Visit Phan Thiet
One of Vietnam’s most important fishing villages, Phan Thiet is surrounded by the South China Sea and is approximately 200 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. During the Vietnam War, the city was host to the now closed US military base known as Landing Zone Betty. The easiest way to get into Phan Thiet is via train from Ho Chi Minh City. Once in the city use of a bicycle or motorbike (often available at your local Phan Thiet hotel), is the easiest way to see all the sites.
Fishing is the main industry and done primarily as a family business. Tourists are able to watch much of the production, from the building of the round fishing boats to the drying and bottling of fish sauce.
Developed in the mid-90’s as a tourist stop, the area is the kite-surfing and water sports capital of Vietnam. Being a coastal city, there is no dearth of beaches, with some of the most beautiful stretches found nearby to many of the varied Phan Thiet accommodations. Tourists flock to the Mue Ne Beaches and the Mui Ne sand dunes, which are about 20 kilometers from the city. Bai Rang or Rang Beach is the most beautiful of all and described by the locals as “nestled in the middle of coconut palm forest”. This beach is also home to the landmarks Da Ong Dia or the “boulders of the Earth God”, and Suoi Tien the “celestial stream”.
