I keep coming back. I love it. MR Thai can organize tours that are private and just for you. I didn’t need the tours this stay and use my stay as just enjoying Vietnamese village life. There are 2 bungalow locations, 1 on the river Bank in brand new bungalows and the original homestay location in basic rooms. I actually have a soft spot for the original rooms surrounded by farms and trees. Mrs Thai cooks the most amazing food in true Vietnamese style. Forget the diet here, she will give you way too much food. NOTE: if you don’t like seafood make sure you make that very clear on arrival otherwise most meals are fish. If you like fish then you’re in heaven. There is fan only cooling and basic room facilities. The WiFi is excellent. There is a fridge with cold drinks that you can help yourself too and pay later. A real Vietnamese experience. 

A great experience of real VietNam

We stayed one night at Hong Thai Homestay. The rooms are a little rustic and lack of AC was a bit of struggle as it was very hot! Mr Thai was very helpful and provided us wit free bikes to explore the area. He also organised a motorbike trip from Ben Tre to Can Tho rather than getting the bus. This was amazing, we got to see so much more the Mekong than we would have done on the bus. 
His new project looks stunning and should be up and running soon! 

Great hosts and wonderful food! 

What a wonderful retreat! We actually stayed at their riverside homestay they are just finishing. It is more like an eco lodge. Amazing service and hospitality! cannot recommend enough! took us fishing, river tour. 

So good!!

Upon arriving in the Mekong region for the first time, we were greeted by our energetic host , Thai.
He is a man with a vision, which is coming to fruition at his peaceful homestay in the Ben Tre region.
Generous and smart, he and his wife have created a peaceful oasis in a lovely region of the Mekong Delta.
He arranged a day tour with our guide, Hueong, to bike through the neighborhood fruit farms and shady coconut groves... after which we took a boat ride up a river canal and around a larger island out in the Mekong.
The food was delicious, his wife is a great cook.... 
An altogether highly recommended experience!

Wonderful Hosts Homestay

What a wonderful experience it was to stay at Hong Thai Homestay. Thai and his wife were most hospitable and generous hosts.
If you prefer to be away from the popular tourist destinations, this is the place to come. You will see, experience and hear about life in this part of the Mekong Delta...amazing! 
Mr Thai is passionate about the environment, the Delta and the local people and is more than happy to share his wealth of knowledge and experience.
His 76 year old friend Mr Huong took us on a 3 hour trip... on bikes, in boats, visiting a small coconut candy factory,and to his own home to meet his wife (who gave us a platter of fresh fruit and made tea for us) Such beautiful, kind people ! This excursion with Mr Huong was extra and optional but we were so pleased to have done it and would certainly consider it a must do ! 
Another highlight was Thai's wife's home cooked meals... all included ! Lunch and dinner were always fresh local fish, beautifully cooked and presented. If you're not a big lover of fish...you only need to mention it and you'll be given delicious vegetable dishes.
If you like all the creature comforts of a five star hotel this definitely isn't the place for you... but to experience the charm and hospitality of rural Vietnam (a pond, chooks & fruit trees right outside the open air window)... don't miss out ! 
PS - Keep a look out for Mr Thai's new project "Hong Thai Homestay Riverfront"...looks amazing and not far off completion !

The highlight of our visit to the Mekong !

Really enjoyed our stay here. Mr. Thai was climbing trees and harvesting fresh coconuts for us, catching fish out of the pond and cooking them, and overall just making sure we were comfortable. Helped us plan a motorbike trip to CanTho after we left BenTre. I would definitely go back. We stayed in the upstairs room which I think is the nicest and most removed room. Very pretty. Bathroom is fairly basic, but it's Vietnam.

Super great guy, incredibly hospitable, very nice property

A wonderful place.... Cong and Khuong our  easyriders easyridersvietnam.nl brought us here on our wonderful trip. We had a really romantic room with a view from the bathroom in paradise. The family so friendly... wonderful food... we really recommend this place... not a kind of luxury as in a hotel... but the luxury straight to your heart.   And even you trad this.. I really want to recommend these two easyriders also... we travelled three days with them. They learned us so much about there country you never learn from a book or the internet. Thank you Thai, Cong and Khuong. 

Met easyriders Khuong and Cong in paradise

... and I am so thankful for that train encounter with a fellow traveller that led us to make a booking at Mr Thai's homestay in Ben Tre. We were there for 3 nights and it was the highlight of our 3 week stay in Vietnam (and there were many highlights!). Mr Thai made us genuinely feel at home and he and his family's passion for the area in which they live rubs off. They want you to love the place and so do all they can to make that happen, starting with delicious home cooked food (the fish fresh from the Mekong 'pond' outside the rooms). There are bicycle and motorbike tours offered with local guides. We opted for the bicycle tour where the ageless and fascinating Mr Huong, took us around the district which included an afternoon boat trip. Reasonably priced and great insights, we all felt like we connected to the lives of some of the people including the lady who makes rice paper and has done so for a long time. You can relax in the superb garden setting or be as active as you like. Rooms are comfortable - we stayed in the family room. Mr Thai is a man of experience, warmth and vision who can communicate it all in pretty good English. He is a great organiser and it was easy to get there and he helped us move on to Can Tho.

Our family of 5 (4 adults, one youth) were recommended Hong Thai Homestay...

Mr Thai and his son met our bus and delivered us to his Homestay, making us feel very welcome. He has personally transformed his house into a rural retreat on a pomelo orchard in a lush hideaway near the mighty Mekong river. His wife is an amazing cook and the real treat is Mr Thai’s ability to offer personal attention without hovering. He arranged a tour of the area that was a highlight of our entire trip and checked in with the tour guide throughout the day to make sure our experience was exceptional. Since he picked such a great guide (here he is making sugar cane juice for our enjoyment before boarding one of three ferries) he shouldn’t have worrried. Our last night he offered us the newly completed upstairs room with beautiful views of the sunrise over the pomelo orchard. Don’t just take a day trip from ho ch Minh city, come to Hong Thai Homestay and you will get an authentic Mekong experience

Homestay that feels like home

We stayed here for just one night in August 2017. What an amazing place, very quiet and serene, the food was awesome as was the owner who was just finishing building our family room when we arrived. Our only regret for this place was that we only booked and stayed one night. Had we not had flights booked from Saigon the following day we would have stayed longer. Highly recommended and you have to go on the excursions organised by the hotel, great fun if not a little dangerous riding the rickety bikes back at night with no lights and no brakes. All adds to the adventure I guess, how often do you get to tell stories of crashing your bike into some thorny bushes with your young son on the back who was screaming.......lol
