Chronicles of Phan Thiet
Phan Thiet, the capital of Binh Thuan Province, has its roots in the 17th century as a small fishing village. The city's architecture reflects its coastal heritage, with many traditional Vietnamese houses and temples still standing today. In recent years, Phan Thiet has become a popular destination for kitesurfing and wind-surfing enthusiasts, thanks to its consistent winds and sandy dunes. The city's Mui Ne Sand Dunes, a 5km stretch of golden sand, are a major tourist draw. Today, Phan Thiet is a thriving coastal town with a strong sense of community and a growing expat population.

Top Attractions in Phan Thiet
💡 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.
💡 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.
💡 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.
💡 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.
💡 Avoid the kids selling sand sledges at the entrance — buy a cheap plastic sheet from a local shop in Mui Ne town for 10,000 VND instead.
