Bangkok (VNA) – The beach resort of Quy
Nhon in the south central province of Binh Dinh was featured in an article published
on the Bangkok Post, a major English-language newspaper in Thailand, on May 9.
Describing the small coastal town as a new beach
holiday destination, the article said Quy Nhon has the charms that many popular
beach towns in this part of the world have lost: peace and quiet, the slow
life, and genuine friendliness from the locals.
It noted that such peace and local friendliness
are possible because Quy Nhon is still a relatively new destination where fishery
and agriculture have long been the important sources of income for the locals. Recently,
Quy Nhon’s pristine beaches, emerald waters, and superbly fresh seafood have
been drawing visitors.
The article presented an overview of the town’s rich cultural history dating
back to ancient times, and highlighted some local attractions such as
Champa-era ruins and bustling fresh markets where a large variety of fresh
seafood can be found along with tasty food.
“This is one of the places to enjoy a restful
beach holiday, to recharge the battery and reconnect with oneself. The slow
life in Quy Nhon is a reminder of how important the small happinesses are,” the
article said. It added that development, however, is catching on fast, and
things may quickly change. –VNA
