Therefore, from Nha Trang it is closest and relatively quickest to get to the southern cities.

Main routes in the south of Vietnam:

• Nha Trang – Phan Rang – Mui Ne – Phan Thiet
• Nha Trang - Saigon - Mekong - o. Phu Quoc – Cambodia
• Nha Trang – Saigon – Cambodia
• Nha Trang – Saigon – Malaysia – Singapore – Indonesia

Route Nha Trang – Phan Rang – Mui Ne – Phan Thiet

The simplest and shortest route from Nha Trang towards Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is a trip from Nha Trang to Phan Rang or Mui Ne and Phan Thiet.

Nha Trang – Phan Rang

Phan Rang is a small town located about 100 km from Nha Trang. Tourists come to this city primarily for a beach holiday.

There are several hotels in the city that fully satisfy the needs of tourists.

The most interesting places are the central square with a historical museum and a monastery on a hill called Truc Lam Vien Ngo Zen.

A trip to the salt fields nearby the city will probably be interesting. 400 hectares are allocated for salt extraction.

The largest salt production is controlled by our compatriots.

Otherwise, there is nothing to do in Phan Rang except the beach and walking. The main conditional advantage of Phan Rang over Nha Trang is said to be relatively less rain and a calmer sea.

In fact, this is very conditional and not always the case. And given the fact that Phan Rang has less entertainment compared to Nha Trang, Phan Rang is not the best place for people who are inclined to travel.

Nha Trang – Mui Ne – Phan Thiet

For many compatriots, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are inseparable points, but there is a difference between them.

Phan Thiet is a city vaguely reminiscent of Nha Trang, but simpler (more boring). Mui Ne is a district of Phan Thiet,

which is 6 km from Phan Thiet. Mui Ne is a quaint village with one main street where all the restaurants, shops and hotels are located.

Why do they go to Phan Thiet and Mui Ne, and not to Nha Trang? The answer lies in the fact that in Mui Ne compared to Nha Trang,

there are hotels on the first line of the sea. As you know, in Nha Trang the beach is located across the road from almost all the hotels in the city.

Mui Ne is also attractive because it has excellent conditions for different types of surfing. That is, there are good winds and waves for this sport.

But there is also a minus for hotels on the first line. Due to strong waves, most hotels have concrete fencing.

Very often the sea approaches the very edge of this concrete fence, which is why the beach is completely invisible, and you descend straight into the sea from this concrete fence.

The most interesting things to see nearby: Mount Ta Ku, sand dunes.

The Mekong Delta is a vast area in the south of Vietnam, which is penetrated by a network of canals and branches of the Mekong River.

This area is home to the bulk of the population and produces the largest number of crops in Vietnam.

• Kanto (Can Tho) – for two or more day trips along the Mekong from Ho Chi Minh City
• Chau Doc – for boat trips on the Mekong to Cambodia.

The Vietnamese resorts of Nha Trang and Phan Thiet (Mui Ne resort area) are without a doubt the most popular and visited places in Vietnam, especially among Russians. This is not surprising, because both resorts have good beaches and well-developed infrastructure. Prices for both package tours and costs for a self-organized trip to one or another resort are approximately the same. There is only one problem left - choosing the right one for yourself if it is not possible to visit both in one trip. Below we have tried to objectively compare these two places to make it easier for you to decide. But first, some brief information about these resorts in a few sentences:
Nha Trang. This is a fairly large city, by Vietnamese standards, and the capital of the province. It is located in the south of central Vietnam, so it is simultaneously classified as both southern and central Vietnam. The city has a well-developed infrastructure: many hotels, restaurants, cafes, shops. There is a compact tourist area with a large number of hotels. There are many attractions and entertainments in the city and nearby. The beach is mainly within the city limits, but there are also beaches further away from the city, where they also have their own hotels.
Detailed information for tourists about Nha Trang is here.
Phan Thiet. The city of Phan Thiet is located in the southern part of Vietnam. This is also a fairly large city. But the city itself is of little interest to tourists, since there are no beaches there. The bulk of tourists go on holiday in the resort area of ​​Mui Ne, which belongs to Phan Thiet. This area stretches along the beaches in the form of a long chain of hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops. Local residents hardly live in this area; almost everything there is built for tourism and comfortable recreation. There are no attractions in the resort area itself, but in the surrounding area there are several interesting places (quite far away) where you can go with a tour or on your own.
The distance between Phan Thiet and Nha Trang is 230 kilometers.
Where are the best beaches?
In both resorts, the beaches are considered to be of good quality (but far from ideal). Don't expect a bounty-style beach from any of these places: they are far from it.
Nha Trang is a fairly large city, and its main beach lies within the city limits. It is long, the sandy coastline is quite wide. It can be called clean only with a big stretch, although the beach is cleaned and tidied up. On the beach there are sun loungers for rent, some standard water activities in the form of a banana boat, a parachute, and jet skis. In addition to the city beach, there are several beaches with hotels remote from the city. They are cleaner, but there is no infrastructure there.
Phan Thiet There are no beaches at all in the city of Phan Thiet. The resort area of ​​Mui Ne stretches along the beaches for almost 10 kilometers. Along its entire length, the quality of beaches varies greatly. In some rare places there is no sandy beach at all, but instead a reinforced concrete descent into the water, so choose your hotel in Phan Thiet carefully so that you don’t have to walk far to the nearest sandy beach. Also, the cleanliness and quality of the beaches here greatly depend on the season: in the low season, the beaches are less cleaned, and strong winds and waves bring a lot of garbage. Large waves make the beaches in Mui Ne sometimes simply unsuitable for swimming, but ideal for surfers and kiters.
There are several more beaches (resort areas) to the south of Phan Thiet. These beaches are considered cleaner because expensive hotels are located here and are constantly cleaned. But the atmosphere here is almost rural; there is no infrastructure outside the hotels.
