Previously, mentioning traveling to Phan Thiet made many shake their heads in reluctance. The distance from Saigon to Phan Thiet is over 200 kilometers, quite far. If you go by car, it takes nearly 6 hours. The train, seemingly, has never been the perfect choice due to concerns about hygiene, facilities, and service quality.

However, these issues are no longer a concern for travelers who want to visit Phan Thiet.

Responding to market demand, the Vietnam Railways Corporation has upgraded some train cars with soft seats, air conditioning, TV, power outlets, wifi, and especially clean restrooms with spacious handwashing basins.
