A lovely and relaxing trip up the perfume river with our guide to visit the Thien Mu pagoda 🛕and hear the chanting Buddhist monks 🙏🏻 It is also home to the Austin car upon which the head monk set fire to himself in 1963 in Saigon to protest against the suppression of the Buddhist religion in Vietnam. Our guide was very informative and the boat people charming.
