Arriving in Tanh Linh

21/04/2026 Emily Lượt xem: 15

One of the staff members picked me up at the bus station and took me to my hotel, which had already been arranged for me. I then had some time until the afternoon to explore the neighborhood a little and get settled before heading to the office.

The office in Tanh Linh is still quite new, as the team only moved there about 6 months ago. In total, seven staff members are working at this location.
 

 

 

In the evening, I went for a walk to get a better impression of the town. It is quite small, but surrounded by beautiful mountains, which makes the scenery really nice.


I especially enjoy the weather here. In the evenings, it gets a bit windy and the temperature drops to around 22°C, which feels much more comfortable compared to Phan Thiet, where it stayed around 28°C even at night. During the day, it is still very hot (around 32–36°C), but the office has several fans, so it is manageable.
