My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.

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.

    Na Trang has been like that for over 20 years the first time we went there it was full of Russians they were taking over restaurants tourist places Massage parlours everywhere that’s why I won’t go back to NaTrang.

    All I can say is that It’s a perfect destination if you are Russian.

    I am an American and spent a week in Nha Trang. Yes a lot of businesses cater to Russians because the people come. Many come from the “…stans “ but met many friendly there. Yes the culture is different but just because you don’t get a smile when you pass on the street does not mean the city is unfriendly. Yes NT has more international tourists and therefore not the traditional feel as other cities but beach, proximity to sites and choice of food and accommodations makes it a great place to spend at least 1 week.

    I’ve never found any of them outwardly rude, but they’re just non-reactive. They don’t really interact with anyone and seem to walk around in their own little bubble. They give off a strange vibe without really doing anything wrong

    Vietnam is a beautiful country with wonderful and welcoming citizens. It’s a shame certain groups of tourists cause problems and make others want to avoid places that are otherwise pleasant and charming.
