Tam Thanh is an active fishing village where local houses feature colorful wall paintings. A joint Vietnamese-Korean art project started these murals in 2016 to help boost local tourism. You will see paintings of local fishermen, marine life, and daily village activities on the concrete walls. The murals are spread along narrow pathways between the houses and the beach. Walking through the village takes about one to two hours. Because this is a residential area, visitors should respect the privacy of the families living here. There is no entrance fee to enter the village, but small parking fees may apply if you ride a motorbike.

The best time to visit Tam Thanh mural village is early morning before 9:00 AM or late afternoon after 3:30 PM. During these hours, the temperature is cooler and the light is better for taking photos. Midday temperatures can be very high, and there is little shade along the village paths. Visiting in the afternoon also allows you to see the local beach come alive as fishermen prepare their boats. Most of the murals face the sun, so midday light can cause harsh shadows on the artwork. For seasonal weather advice, consult a Trip2VN specialist before booking your travel dates.

The coastal road between Hội An and Tam Thanh offers a quiet alternative to the busy city beaches. You will pass through small fishing communities, sandy pine forests, and uncrowded beaches like Tam Thanh beach. Local seafood shacks along the coast serve fresh fish, squid, and crabs at lower prices than in tourist centers. A typical seafood lunch for two people starts from $15 (approximate). You can also stop at the Heroic Mother Nguyễn Thị Thứ Monument near Tam Kỳ city, which is about 15 kilometers from the village. This monument is one of the largest of its kind in Vietnam.
