Dak Lak Museum
This musty, little-visited museum has a small display of cultural artefacts and photographs about indigenous minority groups. The Ho Chi Minh quotation, posted boldly over a golden bust of him in the main hall, blithely declares that all ethnic minorities are ‘the children of Vietnam’ and ‘blood brothers’ to the Vietnamese.

Dak Lak Water Park
Strictly in the ‘if you have time to kill’ category, the waterslides at Dak Lak Water Park are a passable diversion on a hot afternoon. It’s about 4km from the centre of town, just before the bus station.

Thanh Bao Café
Stock up on coffee here – the price is lower and the quality higher than in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. You can buy whole beans or ground coffee at around 60,000d per 500g; better varieties cost more.

Thanh Loan
There’s only one thing on the menu: roll-your-own rice-paper rolls, with green vegies and herbs, fried pork, crunchy rice paper and raw garlic. Dunk the rolls in either a meaty broth or a mixture of fish sauce and chilli. It’s a light meal, but full of fresh flavours.
