Ho Chi Minh: A comfortable safe trip to Phan Thiet by Train

The train runs daily from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet, departing around 06:30 AM and arriving five hours later. The return trip leaves Phan Thiet around 01:10 PM. Saigon Railway Station is in District 3, Ho Chi Minh city about 3 km from the center. Phan Thiet railway station is about 15-20 km from the beginning of the Ham Tien/Mui Ne resort strip, and taxis are abundant to take you there.

Trains are probably slower than tourist buses however travelling by train is very safe and you get to see more beautiful scenery along the way and avoid the honking of horns and crazy driving of bus drivers.

Traveling by train also helps you sightsee, relax, make new friends, play games, or lie down comfortably without having to buy a first-class ticket like a plane.

1. Enjoy the scenery
When flying at an altitude of more than 9,000 m, you will not have the opportunity to see a mountain from the valley. However, through the train window, the scenery along the way is even more worth seeing than the destination. You will be able to relax throughout the trip instead of sleeping to kill time on the plane.

2. Opportunity to make new friends and spend time with old friends

A journey on the train will be an opportunity to connect with old friends, without having to bury your face in an in-flight movie or be disturbed by car horns when traveling by car. You will be able to chat with friends.

In addition, the train space is also a place to meet and make new friends. The seats on the train are often facing each other, making it easy to start a conversation.

3. Relax and recline

The space on the train is much more comfortable than the plane. You can stand up and walk around whenever you want.

You can also book a sleeper cabin to have a comfortable bed for long journeys.

4. Luggage size is not an issue
When traveling by train, you will not have to worry about the weight of your luggage like when traveling by plane. Some trains even allow bulky bags. You can bring gifts for friends and family without worrying about being overweight.
