Phan Thiet & Mui Ne

Vietnam – Getting to know Phan Thiet & Mui Ne

About 125 miles north of Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne is a pleasant fishing port that’s home to a community of itinerant fishermen between the months of July and October, as well as its year-round local population. The town is famous for producing some of the best fish sauce in Vietnam (and that’s saying something!), as well as being surrounded by large red sand dunes.  In the early morning, the port is a hive of activity, as fisherman land their night’s catch and the locals make their way to the quay to buy the freshest fish.
