Need an introduction to Binh Thuan on the Phan Thiet train

For nearly 4 hours, passengers also got used to the constant silence of the loudspeakers and the rumbling sound of the train. But when approaching Saigon station, a warm and gentle announcer's voice rang out, providing information about the destination of Ho Chi Minh City, its outstanding landscapes, its development potential... in both Vietnamese and English. In general, it provided information for passengers to know more about a successful and attractive Ho Chi Minh City. When getting off the train, everyone felt happy with every step because they were returning to their place of residence, shelter or exploring the glamorous urban area.

On the return trip, of course, also on the Phan Thiet train, but on the Saigon - Phan Thiet route. When approaching Phan Thiet station, I expected to hear the familiar sound of the announcer on the train introducing the destination, at least the land of Phan Thiet, but there was absolutely no sound. There was only the sound of the train chugging along until it stopped at Phan Thiet station. Then passengers from the train cars piled down to the station, an estimated 200 passengers, both Vietnamese and Westerners.

It proves that, after Tet until now, domestic and foreign tourists have traveled to Phan Thiet more, because even the road sleeper buses of the bus companies are full of passengers. Phan Thiet City's data shows that the number of visitors to Phan Thiet in the first quarter of 2025 is estimated to increase by more than 40% compared to the same period last year. Among them, there are many visitors traveling by train, specifically through trains from Saigon to Phan Thiet and vice versa. It can be said that these trains are tourist trains, because in addition to the people of Phan Thiet, many tourists traveling with their families and foreign visitors like to travel by train for leisurely, relaxing and safe travel.

Through that, we can imagine that they traveled 200 km, sat on the train for 4 hours because Phan Thiet has many attractions, many values ​​that tourists believe when coming here to visit, wandering around for a few days, their souls will be relaxed, satisfying what they want to enjoy and experience. The famous landscapes, historical sites of Phan Thiet in particular, Binh Thuan in general, are not available everywhere. For example, Duc Thanh school, where Uncle Ho when he was a young man, Nguyen Tat Thanh, on his journey to Saigon, stopped by Phan Thiet to teach for 6 months at this school, before leaving to find a way to save the country. Or Phan Thiet Water Tower was designed by Prince Xuphanuvong (Laos) nearly 100 years ago, so this is a typical symbol of Phan Thiet and also a symbol of Vietnam - Laos solidarity. Then Ong Hoang Tower, the resort capital, the record-breaking whale skeleton in Van Thuy Tu, Phu Quy Island, Bau Trang, Ke Ga Cape, Ta Cu Mountain Pagoda, Ba Waterfall... Not only that, the seafood of Binh Thuan sea is very diverse and delicious, with a very unique cuisine that has now converged more or less at the food street on Tuyen Quang - Phan Thiet road... All are the information that attracts tourists to set foot in Phan Thiet first, before spreading to the surrounding districts.

Moreover, in one trip or several trips, people cannot know all the uniqueness and specialties of a land. Therefore, if on the Phan Thiet - Saigon train there is a little time to introduce Ho Chi Minh City, then on the opposite direction, the Saigon - Phan Thiet route, the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company should also spend some time introducing the land of Binh Thuan, first of all, Phan Thiet City. First of all, consider it a quality tour serving tourists traveling by train.
