About the Creator of MuiNeBeach.net
This website is the sole creation of Adam Bray, an American writer who first settled in Mui Ne in 2003. He created this site out of the appreciation for his new adopted home town of Phan Thiet (of which he is fiercely proud) and his dear friends who live there. It is his hope that through this site he can share the great depth of history, culture and natural beauty that Binh Thuan Province has to offer. Its people, history, culture, environment and natural resources should be treasured.

He is also an expert on contemporary Vietnamese music, entertainment, and tourism in Binh Thuan Province and throughout the country. Adam has assisted as a location scout, production assistant and marketing consultant for filming in Vietnam, and has extensive contacts among the top performers in Ho Chi Minh City.
Adam has been featured in or written for a variety of Vietnam publications, including AsiaLife, Vietnam Pathfinder, Giai Dieu Xanh and eChip. Adam is a frequent contributor to ThingsAsian and a contributing author to their three guidebooks for Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.
