A humid dawn in Phan Thiet brings markets alive: stall tarps flap, vendors call, and steam rises from bowls of chè that feel like a local welcome. The tour threads through side streets and the waterfront, where the sea’s briny air nudges the scent of grilled fish and lemongrass toward the walker. It’s sensory, direct, and organized around small bites rather than a single sit-down meal.
