Ho Chi Minh city to Phan Thiet train (by Vietnam Railway)

If you’re looking to travel by train from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet or Mui Ne, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

Main Railway Stations in Binh Thuan:

Binh Thuan Railway Station:

• This station is part of the main North-South railway line (Sai Gon - Ha Noi), making it a stop for several trains, including SE8, SPT2, SE12, SE6, SE22, TN4, SE4, and SE2.
• There are more departure options available at this station.
• However, it is located around 10 km from Phan Thiet city center and approximately 40 km from Mui Ne, requiring additional transportation.

Phan Thiet Railway Station:

• This station serves a branch line specifically for the Sai Gon - Phan Thiet route.
• The only train operating on this route is the SPT2.
• Although Phan Thiet station is closer to the city center, it has fewer train options compared to Binh Thuan station.

Types of Tickets:

The Vietnam railway operator typically prioritizes berth tickets for longer routes such as Sai Gon - Nha Trang, Sai Gon - Da Nang, or Sai Gon - Hanoi. Berth tickets for the Sai Gon - Phan Thiet route are not regularly available for advance booking, especially more than 15 days ahead. Additionally, as this is a relatively short journey (around 4 hours), soft seat tickets are a convenient, economical, and comfortable option. Therefore, for this route, we only offer soft seat tickets.

If you are interested in booking a soft berth or a private cabin, please submit a request through this link with your preferred travel date. We will check availability and get back to you via email.

Important Note:

There is no direct train service to Mui Ne. The nearest railway station is Phan Thiet, which is approximately 30 km away, so additional transport arrangements are necessary to reach Mui Ne.

By considering these points, you can choose the most convenient travel option for your trip to Phan Thiet / Mui Ne.
