Booking.com

Reader Phuong Anh (Hanoi) shared a trip to Phan Thiet (Binh Thuan) for two days and one night.

Due to lack of time, in two days and one night in Phan Thiet, Phuong Anh only visited some famous landmarks and admired the blue sea. The girl tells tourists to plan their trip early, book flight tickets, and hotel rooms for the best experience.

Move

From Hanoi, I bought a plane ticket to Ho Chi Minh City and then traveled by sleeper bus to Phan Thiet (Binh Thuan). The beach town is about 300 km from Ho Chi Minh City.

I chose the evening flight (19:35) to save time and take advantage of rest on the way to travel. As soon as I got off at Tan Son Nhat airport, I called a taxi to Mien Dong bus station, it was around 11pm.

Before the trip, I ordered a sleeper bus ticket on the online application for 140,000 VND/person. You should actively choose the time the car runs 1.5 hours later than the time the plane lands to move in time.

After four hours on the bus, I took advantage of rest and energy to have fun the next day. We arrived at 3am the next morning. Because it was not time to check-in, the group was allowed to leave their belongings at the front desk and rest at the check-in area, swimming pool in the homestay.


Where to stay?

Phan Thiet has many resorts, motels and homestays with diverse prices for visitors to choose from.

With the criteria of choosing a room with a reasonable price and a comfortable space, I booked a night at Cesar Homestay located on Nguyen Dinh Chieu street. The price of a room for 2 people ranges from 700,000 to 1.1 million VND, depending on the location overlooking the sea or not. In addition, the property has a beautiful swimming pool with impressive sea views.

Visitors need to book a room early because this address is quite famous and chosen by many tourists when going to Phan Thiet. If unfortunately running out of rooms, you can refer to some accommodation located along the coast on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. This area is in the center and near many eating places, so it is convenient to move and experience.

Day 1:

I started my journey to discover Phan Thiet by jeep. Visitors can choose this type of tour for 600,000 VND/car, up to 6 guests.

The tour departs 3 hours a day, I choose the time 4:30 to save time, the cost of booking a room is to avoid the hot sun.

This is also the first time I admire the moment of sunrise on the immense sand dunes. For me, the ticket price for fun and off-road riding here is “a bit expensive”, about 300,000 VND/person but an interesting and unforgettable experience.

Next, we stopped at Bau Trang, took pictures, rested at the bright yellow juice shop and crossed the blue sea road.

10:00 am, the car takes the group back to the homestay. Due to early check-in and check-in, we will incur an additional fee of 50,000 VND/hour/room. To avoid losing more money, you can take advantage of lunch and then return to your homestay to rest.

In the afternoon, after a short nap, the group rented motorbikes for 150,000 VND/car to some suggested places on social networks such as Ong Dia rock beach, the road going down to the beach… These places are located close to the beach. so you don’t have to spend a lot of time traveling.

Around 16:30, I went to Chameleon Beach Bar to drink coffee and watch the sunset. The advantage of the restaurant lies in the view overlooking the sea, the staff is enthusiastic and the menu is diverse and delicious. However, many guests come here to watch the sunset and order food, so the service time is a bit long.

In the evening, fresh seafood restaurants on the coast are an option you can refer to. In general, dining spots in the coastal area have affordable, freshly prepared food.

Day 2:

The next morning, I had breakfast at the homestay. The menu is included in the room rate, guests can order bread with eggs, sausage, or fish cake soup.

The group chose to take photos on the spot to be on time for check-out. There are many beautiful corners here, you just need to wear outstanding clothes to have a vivid photo.

I set the departure time of the bus based on the flight time back to Hanoi. We try to arrive in Ho Chi Minh City 2-3 hours before the plane departs to leisurely check-in.

Note:

  • You should choose blue, red, orange and red clothes to make the check-in photo look more prominent.
  • The weather in Central this season is very hot, visitors should prepare more hats, sunglasses and do not forget to bring sunscreen.
  • In total, the cost I spent for the trip was about 4 million VND/person, including the price of airfare, bus, one night of homestay, dining in the coastal city…
