Bến Cát is in Bình Dương province north of Ho Chi Minh City, in the industrial belt that has grown rapidly around the capital of the south. It is dominated by industrial parks and worker housing rather than an old town centre.
The area is industrial and has few visitor attractions of its own. The Củ Chi tunnels lie to the south and are the region's best-known historical site, and Ho Chi Minh City is within a straightforward drive.
Motorbikes dominate and ride-hailing on two wheels is the quickest way around. Buses connect toward Ho Chi Minh City, and traffic on the industrial corridor is heavy at shift changes.
The dry season from late in the year through spring is the most comfortable. The wet season brings heavy afternoon downpours, and the whole year is hot and humid.
Vietnam uses the VND, calling code +84.
Vietnam uses the đồng, and Vietnamese is the language with limited English outside the city. Cash is still widely used alongside growing mobile payment.
