Where to go - Nha Trang or Phan Thiet (Mui Ne)
The Vietnamese resorts of Nha Trang and Phan Thiet (Mui Ne resort area) are undoubtedly 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 the costs of an independently organized trip to one or another resort are approximately the same. There is only one problem left - to choose the right one for yourself, if there is no opportunity to visit both in one trip. Below we have tried to objectively compare these two places, so that it would be easier for you to decide. But first, 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 considered 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 entertainment in and around the city. The beach is mainly within the city limits, but there are also beaches away from the city, where there are also hotels.

Phan Thiet
The city of Phan Thiet is located in the southern part of Vietnam. It is also quite a large city. But for tourists the city itself is of little interest, since there are no beaches there. The bulk of tourists settle for rest 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 almost do not live in this area, almost everything there is built for tourism and comfortable rest. There are no attractions in the resort area itself, but in the vicinity there are several interesting places (quite far away), where you can get with an excursion or on your own.
