Phan Thiết, Provincial capital in Binh Thuan, Vietnam

Phan Thiet extends along the southeastern coast of Vietnam, featuring urban districts and coastal wards that stretch toward the Ke Ga cape.

The settlement originated as a Cham village called Hamu Lithit before receiving official recognition as the provincial capital of Binh Thuan in 1898.

Local fishermen maintain traditional rituals at the Van Thuy Tu temple, where ceremonies honor whales as protective deities of maritime activities.

The dry season from November to April provides optimal conditions for beach activities, water sports, and exploration of the nearby sand dunes.

The city produces fish sauce in traditional wooden barrels, while its coastline attracts international wind sports enthusiasts during winter months.
