Located 22km from Phan Thiet City on the east, Mui Ne – the name of a headland in Phan Thiet – is a popular tourist center which is included in the list of resorts of Vietnam.

Fishing Village

Scattering some poor fishing villages over a large sand dune desert which is far away from roads, it has become the first high-end resort capital of the south-central coast. Mui Ne is one of the most beautiful beaches in South East Asia (SEA) with a blue sea and sandy hills. It also has lots of luxury resorts suitable for your holiday.
One interesting thing here is that you cannot get lost in Mui Ne because the whole place consists of one long strip along a main street – Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. Motorbike taxis (also “Xe Om”) are everywhere and they will come to you whenever you leave the hotel. If you want to make a good deal there, bargain hard is usually a good idea. Taxicabs are abundant with fares slightly higher than Hochiminh City but still reasonable. You can also rent motorbikes and bicycles at many resorts and tour agencies. Due to the light traffic, riding a bike is the best way to explore the surroundings. However, it is getting harder and harder to rent because of bike thefts and the enforcement of Vietnamese driving license. The hotel may rent for you because it could be more convenient if your passport is available.  There is an old saying “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” and it appears to be true there. When getting on a bike, you must have your Vietnamese driving license by your side and wear a helmet regardless you are driving the bike or just sitting behind. The police are friendly but quite straight forward in order to prevent any accident may happen. If you don’t break any rule, you normally won’t be stopped by the police.
