Hi, I'm Son
I've lived in Vung Tau for almost a year. This site is my notebook, and you're welcome to use it as a guide for travelling, living and getting through everyday life here.
Why this site exists
I moved to Vung Tau almost a year ago. Since then I've eaten at a lot of places and sat in a lot of cafes. Friends and strangers kept asking where to go, so I started writing it down. This is that notebook: restaurants, street food, cafes, hotels and guesthouses, for anyone staying for a weekend or for months.
How I choose
I only mark a place Verified by Son after I've been there myself, and I note the month I visited. Places suggested by readers show as Community until I've checked them. I tell you what to order, what to skip, and whether the wifi is good enough to work.
Nothing hidden
Everything on this site lives in a public file on GitHub, so every change is visible. There is no database and no hidden backend.
