Can Tho
Gateway to the Mekong Delta | Authentic Vietnamese Life & Floating Markets
Why It’s Popular:
Can Tho is the largest city in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region — known for its iconic floating markets, lush landscapes, and genuine local charm. While still off the mainstream expat radar, it’s gaining attention for its low cost of living, welcoming community, and slower pace of life.
Highlights:
🛶 Cai Rang Floating Market — one of Vietnam’s most famous attractions
🌾 Authentic Delta culture with riverside living and traditional villages
🧑🌾 Farm-to-table lifestyle with fresh produce, seafood, and tropical fruit
🚲 Low noise and traffic compared to major cities
🏠 Extremely affordable rentals and a tight-knit expat-teacher community
Cost of Living:
Very low. A solo expat can live comfortably on $500–$900/month, with spacious local homes or apartments available for a fraction of what you’d pay in Saigon or Hanoi.
Best For:
Adventurous retirees, teachers, eco-conscious expats, and long-term travelers who want a deeper connection with Vietnamese culture and community.
