You need to look not so much for transport directly to Mui Ne as buses and trains going to Phan Thiet, one of the areas of which is the resort village of Mui Ne (the distance between them is about ten kilometers).
The distance between Nha Trang and Phan Thiet by Vietnamese standards is not very large and does not exceed 250 kilometers. The easiest, fastest, but also the most expensive way to get there is a taxi. A one-way trip on such transport will cost about $ 120 (even if you travel with four people, it will turn out to be expensive).
Buses are the most popular with tourists. Finding a direct bus from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet can be problematic, so it is best to pay attention to the buses that go to Ho Chi Minh City, just make sure that the bus you have chosen enters Phan Thiet. These buses mostly leave in the morning. Usually the trip takes about 5-7 hours. The ticket price starts from 6-7 dollars per person one way.
Every day two trains are sent from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet (it is possible that their number will increase in the near future). The first train leaves at half past eight in the morning, and the second at about eight in the evening. The train ride will take about 4 hours, but the fare is slightly higher than the bus ride (the cost of a hard seat starts at $ 13-15). The train is not very convenient because the railway station is not located directly in Phan Thiet, but 15 kilometers from the city, which will entail additional taxi costs. From the point of view of economy, buses are the most profitable mode of transport.
You can buy a ticket to Phan Thiet or even Mui Ne in Nha Trang not only at the ticket offices of bus stations. You just have to go for a walk along the coast and there you will find a lot of local travel agencies (some of them even have Russian-speaking employees). These agencies sell not only excursions, but also bus tickets to different directions. The trip can be taken by two types of buses: Sleeping Bus - with recumbent seats and Sitting Bus with seated seats. There is no difference in ticket prices and travel times. Better to buy tickets for the morning flight on a regular bus with seating. In this case, during the trip, you will have a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful landscapes that open outside the window. Along the coast there are about 5-10% of five percent, but the rest of the time you can observe mountains, fields, temples, small local villages and other interesting places. It makes sense to choose the Night Sleeping Bus only if you decide to go to Mui Ne for one day and thus you can sleep on the way and save on accommodation.
When it comes to getting ideas for a dress-up party there are a lot of places to look. There are many sources that can help a person totally transform themselves. A person that uses multiple sources may find that it is easy to get ideas that allow them to mix and match different concepts. Most people will automatically go to the Internet, but the following information gives an array of ideas that can inspire a person.
Music Video Channels
When you want to copy some style for your own dress up party you may need to consider what is hot in the music videos. Rappers like Pitbull have created a cool and suave Miami look. P. Diddy has a tailored style suit that is also very dapper. Musicians also wear different clothing outside of their videos. This is why people should consider what the stars are wearing when they see these artists doing interviews as well. Many dress design ideas for a dress up party may come to mind when an actress appears on a late night talk show to talk about new trending games like Mobile Legends.
Award Shows
When you really want to see what your favorite musicians and actors look like all dressed up you should consider the award shows. There is always some type of award show on throughout the year. If you cannot find one there is usually footage of acceptance speeches for winners online. This is can provide a good roadmap for anyone that has a desire to dress up.
YouTube Videos
It doesn’t have to be a celebrity that provides the inspiration for a dress up party though. Sometimes it is just an everyday working class person that can inspire people with a unique ensemble. There are so many different shows that do complete makeovers for people. There are also quite a few amateurs style consultants that have a YouTube channel where they post a series of different videos. You might as well catch up on Clash Royale strategies on Youtube. This can literally provide a person with hours of content on styles for just about any season.
Magazines
Thumbing through a magazine is still a great source for fashion. A wide number of magazines are designed to provide people with dress up party tips that they may have never considered before. It is good to look through magazines because people can find imitation jewelry or knock-off dresses that are cheaper than some of the designer originals that the celebrities may wear. Magazines like “Cosmopolitan,” “Essence,” and “Ebony” all have a wide range of dress up ideas.
Your Favorite Movies / Television Shows
One way that a lot of people get ideas for a dress up party may come from their favorite movie or television show. There are iconic characters like Crockett and Tubbs from “Miami Vice” that people will recognize from television instantly. John Travolta’s white suit from “Saturday Night Fever” is also another idea for a dress-up party that is quite well known. Some even use game contents like character designs in Subway Surfers to get inspiration for ideas. People that want to dress up should also consider movies that have dress up themes.

Mui Ne is a small village in the south of Vietnam, but it attracts Russian tourists very much. Why? One street is about 5 km long, along which hotels, cafes, bokeh (restaurants with live seafood), souvenir shops are built. The sea is rough, quite powerful waves and always strong wind. No wonder Mui Ne is called a paradise for surfers (and kitesurfers): they feel good here. But why tourists who expect to have a beach holiday go to Mui Ne, we do not understand.
Nevertheless, we personally felt this calm, pacifying atmosphere of Mui Ne: here you don't want to fuss, life flows calmly and measuredly. Maybe this is why our compatriots come here, neglecting the interesting, bright and beachy, but noisy and restless Nha Trang? One thing we know for sure: we would not have survived longer than a week in Mui Ne, it is good for a reset, but not for a long life. Of course, this is our personal opinion, based on our rhythm of life and our interests.

What is the sea in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet?
News Vietnam is washed by the South China Sea, but it behaves differently in different coastal areas. As I wrote above, this sea in Mui Ne is restless.
The peculiarities of the location of the village are that winds always blow here, all year round. Stronger winds blow in winter - this time is called "season". In fact, it is a season for kitesurfers and surfers who are attracted to Mui Ne primarily by this constant wind that allows them to ride every day.
Mui Ne kitesurfing schools at every turn
But the sea in Mui Ne is not very suitable for ordinary tourists: strong waves make it dangerous for swimming with children, plus kitesurfers and surfers are constantly spinning around the swimmers, which is why there is a threat of getting hit on the head with a board.
In the “off-season” (that is, in summer) the sea in Mui Ne is calmer, the winds are not so strong. However, the sea is unclear. After the rains, a lot of garbage is carried to the shore, which is why the beach is very dirty.
The beach in Mui Ne lasts along the only street. From the beginning of the street (we will consider the part that is closer to the Red Dunes as the beginning) and up to the middle, the beach looks extremely unpresentable: just steps into the sea, without a sandy strip. There are low tides, during which you can see a thin strip of wet sand, but mostly vacationers in hotels on this site have to swim, entering the sea from the stairs.
In the afternoon the sea reaches the steps
The other part of Mui Ne beach (which is located closer to Phan Thiet) looks pretty good: a wide sandy strip, sun loungers and umbrellas. We were on this beach in the "off season", in June, so the beaches are so deserted.
Every evening in Mui Ne we watched the low tide, during which many beautiful seashells appear on the shore.
We also noticed that there are many jellyfish in Mui Ne, in Nha Trang there are much fewer of them, and they appear quite rarely, mainly in autumn.
Despite the fact that during our stay in Mui Ne the sea was quite calm, there was no desire to enter it and swim. Fortunately, our hotel had an excellent pool on the beach. By the way, we noticed that almost all the hotels on the beach in Mui Ne have a swimming pool. Maybe all the tourists who have a rest in the village, just like us, are saved by the pool overlooking the sea?
It's fair to say that you can find a decent beach in Mui Ne. We read that one of these is available at the Sea Links hotel (the same one on the territory of which the Wine Castle is located).

Mui Ne is 220 km from Nha Trang, Phan Thiet is a little further - 240 km.

How much to go from Nha Trang to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get
The easiest way to get from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is by intercity bus - a slip-bus. A ticket for it can be bought at numerous street travel agencies in Nha Trang or at the bus stations of Sinh Tourist, Hanh Café, Futa Bus, Nam Phuong. We bought a ticket from The Sinh Tourist, a ticket for one person cost 109,000 VND ($ 4.6).
On the way, the bus is about 5 hours, but they fly very quickly: in the slipbass you can sit comfortably, practically lying down, sleep, read, watch interesting videos (there is free Wi-Fi). The bus makes 2 stops for 15-20 minutes, during which you can go to the toilet, have a snack in a cafe or just stretch your legs.
Slipbas Nha Trang-Mui Ne
Riding a bike from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is rather difficult, and we strongly advise against covering this path in this way. The point is not only fatigue, but also in huge wagons that drive at a breakneck speed along the highway, under the wheels of which our Russian guys very often die, traveling between cities on their own. The Vietnamese deal with trucks very carefully; there is an unwritten rule here: the larger the car, the more important it is. Russians, on the other hand, are accustomed to equal rights on the roads, and perhaps that is why it all ends tragically.
Distance from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there
From Ho Chi Minh to Phan Thiet - 191 km, to Mui Ne - 214 km.
The road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne on the map:
You can get there in the same way as from Nha Trang - by slipbass. Travel time and ticket price are the same: about 5 hours and 110,000 VND ($ 4.6).
Nha Trang or Mui Ne (Phan Thiet): which is better?
For us, the answer to this question is obvious: of course Nha Trang! Mui Ne has only one single superiority - low population, and as a result, serenity. For some, another advantage of Mui Ne, in comparison with Nha Trang, is the cheapness of housing. This is true: you can rent a small house for only $ 150−170.
You cannot find such prices in Nha Trang, for this amount per month you can only rent a room in a guest house. But for us, this plus is not a plus, since we do not want to live in small "vietnam style" houses, and there are simply no modern apartments in the European style in Mui Ne.
You can, of course, live not in Mui Ne, but in Phan Thiet itself. This city is quite modern, slightly smaller than Nha Trang in size, but with a developed infrastructure: apartment buildings, shopping centers and places for walking.

Where are all the people?
And this is Phan Thiet: live better here
But all the same, Phan Thiet (and even more so Mui Ne) loses to Nha Trang by many criteria:
- Sea. In Nha Trang, even on the city beach during the season (from April to September) the sea is calm, transparent, without waves. Well, or with small waves occasionally bringing garbage, but in Mui Ne this garbage and these waves are constant, and in Nha Trang it is a temporary phenomenon. And not far from Nha Trang there are paradise beaches from the category of "bounty":,. You can spend the whole weekend there.
- Infrastructure. There are not even large shops in Mui Ne where you can buy household items. For everything you need to go to Phan Thiet, which takes time and money (if you don't have your own bike). In Mui Ne there are only small Vietnamese shops like "all in one heap" and a few supermarkets, but the prices are higher than in ordinary shops. There are no hospitals in Mui Ne (only small private clinics), but what am I talking about - in Mui Ne there is not even a gas station! Seriously, to refuel your bike, you need to find a petrol cart outside some cafes. This gasoline is more expensive than at gas stations, and its quality can only be guessed at - any Vietnamese will not miss the opportunity to dilute gasoline for extra profit.

There are some pretty bridges in Phan Thiet
- Sights and places of interest. If in Nha Trang you need to choose what to visit, then in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet you can see everything in 2 days. And spend the rest of the day exclusively on the beach or by the pool. Maybe for someone this is a plus. Of course, you can always find excursions from Mui Ne to other cities.
- Fun with children... In Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, we found only two entertainments for children: a mini-zoo near Fairy Creek and a children's play area in Lotte Martha in Phan Thiet. For comparison, in Nha Trang there are play areas for children in every shopping center (and theirs), an amusement park, where for 10-15 thousand dongs you can ride any attraction, climb in the maze, catch toy fish and go to a 5-D cinema ... There is also Winperl in Nha Trang. And a lot of children's stores. Read our article about.
- Transport... Of course, Mui Ne has a local shuttle bus that runs between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. As a matter of fact, more is not needed there. In Nha Trang, the distances between objects are quite large, but you can get to any place by city bus for 8000 VND ($ 0.4)... And even Zoklet beach, located 50 km from Nha Trang, can be reached by a regular bus for 24,000 VND ($ 1)... I believe that transport in Nha Trang is developed in an acceptable way - it is convenient for both local residents and tourists.
Summing up, we see how much more advantages Nha Trang has over Mui Ne. I understand that there are people who tenderly love MUI ne for peace and quiet, we and ourselves liked him for his serenity. But we ourselves would choose MUI ne only for a short vacation, when you just want to relax by the sea or the pool. But not for a busy vacation, and even more so for a long life.
