a cheap pickup from Soc Trang’s central bus station for a small fee. For meals, ask the front desk to recommend local street food stalls within walking distance, where you can try authentic Soc Trang specialties like hu tieu (pork noodle soup) and coconut candy for just a few dollars.
