Rules in force · 5Drug trafficking can carry the death penalty in Singapore…
- Southeast Asia ↗Drug trafficking can carry the death penalty in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Brunei and Myanmar; never carry a bag or parcel for anyone.
- Southeast Asia ↗Carry a passport valid for at least six months from entry with two blank pages; airlines refuse boarding on less.
- Vietnam ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal; lookalike sites charge extra.
- Vietnam ↗Crossing streets: walk slowly and steadily; motorbikes flow around you — do not stop or run.
- Vietnam ↗Carry Vietnamese đồng in small notes; many stalls and taxis are cash-only.
Nha Trang is Vietnam's largest beach resort: a 6 km city beach backed by hotel towers, islands in the bay, Cham towers on the river and a cable car to an island theme park. It suits travellers who want restaurants, dive shops and nightlife around the beach. Autumn storms and a rough sea from October to December change it completely.

Where to sleep
Trần Phú beach road
Sea views, towers, walk to everything.
Streets behind the beach (Biệt Thự, Hùng Vương)
Cheaper hotels and restaurants, 5 min to the sand.
Getting around
Walk the beach road; ride-hailing for Po Nagar, the mud baths and the port. Boat trips and dive shops pick up from hotels.
