smaller city than ho chi minh and even phan thiet; you can’t even order food on grab here. however, compared to the city, it feels much nicer here since we’re literally right on the beach and i can walk from my hotel to the sand. i thought phan thiet was small until i got here and there’s not many buildings that go past even having a third floor. in saigon, houses are normally five floors since theres more length than width and there’s only so much room to work with. they can’t build out so the only way is to build up.
