The Victoria Chau Doc Hotel offers front seat views of the river habitat with its famous floating fish farming villages, floating markets and Cham villages. Deep in the Mekong Delta, Chau Doc town is 280 km (174 miles) south-west of Ho Chi Minh City close to the Cambodian border. Such proximity to Cambodia has been nurturing the eclectic mix of Cham, Khmer, Chinese and Vietnamese cultures and historical richness. Linking Chau Doc and Phnom Penh, Victoria Speedboats are the ideal means to cruise the Mekong River. The journey takes 5 hours from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh.
