Are police in Nha Trang stopping and drug-testing tourists from specific countries?

According to traveler discussions, police reportedly ask nationality first — if you say you're Russian, they ask for your passport and a urine sample on the spot; tourists from other countries apparently aren't checked this way.

Travelers note there are noticeably more Russian-speaking visitors in Nha Trang than in Da Nang, and they're often recognizable by eyelash extensions and permanent eyebrow makeup.

Even without local language skills, travelers say you can ask fellow Russian-speaking tourists on the beach to watch your belongings — people usually agree, so leaving a bag under someone's watch is doable.
