People usually get around in Phan Thiet by motorcycles, which are offered at the resorts. Those who don’t want to hire a motorcycle can also opt for a bicycle for a slower and relaxing ride. Motor-taxis are also provided for short trips around town while taxis are also available but can be quite expensive. The best way to travel around in Phan Thiet is on traditional cyclos. They are similar to trishaws in a unique Vietnamese version. You get to sit on a fairly spacious seat compartment in front with a rider pedalling behind. In this manner you can experience Phan Thiet at its core with a friendly rider being your personal guide. |
