Major city · Vietnam
Nha Trang
Choose Nha Trang for an easy, busy beach city with island boat trips and diving, two to three nights between February and August; it is built-up, so pick Quy Nhơn for quiet.

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.
