Phan Thiết audio|Phan Thiet.ogg|pronunciation town is the capital city of Bình Thuận Province, in southeastern Vietnam.

Located on an arm of the South China Sea, Phan Thiết is one of Vietnam's most important fishing areas. Its population is roughly 205,333 (as of 2004). Hồ Chí Minh lived in Phan Thiết for a short time and taught at the Đức Thành school.

During the Vietnam War, Phan Thiết was the site of the U.S. military base known as Landing Zone Betty, which was located at the now closed airfield southwest of the city. In recent years, Phan Thiết (specifically Mũi Né Beach district) has been transformed into a resort destination. October 24, 1995 is considered to be the birth of tourism in Phan Thiết, when thousands rushed to Mũi Né to see the total solar eclipse. The event was commemorated on the same day in 2005 as the tenth anniversary of tourism for the province.

Local people in Phan Thiết regularly practice a ceremony to a whale god, which is believed to give good luck in nautical pursuits. [http://www.thingsasian.com/stories-photos/25477/7577043/1/itm0_art]
