This is a famous hot pot dish of Phan Thiet , originating from a rustic dish of the people of the coastal area of Mui Ne - Phan Thiet. The reason for its name is because in the past, fishermen often put what they caught from the sea into a pot, then poured water in and cooked it into a hot pot. Gradually, it has been upgraded to a local specialty, attracting tourists to enjoy. Coming to Phan Thiet, tourists can enjoy hot pot at restaurants, hotels or coastal eateries. The dish has the fresh taste of fish, the fatty taste of meat and vegetables mixed with the thick, fragrant dipping sauce that makes tourists forever impressed, feeling like enjoying all the quintessence of the sea melting in their mouths.

The Provincial People's Committee has prepared a dossier for the dish Lau Tha and sent it to the Asia Records Institute to establish a record according to the criteria of Asian culinary and specialty values . The Asia Records Organization has approved and established an Asian record for the dish Lau Tha Phan Thiet in December 2023 .
