Giac Lam Pagoda, established in 1744, is the oldest surviving pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City. Set in the Tan Binh district away from tourist crowds, it offers a genuine glimpse into Vietnamese Buddhist traditions—a serene contrast to the bustling city.
A visit to Giac Lam brings calm to the spirit, and a massage afterward extends that peace to the body. The Tan Binh area, near the airport, also makes it convenient for travelers staying at airport hotels.
Giac Lam Pagoda is located in Tan Binh, one of Ho Chi Minh City's most visited areas.
Tan Binh is an urban district in Ho Chi Minh City and the home of Tan Son Nhat International Airport, making it a major transit and hospitality hub. MassageGo delivers professional in-room massage throughout Tan Binh from 400,000 VND. Hotels including Hotel Nikko Saigon and Tan Son Nhat Saigon Hotel are served, with Hoang Van Thu Park and Tan Binh Market as local landmarks.
Walking distance: Tan Binh district hotels and airport area hotels
“Giac Lam Pagoda in Tan Binh is genuinely off the tourist trail — incense, quiet courtyards, monks going about their day. Took a motorbike taxi back to the hotel afterwards. Booked a 60-minute foot massage — therapist arrived promptly and worked on my feet while I processed the morning. Very good combination.”
