Soc Trang, a cultural mosaic in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, enchants with its stunning Khmer pagodas – most notably the clay‑and‑tile Bat Pagoda (Chua Doi) and the majestic Khleang Pagoda. Watch thousands of bats roost at dusk, explore the floating market of Nga Nam, and savour unique coconut‑based treats. The province’s vibrant Ok Om Bok festival, with traditional moon‑worshipping and oxcart races, celebrates Khmer heritage. For travelers seeking authentic culture off the main tourist trail, Soc Trang offers peaceful canals, colourful temples, and warm, genuine hospitality. According to Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15, from July 1, 2025, the entire area and population of Soc Trang province will be merged into Can Tho city.
