From a cost of living CRISIS in the West to a Vietnam Paradise in Nha Trang – Vietnam’s Riviera.
After a ten-hour overnight train ride from Da Nang, we finally arrived in Nha Trang — Vietnam’s sunlit jewel of the south. Known as the Riviera of Vietnam, this coastal city blends ancient Cham history, French colonial charm, and modern-day beach life into something uniquely beautiful.
In this episode, we start with a peaceful sunrise — the kind of morning that feels timeless. Then, we dive into Nha Trang’s story: From the clean, palm-lined promenade to the scent of strong Vietnamese coffee drifting through side streets, this is a city that never forgets its connection to the ocean.
We explore local life, hidden hotels like the Azura Gold, and street food that proves you don’t have to spend much to eat like a king. You’ll see how Nha Trang’s warmer, drier climate contrasts with the monsoon rhythm of Da Nang — just 500 kilometres apart, yet worlds away in atmosphere.
