which is located 6 km from Phan Thiet. Mui Ne is a kind of 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 across the street from almost all hotels in the city.

Mui Ne also attracts by the fact that there are 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 a concrete fence.

Very often, the sea comes under the very edge of this concrete fence, which is why the beach is not visible at all, and you immediately go down into the sea from this concrete fence.

The most interesting things to see nearby are Ta Ku mountain, sand dunes.

Today I will briefly tell you about the resort cities in Vietnam. I am a photographer, living in Vietnam all winter and already well versed in local geography. By the way, I'll be glad to capture your happy moments on vacation;) But now it's not about that.

Going on vacation to Vietnam, many are faced with the question - which city to choose? Therefore, I will briefly talk about two resort areas in Vietnam that are so popular with Russian tourists. Why about two, because there are three cities? In fact Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are very close to each other.. As proof, a screenshot from Google maps (on the right). In fact, Phan Thiet or, as it is correctly written, Phan Thiet is a city, and Mui Ne is a fishing village. tourist area with hotels and beaches is located along the coast of Mui Ne Beach between these settlements. Below I will try to highlight the positive and negative features of each resort.

Holidays in Nha Trang pros and cons.

Nha Trang is the center of tourism in Vietnam. The city is located in the south-central part of the country and is the capital of Khanh Hoa Province. About 400 thousand people permanently live in Nha Trang. It has everything that a tourist could possibly need! But people who love silence may lack solitude and peace.

Pros of Nha Trang:

  • The airport is an hour's drive from the city, direct flights from different cities Russia.
  • Developed infrastructure:
    • many hotels with different levels prices.
    • bars and restaurants open 24/7.
    • supermarkets and shops - an opportunity to buy popular goods - clothes made from natural cotton, oriental ointments and cosmetics, bags and wallets made of crocodile, python skin, and more.
    • Cho Dam market - an opportunity to bargain for all kinds of goods.
    • transport for every taste - rental of mopeds, taxis and rickshaws, public transport, boats in the port.
  • A huge number of attractions and excursions:
    • mud and mineral springs Ai-resort (I-Resort) and Thap-ba (Thap Ba).
    • to the island of VinPerl - Asian Disneyland, where there is everything - cable car over the sea, water park, oceanarium, attractions, slot machines, singing fountains, dolphin shows and much more!
    • to the south and northern islands with stunning white sandy beaches, the opportunity to try diving, fishing and catching tropical fish.
    • ancient temples and pagodas and even a catholic cathedral.
  • There will be no problems with the language - there are many Russians here, and the Vietnamese already often speak Russian.

Cons of Nha Trang:

  • Dirty city beach. If you live in Nha Trang itself, then the sea will not please you. Unpleasant dirty sand, sometimes a strong wave and quite quickly depth. The beach is not suitable for swimming with children. In Nha Trang, you can swim without worries only by staying in hotels on the islands (which is quite expensive) or by purchasing a day trip to the islands.
  • The bustle of the big city. Do you dream of leisurely quiet rest? It is unlikely that Nha Trang will suit you. After all, here is a big city with the noise of the streets and music in the bars until the morning. Not everyone wants to relax like this.

Holidays in Mui Ne - Phan Thiet pros and cons.

Phan Thiet is pretty Big City in the south of Vietnam with a population of about 350 thousand people, but completely non-tourist, there are no beaches and hotels. When they talk about the resort of Phan Thiet, they still mean Mui Ne Beach - a zone of hotels and beaches not far from fishing village Mui Ne (Mui Ne or among the Russian population of Mui Ne and Muinevka). Between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet about 22 km. From Ho Chi Minh to Mui Ne about 200 km, from Nha Trang to Mui Ne about 230 km.

Pluses of Mui Ne / Phan Thiet:

  • Long and wide stripe sandy beach. The beach may not be clean and white everywhere, as winds and waves often drive garbage from the sea to the shore, but walking and relaxing on Mui Ne beach is definitely pleasant.
  • Most of the hotels are located right by the sea. There is also a second line with more cheap hotels but they are also very close to the sea.
  • There is a whole community here aquatic species sports - surfing, kiting, windsurfing. A variety of attractions on the water are also available for non-professionals.
  • A huge number of Russian population. Russian tourists have chosen this resort even before Nha Trang. You will be surprised by Russian signs and menus in Russian in the restaurant. And often the business owners are really Russians who moved to Vietnam in search of a more leisurely and comfortable life.
  • There are restaurants, bars, massage parlors and other establishments here. But from much less than in Nha Trang.
  • There are attractions:
    • In close proximity to Mui Ne there are Poshanu Cham Towers and Fairy Stream Red Creek.
    • If you go on a tour further from the city, you can see other places: the Ke Ga lighthouse, Mount Taku and the statue of the reclining Buddha, red and white dunes.

Cons of Mui Ne / Phan Thiet:

  • There is no airport here. Tourists usually fly to Ho Chi Minh Airport. In general, getting there is not difficult, and usually the flight and travel cost no more. more expensive than Nha Trang, but longer in time.
  • Tourists may complain that they are bored here. That there is nowhere to go with children, that in the evenings there is nothing to do but sit on the beach or in a restaurant. But can this be considered a minus if you consciously choose a quieter and more relaxing holiday?)
  • There is no cheap Asian shopping here. Of course you can buy in stores resort area souvenirs, as well as clothes and accessories, but the price will be higher.

Choose your holiday according to your preferences. By the way, tour operators have recently been offering combined tours when half of the vacation takes place in Mui Ne, and then also a few days in Nha Trang. Consider this possibility as well. And do not forget to save moments of happiness on vacation in photos, I will be happy to help you with this - write down the phone number! Photographer Natalia Samoilova +79520078888 (WhatApp).

What better Nha Trang or Phan Thiet, quite new resorts on Russian market tour industry, let's figure it out! So, what is there interesting, where to go to rest in Vietnam? Today we will talk, perhaps, about the two most popular resort Vietnam under the name Phan Thiet and Nha Trang.

Previously, very often we heard that many vacationed in Thailand. Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui - the resorts have long been familiar, everyone has heard of them. Every year, more and more often, one hears: “And we were on vacation in Vietnam!”.

So, let's start getting enlightened. Where do tourists go to rest in Vietnam? What to choose Phan Thiet or Nha Trang? Both resorts are located on the coast South China Sea, the distance from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet is on average about 200-250 km. At first glance it seems to be very close, so significant difference no, but that's not entirely true.

Beaches


Firstly, Nha Trang is a city where one of the the best beaches. Most of the hotels are built in the city center, no matter how "star" the hotel has, the beach is across the road.

Phan Thiet is also a city, only the sea itself and the hotels are not located in Phan Thiet itself, but, as it were, on the outskirts of the city, closer to the village of Mui Ne. Therefore, holidays in Phan Thiet and Mui Ne are one and the same. And the rest here is more calm, homely.


This is where the main thing lies. difference between Nha Trang and Phan Thiet! In the last 90% of hotels it is on the first line, you go to the sea through the hotel, without crossing the road!

In general, crossing the road in Nha Trang is not particularly annoying. And when you are lying on the beach, the noise of the road does not really distract from relaxation, as the wind blowing from the sea takes away all the din from the beach. But during the day, merchants scurry around (a little, but still), locals swim (since the beaches in Vietnam are municipal throughout the territory, but simply common!), In the evening, there is nowhere for an apple to fall on the beach, as the locals rest there, arrange gatherings etc. At sunset, the promenade, on which the beach is located, is illuminated by lanterns.

In Phan Thiet, things are different. The beaches are also public, but due to the fact that they are far from the road, in the evening, except for tourists and hotel security guards, you will not meet anyone there. You can safely sit on the sun loungers or in the restaurant at the hotel overlooking the sea!


During the day in Nha Trang there are a lot of locals on the beach, in Phan Thiet you rarely see locals on the beach, only tourists walking along the sea.

And in Phan Thiet, and in Nha Trang, almost every hotel offers its guests free sunbeds, towels and umbrellas.

We have been in Nha Trang and Phan Thiet, so I can objectively say that, of course, Phan Thiet is cheaper, but not much, by 5-7% maximum. And prices largely depend on where you eat. If you choose by price, then there is no significant difference.

Fish and seafood

Perhaps, citizens from all over the world go to Vietnam to try the gifts of the sea, rivers and lakes and other inhabitants of our planet. Here they eat everything that swims, runs, jumps, etc.

The range of all sorts of goodies is rich in both Phan Thiet and Nha Trang. But there are some differences, for example, in Nha Trang I did not see scorpions on the menu, and in Phan Thiet there is no beloved sea grape!

Excursions

By and large, you will not be bored either there or there, there is where to see and go. The only advantage Nha Trang has is only because it is located there winpearl island, where you can go even every day and not get bored.

Entertainment and night life

The Vietnamese are such a people that they go to bed early and get up early. It is customary for them to lay down on the side at about 22.00-23.00 and get up at 5 in the morning. Such a way of life. Therefore, the nightlife is not very stormy, but still there.

Here Nha Trang wins, as there are more than 2 times more places for those who like to dance at night or eat. But in Phan Thiet, there are 2-3 places where you can go at 3 am if you don’t sleep. And, by the way, in Phan Thiet, although there are fewer nightly entertainments, all the establishments are located right on the seashore! So you dance, and even through the loud music you can hear the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze is pleasantly refreshing.
