Ma Thuột (formerly Lac Giao [1]) 
pronunciation (help·info) or sometimes Buon
Ma Thuat, Buon Ma Thuat, Ban Me Thuot, or Banmethuot, is the
capital city of Dak Lak Province,
in the Central
Highlands of Vietnam.
Its population is approximately 300,000. The city is the largest in
Vietnam's Central Highlands region and is famous as the regional
"capital of coffee". It was
originally settled by the Ê Đê but due to the incoming
Viêt
settlement after the Vietnam war and the active acculturation
policy, only around 40,000 people are Montagnards.
It is also a useful base for treks to nearby Yok Don National Park.
Buon Ma Thuot is served by Buon Ma Thuot Airport.
