Flash forward a few years to when the wandering watersports community caught on to the awesome conditions here, and Mui Ne beach quickly developed into a windsurfing and kitesurfing haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern Mui Ne is a mishmash of culture; while the Ham Tien part of town is mostly dominated by foreign tourism and the kitesurf community, you only need to take a spin 10 kilometers up the road to find the \u2018real\u2019 Mui Ne, where fishermen and simple lifestyles still reign supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"middle\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTQQmHOAEdI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\"background: #FFF;

Early risers taking a stroll through the village will often find they\u2019re the only ones around, the rest of the town either still sleeping off last night\u2019s party, recharging with a sunrise yoga session, or stocking up on supplies at the early morning wet market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire town runs along the length of a single road, where you\u2019ll either be on \u201cthe beach side\u201d or \u201cthe not beach side\u201d. Because of this, there\u2019s no real \u2018center\u2019 to Mui Ne; at the same time this means that nothing is too far away- walking the length of the busiest part of town takes about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as being considered one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourtravellifestyle.com\/country\/viet-nam\/must-visit-destinations-in-vietnam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">best destinations to visit in Vietnam<\/a>, Mui Ne is a seasonal tourist town, at its busiest between November and April and quietest during the rainy summer months. Most nomads head to town during the high season, with a few choosing to stay full-time throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it has become quite a hub in recent years, Mui Ne is a good 4-5 hour drive away from Ho Chi Minh City (keep reading to find out the best way to get here from the city), and 3-4 hours from Nha Trang. However, it\u2019s down to this central location that you can easily reach other fantastic nomad-friendly spots, such as Dalat and <a href=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/phan-rang-vietnam-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phan Rang<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And within the town itself, dayumn, there\u2019s a lot goin\u2019 on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No BS list of things to do in Mui Ne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But first, a caveat:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mui Ne was our adopted home for a little over a year (and dang, lemme tell you, it wasn\u2019t an easy place to leave).

Windsurfers sussed the place out way back in the 90\u2019s for its awesome wind and water conditions, and there\u2019s still a small community of active windsurfers in town today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-ta-image wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-7368\"><ta><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/windsurf-mui-ne-2.jpg\" alt=\"Windsurfing at Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-7368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/windsurf-mui-ne-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/windsurf-mui-ne-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/ta><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find the crew at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jibesbeachclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Jibe\u2019s Beach Club<\/a>, which is easy to spot along the main road in town. Lessons and gear rental are both on offer, and you\u2019re guaranteed to be well looked after by beach club managers Adie and Matt, along with their team of awesome beach boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surfing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfing in Mui Ne depends on wind swell and storm fronts (as is the case for all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/best-surfing-vietnam-guide\/\">surf spots in Vietnam<\/a>). And granted, it\u2019s not exactly 5 meter barrels you\u2019ll find here, but if you keep your eye on the weather forecast you\u2019ll see that Mui Ne\u2019s waves are in fact worth waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfing along the main beach in Ham Tien doesn\u2019t happen very often- only if a mega storm front has blown through and left behind some clean breaks. Generally speaking, there are three other surf spots in Mui Ne worth visiting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malibu should be your first port of call. Set 7 km away from the main \u201cdowntown\u201d area, this huge stretch of beach gets some decent swell and nice clean waves, particularly during high season (November-April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s Suoi Nuoc, which is located in front of Mui Ne\u2019s famous white sand dunes. This is the host spot for the town\u2019s annual Sunrise Surf &amp; SUP wave riding competition (hosted by Jibe\u2019s Beach Club) as well as local surf club, Vietnam Surf Soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-ta-image wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-7372\"><ta><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/surf-mui-ne.jpg\" alt=\"Surfing at Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-7372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/surf-mui-ne.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/surf-mui-ne-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/ta><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there\u2019s Little Buddha, a spot that came into being after the nearby Sea Links Resort built a walkway that juts out into the bay; a happy accident for local surfers, since perfect little waves form after hitting the concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Practical side note: surfboards are easy enough to rent at each of the above spots.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paddle boarding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many different alcoves dotting the coastline, taking out a stand-up paddle board (or SUP, as it\u2019s known) is one of the most awesome things to do in Mui Ne when it comes to getting to know your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jibe\u2019s Beach Club makes for the perfect base to enjoy a wee paddle session out on the open sea (though it gets pretty tough as soon as there\u2019s a hint of wind, so best off sticking to early mornings and no-wind days). The club has a mix of inflatable and solid Starboard SUPs up for rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the low season, our morning ritual used to consist of an hour-long paddle out from Jibe\u2019s (followed by a yummy omelette or bowl of pho in their beachside restaurant- sooo good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you looking for some beginner-friendly flat water paddle action, hook up with C2Sky Kite Center owner, Liz, and her fantastic team of beach boys who offer SUP tours through Mui Ne\u2019s fishing village at sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of which&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the fishing village<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t rightly visit Mui Ne without making a trip to the traditional fishing village. For the locals, this is one of the main hubs of activity in town, and from a visitor\u2019s eyes, it\u2019s probably the best reflection of what life in \u2018real\u2019 Mui Ne is actually like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-ta-image wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-3277\"><ta><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/muineharbor-grahamebooker-websize.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional fishing village in Mui Ne, Vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-3277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/muineharbor-grahamebooker-websize.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/muineharbor-grahamebooker-websize-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/muineharbor-grahamebooker-websize-440x220.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/ta><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing village sits about 10-15 minutes north of the touristy Ham Tien side of town (the location changes from one side of the cape to the next as the seasonal wind direction shifts) where dozens- if not hundreds- of colourful junk boats and traditional coracles bob up and down in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Seafood lovers, eat your lil\u2019 fishy hearts out!<\/em> This is bound to be one of your absolute favourite things to do in Mui Ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a truly unique experience, visit the fishing village at sunrise to see the fishermen arrive back to shore with the night\u2019s catch. They\u2019ll hand the goods over to the wives and grandmas, who\u2019ll haggle with customers right on the shoreline as they try to strike a deal on their fresh catch- crabs, snapper, mussels, eels, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drive through the backcountry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Head up to the highway behind Mui Ne and take any of the little turns west; there are <em>tons<\/em> of sweet little villages, stretches of rural farmland, and miles of snaking roads passing through thick groves of palm trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rent a scooter from, well.. Basically anywhere along the main road in Mui Ne and set off on your own adventure. Who knows what you might discover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-ta-image wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-7366\"><ta><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sand-dunes-mui-ne-2.jpg\" alt=\"Red sand dunes in Mui Ne, Vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-7366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sand-dunes-mui-ne-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/extremenomads.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sand-dunes-mui-ne-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/ta><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(Side note: there are some important tidbits of info that you should know about before renting a scooter in Mui Ne- namely to do with driving license requirements and local police stops. We\u2019ll give you full details on that a little later on.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of my happiest, most beautiful memories of living in Mui Ne were during the days when Jim and I would take off on our motorbike to explore some random corner of the countryside that we\u2019d spotted on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There really wasn\u2019t anything scientific about it, and most of the time we had very little (okaaaay okay, zero) idea where we were going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which&#8230; is kinda the awesome thing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cycling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the road that runs through Mui Ne is less than ideal for cyclists (think potholes, manically swerving drivers, and lots of horn beeping), the back roads just outside the village offer some beautiful routes for a two-wheeled adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head up to the new highway (yup, the very same one we just talked about in the last section) overlooking the village and you\u2019ll be greeted with: #1 panoramic views of the coastline below and #2 not a single vehicle in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Boo<\/em> <em>ya!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This \u201chighway\u201d connects the fishermen\u2019s end of Mui Ne with Phan Thiet and, at the moment, very few cars and bikes drive this road (plus the new tarmac makes it ideal for cyclists).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fancy taking things off the beaten track, take one of the small side street turns off the highway (on the opposite side of the road to Ham Tien\/Mui Ne) and head into the jungle brush to discover some of those tiny local villages we just mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even take these little snaking roads all the way back to the coastline just north of Mui Ne, where you can then continue onwards to Phan Rang or even Da Lat. It might be a long journey, but for a seasoned cyclist it\u2019ll be no sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For bicycle and mountain bike rentals in Mui Ne, check out the small rental shop on the main road opposite Novella Resort.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking Ta Cu Mountain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Aright aright, so teeeechnically this one isn\u2019t \u201cin\u201d Mui Ne (it\u2019s actually about 30 km west) but it is one of the most noteworthy on-land outdoor activities in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ta Cu Mountain is home to one of the few decent hiking trails around Mui Ne, and is covered in super lush jungle and filled with wildlife (think exotic birds and monkeys). Even more impressive though is the 59 meter-long, pearly white, lying Buddha statue at the summit- word on the street is that it\u2019s the largest of its kind in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to hike up the mountain- which is totally doable, even though some of the path is pretty overgrown- or take the 10 minute cable car to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"middle\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqposR_FNiv\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\"background: #FFF;

Playyyz&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re keen to do a spot of retail therapy, there are a couple of key shops in Mui Ne that might tickle your fancy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, since Mui Ne\u2019s surf culture runs so strong, big name brands like Rip Curl, 69 Slam, and Roxy\/Quiksilver have set up shops in town. This is actually one of the only places in all of Vietnam where you can buy surf apparel straight from the shop, so if you\u2019re in the market for a new pair of board shorts or a cute bikini, make your way on over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the gals specifically, there\u2019s a couple of fab boutique designers in town who are making super gorgeous, unique, travel friendly clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get crafty at a macrame workshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a) female and b) don\u2019t live under a rock, chances are you\u2019re well aware of the mighty macrame trend that\u2019s taken over Instagram.

font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2017-05-28T08:40:58+00:00\">May 28, 2017 at 1:40am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The class typically lasts all morning, beginning with an early trip to the wet market where you\u2019ll purchase all the fresh ingredients needed for your dishes (and sample a few of the local specialties while you\u2019re at it!). Then you\u2019ll be driven back to the school to cook up a storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A word of warning: you are going to make and eat a lot of food. Do NOT eat breakfast. Wear stretchy pants. Maybe even consider fasting for like, three days beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join a yoga class<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mui Ne has yogis coming out its ears, with classes offered in-house by resorts, surf clubs, and even in specialised yoga centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Class schedules and availability changes seasonally, as most instructors will come to town and teach during the high season and leave during the low season. It\u2019s easiest to find classes between November-April, but that said it\u2019s usually possible to find someone somewhere ready to teach a class at any given time throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/MuineInfoandEvents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Mui Ne Info &amp; Events Facebook<\/a> page for sessions happening currently; use the search function to find the latest yoga posts- or write your own call-out and see who gets back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to eat in Mui Ne, Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the things to do in Mui Ne, eating might actually be my all-time favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can eat pretty much whatever you fancy here: Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Russian, Italian, French, fresh seafood, BBQ, vegetarian\/vegan\u2026 You name it, one of the Mui Ne restaurants has probably got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <em>tons<\/em> of great resties in town- I could easily write an entire article just on what to eat in Mui Ne (hmmm\u2026. Is that an idea?!). But for now, I\u2019ll just leave you with my absolute can\u2019t-miss picks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choi Oi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Run by Miss Thuy and her family (remember, Mui Ne Cooking School??), Choi Oi is the absolute best place in town to chill out, slurp a coconut, and chow down on some home cooked Vietnamese food. Vegetarians and vegans rejoice- this is the place to eat the best veggie pho that\u2019s ever existed on the face of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ganesh<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In short: friggin\u2019 delicious Indian food at a seriously reasonable price. They\u2019ve got an enormous menu with something to suit every flavour- and plenty of vegan\/veggie options (there\u2019s actually an entire North Indian vegetarian section of the menu- don\u2019t miss the Punjabi Chana Masala!). Treat yourself to a <em>thali<\/em> if you\u2019re ready to get really stuffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re feeling like splurging on a seriously beautiful meal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-8884358-11552042?sid=top-things-to-do-in-mui-ne-vietnam&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-s1-g298086-d451027-Reviews-Sailing_Club_Resort_Mui_Ne-Phan_Thiet_Binh_Thuan_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mia <\/a>is the place to go; bigass burgers, open sandwiches on homemade bread, fresh salads, smoothie bowls, and more. Get. In. My. Belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dong Vui Food Court<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All things considered, this may be my favourite place in Mui Ne to eat\/drink\/be a general glutton. The giant, open-air food court is made up of a hodgepodge of stalls, each selling their own specialty menu and dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your pick between classic Vietnamese, spicy AF Thai curries, fresh Italian pasta, cheese boards, steaming pans of paella, and more. OOOOH, and they also have a brilliant selection of craft beers on tap (for crazy cheap prices). Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gino\u2019s Pizza<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the pizza joints in all of Mui Ne, this is the clear winner to me. The price is good, the quality is <em>great<\/em>, and Nam- the main man running the show- is just about the nicest dude going. He\u2019ll chat your ear off about tody\u2019s kitesurfing session while your pizza bakes in the oven, but once it arrives- trust me, yo- your mouth is gonna be waaaaay too busy eating that delicious cheesy goodness to continue the convo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dirty, cheesy, delicious Mexican food. That\u2019s what I think of when The Bar has anything to do with things! In actual fact, they have a ginormous menu with not just Mexican food, but all kinds of Vietnamese and Western flavours; plus huge portions and unbeatable prices to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">El Cafe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Argh, how I wish El Cafe had been open during my time in Mui Ne! This vegan-friendly restaurant opened up super recently, and has since earned a glowing reputation from locals for its insanely delicious, locally-sourced vegetarian food. Cheap cheap, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"middle\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQ9aPK2DeTc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\"background: #FFF;

Here\u2019s where to grocery shop in Mui Ne, Vietnam<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main wet markets in Mui Ne for fruits, veggies, fresh fish and meats; Ham Tien Market (3km away from \u201cdowntown\u201d) and Mui Ne Market (8km away). Best go between 6-9am for the freshest pick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of grocery shopping in Mui Ne, you\u2019re limited to the basics; although if it\u2019s sunscreen and inflatable pool toys you\u2019re after- by chrisht, you\u2019re in luck! There\u2019s at least two dozen shops that have your name all over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a couple of \u2018essentials\u2019 shops where you can get basic food and household supplies; but you\u2019ll need to go to Phan Thiet (12 km away) for everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phan Thiet has two big supermarkets, the Co-op and Lotte Mart. Between the two of them, you can find most things (including some imported products like cheese, wine, pesto, butter, pasta, and cereals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for up there and you really have a craving, <a href=\"http:\/\/annam-gourmet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Annam Gourmet Market<\/a> in Ho Chi Minh has indicated that they will make deliveries up to Mui Ne as long as the customer pays the cost of putting the goods on the bus\/train (approx. $5). Contact their customer service for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mui Ne nightlife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re up for a few quiet pints of quality beer or a vodka-infused wiggle and boogie at a nightclub, there\u2019s plenty of things to do in Mui Ne after hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best bars in town &#8211; our tops picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mooney\u2019s Irish Pub<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No frills Irish bar run by a bona fide Howth man, Liam. Get your craic, Jameson, and Guinness fix here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crown &amp; Anchor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>English sports bar owned by a wonderful couple, Englishman Brian and his Kyrgyzstani partner Adele (and their loveable dog Mini). Great selection of draft beers and oodles of screens showing the latest sports coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joe\u2019s<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The place in town for live music- and they\u2019ve got it on 7 nights a week, no less. They stock all kinds of craft beer, including my absolute numero uno, <a href=\"https:\/\/pasteurstreet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pasteur Street\u2019s<\/a> passion fruit wheat ale. Joe\u2019s is also one of the best places in town to smoke shisha, if you\u2019re down for that kinda thang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jibe\u2019s<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideal for a frosty post-surf-session bottle of beer. They may just have the best happy hour deal in town, too (made better by the fact that they have, like, <em>three<\/em> happy hours a day?!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Source<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Source Kiteboarding and Lodge is located about 10 minutes from the main strip in Mui Ne, and- apart from being one of our top picks for kitesurfing schools in town- it&#8217;s also got the single best rooftop bar in all of Mui Ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving up delicious cocktails, frosty beers, and glasses of wine, you can also binge out on some seriously yummy food- all while looking over the epic scenery of Mui Ne Beach.&nbsp;<em>Tip: head there at sunset to score the best views!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Old Fashioned<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The only real mixology bar in Mui Ne, they serve up a seriously impressive menu of quality wines, spirits, classic and specialty cocktails. FYI, they do a damn good negroni!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lively bars\/nightclubs in Mui Ne:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For when you\u2019re ready to up the ante and (if you\u2019re anything like me) humiliate yourself on the dance floor, head over to any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dragon Beach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jury says this is the biggest and best nightclub in town. Dragon Beach features an indoor dance floor and bar area, as well as a separate 360 degree outdoor bar and separate DJ booth. Weekends are big here, especially during high season and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Line Up<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With a big dance floor and fully stocked bar overlooking the seaside, Line Up often hosts live music\/DJ events from international artists, including the likes of Wankelmut and The Prodigy\u2019s Leeroy Thornhill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mad Monkey Backpacker Bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest club to join the roster, Mad Monkey is an extension of the Mui Ne Hills Hotel empire that sits up on top of Ham Tien, overlooking the town and bay. They\u2019re known for their wild parties filled with young, energetic backpackers- and Mad Monkey is where it all comes to a booze-fuelled peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chameleon Beach Bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Live DJs, a huge bar, and chilled out views of the crashing waves below- that\u2019s what Chameleon is all about. For those of you who\u2019ve been to Mui Ne in the past 10-ish years, you\u2019ll probably know this space as Pogo; but new owners have come in mid-2018 and have the place transformed and looking smashing- but with the same good tech\/house beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Nomad tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to work remotely in Mui Ne, Vietnam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are currently no official coworking spaces in Mui Ne, there are a handful of digital nomad friendly cafes and beach clubs where you can pull out the laptop and clock in some hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favourites are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jibe\u2019s Beach Club and Bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally established as the main windsurfing hub in town, Jibe\u2019s is a big, open-air beach club, restaurant, and bar. Good wifi, plugs, tasty grub, lots of feet-in-the-sand chairs and couches- and it\u2019s one of the few places in town with a backup generator (so no panic if you get caught in the occasional power out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choi Oi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Miss Thuy and her family just opened this cheap-and-cheerful restaurant late in 2017, and they\u2019ve already earned themselves a reputation as one of the best eateries in town. Free wifi (and plugs) and chilled cafe vibes- not to mention awesome food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backstage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Centrally located (on the \u201cnot beach side\u201d of the road), Backstage has big comfy couches and reliable wifi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internet speeds in Mui Ne, Vietnam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Internet in Mui Ne has been catching up in speed recently, and you\u2019ll now find a minimum of 10 Mbps almost everywhere, while some already enjoy fiber optic up to 50 Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only issue with internet in Mui Ne is the occasional power blackout that can last anywhere from 10 minutes to a full day- and will be a pain if the place you\u2019re working remotely from doesn\u2019t have a generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SIM cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>3G\/4G in Vietnam averages 5.4 Mb\/s, which is lower than the Asia-Pacific average of 9.69 Mb\/s. Vietnam\u2019s 4G networks cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telecomasia.net\/content\/vietnams-4g-population-coverage-hits-95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">95%<\/a> of the nation\u2019s population and there are no known dead spots anywhere around Mui Ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main 4G providers in Vietnam are Mobifone, Viettel and Vinaphone.
