Phan Thiet is the
largest town in Binh Thuan province with an estimated population of
close to 100,000 people. The town sits on the borders of Ca Ty
river, is 20 Km from the ocean and swells with boats during the
fishing season in the summer months.
A few kilometers East of Phan Thiet are some of the most beautiful
stretches of beaches in Vietnam. Some are lined with tall coconut
trees, others lean against vast red sand dunes.
Phan Thiet is 198km from Ho Chi Minh City, 247km from Dalat,
250km from Nha Trang. National Highway 1 passes through Phan Thiet.
All vehicles going north or south along the coasts pass through the
town.
