Discover the remains of Po Sah Inu Cham Towers in Phan Thiet, Vietnam

As we explore different places around the globe, it is always in our top priority to see the places that are not usually hyped by the crowd. Immersing ourselves in the culture of each country or province is what keeps us excited to discover new places and to share more of our DIY trips.

• For this entry, we wanted share with you a part of our DIY budget travel in the southeast part of Vietnam, Phan Thiet.

It is not unlikely for the country of Vietnam to have places of worship and in this trip we were able to visit one called the Po Sah Inu Cham Towers which some of the locals call as “The Little Angkor Wat of Vietnam”. This is due to its structure similar to the small parts of the ruins of the Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

If you are planning to visit Vietnam and want to have some cultural exploration, then you might want to add Po Sah Inu Towers on your list of unique cultural places to visit around Vietnam.

ABOUT PO SAH INU CHAM TOWERS

Cham Empire was once a powerful kingdom during the 7^th to 9^th During these times, Po Sah Inu Cham Towers (also called Poshanu Cham Towers) were built as a dedication of worship to Shiva (The God of Destruction – Hinduism), Agni (A God in Verdic tradition) and Nandi (Holy mount – gatekeeper of Shiva).

• The name Po Sah Inu came from the daughter of King Par Ra Cham Chanh, Princess Po Sah Inu (lived and worshipped during the 15^th century).
