Phan Thiet Letter: About Phan Thiet!

Dear friend! The season of bright yellow cajuput flowers stretching from Hoa Phu, Hoa Thang, Mui Ne ended about a month after Tet.

The bright yellow canary flowers swaying in clusters on the streets of Phan Thiet also withered not long before. And now it is the season of the flower called the golden bell, strange and surprising, as if one day people suddenly learned that the ordinary green tree has the same name as the flower that looks like small bells forming clusters, clusters of bright yellow. For me, this is probably the first season of the golden bell flower in Phan Thiet, because it was just discovered or also because at this time the flowers bloom covering many streets in yellow. But the most brilliant, you can come to admire the yellow color of the flowers on the side of Lotte supermarket or on the crosswalk of Le Thanh Nghi street... If you want to see many other flowers blooming at this time such as bougainvillea, purple-flowered lagerstroemia... there are colorful dots on the streets, especially Nguyen Tat Thanh street, the way leading to the sea.

Thanks to the calm winds and warm sunshine, the coastal city of Phan Thiet now not only has "Blue sea, white sand, yellow sunshine" but also has consecutive blooming seasons that last until the first 1-2 rains of the season appear. I don't know if it's because of that peace or not, but in recent times, Phan Thiet has welcomed more tourists, such as the first quarter of this year, the number of visitors increased by 40% compared to the same period last year, in which international visitors also increased. This good signal will continue in the upcoming winter holiday season, not only because the world tourism market has strongly recovered but also because just on March 28, Binh Thuan and Vietnam Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding on comprehensive cooperation for the period 2025-2030. Thereby, opening up opportunities to strongly promote tourism promotion activities, investment promotion, trade and aviation connection between the two sides.

According to the agreement, the two sides will closely coordinate in promoting the local image, enhancing the position of Binh Thuan as a leading tourist destination in the South Central region and on the international tourism map. Therefore, when Phan Thiet airport is put into operation, it is said that next year, Vietnam Airlines will be the first to connect with other places. Vietnam Airlines leaders hope that Binh Thuan will consolidate and develop the dragon boat racing movement... Meanwhile, Chairman of Binh Thuan Provincial People's Committee Do Huu Huy invited Vietnam Airlines to study opening a training center for technicians and flight attendants in Phan Thiet City...

I miss you!

It is an invitation to Phan Thiet. Such invitations are of great magnitude to revive and take off a land that is ready to wait for connection. But besides that, there are also very familiar invitations, full of affection from people who were not born in Phan Thiet and after wandering abroad, call it their homeland, but only came a few times and fell in love with this land. With the song "Ve Phan Thiet voi anh" by author Cao Van Thong, former member of the Central Inspection Committee, it is probably like that. Therefore, the lyrics can be understood as the overflowing words poured out from a person standing in front of the beautiful scenery in Phan Thiet and thinking of his lover. That love, the author sends to his lover in the direction of inviting him to Phan Thiet with many dream situations for a happy reunion.

“Are you going to Phan Thiet? Come with me to see the sea and see the clear sky. Hold hands and play on the waves. Take away the dust of this world.

Honey, will you come back to Phan Thiet with me? Watch the sky, clouds, and the clear blue sea. With so much love together, we can drown the waves. Let our love be forever sweet.

Then overflows at the end of the song through a concluding sentence.

“Darling, come back to Phan Thiet. Take a walk with me, we will give each other passionate love. Passionate eyes, passionate kisses. Let our love overflow with ecstasy.”

In March, this composition was performed by the music video crew and singer Bao Nam in Phan Thiet. That day, when I followed the crew to film the images illustrating the lyrics of the song, I also had a strong desire to tell my friend, arrange to go to Phan Thiet. Now, Phan Thiet is much different than before, when investors are rushing in because of the attraction of the promised land...
