Camp Po Thit

Camp Po Thit stood in the coastal region of Phan Thiết, once part of the southern Cham realm of Panduranga. The Vietnamese name Phan Thiết reflects the older Cham name Hamu Lithit, and the fortification bore the name of Po Thit. The surrounding coast belonged to a succession of Cham centres stretching south from Phan Rang. After the fall of Vijaya in 1471, Panduranga endured as a reduced Cham principality, though its rulers increasingly had to contend with the expanding Nguyễn lords.
