What do I need to know before moving to Phan Thiet?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Phan Thiet, they said:
"Phan Thiet is a coastal city in Vietnam, known for its beautiful beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Expats should be aware that the city is quite small and the infrastructure is not as developed as in other parts of Vietnam. English is not widely spoken, so it is important to learn some basic Vietnamese before moving to Phan Thiet. The cost of living is relatively low, but expats should be aware that there are limited job opportunities in the city. It is also important to research the local culture and customs before moving to Phan Thiet, as this will help to ensure a smooth transition," explained one expat living in Phan Thiet, Vietnam.
"Try to find an expat with experience and ask advice and assistance. One can not prepare himself for what he, or she, will find when you arrive in Vietnam. Knowing the right people, especially if you come here to conduct business, is very important! Vietnam is not waiting for expats to come and live here. 1 wrong gesture can break your dream without you realizing it; until you run out of cash," said one expat in Phan Thiet.
