Market
There are a number of good markets in the area. In
Phan Thiet, you might want to start at the Co-op Mart on the corner of Nguyen
Tat Thanh and Tran Hung Dao, for souvenir and jewelry shops.
Phan Thiet Central Market, which is the largest in
the province, is the place for local stuff such as fresh fruit, coconut
candies, dried seafood, and sand paintings.
Mui Ne Village Market, too, has a range of fresh
fruits.
Mui
Ne Handicraft
Mui Ne Handicraft at Java Restaurant is a recent
addition to the Mui Ne shopping scene. Stop by to watch deaf children create
sand art or shop for hand-woven textiles with traditional Cham patterns, then
get the local tailor to turn them into clothes at bargain prices. Java
Restaurant is on the road into Mui Ne, on a hill just above the town.
