“Solo travellers staying near Ninh Kieu Pier for a night or two often find the board game table is where the actual trip-planning happens: someone who did the floating market boat that morning compares notes with someone booking it for tomorrow, over a card game that started because the lounge had nothing else on. WELKOM INN's dinner-then-games format works especially well for a traveller arriving alone with no set plans for the evening.”
