Ho Chin Minh From Cambodia we made our way to Ho Chi Minh, in the south of Vietnam. We arrived at the Vietnam Inn Saigon, dropped our bags and headed out to explore. Ho Chi Minh is a very busy city and although the weather was quite bad while we were there, we had a hectic few days exploring the old capital of the south.

This boat was still going to Koh Phangan just with a different company.... after alot of kiss assin to the man at the ticket office and a promise we'd provide free entertainment for everyone on the boat we were finally let on.
