Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car within the Mekong Delta, start on National Route 1A (QL1A) towards Mỹ Tho City. Follow the signs for Mỹ Tho, which is approximately 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City. Once you reach Mỹ Tho, navigate to Thới Sơn Island. You will need to take a ferry from Mỹ Tho to Thới Sơn, which operates regularly. The ferry ride is about 15 minutes and costs around 20,000 VND per person. After disembarking the ferry, head towards Tổ 5 ấp Thới Bình, which is approximately a 10-minute walk or a short moto-taxi ride from the ferry terminal.

Bus

For public transportation, you can take a bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Mỹ Tho. Buses leave frequently from the Eastern Bus Station (Bến xe Miền Đông) and the ticket price ranges from 60,000 to 100,000 VND depending on the bus company. Once you arrive in Mỹ Tho, follow the signs to the ferry terminal, where you can catch a ferry to Thới Sơn Island. The ferry costs around 20,000 VND per person and takes about 15 minutes. After arriving on Thới Sơn Island, you can either walk or take a moto-taxi to Tổ 5 ấp Thới Bình, which is a short distance away.

Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service

If you prefer a more direct route, you can use a taxi or ride-hailing service like Grab. From your current location in the Mekong Delta, input 'Mekong Essence' into the app for navigation. The driver will take you directly to Tổ 5 ấp Thới Bình, Thới Sơn, Mỹ Tho. The fare may vary based on your starting point but expect to pay around 200,000 to 300,000 VND for a trip from central Mỹ Tho. Make sure to confirm with the driver that they will take you to the ferry terminal if you are coming from outside Thới Sơn.
