Advantages: Beatiful coastline and great beaches Disadvantages: Some petty thieving on beaches
...It was about two years ago now when I went to Vietnam with a friend as part of my year out. We spent three weeks there traveling from Ho Chi Minh up the coast to Hanoi. We spent two nights in NhaTrang on the way up.
After an 8 hour bus ride from Ho Chi Minh City we arrived in NhaTrang 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 NhaTrang was quite a dodgy place for street crime, but we had no problems at all.
To get around in NhaTrang you have two choices, the back of a motorbike, or on a cyclo. Cyclos are cheaper but motobikes get you around quicker, and can go further afield. The prices you could expect to pay when I was there was about 10000 dong which was about 50p for a short trip. You could probably do...

...On a month in Vietnam and cambodia I spent 3 days in NhaTrang 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.

NhaTrang 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 Hotels in NhaTrang vary from what you are looking for. If you want something that is very cheap and some where just to sleep then you can get rooms for 2 dollars a night, sorry but most things are paid for in dollars so if I refure to them a lot I am sorry as it is what I paid in.
You are also able to get hotels, which are a little more expensive around25 dollars a night and these are...
