Bai Thung

Looking for a place that hasn't been overrun by tourists and where you can get lost in nature? How about breathing in the tranquility of the sea and the sky? Traveling with Asia King to Ninh Thuan's Bai Thung, a beautiful and still largely unknown place, is such an escape your will remain wondering by its amazing purity.

Where is Bai Thung and what makes it special?

Bai Thung (often called Vung Thung) is a secluded beach in Vinh Hai Commune, Ninh Hai District, which is currently located in Khanh Hoa Province after the recent merger with Ninh Thuan. It is located about 8 km from Vinh Hy Bay on the way to Binh Tien Beach, with a 400-meter coastline with moderate depth.

What characterizes the destination is its untouched wilderness: there is no electric power supply, no telephone facility, no toilets, and no drinking water supply - which makes it like a mystery world covered by nature. In exchange, visitors will be able to see bright coral reefs, study diverse marine life, and enjoy the scenic beauty of an unpolluted coast.

The Charm of Bai Thung

Majestic natural scenery

When you step onto Bai Thung, you will immediately fall in love with its jade waters as soothing waves caress the beach incessantly producing music. A beach of soft powdery sand is dotted with shades of coral rubble providing coloration and character to the landscapes. It feels like stepping deeper into a virgin artwork of nature because even the smallest of details sparkle with cleanliness and natural beauty.

In the backdrop, gigantic cliffs that have been shaped by thousands of years of currents, waves, and wind rise majestically, producing strange and intriguing rock formations. Those natural sculputs add an aura of mystery for Bai Thung that very few other beaches possess. Above everything, as the place has been left relatively untouched by the hand of man, the entire stretch retains its peace and wilderness that makes those who come feel like they've walked into their very own world - out of the rat race of their daily life.

Camping and Sunset at Bai Thung

If you are arriving as a group, the rocky outcrop on the left at the main beach is an ideal location from which you can set up camp tents. The flat, open rocks have just enough room to setup camp, arrange a barbie/grill facility, and prepare for a savory outdoor barbecue. Surrounded by untroubled natural surroundings, gathering wood for the campfire, al fresco cooking, relishing freshly caught seafood while listening to soothing waves will create memories that will last forever.

When the sun gradually descends, Bai Thung experiences a romantic and serene atmosphere. Now's the perfect time to light up a campfire, sit down together, sing songs, share stories, and enjoy the crisp cold sea breeze at night. Above you, the star-studded sky is clearer and brighter than anywhere else, offering an otherworldly, almost mystical atmosphere to the landscape. Watching the flames at a campfire, staring at the stars, and hearing waves gently caress the beach will be an experience you will never forget from your Bai Thung trip.

Stops along the journey to Bai Thung

On the way to Bai Thung, you will pass by Vinh Hy Bay - one of the most beautiful bays in Vietnam. Here, emerald-green waters embrace small islets rising from the sea, surrounded by lush primary forests. The harmony of mountains and ocean creates a scene that is both majestic and poetic. If time allows, you can rent a boat to cruise around the bay, marvel at the coral reefs through crystal-clear waters, or stop to enjoy freshly prepared seafood made by local fishermen.

Only a few minutes from Bai Thung lies Binh Tien Beach, its other name being the “mini Maldives” of Ninh Thuan. Renowned for its blue-green waters, silky fine sand, and gentle sea breeze, it’s perfect for leisure as well as exploration. One could snorkel out to witness the lush coral ecosystem thriving with life, go on a tour with local fishermen for a fishing expedition, or merely float over the cool waves of water to rid yourself of stress.

The best thing perhaps is to enjoy freshly caught sea food on the boat itself - the saltiness of the sea merging with the natural taste of each food that leaves you with pleasant memories of Ninh Thuan’s beachy charm.

Travel tips for visiting Bai Thung

Since Bai Thung remains untouched and undeveloped for tourism, careful preparation is essential before your trip. Carry lots of drinking water, dry food item, cooking gear, and personal essentials since there are no food shops or restaurants. You will require sleeping equipment like tent, sleeping bag, and torch if you will camp a night there.

Equally important is preservation of the environment and protection of the natural charm of this isolated beach. Always pack your garbage out and pick up your trash, never litter, nor harm coral reefs nor sea creatures. Because the phone reception here is bad or nonexistent, you should inform your family of your itinerary in advance and go with groups of people for your protection. Being adequately prepared will make your journey to Bai Thung not only safer but also preserve the pristine character of the seaside gem.
