Phan Thiet is the capital of Binh Thuan province, a town best known in Vietnam for its fishing industry and many factories producing a staple of Vienamese cuisine: fish sauce. Bordering the Ca Ty River the town is home to one of Vietnam's most impressive fishing armadas - a stroll through the busy fish market is an experience for all the senses !
The city is blessed by its proximity to Cape Mui Ne, a 21 kilometre long stretch of fine sandy beach. This quite and beautiful area is home to many lovely hotels, discreetly hidden among the tropical plants and trees, together with relaxed bars and restaurants lining the quiet coast road that runs 500m inland from the sea.
