My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I’ve loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It’s full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I’ve been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing past you on the footpath. I’ve heard them abuse the locals way too often. It’s not nice here anymore. I came to Nha Trang 16 years ago and really enjoyed myself. This time, I actually ended up avoiding going out, because the vibe isn’t great.Maybe I was in the wrong part of Nha Trang, but I am so happy to be leaving and I won’t be coming back. Has anyone else had a similar experience here, or is it just me?I did meet a couple of nice ones, but the majority just treated others like we are in their way, like servants and the manners were non existent that I saw, in general.

Unfortunately same here in Karon in Thailand .. no smiles .. my husband said the pushing past in the streets is due to the fact they drive on the other side of the road 🤣 To me its just rudeness 🙄
Never had a problem with anyone anywhere in Vietnam. Not Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hanoi, HCMC ……. etc, etc
Totally agree, my husband and I were there in January , we refused to eat anywhere that had a Russian history out the front , we wanted authenticity otherwise we would have gone to Russia 🙄
Completely agree. We stayed in Nha Trang last week & yes full of Russians. Unfortunately we had been booked into an apartment in a dodgy area & yes lots of Russians there. Felt very unsafe. Moved to a hotel in the city, full of Russians also. Found them very rude especially to the hotel staff, who were beautiful people. Couldn’t wait to get out of Nha Trang!
We’ve just got back from Na Trang and Hon tre island…absolutely loved it…had no issues with Russian speaking people…..no more than the Spanish must feel about Brits in Benidorm …
Russiaphobia is alive and well by all the westerners on here.
We were there for Christmas 2024, absolutely hated it , the Russians have jaded the locals and made them miserable. When they found out we were Australians they completely changed to smiles the way we remembered them. Feel so sorry for the locals.
I was there 6 years ago and full of Russians and also in Mui Ne where most of the shops were owned by Russians. I found it weird to be in Vietnam and it was full of Russians.
We all need to be more aware…would make things so much easier and kind🙏
Same for us. They have totally ruined it for others. I feel really badly for the locals that have to put up with them.
