Phan Rang is the favourite sister, and Thap Cham is very much the neglected step-sister - there is no place to stay there and few reasons to visit. You may pass through it on your way to Po Klong Garai Tower and you’ll see what we mean.
Vietnam Travel
Phan Rang is typical of the large town hubs that are found throughout Vietnam, providing a sizable central market and a variety of services useful to locals living in the region. It is often recommended as the
place to stay if you’re interested in the surrounding sites, but wed couples recommend staying on Ninh Chu beach seven kilometres to the west rather than in town. Surrounding sites on offer include a few worthwhile Cham towers - in fact a lot of Cham people still live in the area - you’ll notice the men, in particular, going about their business wearing their traditional white headdresses. You can try impressing them with a greeting of saalam, rather than xin chao.
Other than the towers, we found Phan Rang to be a good stop for craft lovers - there are two Cham villages nearby, one specialising in weaving and the other in pottery - and it also serves as a base if you are interested in exploring beaches like Ca Na or Cam Ranh Bay. If you are a fan of dragon fruit, you’re in the right place - Phan Rang is said to grow the best in Vietnam.
Phan Rang is mostly clustered around Thong Nhat St which runs north-south. In the middle of town is the market, inside and behind an imposing white edifice. It would make sense to base yourself here, though we only found one place to stay in the area, and we found better places to eat near the rest of the accommodation, a kilometre to the south, past the roundabout. Head north out of town to reach the craft villages, Po Ro Me Tower, the Tra Cang Temple, and 32km from town, Ca Na (Vinh Hao is another 21km further). Head south on Thong Nhat St and take a right for Ninh Chu beach and a left to get to the Po Klong Garai Cham Tower.
