Fun in the sun in Nha Trang
... be Spain. Its packed at the moment with foreigners and Vietnamese on their summer holidays. There is a long sandy beach, but as Nha Trang is a city, the beach is quite dirty in places, restaurants and cafes line the beachfront and all of the roads off ...
Easy Riders
Imagine the gold coast in Australia, perhaps Surfers Paradise and you will get an idea of Nha Trang. We stayed in a family run GH called Pheung Lan. They are very nice peoplethere. There are lots of bars and decent resturants here (try Cappacino, cheap ...
A Stop Along the Coast
With Hoi An our next destination of choice, Nha Trang was primarily just a stop along the coast to break up the long travel days. Actually in quite a beautiful setting with islands just off the coast and white sand beaches, it's a preferred destination ...
Beach Babies.. Again..
Greetings once again, this time from Nha Trang or as we came to know it; Vietnam's Surfers Paradise. This place was scarily reminiscent of Surfers Paradise. From the multi lane road running along the beach front which meant a death defying sprint for a ...
Long Day Train Journey
... had to go to Danang because that is where we had to catch our very long 11 hour train to Nha Trang in the southern regions of Vietnam. Normally I can handle uncomfortable situations but this one was hideous. Everything about the trip was awful. It ...
The Crash
... really, in a strange sort way. So there we all were, standing on the side of this highway in central Vietnam at 5am, about 3 hours from Nha Trang. The worst part, probably even worse than the crash itself, was how the Vietnamese bus staff members handled ...
No baby no problem
... such not really my cup of tea. But the diving was nice, so it made it a worthwhile stop. The other "must do" in Nha Trang is the famous island-hopping boat tour. A bunch of places sell tickets, but you all seem to get thrown on the same ...
Nah Trang - Long Thanh - Photographer
... alike abound but it was not the high season, nor particularly good weather while we were there. The best thing about our time in Nha Trang was getting to meet and view the work of Long Thanh, one of the most gifted photographers I've ever seen. This ...
Day out in Nha Trang
... to look a bit worn now. The restaurant, called the Sailing Club, is situated on the beach front to the south of Nha Trang. The restaurant served spectacular meals at very low prices. The ambience of the restaurant made it a welcome retreat from some ...
Nha Trang
Hello all. We left Hoi An at 11.40am yesterday (thurs) and headed by train to Nha Trang, about 10 hours further south. So far we have done Vinh, Danang, China beach (locally known as marble moutain), Hoi An and now Nha Trang. It is on the coast, is ...
Nha Trang - The hunt for shorts......
... we had been cheated out of some sun, sea and sand in rainy Sri Lanka (feels like years ago!) we head over to Nha Trang on the coast of Vietnam for some beach action. Eight hours on a train and nearly 60 games of sh*thead later (no joke), ...
Whizzing round SE Vietnam

Heading south
... ). We also visited My Son - ancient Cham ruins dating to the 4th century (also world heritage listed - as is the town of Hoi An). Have now arrived in Nha Trang for some diving before continuing south for more 'clean' city air in Saigon/Ho Chi ...
Life's a beach and then you dive
... and our 10 hours echoed with their coughs rattles and hawks, as the younger generation puffed away in a rush to catch up with them. Nha Trang itself is first and foremost a beach resort. There is a large arcing bay with a good few miles of sand that ...
Why does it always rain on me?
Woke this morning to a torrential downpour. After some quick breakfast we made a dash to an Internet cafe to seek shelter. Didn't look like I'd be getting any beach time today and I just can't escape this damn rain! After a few hours watching TV in ...

"I'm Still Standing"....I'm still not. Like a drug addict, I was entering cold turkey through lack of endorphins. To address this problem I suggested to Polly that we should go out for a jog. She agreed that a little exercise on our second rest day ...
Nha Trang beach time at last
... the most of his free bevvy and gets more reeking than all of us - dont know how he manges to play and get so drunk haha. Nha Trang is very touristy and is full of backpackers - great place to meet other people, get drunk and laze on the beach. Next stop ...
In search of the tiny seahorse

Paradise City
... , and took an immediate liking to the place. Hard to explain in words, but it was just nice. Tonight, I made my first venture to Nha Trang Sailing Club, which would turn out to be my second home for the next week. This is the one place in Nha Trang ...
No Mama Hahn
... , but this time, I was not charged entry fees. It was fun the second time around, but Mama Hahn was calling me, so we left for Nha Trang All I can say is that I am very disappointed. Mama Hahn has been arrested. That is all I have to say about Nha ...
Nha Trang
... no idea what I saw (apart from a starfish - I could tell that one because it was shaped like a star) but everything was gorgeous. Nha Trang is a bigger place than I had imagined but we seem to have hit it during a quiet period. Whether this is due to ...

Nha Thanks
... ! however on arrival we were a tad disappointed as Nha Trang appeared to be large seaside town but a little characterless. Apparently Nha Trang is where all the Vietnamese come for their holiday. The nicest part for us was the swanky Sailing Club, which ...
Tacksville on a stick
Today I decided to get a haircut, the first one since leaving home, It was longer than I normally liked it, due to the fact that it had grown! The hairdresser spoke little English; her blank look was all I found, So I requested a number 3 all over and ...
Bye Bye Liver

Vietnamese pizza and island hopping
One can't stay at a secluded beach paradise forever, so we moved on to the party beach, Nha Trang, which is Vietnam's version of Phuket. We'd got in conversation with a couple of Swedish guys on the bus so we all hopped off together, planning to stay at ...
Beach capital of Vietnam
Nha Trang, Vietnam - We were heading to our first beach stop! There's nothing quite like walking into the sea, Daniel Craig esque, after weeks of sweat, mud, heat, humidity and buses and trains! Speaking of buses, we had an odd one for the ride to Nha ...
Advanced Scuba Diving
... mixed fruit and coffee for $1, we just brought the condensed milk (now a staple in my diet) and it was a feast. Our goal in Nha Trang was either some serious beach time or go up a level in diving. After spending the day quizzing almost every dive shop in ...
