About Can Tho
Can Tho is the relaxed, riverside capital of the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam. Compared to Ho Chi Minh City, it offers a noticeably lower cost of living, a slower pace of life, and a more authentic Vietnamese day-to-day experience — with good cafés, gyms, healthcare, and a growing expat community. Ho Chi Minh City is easily accessible for weekend trips, making it an ideal base for teachers who want the best of both worlds.
