I was going to skip the beach / tourist city, Nha Trang — but I’m glad I stopped over for 1 night.

It’s very inexpensive. AND tourist friendly.

After visiting the beach for about 20 minutes, I had a DAY.

• Monkey Island
• Mud Bath
• Gourmet Barbecue Buffet

Local cuisine is most famous for fresh seafood and barbecued pork rolled in rice paper.

I tried a buffet which offered a LOT of meat, fish, and seafood at very low price.

I was convinced to sit down by the small grill in every table.

Cook up what you want. Pork bellies were my favourite.

I added much of what I cooked to my personal Pho. Keeping everything hot.

Nha Trang in 2025 is overfull with overweight Russian men with wife / mistress. Many signs include Russian and some businesses provide tourist services mainly for the Russians.

Unwelcome in many nations, in 2025 Russians are vacationing in Turkey, Thailand, China, the UAE, and Vietnam.

This city is very popular with Koreans, as well.

BEST time to walk the beach is early morning or in the evening.
