Nha Trang is a visually appealing and affordable coastal city with good infrastructure, including well-paved roads and strong food delivery networks. Local seafood dishes are a highlight and pizza was noted as surprisingly good. Internet speeds were sufficient for general use, making it workable for remote professionals. Renting a house with ample workspace is recommended over working from cafes due to the limited number of good work-friendly cafes in the city. On the downside, the weather in May 2024 was reported as overly hot, making it difficult to be outdoors during the day. Interactions with locals, particularly men, were frequently described as unfriendly or rude, and forming new social connections was a challenge. In addition, the water quality isn't great and cash is still the main method of payment, with limited card usage. While there’s some expat and Russian family presence, the city lacks the vibrancy or variety that long-term digital nomads might seek. Overall, while affordable and internet-ready, Nha Trang may not suit everyone looking to settle down for an extended period.

The city's infrastructure is well developed. Well-paved asphalt roads. Overall, it is a complex city. The climate has changed, it got too hot and it was impossible to go out during the day in my May 2024 visit. The city is full of tourist condominiums for Vietnamese retirement income. Each condo is not unique. The sea is the best thing about this city. Western food is expensive compared to local cuisine, and annoyingly, pizza is delicious. Local food using seafood is delicious. I didn't feel like there was much to do in the city. I would recommend renting a house with plenty of workspace rather than going out and working. Food delivery apps are well spread out. Cash rather than credit cards. I rarely used credit cards only few times. Internet speeds were satisfactory. The water supply is of poor quality.

City was cheap and pretty but there's not that many cafes to work from, plenty of tourists and it was hard to make friends. If you go here make sure to rent a motorbike and check out the nature but there are better places to live at in Vietnam.

Many Russians live here. Not the tattoo ones, mostly Russian families often with small kids. Many of them has small restaurants or shops. We stayed for one months and it wasn't great but it was also not too bad. We stayed in many places in Vietnam for long periods of time but in Nha Trang the locals are not very friendly. Especially the men are very macho and rude.

0.02$ for dinner?? Load of crap. Anyone who has been here or lives here knows that it is impossible. Who puts those calculations!? Totally unreliable

Green is good. Red is bad. Values shown are the medians of all daily highs in a month based on past few years, not necessarily current numbers. Remote worker count is estimated based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.

@josh_works: "My wife and I are in Buenos Aires right now. Starting this whole nomad thing felt 100x easier once I joined Nomads.com and saw other people just... doing it."
@melissawashin: "I gave my two weeks notice last week, and I'm flying to Portugal in two weeks. It's important to say (for the ninth time) that joining Nomads.com was the best decision I made to best inform and prepare myself for this decision. So thank you a million times over!"
@zackyoung: "You're going to be lonely sometimes and that's okay. One way I combat this is by being a part of Nomads.com and meet up with other remote workers."
