Chau Doc - home of many Kinh (Vietnam’s ethnic majority), Khmer, Cham and Chinese people is only a few kilometers from the Cambodian border and located on the Hau diffluence (Bassac River). There is lively boat traffic on the river and also an impressive floating market. The street market is worth a visit too. One of the pleasures of visiting Chau Doc is simply walking around; the river bank is a popular spot. Locals are a little shy but may talk to you as you walk. Chau Doc may be a little city, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in colours and is probably the only place where pastel colours are chosen to beautify store fronts.
