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.

I like Nha Trang. Also, Russians get friendlier after the 5th drink.
in January .. we had a great time there, but out of the six resorts we went to that came bottom I’m afraid .. not the Vietnam I love
We had the same issue! just spent 30 days in NT. I am shocked at the culture difference!
Totally agree, much prefer Danang
So im planning on my first trip to Vietnam where would you recommend for someone likes to play golf, have a drink but not parties away from busy places packed with obnoxious & rude tourists but close enough for a night or 2 to walk safely around the place. quiet beaches ideal would be perfect . Any suggestions ?
Ok good to know. I wanted to go to Nha Trang originally and haven’t gone. I did go to Danang and surrounding cities overall and my experience there was amazing
Much better than Israelis in Sapa. Or anywhere
It seemed the younger Russians were a bit more social. The Russians think something is wrong with you if you smile at them for no reason. They tend to give a cold vibe. But, if you catch them in the right moment, maybe something you experience together, they can be very social. But, yeah, I felt the chill in Na Trang. Took awhile to get used to it.
Wow how unfortunate 💔. I feel bad for the locals!!! Its sad that nothing can be done or.can something be done??
Yep same experience last year. I’d also been there 20 years ago and loved it then, but would never go back
