This section about Phan Thiet is the twenty-fourth instalment of my bicycle ride from Yunnan to Cambodia – if all goes according to plan. Titled “Slap the Belgian!”, it is simultaneously published on Crazyguyonabike.com, where you’ll find a map with the itinerary and many other bicycle diaries by me and others. I hope you’ll enjoy.
Nothing really happened and I didn’t take any interesting pictures. Here’s what we wanted to do: see the red sand dunes, swim in the sea, explore the city, get a massage. Here’s what we did: get a massage, drink beer.
Funny anecdote: apart from Katya, Mirek, Tu and I, there was another Dutch riding couple in the hotel and by the evening another Dutchman who had just two days on the clock checked in.
Seems this hotel, which is called Sinh Tài and where nice rooms go for 250.000 VND to 300.000 VND (but where Mirek bargained two days in the nicer room for 500.000 VND) attracts cyclists. Or perhaps it’s just this town. Basta.
Enjoy the pics. For added entertainment, quickly rotate the last two pics of Tu eating a lady finger.
