We talk about the two most popular resorts in Vietnam - Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. What are they good for and what are the disadvantages of resorts? We give reviews of tourists and prices for holidays in 2019.

Perhaps no resort has received such conflicting reviews from tourists as the Vietnamese Mui Ne (Phan Thiet). Some scold him mercilessly, others admire him and gladly recommend him for a visit. Let's try to understand the reasons for such ambiguous assessments.

Phan Thiet and Mui Ne:

Reviews about the rest in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet for 2018

Often, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are identified with each other, although these are different settlements located in the neighborhood. Phan Thiet is a provincial town with active traffic and other joys of city life, and Mui Ne is a quiet fishing village. Most often, tourists call Mui Ne a multi-kilometer beach area with hotels and restaurants, stretching from Phan Thiet to the village.

The busiest area of ​​the resort is Ham Tien with Nguyen Din Chu Street, on both sides of which there are hotels and restaurants, mainly on the first line. The beaches are equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds. The sandy strip is wide, with fine white sand, but narrows closer to the fishing village, by the way, the hotels are cheaper there, but the beaches are worse.

The disadvantages of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, according to tourists who rested there in 2018, include difficulties with the road: you need to fly to Ho Chi Minh City, and from there it takes a few more hours to get by bus or taxi. But the main displeasure of some tourists caused the sea. In Mui Ne, winds blow most of the time, high waves rise on the sea, and swimming takes on an extreme character. It is better to get out to the beach in the morning, after lunch the excitement only intensifies. The sea becomes relatively calm only in spring.

For lovers of kiting in Mui Ne, a real expanse, there are several good schools where beginners can get training and get necessary skills. In the evenings, the main entertainment for tourists is walking, shopping in souvenir shops and dinner on the seashore - seafood is excellently prepared here. If a beach holiday gets boring, you can go on a tour of the surrounding area or go to Ho Chi Minh City, or Dalat.

By the way, tourists who do not speak English will find it easy here - almost all signs and menus are in Russian, service staff also often Russian-speaking. The second undoubted plus of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, according to the reviews of tourists, is the affordable cost of rest, although, when compared with Nha Trang, the prices here are slightly higher.

Weather in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet

The warm climate of Mui Ne allows you to relax here all year round, not afraid of sharp cold snaps and heavy rains. A natural belt of sand dunes has formed around Mui Ne, which create a special microclimate and protect the area from heavy rainfall. Even dangerous storms with floods bypass these places.

The average annual temperature in Mui Ne is kept at around +30°C with a slight "winter" drop to +25...+27°C. The warmest sea in summer is +27...+29°С, in winter it cools down to +24°С. The hottest in May and April, the coldest -. Nevertheless, many prefer to come.

Rains begin in June and continue until October, then dry and clear weather sets in. However, in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, even in low season showers do not last long - usually after lunch and in the evening, relative humidity air is maintained at 79%.

According to tourists' reviews of the weather in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, in December - January due to strong winds it gets a little chilly in the evenings, so jeans and windbreakers will come in handy. High waves rise on the sea. Read more about - we talk about the weather in each month.

In the vicinity of Mui Ne there are unique attractions that you can visit with a tour or on your own. Briefly the top most interesting places looks like that:

  1. White and Red Dunes. These are the main attractions of Mui Ne and a favorite place for photo shoots for newlyweds. The Red Dunes are easily accessible by renting a scooter, the White Dunes are a little further away. Near the Red Dunes, the Red Creek flows - due to the admixture of clay, the water in it turns red. Not far from the White Dunes are hot springs and very beautiful lake with lotuses.
  2. Cham towers. These towers are the surviving part of the ancient temple complex of the 8th century. Entrance fee - 10 thousand dong, or 50 cents. The towers look especially impressive in evening time when the backlight turns on.
  3. Lighthouse Ke Ga. A granite creation by a French architect and a very popular local attraction. The lighthouse is located on an island near Phan Thiet. To climb to the observation deck, you will have to show physical endurance and overcome 182 steps inside the tower. Entrance is paid - about 90 cents, besides, you need to pay for the crossing to the island. According to tourists, in the winter of 2018, the territory where the lighthouse is located was called the collapse zone and visitors were no longer allowed inside. Let's hope this is temporary.
  4. Mount Taku. Located 30 km from Mui Ne. At the top is the statue of the Reclining Buddha, the largest in the country. Its length is 49 meters, height - 11 m. You can climb the mountain by funicular or walk along the path through a tropical forest past the temples and other buildings of the monks. The cost of visiting with a cable car costs 160,000 dong (7 dollars).

Hotel prices in 2019

On a note. If you are in a resort during the Vietnamese New Year, keep in mind that hotel prices are rising dramatically and there are no places in them - they are booked by the Vietnamese almost six months in advance. We encountered this when we lived in Nha Trang in the winter of 2016 - we had to leave for Ho Chi Minh City, because the hotel where we lived was full on Tet, and others cost 2-3 times higher than the regular price. Tet is celebrated in late January or early February.

How to book a hotel? You can find a convenient accommodation option for yourself on the well-known Roomguru.ru service - the site compares the prices of the most different systems booking and finds the best one.

In general, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are a good alternative and (although you don’t need to wait for the corresponding Turkish resorts service), a place for an inexpensive and relaxing holiday, where the main entertainment is walking, beach joys, gatherings in cafes and unobtrusive shopping. Fans of night parties and divers have nothing to do here - there is no nightlife, and water often mixes with sand due to constant waves, muddy and opaque.

According to tourists, they are characterized by high waves and winds, so during this period you should not plan a vacation with children, but it is better to postpone it to March-April or November. At this time, the most comfortable temperature indicators, a very warm sea, and the waves are insignificant.

Kiting lovers can go at any time of the year, because the winds in Mui Ne are a common phenomenon, but the most best waves here from November to March. Those who want to save on costs can safely go during the low season: prices in hotels and restaurants are reduced, and climatic conditions allow you to relax comfortably.

Compare Mui Ne and Phan Thiet with - so you can choose the most the best place for relax.

Mui Ne is a small village in the south of Vietnam, but it attracts Russian tourists very much. Why? One street is about 5 km long, along which hotels, cafes, bokeh (restaurants with live seafood), souvenir shops are built. The sea is restless, quite powerful waves and always a strong wind. No wonder Mui Ne is called a paradise for surfers (and kitesurfers): they feel good here. But why tourists go to Mui Ne, counting on a beach holiday, we don’t understand this.

Nevertheless, we felt this calm, peaceful atmosphere of Mui Ne on ourselves: you don’t want to fuss here, life flows calmly and measuredly. Maybe this is what our compatriots come here for, neglecting the interesting, bright and beachy, but noisy and restless Nha Trang? One thing we know for sure: we couldn't last longer than a week in Mui Ne, it's good for a reset, but not for a long life. Of course, this is our personal opinion, based on our rhythm of life and our interests.

Phan Thiet on the map of Vietnam:


What is the sea in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet?

The message Vietnam washes the South China Sea, but in different coastal areas it behaves differently. As I wrote above, this sea in Mui Ne is restless.

The peculiarities of the location of the village are that the winds always blow here, all year round. Stronger winds blow in winter - this time is called "season". In fact, it is the season for kitesurfers and surfers, who are primarily attracted to Mui Ne by this constant wind allowing you to ride every day.

Kitesurf schools in Mui Ne at every step

But for ordinary tourists, the sea in Mui Ne is not very suitable: strong waves make it dangerous for swimming with children, plus kitesurfers and surfers are constantly spinning around the swimmers, which is why there is a threat to get hit on the head with a board.

In the "off season" (that is, in summer), the sea in Mui Ne is calmer, the winds are not so strong. However, the sea is cloudy. After the rains, a lot of garbage comes ashore, which is why the beach is very dirty.

The beach in Mui Ne lasts for a single street. From the beginning of the street (we will consider the part that is closer to the Red Dunes as the beginning) and approximately to the middle, the beach looks extremely unpresentable: just steps into the sea, without a sandy strip. There are low tides, during which you can see a thin strip of wet sand, but mostly vacationers in hotels in this area have to swim, entering the sea from the stairs.

In the afternoon the sea reaches the steps

The other part of Mui Ne beach (which is located closer to Phan Thiet) looks pretty good: a wide sandy strip, sunbeds and umbrellas. We were on this beach in the "off season", in June, so the beaches are so deserted.


Every evening in Mui Ne, we observed low tides, during which many beautiful shells appear on the shore.

We also noticed that there are a lot of jellyfish in Mui Ne, in Nha Trang there are much fewer of them, and they appear quite rarely, mainly in autumn.

Despite the fact that during our stay in Mui Ne the sea was quite calm, there was no desire to go into it and swim. Fortunately, our hotel on the beach had a great pool. By the way, we noticed that almost all hotels on the beach in Mui Ne have a swimming pool. Maybe all tourists in the village, just like us, are saved by a pool overlooking the sea?

In fairness, it is worth saying that in Mui Ne you can find a decent beach. We read that one of these is available at the Sea Links hotel (the same one on whose territory the Wine Castle is located).

You can choose and book a hotel in Mui Ne with good discounts here:

Distance from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet (Mui Ne)

Mui Ne is located 220 km from Nha Trang, Phan Thiet is a little further - 240 km.

The road from Nha Trang to Mui Ne on the map:

How long to travel from Nha Trang to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there

The easiest way to get from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is by intercity bus - slipbus. A ticket for it can be bought at numerous street travel agencies in Nha Trang or at the bus stations of Sinh Tourist, Hanh Café, Futa Bus, Nam Phuong. We bought a ticket from The Sinh Tourist, a ticket for one person cost 109,000 VND ($4.6).

On the way, the bus is about 5 hours, but they fly by very quickly: in the slipbus you can comfortably sit, practically lying down, sleep, read, watch interesting videos(there is free Wi-Fi). The bus makes 2 stops for 15-20 minutes, during which you can go to the toilet, have a snack in a cafe or just stretch your legs.

Sleepbus Nha Trang Mui Ne

Traveling from Nha Trang to Mui Ne on a bike is quite difficult, and we strongly advise against overcoming this path in this way. It's not just about fatigue, but also about huge trucks that drive along the highway at breakneck speed, under the wheels of which our Russian guys very often die, traveling between cities on their own. The Vietnamese are in contact with trucks very carefully, there is an unspoken rule here: the larger the car, the more important it is. Russians are used to equality on the roads, and perhaps that is why everything ends tragically.

Distance from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there

From Ho Chi Minh to Phan Thiet - 191 km, to Mui Ne - 214 km.

The road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne on the map:

You can get there in the same way as from Nha Trang - on a slipbus. Travel time and ticket price are the same: about 5 hours and 110,000 VND ($4.6).

Nha Trang or Mui Ne (Phan Thiet): which is better?

For us, the answer to this question is obvious: of course Nha Trang! Mui Ne has only one single advantage - sparsely populated, and as a result, peace. For some, another advantage of Mui Ne, compared to Nha Trang, is the cheapness of housing. It really is: remove small house possible for just $ 150−170.

You won’t find such prices in Nha Trang, for this amount per month you can only rent a room in a guesthouse. But for us, this plus is not a plus, because we don’t want to live in small Vietnam-style houses, but modern apartments there is simply no European style in Mui Ne.

You can, of course, live not in Mui Ne, but in Phan Thiet itself. This city is quite modern, slightly smaller than Nha Trang in size, but with a developed infrastructure: apartment buildings, shopping centers and places for walking.

Deserted main street in Mui Ne, and it's already lunch time

Where are all the people?


And this is Phan Thiet: livelier here

But still, Phan Thiet (and even more so Mui Ne) loses to Nha Trang in many ways:

  • Sea. In Nha Trang, even on the city beach in the season (from April to September), the sea is calm, clear, without waves. Well, or not big waves occasionally, bringing garbage, but in Mui Ne this garbage and these waves are permanent, and in Nha Trang - a temporary phenomenon. And not far from Nha Trang there are paradise beaches from the category of "bounty":,. You can spend all weekend there.
  • Infrastructure. Not even in Mui Ne big stores where you can buy household items. For everything you need to go to Phan Thiet, which takes time and money (if you don’t have your own bike). In Mui Ne, there are only small Vietnamese "all in one" shops and a few supermarkets, but the prices are higher than in ordinary shops. There are no hospitals in Mui Ne (only small private clinics), and what am I talking about - there is not even a gas station in Mui Ne! Seriously, in order to fill up the bike, you need to find a gas cart outside some cafes. This gasoline is more expensive than at gas stations, and one can only guess about its quality - any Vietnamese will not miss the opportunity to dilute gasoline for extra profit.

There are some pretty bridges in Phan Thiet

  • Attractions and interesting places. If in Nha Trang you need to choose what to visit, then in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet you can see everything in 2 days. And the rest of the day is spent exclusively on the beach or by the pool. Maybe for some this is a plus. Of course, you can always find excursions from Mui Ne to other cities.
  • Fun with kids. In Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, we found only two entertainments for children: a mini-zoo near Fairy Creek and a children's play area in Lotte Mart in Phan Thiet. For comparison, in Nha Trang for children there are play areas in each mall(and them), an amusement park where for 10-15 thousand dongs you can ride any attraction, climb in a maze, catch toy fish and go to a 5-D cinema. And in Nha Trang there is Vinpearl. And a lot of children's shops. Read our article on.
  • Transport. Of course, Mui Ne has a local shuttle bus that runs between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. Strictly speaking, there is no need for more. In Nha Trang, the distances between objects are quite large, but you can get to any place by city bus for 8000 VND ($0.4). And even Zoklet Beach, located 50 km from Nha Trang, can be reached by bus for 24,000 VND ($1). I believe that transport in Nha Trang is developed to an acceptable level - convenient for both locals and tourists.

Summing up, we see how much more advantages Nha Trang has over Mui Ne. I understand that there are people who dearly love Mui Ne for peace and quiet, we ourselves liked it for its tranquility. But we ourselves would choose Mui Ne only for a short vacation, when you just want to relax by the sea or pool. But not for a busy vacation, and even more so for a long life.

Watch a short video from Mui Ne:

Not so long ago, Russian tourists discovered one of the resorts in Vietnam - Phan Thiet. The place, beloved by many, is located in the center of the country, and many liked it, first of all, for its soft and comfortable climate. Suffice it to say that average temperature air throughout the year here - 27 degrees Celsius. Hospitable Vietnamese treat tourists with pleasure original dishes from seafood. For visitors - a magnificent sandy beach with a convenient entrance to the sea.

Geographical position

Phan Thiet is located in the south of Vietnam, in the province of Binh Huang, on the picturesque coast of the warm South China Sea. The area of ​​the resort is two hundred square kilometers. The nearest city is Ho Chi Minh City (distance - 240 kilometers).

Infrastructure

Today, many of our compatriots go on vacation to Vietnam. Phan Thiet (Mui Ne is a popular resort) attracts tourists from all over the world. The best hotels are concentrated here, distinguished by modern and original design, excellent technical equipment and an excellent level of European service. The beach stretches for 22 kilometers, being the longest in Vietnam. Every year, the infrastructure of the recreation area is being developed and improved in this country.

And lovers of picturesque nature will certainly be interested in pink and white dunes. However, nothing can compare with the impression that Red Canyon makes on all visitors. Its walls are a mixture of red clay and sandstone, and this local landmark was formed due to soil erosion. This process is still going on, and after a while the canyon will disappear, so tourists who want to admire this miracle of nature should hurry up with a trip to Vietnam.

Another attraction of these places is the Lost, or Lost Sea. This lake is located in the depths of the forest on the border of the provinces of Dong Nai and Binh Thuan. The locals named it so because of its size, which at first made people think that it was really the sea in front of them, which had taken about 1000 hectares from the forest. During the rainy season, it triples. Mount Katong rises to the east of the reservoir.

Poskhanu towers

This is the legacy of the Champa people. Once they were part of an ancient temple complex. Fairies, daughters of the goddess Po Nagar, are worshiped here. Three towers are the most preserved today. Their age is estimated at thirteen centuries. Champa is distinguished by a special architectural style - false doors, rounded columns, reminiscent of Khmer temple buildings. Every year for the first moon month Roh Mbanga and Riji Nuta festivals are held near the towers.

Lighthouse "Ke Ga"

It is located four kilometers from Phan Thiet. This is one of the most famous places in the small province of Binh Thuan. In 1897, the lighthouse was built by the French architect Shenavat. The height of the structure is 64 meters. It was recognized as the most beautiful lighthouse in Southeast Asia. The octagonal tower is crowned with a lantern capable of illuminating distances of twenty-two

Mui Ne fishing village

So the local fishermen named their village. In the season of storms, they took refuge here. In translation, "mui" means an island or a cape, "not" means a shelter. clear blue waters, bright sun, snow-white sand created a magnificent landscape that is pleasing to the eyes of guests from abroad. Apart from exciting excursions, tourists can watch the hard daily work of fishermen, take part in fishing.

Flora and fauna

The forests in these places are ancient. Here you can see a countless number of the most diverse orchids, perfectly coexisting with trees, which are also very diverse - sandalwood, arborvitae, cypress, etc. The depths of the sea hide the variety of fish; many birds nest on its shores, and whoever is not here - from unpretentious pheasants to majestic peacocks.

Phan Thiet town

The picturesque area near the calm Phan Thiet River was inhabited many centuries ago, but until the twentieth century it remained a quiet, unknown fishing town, or rather, even a village. In ancient times, it was part of the Champa kingdom. Despite their rather modest size, locality played a significant role in the history of the country and gave the Vietnamese people several outstanding figures of history and culture. Vietnam has many resorts and exotic places. One of them is the resort of Phan Thiet (Vietnam). The townspeople (the population is approximately 200 thousand people) are very hospitable and cordial. Those of them who are not employed in the tourism business earn by fishing or agriculture like their distant ancestors. The main nationalities living in this territory are the Viet, Tyam, Hoa. Everyone who comes to this pretty town is pleasantly surprised that most of the locals speak good English and Russian. This greatly facilitates communication. It must be said that the development of tourism has significantly improved the well-being of the population.

Economy, transport

Perhaps the most significant drawback of this resort can be considered the lack of international airport. But it's not that scary. Arriving in Vietnam, you will find yourself in Ho Chi Minh City, from which it is very easy to get to Phan Thiet. It offers trains, buses, taxis (the cost of the latter, by the way, is quite affordable). Tourists prefer to travel around the city by taxi or rented car, which will cost eight dollars a day. All hotels in the city provide this service.

Where can you stay

Vietnam hotels (Phan Thiet is no exception in this sense) - buildings of modern construction with an original design, well-equipped in technical terms. A variety of hotels are presented to the attention of tourists - these can be modest 3 * rooms or excellent 4 * and 5 * apartments. All of them have a set of necessary services.

If you are going to go to Vietnam, tours (Phan Thiet is definitely included in the list of the most popular ones) must be negotiated with the tour operator in advance. What number do you want? If you are planning a vacation with children, make sure that they have their own room. In addition, it is necessary to discuss other services provided by the hotel - internet, cable TV, air conditioning and others.

Another important issue is food. In Vietnam, it is one or two times a day. Buffet is offered by all hotels in Vietnam. Phan Thiet strikes many tourists with a varied menu. Trying all the treats offered at breakfast or dinner is almost impossible. It offers a variety of seafood and meat dishes. Various vegetables and fruits are presented in abundance. Sweet tooth will be delighted great choice ice cream and drinks. European cuisine prevails in hotels, and those who like to taste something exotic should go to the nearest cafe or restaurant.

Today we will present to your attention several hotels. They are most popular among tourists coming to Vietnam. Rest (Phan Thiet guarantees you this) will take place on highest level if you stay at the Swiss Village Resort 5 *. It stands on a magnificent white sandy beach, in the middle of a coconut grove. The complex was built at the expense of a Vietnamese architect who has lived in Switzerland since 1966. A few years ago he returned to his homeland.

The concept of the hotel's architectural style is based on Asian cultures, embodied in buildings with round roofs and rounded columns. The exquisitely decorated rooms are equipped according to Swiss standards. The hotel has two restaurants, four bars, a beauty salon, a business center, a gift shop, a library, and a fitness center. Each room is equipped with a radio, telephone, paid mini-bar, air conditioning, hair dryer. It is possible to connect a modem and a fax. A playroom, a mini club, a swimming pool, babysitting services, an equipped playground are organized for children.

Pandanus Resolt 4 * - this hotel is located on the seashore. It features a stylish design, an abundance of greenery and fountains. total area- ten acres. The hotel has 134 comfortable rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool with a jacuzzi, two bars, a beauty salon, a spa center. For lovers active rest there is a fitness center with excellent gym in which the coach works with the guests. You can play tennis on two courts. In the evening you can visit a disco, a nightclub.

Resort prices

We can say with confidence that Vietnam provides its guests with the most affordable vacation in terms of prices. Phan Thiet is no exception. The cost of the tour starts at $ 500 (7 days), with accommodation in a four-star hotel. Of course, this does not include paid service and additional meals. But even here everything is more or less tolerable. For example, a full dinner will cost 150 rubles, and a mug of beer costs five rubles. The main costs are for the purchase of air tickets and payment for hotel services.

Vietnam, Phan Thiet: shopping

Those who are accustomed to European shopping will certainly be surprised when they get into a Vietnamese store. There are no well-known world brands here, but there are a lot of exotic things, for which many people come here. Go to the oldest market in Fantien - Central. But be careful - it's very easy to get lost here. In small shops, pavilions, tents you can buy shoes and clothes, Jewelry with mother-of-pearl, silver. Small shops and shops with gifts and souvenirs are usually located near the hotels. Don't know what to bring to your family and friends? Pay attention to Vietnamese wicker hats and natural silk.

Phan Thiet (also called Phan Thiet) is a small but rather lively Vietnamese city. Phan Thiet resort is located in the southeastern part of Vietnam. Not too rich in attractions, it is nevertheless becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination. This is largely due to the nearby tourist village of Mui Ne (or Mui Ne). However, Phan Thiet itself also deserves attention.

Let's try to figure out whether Phan Thiet deserves our attention, or are there more worthy places to stay? For example, Nha Trang.

And in itself, this resort would have looked quite worthy, if not for the neighboring town of Mui Ne. Many tourists just transit through Phan Thiet - there's no good reason to stop here when the area's main beach town looms on the horizon. But just considering it as a gateway to the Mui Ne resort would be unfair. This town has enough local charm and character to keep curious travelers interested for a day or two if time permits.

Phan Thiet is considered, unlike Nha Trang, a fairly quiet and calm resort, which is positioned by travel agencies as a place for family vacation. Is this really so - let's try to figure it out further ...

So let's try to answer eternal question, which arises before a trip not only to Vietnam, but also to any other country: “Where is it better to go?”. To begin with, let's dwell on the intricacies of rest in Phan Thiet and Mui Ne, and then we'll go through and.

The first (but not the only) obstacle for families with children is that there is no own airport here, and you have to fly first to Ho Chi Minh City, and then get to Phan Thiet. If you organize your own vacation, then the 240 km journey can be covered either by train (there is even a special tourist train for $ 25), or by car for $ 80 for the whole car. The second option is preferable because railway station the city is about 10 km and you will have to take a taxi for 7-8 dollars. Well, if the transfer is organized by a travel agency, then there are no special problems here - only 3 hours on the bus.

The first hotels appeared in Phan Thiet in the mid-90s. Since then, tourism has grown rapidly and hundreds of hotels, restaurants, resorts, hotels and shops have been built along the coastline. A chain of hotels stretches along the coast from the city itself to the village of Mui Ne.

This map of Phan Thiet and Mui Ne will help you get an idea of ​​the geography of this place.

The most expensive and luxurious hotels are located in the city itself and next to it. The farther from the city and closer to the fishing village, the more budgetary the rest will be. This is how this chain of hotels flows - from the most expensive to the cheapest.

You can stay in a guesthouse for 10-15 dollars a day for a modest room with a shower - this budget holiday. Hotel rates start at $20.

Sand dunes, a fishing village, a lotus lake, Cham towers, a red canyon - all this is very close. With the exception of the sand dunes, everything else is accessible by local bus.

We have a special review about local attractions and excursions in Phan Thiet (see the link). There we will dwell in detail on the features of local beaches.

We mentioned several times another popular resort in Vietnam - Nha Trang. In order to decide which is better - Phan Thiet or Nha Trang, we suggest following this link.

It seems that after that you will definitely be able to decide whether you should spend 2 weeks of your precious vacation on Phan Thiet and Mui Ne.

The Vietnamese resort of Phan Thiet - is it worth going there to relax?

5 (100%) 1 vote[s]

Vietnam has long been a resort country. Here, almost the entire population of the country works for the benefit of tourism. And tourists often choose Vietnam, and not some other country. Tourists especially like the resort called Phan Thiet, where everything is very beautiful and beautiful. In this article, we will focus specifically on the resort of Phan Thiet Vietnam. You will find out when it is better to relax in this place, what to take with you and other reviews of tourists. We look and rest properly.

As we have said, Phan Thiet is a very popular resort among tourists. They come here couples. Here they rest with children and young and active people. And they all know why they go - for the rest, but each for his own.

On Phan Thiet high season lasts from autumn to spring, the same as in the whole territory South-East Asia. But everything is not so simple here, there are some nuances here.
The high season starts from November and lasts until April. At this time of the year it is worth hot weather and no rain. But there is a wind, and even a strong wind! Therefore, at this time lovers of high waves - surfers rush here.
But also lovers beach holiday also rest here. Wind and waves are not here every day. It may turn out that one day there will be sunny weather with strong winds and big waves, and tomorrow the sea will be calm, and you can not only sunbathe, but also swim in the calm sea.
From May to October the winds subside. But that doesn't mean it's full of tourists. After all, it is raining at this time. During these months it rains almost every day. There are few sunny days, literally 5-7 per month. But the sea is cool and no one swims.

Weather in Vietnam Phan Thiet for months.
And now let's talk about the weather and water temperature by months in the resort of Phan Thiet. This data will also help you understand when is the best time to fly here on vacation.

January.
During the day, the temperature is warmed up to +30 degrees. The nights are warm and do not fall below +22 degrees. The water in the sea is beautiful and is above +23 degrees. Cloudy and rainy days no more than 7.

February.
In February, the air here cools down a little, but not by much. The average daily temperature is +28 degrees. But the water in the sea becomes warmer by one degree and this is very noticeable for the body, +24 degrees. In February, there is almost no rain, and the winds are not so frequent.

March.
The first spring month immediately gives not just warmth, but heat. The air warms up to +32 degrees, and sometimes even higher. The water in the sea is even warmer than +26 degrees. The air becomes more humid, and it is often stuffy outside, which not everyone can bear.

April.
This month is the end of the high and dry season. The air temperature during the day is +35, and at night +29 degrees. Water +26, and tourists do not come out of it. Towards the end of the month it starts to rain. It often rains every other day from the 20th of April.
In April, a vacation at the resort is the best time. But still there are pitfalls. For example, heat! Children will not be able to endure such heat and high humidity. So you will have to go to the beach only in the morning and in the evening, when the sun hides behind the horizon.
