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.

They are nowadays banned on many locations around the world.
All the Russians were not as friendly as European or the North Americans. We met them at the elevators and they had stone faces.
My gf and I really didn’t like Nha Trang either. Idk why. The hotel wasn’t great and that was already a bad start. The seafood was pretty great though. My gf (who is from Vietnam) said we’re not going back there 😂 But maybe we give it another chance in some years. Just for the food 🤭
The locals Vietnamese had enough of Russian. They are protested to local government to kick those unlawful & harass the locals out of the country
Worst lot. They aren’t needed in my country.
It WAS my favourite place not now same reason.
I had this experience in Nha Trang. Also in Sri Lanka.
Agree. Same in Phuket, Koh Samui. And Danang is a similar vibe.
My husband and I love Vietnam – been 4 times now ! But I tell everyone I can, do not go near Nha Trang !!!! OMG ! I wanted to leave the first night we were there ! Was a very scary place – used syringes on the beach and what seemed like the Russian Mafia all around us ! Massive screaming matches in Russian in the room next to us ! The airport itself was brand new with international flights only to Russia ! That says everything !
I noticed this too. I am curious, does anyone have insight on why the Russians dominate the Nha Trang tourist industry?
