Travel spontaneously…

Departing from Ho Chi Minh City and only needing to travel for about 2 hours to reach Phan Thiet, spontaneous travel (without prior planning) to this coastal city is a trend for some guests who own private cars…

Feeling suffocated in her small apartment, Ms. Hanh (living in District 4 - Ho Chi Minh City) suddenly had an idea and discussed with her husband about going to Phan Thiet for a "change of pace", because she had not been back to this destination for a long time. Having a 4-seater car in her family, her husband immediately supported her because in the past few months he had been busy with work, and moreover, the young child was on summer vacation and had no worries about school... So the trip was arranged in a "jiffy", early the next morning the car carrying the whole family headed straight for the Dau Giay - Phan Thiet highway and arrived at the coastal tourist city before the sun rose high.

Rich cuisine with fresh seafood is also a "plus point" attracting tourists to Phan Thiet (Illustration photo).

Coming to a beachside cafe serving breakfast right in the heart of Phan Thiet City, family members leisurely ordered food and drinks and enjoyed the space filled with green trees and leaves, welcoming each cool breeze and the sound of the waves... Hanh and her husband did not expect that the spontaneous trip would bring so many interesting things. In addition to experiencing the new highway for the first time, the whole family also had a different morning compared to the usual in the noisy, hot city. In addition, because there were no constraints like traveling by tour, the couple also freely planned their schedule for the day: After breakfast, they went to Mui Ne Sand Dunes and then visited Suoi Tien. At noon, they stopped by a restaurant or eatery to enjoy the fresh seafood dishes, famous here such as dried squid, green crab, shrimp, and sour hotpot with grouper. In the afternoon to early evening, alternating between visiting Van Thuy Tu and Doi Duong Park, the whole family chose to enjoy some local rustic dishes such as banh can, banh canh cha ca, banh quai vac with shrimp and pork... After "satisfying" their cravings with many delicious dishes, it was also time for Ms. Hanh's family to prepare to return to Ho Chi Minh City, but still regretted not having time to swim in the sea, so who knows, maybe there will be another spontaneous trip to Phan Thiet...

As for Mr. Tuan (living in Binh Tan District - Ho Chi Minh City), when he heard the weather forecast that it was going to rain, because of the fear of flooded streets, he immediately texted his friends to "vote" for a trip to Phan Thiet right before the afternoon. It was spontaneous, but due to the nature of his job that allows him to work remotely and the dynamism of cheerful single youth, a few people agreed to "go if they like". Quickly stuffing his beach clothes, laptop and camera into his backpack, Mr. Tuan and his friends made an appointment for a departure point to travel together in a 7-seat pickup truck owned by a friend in the group...

Going to Phan Thiet is mainly to enjoy the cuisine, admire the beautiful scenery and catch the sea breeze, so the place to stay overnight is not too important for the group of young people, if there are no hotel rooms, a motel in the alley is also "OK!". So the whole group discussed and suggested a suitable schedule for the trip with a fairly short time: Arrive at Ong Dia Stone Beach before dark, then choose a restaurant with the group's favorite dishes such as raw fish salad, grilled oysters with cheese, grilled scallops with scallion oil, dried rays with tamarind fish sauce, steamed snails with ginger... The dinner was not over yet when Tuan's friends were already thinking about tomorrow and agreed to wake up early to go swimming, have breakfast with Quang noodles with duck thighs or rice vermicelli with pig intestines. Immediately after that, they headed straight to Bau Trang (Bac Binh district) to experience driving an off-road vehicle on the sand dunes, take the opportunity to return to visit Phan Thiet market and conveniently buy some gifts for relatives. Before leaving the coastal tourist city, Tuan's group of friends had a full lunch with fried mackerel, steamed squid, grilled shrimp with satay, snail salad, hotpot...

Returning to Ho Chi Minh City and returning to daily life, impressive images checked in during the spontaneous Phan Thiet trip began to appear on social networks, making Tuan's friends all exclaim in admiration. And who knows, this group of young people may have many more spontaneous moments like that after a period of focusing on "plowing" to complete the assigned work well.
