💡 Come at golden hour for the best light on the brickwork — the tower is lit after dark too, but the surrounding traffic makes it noisy.

Phan Thiet Night Market Free

💡 Head to the seafood grill stalls at the far end — they use a local satay sauce that's much better than the touristy ones near the entrance.

Dong Trieu Lake Free

💡 Go around 6 AM to see locals exercising and feeding the fish — there's a small koi pond near the pagoda that kids enjoy for free.

Reclining Buddha at Linh Truong Pagoda Free

💡 Climb the stairs behind the main hall for a panorama of Phan Thiet's rooftops and the sea — most tourists stop at the Buddha and miss this view.
