Phan Thiet accommodation from AU$21

For rest, relaxation and sunshine visit Rang Beach - described by the locals as ‘nestled in the middle of a coconut palm forest’ - a beautiful beach dotted with cafes along the beach front that offer a great way to enjoy the ambience of surf and sun. Or for beach activities visit Mui Ne Beach - famous for its wind and kite surfing - a long white sandy beach with spectacular sand dunes behind the beach. For those shutterbugs out there, the best photos are taken in the afternoon when the light changes!

Wind your way through windswept sand dunes, past shimmering water hazards and green palm trees while the sea breeze keeps you cool. Golf lovers will be enchanted by the tropical delights of the Ocean Dunes golf course.

For activities away from the sunshine, beachside and your Phan Thiet resort, walk along the Ca Ty River until you get to the small fishing harbour - you’ll be guaranteed a great photo - vibrant in colour with many styles of fishing boats. The Ho Chi Minh Museum will provide you with an excellent overview of life in modern Vietnam and gain a better understanding of Ho Chi Minh. The Van Thuy Tu (Whale Museum) will offer you a valuable look into the traditions of the local fisherman who were ‘protected and guided’ to safety by whales. The Cham towers (just outside of Phan Thiet) offer great views of the harbour and city, and not to mention how impressively old (8th century) the towers are.
