• Timing: Get in early, as it will not be as crowded, especially in tourist peak seasons.

• Post-Bath Care: Avoid using soap for a day or so, allowing the nutrients in the mud to act on your skin.

Getting to Nha Trang isn't too difficult

• By Air: Direct flights connect Nha Trang with major Vietnamese cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietjet has one of the cheapest flights but they have low baggage allowance but do check skyscanner to find cheapest options for Vietnam.

• By Train: Reunification Express has a very scenic route hugging the coastline. Use the Vexere app for booking trains online, it's available in english and the UI is quite nice for the booking website (can also book bus tickets).

• Local Transport: Taxis, as well as buses, are convenient for accessing the mud baths. Grab taxis are the best options if you want to avoid haggling and want a professional transport option in Nha trang.

Why Nha Trang Mud Baths?

That is Nha Trang: everything about natural beauty, well-being, and some cool vibes from the culture, too. From dirt cheap to an extravagant escape, the city's got heaps of options for every kind of traveler. That is really worth putting in your schedule because the memories will be unforgettable, and you will have seen one more side of Vietnam's wonderful mineral mud.

We highly suggest you to buy the tickets directly at the mud bath facility rather than pre booking through third party services which will cost you 50% or more. You will almost always find free slots but if you are really anxious and don’t mind the high cost then you might consider third party services like Tripadvisor or Klook.

People have this misconception in mind that Nha Trang is just a tourist city mainly known for its beautiful beaches. But they don’t know there are tons and tons of things that can be enjoyed in Nha trang from mud bath to scuba diving.
