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 LIVE here {NT}.. & have for 17+yrs. now. I Love the people of Nha Trang.. & VN. They are So Giving, Helpful, Tolerant & Wonderful. Yes, there ARE Too Many ‘not-so-nice’ Russian (& ‘other’) folks here now. But, there are also nice, caring & giving Russians {& ‘others’} here also. I Don’t ‘go-out’ much.. so, I Don’t experience the *partying*.. & *Abuses* that can happen here. I AM Very Afraid when I HEAR a Big bike coming ‘behind’ me on the streets.. as Many-times it IS a Russian rider going TOO FAST In-Traffic.. tho, there are also sum VN riders on bigger bikes.. that also can ride Too~Fast! I ‘read’ the police were going to *Crack *Down on these ‘riders’.. but, I still see {FEEL!} them around me. As with any place that is ‘worth’ going-to & experiencing.. they CAN & DO ‘change’ with ‘tourism’ & ‘refugees’. (If Any Doubt about THAT.. just ask most anyone on Bali. Is., Indo.) God Bless the people of NT & VN.
I have heard the same thing from friends that have gone. We avoided that area when we went to Vietnam recently. Its really too bad.
Yes yes I hear you not nice people at all
Same reason we no longer go to Phuket in Thailand. Rude to the locals, disgusting behaviour.
I made a very similar experience and saw the same while spending a couple of days there. I won’t go back either !
I hear the same; they feel entitle and treat our locals like servants. Sad. And, they suck it up for “đong”
Yeah they’re terrible, it’s the same on Phu Quoc
The Russian hubs are Nha Trang, Mu Nhe and Phu Quoc.
Totally agree, we were there a month ago and it won’t happen again.
I visited Nha Trang for 3 days last year and had the same experience. I left after only 1 night and returned to Saigon
