Saigon Sky Deck, Bitexco Tower. http://www.bitexcofinancialtower.com/?page_id=1547 I seem to have this thing, wherever i have been to om ny travels, be it Munich, Saigon, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, anywhere really, that i seem to search out the tallest buildings and take the guided tour to the top and enjoy the vista's of that city, and Saigon is no different. Cant remember the cost of the ticket, but i dont recall it being that expensive (Edit; just found my ticket, and the cost was 200,000 VND, thats roughly £6/300 Baht). Well worth the visit to the deck, and if the weather is good, like on

Managed to come across this site compeltely by chancem, so managed to tick off another famous site of Saigon, that i believe not too many tourists, or board members have ever seen, so i hope i have shown you something you have never seen in Saigon. This is the site of Thich Quang Duc, the "burning monk", one of the most famous scene's to have ever have been captured onto film.!!! Im not entirely sure, but im led to believe that this tree/pot plant represents the spot where Thich Quang Duc set himself on fire..........

Saigon zoo, it doesnt exactly get a very good write up on Tripadvisor, and mainly has people slating them for the conditions the animals are in, but to be honest, ive seen a lot worse conditions in Thai Zoo's. Located not far from the centre of the city, Saigon zoo i found to be a nice retreat from the hustle and traffic of the city. Cant remember the entrance fee, but it cant of been more than 20,000 VND. The grounds seem to be quite big but as it started to rain when i was there, i think i missed quite a bit of the gardens area out. Its worthy of a couple of hours to tour around, and see

A review of the EMM Hotel, Saigon. For my stay in Saigon last month, i stayed at the EMM Hotel, which is located at 157 Pasteur Street, which is actually in District 3, but is only 900m to the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum. Pastuer Street actually runs side-by-side with the main road in from the airport, so its easy to get to.(As far as im aware, there is no website yet for the hotel, but the Qresidence is located in the lower floors of the building ans is owned by the same people,) http://qresidence-vn.com/ I booked this hotel through www.agoda.com, but it is also list

The Reunification Palace, Saigon. I was told before i arrived here that it was only worth about an hour's visit, as there really wasnt anything here to see. I found that to be wrong, and ebded up staying about 2.5 hours, but then again, i was fascinated y the whole place, and found it great to wonder around. Located on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in District 1, it is literally a stone's throw from the War Remnants Museum, and the Catheral and Post Office. Open everyday, but closed at lunch times, the cost was 30,000VND ($1/£0.55) It was the most expensive museum that i came across in the whol -
The War Remnants Museum, Saigon. Located on Vo Van Tan Street, District 3, is fairly easy to find as you cant miss the tanks and aircraft everywhere. Entrance is only 15,000VND(£0.40/$0.75),its as cheap as chips, and is a fantastic day out, thats if you have an interest in anything Military or in the Vietnam Conflict. Obviously, its all about the American connection, but there is a section that goes into some detail about the Vietnamese torturing other Vietnamese, and reading some of the signs there, you realise they were just as bad and ruthless as the Americans and each other! ******WA
