Le Mat
In the Temple of Literature

Has anyone been to Le Mat (the snake village)? Is it cool? What's the best way to get there for a motorbikeless person? Would I need to hire a guide if my Vietnamese is dodgy, or is it the kind of place I can just show up at?

I've been there and it was a blast. We had a large party so we took taxis (it's not particularly far). It was a year or so ago and there was lots of drinking so I'm hazy on the details.

I'd recommend getting a group of people together - you'll want someone to take your picture as you scoff the still-beating heart of a reptile. Ideally you'd have a few drinks beforehand as it can be expensive over there and they've got the warm bottled beer thing going on. You don't need to speak vietnamese - just point at what you want to eat.

I wish I could remember the name of the place we went as it was excellent. Perhaps someone with a better memory has a recommendation?

I haven't been there. I will probably go sooner or later, but I'm not interested in all that mola ram eating hearts kind of shit. I was wondering what kind of snakes they have, and if they have constrictors you can buy. A python or even something like a rat snake would have probably done wonders for some of my old apartments here. Might even help with some of the neighborhood children.
