Boating in Mekong Delta
Phung Island is the long strip of green in the Tien River below the arch of Rach Mieu Bridge. Like most of Ben Tre Province, it’s dotted with houses and covered with coconut trees.
There are some hundreds of tiny boats in Ben Tre where you have very interesting rowing boat trip from the village to another. Today, the local people are happy to work in tourism, which they can have better income than any farming jobs in the region.
The boat is quite small for a big trip, there are enough for 3-4 passengers to sit, and the local rower will paddle the boat along the cannal, nothing to see here , just except the water coconut trees...The boat trip takes about 20 - 30 minutes..
