A group stay in a large Thao Dien villa
The original photos and account show how a group used a large private villa in Thao Dien rather than splitting up across hotel rooms.
Mid-June, a gathering with friends in their late 50s.
Since we've known each other for decades, this time I really wanted to give them a proper 'rest'.
So the place we chose was a large pool villa in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City.
To put it simply, "This space has a scale and atmosphere you can't even imagine in South Korea!"
🏡 The moment we entered, we couldn't help but gasp in admiration
What greeted us the moment we arrived
✔ A wide open courtyard
✔ Large swimming pool
✔ Overwhelming sense of openness where the living room and kitchen are connected as one
"Hey, this place isn't just a resort, is it?"
It was so spacious that my friends had to gather around to speak, and even with 12 people inside, it didn't feel cramped at all.
🛋 It wasn't just a living room, but almost a 'performance venue' level space
✔ The sofas were wide enough for everyone to sit and even have some extra space, and very soft
✔ Karaoke equipment in one corner of the living room
✔ We had our own private stage where we could sing, clap, laugh, and chat without worrying about anyone watching us
It felt grand enough to call a concert hall instead of an ordinary karaoke room.
🍽 The kitchen and dining table were perfect for group travel
✔ A large dining table that could seat all 12 people at once
✔ We even requested a BBQ and grilled meat
✔ With a beer in hand, we could recount old memories one after another
Those moments when everyone shared and laughed were really precious and special 💛
The swimming pool isn't just a simple facility, but the 'core of healing'
The large swimming pool allows adults to swim comfortably, and after playing in the water, sitting on the terrace with a towel wrapped around, enjoying a slice of watermelon—would there be a more relaxed afternoon than this?
Another friend joked, “In Korea, you couldn’t get a layout like this even for ten million won a month!”
🛏 The bedrooms also exceeded our expectations.
✔ King-size beds in all bedrooms
✔ The space itself is spacious and comfortable
✔ The atmosphere blends antique charm with modern style
✔ Each room has a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, ensuring perfect sleep
As soon as I enter the room, I feel a sense of comfort settling over my whole body
📌 We enjoyed our day like this
✔ Morning – Lightly start with rice noodles at a nearby Thao Dien eatery within a 5-minute walk
✔ Morning: swim at the villa, then take a nap
✔ Lunch: stroll along Thao Dien’s main street and visit a café with character
✔ Afternoon – Book a massage shop to relax the body
✔ Evening: grill meat at the villa, then chat in the living room
✔ We ended the evening with a round of karaoke. 🎶
📍 The location was perfect
✔ Travel times noted on this trip: airport 35 minutes, District 1 15 minutes and District 7 30 minutes.
✔ A lineup of good eats in Thao Dien within a 5-minute walk
✔ Within a 10-minute walk, there are also romantic cafes and shopping infrastructure
You don’t need to drive far; everything is available around you.
💬 What I felt during this trip
✔ As we get older, the comfort a space provides becomes more important
✔ The moments when we laughed and chatted together feel much more precious
✔ If there's a good space, the relationship becomes deeper and more sincere.
