Advantages: The sites and culture Disadvantages: My two days of food poisoning
I went to Nha Trang feeling a little bit out of the ordinary as I am half-American and have a very broad American accent. However, I had nothing to fear. As I was flying over Nha Trang looking out of the window I saw some of the most beautiful sites, that I think I will ever see in my life. Nha Trang is located on the coast of Vietnam and has a number of small islands surrounding it. These are alive with trees, and animals of all kinds. Hotels: The ... ...Restaurants: In Nha Trang there are a number of different types of restaurants local and foreign. I would say a word to the wise that you will probably get some upset stomachs if you eat at local restaurants, this is not a definite but you are at risk, however I do recommend that you do eat at the local restaurants at some point in your stay, as you can sample the lovely Vietnam's food which is spicy and very good. I recommend the Noodle Soup of ...

Advantages: clean beaches with white sands Disadvantages: High rises, over-development
Nha Trang is located on the south central Vietnam coast and is one of the country's largest and best known beach resorts-for foreign and domestic tourists alike. However, whilst the beaches are still beautiful strips of white sand unfortunately the town has given into large scale development and can feel like any other international beach resort with high rises running along the coastal front. Reaching Nha Trang is simple with a domestic airport ... ...the high concentration of tourists, Nha Trang has become quite dangerous. Theft and pickpocketing are very common so always be careful of your belongings particularly on the beaches. There are also numerous scams (a common one being pretty girls enticing men into bars where they are robbed or forced to pay ridiculous prices for a beer) and moto drivers taking tourists home after a night out have been known to drive into a set up where the tourist ...

Advantages: Easy to get to from Saigon, plenty to do, cheap scuba diving, cheaper than HCMC Disadvantages: Long bus ride from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City
...place I wanted to visit: Nha Trang. From what the internet and my Lonely Planet were telling me, it seemed like a pretty fun coastal town with plenty of things to do. As the bus journey from Ho Chi Minh City takes around 10 hours, I decided to take the sleeper bus overnight. This was a pretty good decision, as I know it would have been hard to hack such a long journey sitting upright! The beds weren't exactly comfortable though- maybe if you're a ... ...prices! I arrived in Nha Trang in the early hours of the morning, after surviving the night thanks to my MP3 player and an eye mask. My first impressions were good; it looked beautiful. After trying my hardest to avoid the touts and hotel owners the bus driver dropped us off in front of, I managed to find a nice place to stay- Nice Hotel, which really was quite nice. My friend and I shared a decent sized room with an en-suite and two double beds ...

Advantages: Beatiful coastline and great beaches Disadvantages: Some petty thieving on beaches
...We spent two nights in Nha Trang on the way up.
After an 8 hour bus ride from Ho Chi Minh City we arrived in Nha Trang and found a hotel that cost ony $5 a night between us, so it was the cheapest hotel we found all trip.
At first we were quite wary of people because we had read that Nha Trang was quite a dodgy place for street crime, but we had no problems at all.
To get around in Nha Trang you have two choices, the back of a motorbike, or on ... ...highlight of my stay in Nha Trang was a boat trip we took. It took us out to the surrounding islands. We swum in the sea which was really warm, and we had a seafood buffet for lunch which was really great. I think for the whole day, it cost about $10US, which is great value, and there are several companies which offer these trips.
Other sites include a huge statue of Buddha which overlooks the town. There are a lot of stairs to climb to the top ...

...I spent 3 days in Nha Trang including Christmas Eve. This was a good city but lacked the charm of Hoi An - the next city to the north.
One place I would recommend is the Sailing Club. This is along the beech to the east and cant be missed.
I found crime to be more rife than most coastal towns, perhaps it was just Christmas but I got my wallet pickpocketed. My advise is to only take out what you will spend or can afford to loose.
I would spend ...
