It only take 10 to 15 minutes to travel to Saigon's premier boutique hotel and spa resort: Thao Dien Village -- or to the ever popular riverside restaurant: The Deck. The Cu Chi tunnel is only a one hour boat ride from the central pier and then thirty minutes by land. This is the fastest and most pleasurable way to get to the best destinations in Saigon.
