June sits in the heart of the Mekong Delta’s rainy season. Water levels are rising across the delta’s extensive waterway network, flooding parts of the flat plains. The region enters “mua nuoc noi” — the floating season — where much of rural life shifts to boats and elevated platforms. It’s a deeply local experience for adventurous travellers.
