Neighbourhood · Ho Chi Minh City
Thao Dien is the neighbourhood Ho Chi Minh City locals use as shorthand for a certain kind of comfortable modern life — a riverside district on the Saigon River in District 2, with villa compounds, organic brunch cafés, rooftop bars, art galleries in converted warehouses and a Sunday farmer's market that suggests a city entirely at ease with itself. Quieter than District 1 and accessible by Grab or the Thu Thiem tunnel. For a base away from the tourist scrum that still has excellent food and nightlife, Thao Dien is what Ho Chi Minh City looks like when it stops performing for visitors and starts living for itself.
