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.

Doing the same in Bali…
I just spent a week in Nha Trang and had a good time. This is the 3rd time in 3yrs and noticed a lot of Russian signs and the people. Never had any problems with them but they are very arrogant people won’t talk to you .Didn’t really bother me to much but I got into a lift with a couple of ladies and said something to them and the just looked at each other and I got nothing from them not a smile nothing. How hard is it to say hi or smile 😃. That won’t stop me from going back there
Plenty in Danang as well, must admit they seem to keep themselves to themselves, not very friendly but maybe they are wary of strangers? Didnt detract from the place, I do wonder why people choose to travel yet also choose not to chat? Seems counter intuitive but I havent been to Russia so maybe its the norm?
Had booked to stay 4 nights in Nha Trang coming from Dalat, what a shithole we ended up leaving after 4 hours.
Locals were very unfriendly to me and my wife. Later found out they thought we were Russian. Made sure they knew we were Aussie and attitude changed dramatically. Still don’t like NHS Trang reminds me of Gold Coast
Many Vietnamese like Russian tho
Bali is the same now too…..war dodging is a real thing! A lot of war aged men did a runner .
I love Nha Trang
I was in Phu Quoc and there were a lot of Russian restaurants (and people). I didn’t have any bad experiences it was just not enough of local life. Didn’t feel particularly Vietnamese
Phu Quoc is same 😳
