PhanThiet, a 4-hour bus journey from Ho Chi Minh City, is a small and sleepy seaside town that has a certain quaint and colorful fishing village charm.
Situated 198 km east of Ho Chi Minh City, PhanThiet is a refuge for many folks who come for the weekend to exchange the tension of the noisy traffic and trade of the city with the comforts of a hotel room right on the beach and a hearty appetite of succulent seafood.
Typical to PhanThiet and celebrated in a grand scale is the Mbang Kate festival, a religious event celebrated by the Cham people during 8th and 9th months of the lunar year.
