Looking for an easy escape from Saigon today? Instead of rushing through crowded buses, imagine a quieter ride where the city slowly fades into riverside scenery. Choose our Ho Chi Minh to My Tho private car for a comfortable car, a friendly driver, and the freedom to pause whenever something catches your eye. It’s less about “getting there fast” and more about enjoying the journey at your own pace.
Mỹ Tho is the capital city of Tien Giang Province and a well-known gateway to the Mekong Delta. This charming destination attracts visitors with its river landscapes, floating life, and lush fruit orchards.
The Ho Chi Minh to My Tho distance is approximately 70 km (about 44 miles). Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours via the Trung Luong Expressway. For travelers going from Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho or Saigon to My Tho, this route is one of the easiest and most accessible in southern Vietnam.
Among all transport options, we recommend a private car for its door-to-door convenience and time efficiency.
