Mui Ne is a small fishing village next to Phan Thiet. Both towns are in the Binh Thuan province, 120 miles North of Saigon (200 km). In the town of Mui Ne you will find one of the less spoiled beaches in Southeast Asia. If you are looking for a place to relax away from the noisy and polluted cities in Vietnam, this may be the place for you.
Most foreigners traveling around Vietnam, start their travel in Saigon and go to Hanoi, or vice versa. If you are planning a travel to Vietnam, Muine may be the perfect place to spend two or three days. Long beaches, good restaurants, water sport activities, interesting one day excursions, all these and more, in Mui Ne. On the following pages I will give you a sneak preview of this unspoiled area in Vietnam.
The province of Binh Thuan is one of the driest in Vietnam. After traveling around vietnam, I was surprised to see how the landscape changed when I got to this Southern province. Dry pastures, almost no trees, and even more difficult to believe in Vietnam, no rice fields! The year I was here, a severe drought was affecting the area. Landscapes were even drier than ever.
The best way to get to Mui Ne is by road. If you are coming from Saigon (or going to Saigon), I recommend hiring a private car and a driver. The ride will take 3-4 hours. It is also possible to come on a rented motorbike, only recommended to experts though. For budget travelers there is the Open Bus, a tourist bus that links Saigon and Hanoi. It stops in Mui Ne. For an even cheaper option, there are the public buses.
There is a train station in Phan Thiet, but it only goes to the 9 miles (12 km) away station of Muong Man. There you can take trains to Saigon and to the North, but train schedules are not coordinated. If you want to travel by train, call your hotel and arrange a pick up service at the Muong Man station. There is no airport in Phan Thiet.
Mui Ne Beach :
Phan Thiet lies midway between Saigon and Nha Trang, on the highway that links Saigon with Hanoi . For this reason this town used to be an overnight stop for people traveling around Vietnam. The city of Phan Thiet is a very relaxed place, but the gem of the area is Mui Ne. The Cape of Mui Ne stretches almost 20 miles into the South China Sea. A few years ago, it used to be a dangerous place, where only fishermen lived. But since, 1995, when an European couple opened the first resort in the area, Mui Ne has done nothing but attract tourists. A new complex is opened here every month. The area offers the great
