I got very badly bitten by mosquitos in Nha Trang at the Sailing club. I was covered from head to foot in Neet Deet and still they made a meal out of me biting me about 20 times. Theres a very low risk of malaria there but still it made the rest of my stay in Vietnam quite uncomfortable. Leave a Comment Website: http://black-saturn.tripod.com/vietnamholidayvacation

Be careful on the beach at night. Not that you are in much physical danger but as one party going Norweigan found out, if you pass out drunk on the beach, you are likely to wake up sans cash and wallet!
Just exercise common sense. Leave a Comment

As with any other city, don't take any taxis right at the train station. They will overcharge you 5 times the normal rate. Just walk down a few blocks and catch a taxi on the street. Don't negotiate any price, just point to the meter and tell them to turn it on. From my experience, the meters that sit at the top of the dashboard (as opposed to down low in the middle where the radio is) tend to be legit. From the train station to our hotel in the centre (Green Hotel), it only cost 14,000 dong.

At the pagoda, school girls will befriend you. They said not to worry, as they were not tour guides. They were just as bad. After linking arms with me, and i thought, enjoying our time together, came the hard sell. They wanted me to buy silk paintings for 200,000dong each. In Hue, I paid 32,000dong for 3 of these silk paintings, very overpriced. When i wouldn't buy, not even at the reduced price of 50,000 each, (I didn't want anymore) the scene changed.
The friendlinest went, evidently a put on. I offered a donation, which finally, was ungraciously accepted. You would think it better to accept any amount and to behave nicely.

Being by the sea Nha Trang feels relatively cool compared to other towns and cities in Vietnam. Make sure you put on lots of sunblock!
I got burnt on the first day and had to spend a few days laying by the pool covered in a sarong! Leave a Comment

I find Nha Trang is not a very save place to stay. I heard nasty stories from robberies to belongings going missing from hotel rooms and prostitution. In general, the crime rate in this town is also quite high. If you are travelling alone, just be more careful when are you in this place.
