There is a beach on the Southern edge of the city but it\u2019s not as good as the beaches to the East of Phan Thiet, and for this reason not so many holiday makers choose to spend more than a single night in Phan Thiet, and many simply pass through without stopping. One thing worth stopping in Phan Thiet for is to visit the 9th Century 9th Century Cham Towers in the North Eastern part of the city."}, {"text_idx": "#000038", "text": "The major attraction in Binh Thuan Province is the 20 km stretch of coastline that runs East from Phan Thiet to the small fishing village of Mui Ne.

The reason for the popularity of this part of Vietnam is the beaches themselves, which are amongst the most beautiful in Vietnam. They are also some of the most windy beaches in Vietnam, and the area is renowned for being one of the best places in Asia for wind surfing and kite surfing. Kite surfing enthusiasts in particular turn up every year in large numbers during the kite surfing season and many local businesses are focussed on catering for people who come to take part in water sport activities. There are also plenty of kite surfing schools with courses for beginners and equipment to rent."}]
