Hot weekend in Nha Trang

by admin | post a comment

Tired of seeing the busy streets of Saigon, I took a nine-hour bus ride out of the city to spend a weekend in Nha Trang.

Nha Trang is a village, with long stretches of beach within the town proper where tourists and locals alike can relax sunbathing, if not swimming.

Along the beaches are scattered cottages put up by tourism related establishments, which allow individuals to feel protected from the sun while sleeping in the open.

To add adventure to a stay at the beach, one can parasail or listen to the parasailers scream as they fly 100 to 200 feet above the sea.

As the heat of the day gives way to sultry night, I can't help but start thinking of the places yet to be explored and the activities to be experienced in the company of friends.

There are western and local restaurants serving spicy and sumptuous meals at affordable prices on Tran Quang Khai and Hung Vuong streets. Also, for budget travelers, food stalls can be found everywhere offering local foods served in typical Vietnamese style.

From restaurants and food stalls, Nha Trang's various bars that serve cold beer and different fusions of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are just the trendy places to hang around as we cool our dry throats.

Chilling out at the rooftop bar of Ha Vvan Hotel is perfect for tourists who want to see the entire city while sipping its cold beer.

If you want to play your own music while playing pool or sitting at a table with your choice of cocktail, there's the Red Sun bar on Nguyen Thien Thuat street.

Saturday night in Nha Trang is not complete without taking your shoes off and dancing on the sand to Sailing Club's Saturday night fever disco on the beach.

The party night beach experience at Sailing Club made me tick my calendar on Saturday, so I'll be there when the music drums next time.

Come and join me, enjoy the bonus of getting tan and spend a hot weekend in Nha Trang.
