Phan Thiet is the largest town in Binh Thuan province, 200 km east of Saigon. With
the clear sky, the blue sea and abundant sand, Phan Thiet is a beautiful landscape.
Though today tourism plays a very important role in the local economy, Phan Thiet
is traditionally known for its fish sauce. As a fact, most travelers come to
Phan Thiet for heading to
Mui Ne Beach, 11km away.
What to Do ? Mui Ne Beach is the most visited place once coming to Phan Thiet beside other peaceful
beaches such as Doi Duong Beach and Hon Rom. Nearby Phan Thiet, visitors can explore
some historical and cultural sites including Ke Ga Light House, Thuy Tu Temple,
The lying Buddha, the Ong Hoang Building and the Poshanu Cham Tower. There are also
beautiful landscapes such as Suoi Tien (Fairy Spring) and Cau Isle.
When to go? The weather in
Phan Thiet is roughly the same all year – hot and dry with an average
temperature of around 27 degrees. The rainy season begins in May and runs through
October, but the rain is often light and sporadic. The waves are best from August
to December, and the wind is best from November to April, so never really a bad
time to go.
Travel Tips: Unless you are bypassing
Mui Ne Beach and looking for a place to sleep, hotels in
Phan Thiet tend to be noisy and are not cheap.
