BASICS

Arriving

Your hotel will likely be between Phan Thiet town and Mui Ne village, about 12 miles (20km) east. Most are roughly between 10km and 15km from Phan Thiet. Open buses from Saigon (135 miles, or 220km, south) or Nha Trang stop off at a budget hotel – Sinh Café at the horrible Sinh Café/Mui Ne Resort, An Phu (and TM Brothers) at Thai Hoa Mui Ne Resort. But all will drop you off at your hotel (after a stop at their hub hotel, if you can stand the 30-minute wait or so). Instead of waiting, I rented a motorcycle and browse at various guesthouses along the beach.

ATMs

VIETCOMBANK (56-97 Nguyen Dinh Chieu St) has an outside ATM, next to the Saigontourist Mui Ne Resort – about half-way down the long beach.

Internet

Most hotels have Internet access in reception. There are a few places that offer access on the main strip too.
