Visiting My Son Sanctuary from Hoi An: What You Pay and How to Split It

The four costs of a half-day trip to My Son

1. Entry to the temple complex: 40,000 Vietnamese dong per person per entry, bought at the ticket counter at the gate of the site. It is the same for Vietnamese and international visitors, in effect from 10 August 2026.
2. Private car with a driver: charged per vehicle (4, 7 or 16 seats), not per person. It covers pickup at your hotel, the drive to the gate, waiting while your group visits and the return to the drop-off point.
3. Guide (optional): for groups who want an explanation of Cham temple architecture, reliefs and ancient rituals.
4. Food and drink: a regional meal on the way back and water inside the site.

Only the second item is paid to Sun Travel. The other three are paid on the spot to the site and the restaurants.

Entry to the temple complex

If you add the places below to the same trip, they are separate sites and charge separately:

When you buy tickets, ask the counter three things so you can work out the cash your group needs:

• whether the electric shuttle inside the site and the Cham dance performances are included in the 40,000 Vietnamese dong ticket or charged separately, and if separately, how much;
• which groups are exempt or get a reduction (children, older people, people with disabilities, policy beneficiaries) and which documents to bring; bring an ID card or passport for everyone in the group;
• whether the ticket can be used to leave and re-enter, or only for a single entry.

Round-trip private car from Hoi An

The Hoi An to My Son route has a listed round-trip price, with the car waiting while you visit. The price is per vehicle and includes fuel, road tolls (BOT) and parking fees on the listed route, so you know the transport cost before you go and it does not depend on a meter.

• You choose the arrival and departure times. If you want to catch a particular performance slot, mention it when you send your request so the arrival time can be worked out.
• Split per person. A 7-seat car with 5 passengers divides the car cost by 5, with pickup and drop-off at your hotel.
• Staying longer than planned. Tell the driver or dispatch in advance so the schedule can be balanced.

Guide and food

Guide at the site

Hire rates, the languages offered and the length of the tour are set by the site management, so ask the staff at the ticket counter when you buy your tickets, and ask whether the price is per group or per person so you can split the cost across your party.

Food after the visit

On the way back, the Nam Phuoc and Cau Mong areas have many restaurants serving Quang specialities. Prices follow each restaurant’s menu, so count by the number of people in your group:

• Cau Mong smoked veal (be thui): smoked veal rolled in rice paper with fresh herbs and fermented anchovy sauce, usually ordered by the plate for the whole table.
• Quang noodles (mi Quang): eaten by the bowl, one portion each.

Adding it up by group size

Take the ticket price times the number of people who must buy a ticket (40,000 Vietnamese dong each), add the car cost for the vehicle size, then add meals and a guide if you hire one, and divide by the number of people.

The car is charged per trip, not per seat, so for groups of four or more the transport share per person is lighter while you still control the departure time.
