The Directions
| It takes about an hour and a half to drive here by motorbike from Hoi An. This is a pleasant (if busy) ride for the most part, but the 3.5km section of highway can be challenging – especially on the way back when you can completely miss the small slip road back to Hoi An. |

Top Descriptions
| If you come here expecting something to rival Angkor Wat, you will no doubt be disappointed. But if you visit My Son with a keen interest in nature, archaeology and anthropology, you will likely enjoy the site. The scenery is pleasant and the drive out here a worthwhile (if potentially dangerous) excursion. Do keep in mind though that this site isn’t huge, the ruins aren’t in amazing condition, and some obvious restoration work has been done. – Daniel |

Top Tips
| If you decide to go inside some of the open temples, do keep an eye out for the huntsman spiders that like to lurk there ;). |
| To save yourself 4kms of walking, catch the electric shuttle bus from the ticket office to the main site. |
| Aim to arrive here for sunrise or after 2pm if you want to avoid sharing the site with large tour groups. |
