- LeonhknyHong Kong, China12,918 contributionsThis quaint museum offers a comprehensive overview of traditional medicine in Vietnam. A short taxi ride from downtown, FITO Museum is housed in a classical Chinese building with delicate wooden carvings. The whole structure displays the philosophy and tool of local medicine and illustrates the rich history of medical skills inherited from China. Exhibition is very informative and fun to learn. It is also not a touristy place and allows visitors to dig into details. Definitely worth the time and admission.Written 20 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- andypandaNashvilleNashville, TN1,929 contributionsWe went the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, which was a small Temple but the Good stuff was Upstairs.

- majorpaulmanningMelbourne, Australia1 contributionFriends,
I highly recommend this activity as a great way to get to know Vietnamese culture and cuisine.
The staff employed by Chef Tan are magnificent - and will readily share with you importance of the ingredients that are locally grown, and provide not only nourishment but medicinal properties.
Again, I highly recommend at least half a day, if not a full day!!!Written 14 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So I had high expectations for this museum in Ho Chi Minh City, but I was quite underwhelmed with this one.
Part of the reason is that it appears to be under renovation, and only part of the first floor is open to the public.
And that probably reflects the ticket price – – free.
If you get a chance to tour the Women’s Museum in Hanoi, don’t pass it up!Written 6 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The best massage I’ve ever had and at a very reasonable price for the expertise of the masseurs and attentiveness to make sure you have a wonderful experience. You just wouldn’t get this high level of service in the UK.
My husband finally agreed to come with me and we were given our treatments together at the same time. The only separate section is the hot baths, sauna and showers.
We booked a 2 hour package: Body Massage + Foot Massage and Sauna & Hot spa for 730,000VND = only £26!!
We were asked our preferences on arrival - how much pressure for each body area, hot stones, walking on your back? A very personal service.
Located on 32 ThaiVanLung street, the spa only accepts cash so make sure you have enough as you won’t want to miss out!Written 1 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pepper S1 contributionCame here on a Sunday morning for some self care and got the place to myself. Tried the Thai massage and did some pedicure. The place is nice and clean and with the massage, you are given a cold tea to start and hot tea to end. My masseur was great and I really enjoyed the Thai yoga style massage.Written 2 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alisa S11 contributionsWe did the Mekong Delta tour today and had the best time. Our guide Bao was fun, knowledgeable, happy and enthusiastic. The lunch was spectacular and all the activities we did were well organised and allowed us enough time to enjoy.
Thank you so much,

He gave me a lot of helpful instructions to make the best possible coffee catering to my taste. Definitely check it out again next time I visit Saigon.Written 4 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
