Tra Su Bird Sanctuary, Chau Doc

Tra Su bird sanctuary, about 25 kilometres from Chau Doc is a surprisingly serene and beautiful spot. I'm told it's at its best between September and November when the Mekong is peaking with wet season rains. Even during my April visit in the depths of the dry season, I saw bird life and loved the atmosphere as we paddled through small shaded canals. You don't need to be an avid bird watcher to enjoy it.
