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.
