Mui Ne Beach, Phan Thiet

Hiep Hoa Bungalow





Mui Ne Beach located in Phan Thiet is about 4 hour bus ride away from Ho Chi Minh City. Recently a new train route has been added for tourists from Ho Chi Minh City out on National Highway One. The tickets are about 75,000 compared to bus tickets of 50,000 to 100,000 dong. The train is supposedly faster taking only about 3 hours. However, the train stops about 20 km from Mui Ne and from the train station there are brand new tourists buses to take the passengers to their destinations.

Mui Ne Beach is a clean, beautiful beach with depending on the season can be deserted or crowded with wind and kite surfers. The hotels can range anywhere from 10 dollars a night to well over 100 but there is ample selection for even the pickiest traveler. There are a number of good restaurants all located along the main road. Rung Forest is a vietnamese restaurant with lovely decor and Vietnamese music after dark. No matter where you stop there is always seafood on display, so you can pick your own fish, crab, shrimps, etc.

There are many 'touristy' type attractions as well, namingly the red and white sand dunes where you can rent foam butt pads and slide down them, the 'pink' stream, red canyon, and the local town near Mui Ne beach which has a local market. If these activities don't interest you then you can take wind and kite surfing lessons for about 300 dollars per week.

The Hiep Hoa hotel in Mui Ne is a great hotel at the reasonable price of $20-$30 per night. You can either have a room or a bungalow right on the water. There are no loud neighbors and it has a nice garden. Though breakfast might be a problem you can always go to a fancier hotel and just pay for a buffet breakfast there which is usually from 50,000 to 130,000 dong per person or $3-$8. Hiep Hoa does make excellent banana shakes!!!!
