Phan Thiet Market

Phan Thiet is the largest town near Mui Ne, approximately 12km from Mui Ne beach. One morning, we took a local bus into town and were rewarded with a typical, vibrant Asian market. Everything for sale – from fresh meat, fruit and vegetables, live chickens and ducks, and baguettes to house wares. Some things remain traditional like the conical hats, while others are changing like plastic containers. These are starting to replace woven baskets. Obviously they are cheap, but they will ultimately become garbage and never breakdown like the older woven ones.
