Located
in BinhThuan province, PhanThiet is 200 km from
Saigon and lies south of CamRanh bay on the
southernmost stretch of Central Vietnam. BinhThuan
was once a part of the Cham kingdom. In 1692,
Lord Nguyen-Phuc-Chu captured the area and named it
BinhThuan Dinh.
BinhThuan is quite important in Vietnam's history, as it
was because of this area that in 1306 King Tran-Nhan-Tong agreed to the marriage of princess HuyenChan
to King Jaya Sinhavarman III of the Cham
Kingdom. During the revolution against the French,
it was in this area that the two patriots Phan-Chu-Trinh and Tran-Quy-Cap had their start.
Furthermore,
according to local lore, the area around PhanThiet
is where HanMacTu, the disfigured poet,
spent his time forlornly as he waited for MongCam,
the lady of his dreams.

 PhanThiet is the largest town in BinhThuan province with an estimated
population of close to 100,000 people. The town sits on the borders
of CaTy river, is 20 Km from the ocean and swells with boats during
the fishing season in the summer months. Fishing is PhanThiet's
largest industry. According to local statistics, some 100 different
varieties of fishes are caught here with an annual yield of over
70,000 tons. As a result, PhanThiet is famous for its NuocMam
(fish sauce), a seasoning used in Vietnamese cuisine. A calm river
named CaTy is flowing via PhanThiet.
Almost construction projects has been built in two sides of CaTy
PhanThiet people is very gentle and friendly. They
make living by deep sea fishing and process sea food.
 Most
visitors to PhanThiet will notice the pungent odor that is
associated with fish sauce production. This is a process where
anchovy like fishes are caught, cleaned and place in large vats of
brine.
The
whole concoction is cured over a period of eight months to a year
before the fish by products are strained and the liquid is then
diluted into less concentrated solutions to be bottled.
Fish
sauce from PhanThiet is available throughout Vietnam. Today, the
annual production of "nuocmam" in PhanThiet is 16-17 million liters
per annum. The salt used in the production of fish sauce is also a
local product of BinhThuan province.
Although
fishing is a big industry in PhanThiet, it still remains a family
business for many people in the region. While the men are out at
sea, women and children often stay home to support the business by
mending nets and tending to shore related chores
 A
few kilometers East of PhanThiet are some of the most beautiful
stretches of beaches in Vietnam. Some
are lined with tall coconut trees, others lean against vast red sand
dunes. During
the period between July and October, the fishing season is at its
pinnacle in PhanThiet as fishermen go out to sea. These boats
form a magnificent display of lights at night and can be seen from
shore. In fact, the scene is liken to a floating city by the locals
PhanThiet Market
 It's
a regret if you come to Phanhiet without dropping in the market.
Same as other markets, PhanThiet market not only has fresh sea food
but also cheap price.
We surely trust that you would be attracted by many different kinds
of fish, shrimp, crab, etc.
