From Nha Trang to Phan Thiet on your own. How to get from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Phan Rang - Mui Ne - Phan Thiet - Mekong - about
In this post, I will talk about transport from Nha Trang to Mui Ne or Phan Thiet (it is located 5 kilometers away), about my experience of traveling on Vietnamese sleeperbuses (bus with a sleeper), and share information where to buy cheap tickets for this miracle (bus) .
I will also tell you about more comfortable ways to independently move from the resort capital of Vietnam to Phan Thiet and Mui Ne. Sometimes it is much more profitable, and 1000 times more convenient, not to go by bus, but first things first.
If after reading you still have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments. I will definitely answer your every question.
Distance from Nha Trang to Mui Ne (to Phan Thiet), how long to go
The distance from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is displayed on this map, it shows the route of the trip. Google helpfully drew us two routes, one straight to Mui Ne, and the second through Dalat. If you have free time, then be sure to look into this mountain town.
You can get to Dalat either on your own by bus, or buy a group tour (exact cost at the link). Read about the TOP Nha Trang tours in my detailed post.
Google maps says that the distance from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is a little more than 200 kilometers, in fact, there are about 250 kilometers. But this is not so important if you are driving on public transport and not on a motorcycle or moped. Some of my friends overcame this path on a moped, after which everyone was dissuaded from such a trip. :)
It is not so important that there are only 250 kilometers between Nha Trang and Phan Thiet, and it seems that it can be overcome in just 3 hours. In Vietnam, the bus will travel 250 kilometers in 6 hours. This is probably due to the speed limit on the roads, but you should also take into account the time for stops and a possible lunch break (approximately in the middle of the trip).
Between the specified Vietnamese cities there are railway communication, but the train does not travel much faster, the fastest will take you to Phan Thiet in 4 hours.
If you choose a taxi, you can get there in 3 hours, this is perhaps the fastest way, it is also the most expensive.
Transport between Nha Trang and Mui Ne, prices, travel time and comfort level
In this part of the post I will tell you about the main types of transport that you can use during independent travel between Nha Trang and Mui Ne.
View | Price | Travel time |
---|---|---|
Bus (book in advance) | up to 10$ | 5 o'clock |
A train | from 10$ | 4 hours |
Transfer (taxi) | from 100$ | 3 hours |
Buses from Nha Trang to Mui Ne
The most convenient and cheapest way to get from the beaches of Nha Trang to the windsurfing mecca of Mui Ne is by bus. There is also a train service, but trains come to Phan Thiet (address of the railway station in Phan Thiet: ga Phan Thiết Phong Nẫm), which is five kilometers from the tourist village of Mui Ne. you need to understand first what locality you need.
Important! In high tourist season, tickets should be ordered in advance (at least a week in advance), there are a lot of people who want to leave, and there are a limited number of tickets and seats on the bus. If there are no free tickets for the date of interest, then try playing around with the dates.
Buying a bus ticket is very simple, here is a Russified site, where you can buy tickets for Vietnamese buses and trains. The prices are cheap, even with a small commission, but there is one trick, without knowing this one you can not find the tickets you need.
You should enter the names of cities in Latin, and this despite the fact that the site is completely Russified. If you enter the name of the cities in Russian, then the site will display a message: “We did not find anything similar,” but it’s worth typing in Latin and everything will be found right away.
- Nha Trang is Nha Trang;
- Phan Thiet - Phan Thiet;
- Mui Ne - Mui Ne;
- Dalat - Dalat.
The price of a ticket for a bus with berths along the Nha Trang Mui Ne route is approximately $10. This is the most cheap transport, cheaper only by hitchhiking.
Pay attention to this photo, it has all the answers to your questions. For example, we select the point of departure Nha Trang Hanh Cafe, and the destination Mui Ne Hanh Cafe. This means we are going by bus from Nha Trang to Mui Ne and Hanh Cafe is the name bus company, so he will bring the bus to his office.
If the site didn’t work out, then go to any travel office in Nha Trang and say a simple phrase “to Mui Ne pliz, one ticket”. If you are too lazy to go anywhere, then in hotels and guesthouses tickets for local buses are ordered directly at the reception, the overpayment will be minimal.
Several bus offices were discovered in Nha Trang:
- The Sinh Tourist - website thesinhtourist.vn - location in Nha Trang at 90C Hung Vuong St.;
- Hanh Café - website hanhcafe.vn, located in Nha Trang at 10 Hung Vuong Street;
- Phuong Trang (or FUTABuslines) - website futabuslines.com.vn, located in Nha Trang at 7 Hoàng Hoa Thám.
Features of Vietnamese buses
Vietnam has its own transport features that you should get used to and do not resist, then your trip will be interesting and comfortable. Read this section of the post carefully, and you will have no questions left. In fact, local buses are a very convenient invention, especially sleeper basses. I try to move on them.
Sleeper bass or seated
When buying a bus ticket, you should take into account the features of the Vietnamese buses, namely what kind of seats it is equipped with (seated or sleeping).
- Sitting Bus (Sitting Bass) - a common bus with seating;
- Sleeping Bus (Sliping Bass) is a very convenient invention of mankind with lying places, somewhat reminiscent of a railway carriage.
Bus departure point from Nha Trang
As a standard, the bus starts from the place where the office of the transport company is located, and not from the shop where the ticket was sold to you. In such cases, a transfer from the hotel to the bus itself can be arranged - this is standard for all resort towns almost all over the world, and so Nha Trang has its own rules. But with the transfer there may be overlays, read about it further.
Any train, in any country in the world, is much more comfortable than buses. Vietnam has Railway, but local trains connect only major cities. Thus, the route from Nha Trang to Mui Ne will lie through Phan Thiet. In addition, before railway station should be taken by taxi or bus. This is the only minus of local trains.
The price of the trip will depend on the train, on the speed of its movement, on the class of the car (there are cars with improved comfort) and on the time of day. You should focus on $ 15 for a trip from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet. You can buy a ticket on the above site, in the photo you can see what the names of the stations look like.
There are trains going directly to Phan Thiet (Ga Phan Thiết station), such trains will bring you to the city center. You can use the passing train, they make a stop at the Ga Mương Mán station nearest to Phan Thiet.
The main thing here is to understand whether the selected train stops at an intermediate station, or follows it in transit. In this case, the city is 10 kilometers away, which can be overcome by bus, taxi, or hitchhiking.
Taxi from Nha Trang to Mui Ne
If you are used to comfort and value your time, then the best option there will be a taxi ride. Taxi in Vietnam is common, but the service is very expensive. The price of a prepaid trip (I recommend this option) from Nha Trang to Mui Ne will cost you about $ 100, if you take a car on the streets, you can save a little (the difference will be $ 10-15), or you can run into a swindler (this is not uncommon in Vietnam) .
Particular care should be taken in major cities and on popular resorts. About how a local motorcycle taxi driver bred me, read the link.
If you order a taxi "from hand", then you should look very carefully at the money that you give to the driver, and what he returns to you in the form of change (this is one of the crown taxi driver scams). Here I described the main tricks of taxi drivers with Vietnamese money, which the locals are willing to use against foreigners.
As I said earlier, taxi prices in Vietnam cannot be called low, even in comparison with Moscow and St. Petersburg. Local carriers charge for boarding, for dropping off, for waiting, for luggage, and God knows what else. Add to that the opportunity to be "warmed up" with surrender.
Considering all of the above, especially if the trip is long, then I recommend ordering a prepaid transfer (via the price link). In this case, you reduce the risk of payment to zero, since payment is made on the site. If the trip tripled you, then you can give the driver a tip, but he has no right to take any additional money from you.
If the trip is short, then you can take the car anywhere, but you should remember my warnings.
My experience of traveling by bus from Nha Trang to Mui Ne
The next morning at the appointed time, of course, there was no transfer, on hand was a receipt with payment and a phone number. I call from the reception at the specified number, they answer me that they say it is impossible to understand, I hand the phone to the hostess of the guesthouse.
After a calm conversation between the hostess of the guest house and the representative of the bus company (I think so), I understand that everything will be ok. I am sitting, worrying, watching the awakening outskirts of the Vietnamese resort town. Five minutes later, a shabby minivan arrives with the same driver, we rush through the streets of Nha Trang on this trough as if we are trying to escape from napalm. Wow, looks like we did it.
When buying a ticket, no information about the class of the bus was reported, and it’s good that there wasn’t. In front of me is a brand new air-conditioned sleeper for 140,000 dong.
In the passenger compartment of the bus there are 3 longitudinal rows of reclining recumbent seats, but the chairs are still not fully folded out, but a small angle remains, so it cannot be called a true sleeper, but the thing is very convenient. The arrangement of the seat-beds is as follows: 2 rows on two sides at the windows of the bus, and one in the center, on the second tier as well.
There is a warm blanket and a pillow at each seat, the blanket was very useful, during the trip the air conditioner worked, so I asked the carrier to turn it off, no one was going to turn off the air conditioner, and I pulled another blanket from the next empty chair and the long-awaited happiness came. The sleeper bass bed is designed in such a way that you can put your things at your feet, my small 20 liter backpack fits perfectly there.
The bus belatedly sailed from Nha Trang and sailed through the expanses of Vietnam. Some people always admire Vietnamese views, even if only garbage can be seen from the window, I will not argue that Vietnamese roads are very picturesque in places, but the road from Nha Trang to Mui Ne seemed insipid to me. First the industrial outskirts of Nha Trang, after the rice fields, then the villages and so on.
The route goes along the sea no more than 10% of the way, so it’s not very picturesque, specifying that Mui Ne is the end station of the bass, I fall asleep, but soon they wake me up and offer to use a 20-minute stop, which is very handy, if it’s three sleeper bass, but limbs are still swollen.
I consider an intermediate stop just for visiting the toilet, since the bus stop is not long and ordering food, and then hastily ramming it into yourself is a thankless task.
If I had known earlier that Mui Ne could be reached by sleeper, I would have traveled by night bus, and I would have saved the budget for the hotel and would have slept on the road.
An airport is a place where a person arrives on a new land for himself. When choosing a tour to a country of interest, they first of all look at the flights departing there, evaluate the distance from the hotel and other subtleties.
Vietnam international airports on the map

How long does it take to get to Nha Trang?
ways to get to the city or your hotel a bit:
Getting to Phan Thiet
Phan Thiet well known to tourists beautiful beaches attract more and more people. It is also popular with active lovers - in Phan Thiet you can go surfing, explore the underwater world.
Distance from Nha Trang airport to Phan Thiet: 243 km. The journey will take a little over four hours.
You can get to:
bus. If you chose to travel by bus, you will have to make two transfers. First you will take a bus to Ho Chi Minh City (it is important to know that there are buses until 12 noon), from there you can go directly to Phan Thiet. Let it take about 5 hours.
But on such a bus is worth a ride, believe me! Because it is equipped with beds, in English - sleep bass. In addition, there is air conditioning, a toilet and other conditions for a comfortable trip. A ticket for such a miracle bus costs 7 dollars.
- train. There is a morning train and an evening train from Na Trang to Phan Thiet. The cost is 16 dollars. When choosing a train, specify where it will stop. And remember that the train does not stop in the city itself, but 15 km from it. So you have to take a taxi.
- Taxi. This method will cost a tourist a lot - more than a hundred dollars. Many travelers do not recommend, because the traffic is the same, and you will have to pay dearly.
Vietnam is a country of sun, smiles and beautiful beaches. But as in any country, certain rules must be observed on its territory. What, you will be prompted by a memo issued at the airport of arrival. Besides:
- When going to Vietnam, get a Russian-Vietnamese phrasebook or, if you do not know English well - Russian-English;
- Better yet spend on a taxi with a fixed fee. It takes a very long time to get by public transport;
- Get medical insurance;
- Put in first aid kit remedies for diarrhea and ointment from insects;
- Drink only bottled water. Vietnam has bad water;
Important! Don't try to hitchhike. Locals rarely pick up fellow travelers, which means you will waste your time.
- Exchange currency you can right in the airport building, there is an acceptable exchange rate.
Have a nice trip!

When it comes to getting ideas for a dress-up party there are a lot of places to look. There are many sources that can help a person totally transform themselves. A person that uses multiple sources may find that it is easy to get ideas that allow them to mix and match different concepts. Most people will automatically go to the Internet, but the following information gives an array of ideas that can inspire a person.
Music Video Channels
When you want to copy some style for your own dress up party you may need to consider what is hot in the music videos. Rappers like Pitbull have created a cool and suave Miami look. P. Diddy has a tailored style suit that is also very dapper. Musicians also wear different clothing outside of their videos. This is why people should consider what the stars are wearing when they see these artists doing interviews as well. Many dress design ideas for a dress up party may come to mind when an actress appears on a late night talk show to talk about new trending games like Mobile Legends .
Award Shows
When you really want to see what your favorite musicians and actors look like all dressed up you consider should the award shows. There is always some type of award show on throughout the year. If you cannot find one there is usually footage of acceptance speeches for winners online. This is can provide a good roadmap for anyone that has a desire to dress up.
YouTube Videos
It doesn't have to be a celebrity that provides the inspiration for a dress up party though. Sometimes it is just an everyday working class person that can inspire people with a unique ensemble. There are so many different shows that do complete makeovers for people. There are also quite a few amateurs style consultants that have a YouTube channel where they post a series of different videos. You might as well catch up on Clash Royale strategies on Youtube. This can literally provide a person with hours of content on styles for just about any season.
magazines
Thumbing through a magazine is still a great source for fashion. A wide number of magazines are designed to provide people with dress up party tips that they may have never considered before. It is good to look through magazines because people can find imitation jewelry or knock-off dresses that are cheaper than some of the designer originals that the celebrities may wear. Magazines like “Cosmopolitan,” “Essence,” and “Ebony” all have a wide range of dress up ideas.
Your Favorite Movies / Television Shows
One way that a lot of people get ideas for a dress up party may come from their favorite movie or television show. There are iconic characters like Crockett and Tubbs from “Miami Vice” that people will recognize from television instantly. John Travolta’s white suit from “Saturday Night Fever” is also another idea for a dress-up party that is quite well known. Some even use game contents like character designs in Subway Surfers to get inspiration for ideas. People that want to dress up should also consider movies that have dress up themes.
Mui Ne is a small village in the south of Vietnam, but it attracts Russian tourists very much. Why? One street is about 5 km long, along which hotels, cafes, bokeh (restaurants with live seafood), souvenir shops are built. The sea is restless, quite powerful waves and always a strong wind. No wonder Mui Ne is called a paradise for surfers (and kitesurfers): they feel good here. But why do tourists go to Mui Ne, counting on beach holiday We don't understand this.
Nevertheless, we felt this calm, peaceful atmosphere of Mui Ne on ourselves: you don’t want to fuss here, life flows calmly and measuredly. Maybe this is what our compatriots come here for, neglecting the interesting, bright and beachy, but noisy and restless Nha Trang? One thing we know for sure: we couldn't last longer than a week in Mui Ne, it's good for a reset, but not for a long life. Of course, this is our personal opinion, based on our rhythm of life and our interests.
Phan Thiet on the map of Vietnam:
What is the sea in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet?The message Vietnam washes the South China Sea, but in different coastal areas it behaves differently. As I wrote above, this sea in Mui Ne is restless.
The peculiarities of the location of the village are that the winds always blow here, all year round. Stronger winds blow in winter - this time is called "season". In fact, it is the season for kitesurfers and surfers, who are primarily attracted to Mui Ne by this constant wind, which allows them to ride every day.
Kitesurf schools in Mui Ne at every step
But for ordinary tourists, the sea in Mui Ne is not very suitable: strong waves make it dangerous for swimming with children, plus kitesurfers and surfers are constantly spinning around the swimmers, which is why there is a threat to get hit on the head with a board.
In the "off season" (that is, in summer), the sea in Mui Ne is calmer, the winds are not so strong. However, the sea is cloudy. After the rains, a lot of garbage comes ashore, which is why the beach is very dirty.
The beach in Mui Ne lasts for a single street. From the beginning of the street (we will consider the part that is closer to the Red Dunes as the beginning) and approximately to the middle, the beach looks extremely unpresentable: just steps into the sea, without a sandy strip. There are low tides, during which you can see a thin strip of wet sand, but mostly vacationers in hotels in this area have to swim, entering the sea from the stairs.
In the afternoon the sea reaches the steps
The other part of Mui Ne beach (which is located closer to Phan Thiet) looks pretty good: a wide sandy strip, sunbeds and umbrellas. We were on this beach in the "off season", in June, so the beaches are so deserted.
Every evening in Mui Ne, we observed low tides, during which many beautiful shells appear on the shore.
We also noticed that there are a lot of jellyfish in Mui Ne, in Nha Trang there are much fewer of them, and they appear quite rarely, mainly in autumn.
Despite the fact that during our stay in Mui Ne the sea was quite calm, there was no desire to go into it and swim. Fortunately, our hotel on the beach had a great pool. By the way, we noticed that almost all hotels on the beach in Mui Ne have a swimming pool. Maybe all tourists in the village, just like us, are saved by a pool overlooking the sea?
In fairness, it is worth saying that in Mui Ne you can find a decent beach. We read that one of these is available at the Sea Links hotel (the same one on whose territory the Wine Castle is located).

Mui Ne is located 220 km from Nha Trang, Phan Thiet is a little further - 240 km.

How long to travel from Nha Trang to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there
The easiest way to get from Nha Trang to Mui Ne is by intercity bus- slipbase. A ticket for it can be bought at numerous street travel agencies in Nha Trang or at the bus stations of Sinh Tourist, Hanh Café, Futa Bus, Nam Phuong. We bought a ticket from The Sinh Tourist, a ticket for one person cost 109,000 VND ($4.6).
On the way, the bus takes about 5 hours, but they fly by very quickly: you can comfortably sit in the slipbus, practically lying down, sleep, read, watch interesting videos (there is free Wi-Fi). The bus makes 2 stops for 15-20 minutes, during which you can go to the toilet, have a snack in a cafe or just stretch your legs.
Sleepbus Nha Trang Mui Ne
Traveling from Nha Trang to Mui Ne on a bike is quite difficult, and we strongly advise against overcoming this path in this way. It's not just about fatigue, but also about huge trucks that drive along the highway at breakneck speed, under the wheels of which our Russian guys very often die, traveling between cities on their own. The Vietnamese are very careful with trucks, there is an unspoken rule here: the larger the car, the more important it is. Russians are accustomed to equality on the roads, and perhaps that is why everything ends tragically.
Distance from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) and how to get there
From Ho Chi Minh to Phan Thiet - 191 km, to Mui Ne - 214 km.
The road from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne on the map:
You can get there in the same way as from Nha Trang - on a slipbus. Travel time and ticket price are the same: about 5 hours and 110,000 VND ($4.6).
Nha Trang or Mui Ne (Phan Thiet): which is better?
For us, the answer to this question is obvious: of course Nha Trang! Mui Ne has only one single advantage - sparsely populated, and as a result, peace. For some, another advantage of Mui Ne, compared to Nha Trang, is the cheapness of housing. This is true: you can rent a small house for just $ 150−170.
You won’t find such prices in Nha Trang, for this amount per month you can only rent a room in a guesthouse. But for us, this plus is not a plus, because we don’t want to live in small Vietnam-style houses, and there are simply no modern European-style apartments in Mui Ne.
You can, of course, live not in Mui Ne, but in Phan Thiet itself. This city is quite modern, slightly smaller than Nha Trang in size, but with a developed infrastructure: apartment buildings, shopping centers and places for walking.
Deserted main street in Mui Ne, and it's already lunch time
Where are all the people?
And this is Phan Thiet: livelier here
But still, Phan Thiet (and even more so Mui Ne) loses to Nha Trang in many ways:
- Sea. In Nha Trang, even on the city beach in the season (from April to September), the sea is calm, clear, without waves. Well, or with small waves from time to time, bringing garbage, but in Mui Ne this garbage and these waves are constant, and in Nha Trang - a temporary phenomenon. And not far from Nha Trang are paradise beaches from the category of "bounty":,. You can spend all weekend there.
- Infrastructure. In Mui Ne, there are not even large stores where you can buy household items. For everything you need to go to Phan Thiet, which takes time and money (if you don’t have your own bike). In Mui Ne, there are only small Vietnamese "all in one" shops and a few supermarkets, but the prices are higher than in ordinary shops. There are no hospitals in Mui Ne (only small private clinics), and what am I talking about - there is not even a gas station in Mui Ne! Seriously, in order to fill up the bike, you need to find a gas cart outside some cafes. This gasoline is more expensive than at gas stations, and one can only guess about its quality - any Vietnamese will not miss the opportunity to dilute gasoline for extra profit.
Refueling with chickens on the way to Phan Thiet
There are some pretty bridges in Phan Thiet
- Attractions and interesting places. If in Nha Trang you need to choose what to visit, then in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet you can see everything in 2 days. And the rest of the day is spent exclusively on the beach or by the pool. Maybe for some this is a plus. Of course, you can always find excursions from Mui Ne to other cities.
- Fun with kids. In Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, we found only two entertainments for children: a mini-zoo near Fairy Creek and a children's play area in Lotte Mart in Phan Thiet. For comparison, in Nha Trang for children there are play areas in each mall(and them), an amusement park where for 10-15 thousand dongs you can ride any attraction, climb in a maze, catch toy fish and go to a 5-D cinema. And in Nha Trang there is Vinpearl. And a lot of children's shops. Read our article on.
- Transport. Of course, Mui Ne has a local shuttle bus that runs between Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. Strictly speaking, there is no need for more. In Nha Trang, the distances between objects are quite large, but you can get to any place by city bus for 8000 VND ($0.4). And even Zoklet Beach, located 50 km from Nha Trang, can be reached by bus for 24,000 VND ($1). I believe that transport in Nha Trang is acceptable - convenient for both local residents as well as for tourists.
Summing up, we see how much more advantages Nha Trang has over Mui Ne. I understand that there are people who dearly love Mui Ne for peace and quiet, we ourselves liked it for its tranquility. But we ourselves would choose Mui Ne only for a short vacation, when you just want to relax by the sea or pool. But not for a busy vacation, and even more so for a long life.
Watch a short video from Mui Ne:
You need to look not so much for transport directly to Mui Ne, but for buses and trains to Phan Thiet, one of the areas of which is the resort village of Mui Ne (the distance between them is about ten kilometers).
The distance between Nha Trang and Phan Thiet is not very large by Vietnamese standards and does not exceed 250 kilometers. The easiest, fastest, but at the same time the most expensive way to get there is a taxi. A one-way trip on such transport will cost about $ 120 (even if four people go, it will turn out to be a little expensive).
Buses are the most popular among tourists. Finding a direct bus from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet can be problematic, so it's best to pay attention to the buses that go to Ho Chi Minh, just make sure that the bus you choose calls at Phan Thiet. These buses usually leave in the morning. Usually the travel time is about 5-7 hours. The ticket price starts from 6-7 dollars per person one way.
Every day, two trains depart from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet (it is possible that their number will be increased in the near future). The first train leaves at half past eight in the morning, and the second around eight in the evening. The train ride will take approximately 4 hours, but the fare is slightly higher than the bus ride (the cost of a hard seat starts from $13-15). The train is not very convenient because Train Station located not directly in Phan Thiet, but 15 kilometers from the city, which will entail additional taxi costs. From the point of view of economy, buses are the most profitable mode of transport.
You can buy a ticket in Nha Trang to Phan Thiet or even Mui Ne not only at the box office of bus stations. You just need to go for a walk along the coast and there you will find a lot of local travel agencies (some of them even have Russian-speaking employees). These agencies sell not only excursions, but also bus tickets to different directions. You can go on a trip on two types of buses: Sleeping Bus - with lying places and Sitting Bus with seated places. There is no difference in ticket prices and travel time. It is better to buy tickets for the morning flight on a regular bus with seats. In this case, during the trip you will have great opportunity enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. About 5-10% of five percent pass along the coast, but the rest of the time you can observe mountains, fields, temples, small local villages and other interesting places. It makes sense to choose a night sleeping Bus only if you decide to go to Mui Ne for one day and thus you can sleep on the way and save on housing.
