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.

    When travelling one needs to get used to different cultures.

    Oh great, I’m going to Nha trang next week as a base for a motorcycle tour. Is there anywhere in Nha Trang to avoid the Russians?

    Totally agree. 17 years ago it was so peaceful and now has completely changed.

    Oh boy did you just hit a nerve! They are rude also the worst litterers in the world. Loud obnoxious and no manners. We were in Da Nang for 6 weeks. Thank god only a few were there. But you certainly knew it when they were there. To bad they are going to spoil it for everyone.

    Nha Trang was full of Russians back in 2011, when we were last there. We found them surly and arrogant, and it pissed us off that the restaurant menus were in Russian. I imagine there are a lot more of them now (Russians and menus in their language heh heh). I wouldn’t go back. Too much else to see in Vietnam.

    I had a similar negative experience in Sihanoukville in Cambodia. Lots of Russians and glorification of vodka and being abusive to others.
